On my last visit to Vancouver my mom gave me three craft books, one on embroidery and two about crocheting. They have lovely patterns but they are written in Italian. I mentioned on a previous post that I can't read crochet or knitting patterns but I'm determined to learn. So I crocheted beanie hats from a very simple pattern and was very happy with the finished hats.
But..Italian, yikes, I don't know if I'll ever manage..
I'm off to Vancouver again, this time for work, but I will be staying with my mom, and with free evenings I wonder what she can teach me this time around, hopefully socks...

Have a wonderful visit with your mom.
I can knit and crochet but I think that trying to do it in Italian would be a bit difficult. I would rather sew or cook. My husband is Italian but he can't read it.
If you see Margy tell her hi for my.
I have found many wonderful crochet and knit patterns on the net. I also have a fair number of pattern books too if you want to borrow any of them. I sell my crochet hats and dishcloths at Crafter's Corner at the Britannia Beach General Store. I get a lot of my yarn and fabric at Thrift stores but also love Dressew and sometimes their prices are as cheap as Thrift.
