Second time taking part in #needleworkmonday !! Shoutout to @crosheille for getting this little subcommunity started!! ❤️
My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was so young that I barely remember learning the basics. I must have been just under 5 when I started making chains. Granny was a hard woman to please and if it wasn't done right, well, you did it again. I can't tell you how many projects I had to "frog" because she found a mistake that at the time, I couldn't see.
I've been crocheting now for over 3 decades and I'm happy to say that I've move past just making chains.
In memory of Shark Week I decided to post the shark bag I made. Used a pattern from The Cookie Snob here's the link!

What a great bag! super cool!
and I like your grandma. Not sure when I heard it first but when it comes to crafts and DIY whenever I do something and it isn't perfect, I think about this quote: "anything worth doing, is worth doing right" - and then i go back and do whatever it was I wasn't happy with again.. :)

Thanks! I really like the idea of needleworkmonday. It gives me something to focus on while I go through my Monday mornings. My grandmother was a pro for sure! She would say..."The only way to do it is the right way!"

Love it!! I love your grandmother's stance on doing it the right way. I'm so anal about my stitches. If it isn't neat I'm frogging it haaaa! I'm so glad you like this idea and decided to participate. It does give us something to look forward to and encourages us to keep our needles out. It's so cool that there are several crafters on here and now we can all share!!
