Applause please…I managed to convince one of my non-knitter friends to crochet. My friend, LT learned how to crochet years ago. He explained that the needlecrafts were part of the Filipino school curriculum.
For the last couple of years, LT would watch me, knit and say to me, “I know how to crochet” and he would mimic the actions of a crocheter. Each time he would watch me knit, he would ask me, “Where would I buy the hook and thread?” and my reply was the same each time-I run through a list of places in Dublin that would sell crochet hooks and yarn.
Then one day out of the blue, LT announced, “I’m going into town to buy something to crochet. Where do I go?”
I recommended, This is Knit and directions were given to Powerscourt Centre.
So…LT, spent one evening crocheting…
Isn’t this lovely?

Wow, it’s so even and neat.
I saw him and his friend come in on Tuesday! But I was across the corridor battling cotton which kept bouncing off the shelf at me :/
Between the Harmony hook and the Noro Silk Garden (?) you’ve really started him off on crack-coccaine, haven’t you? No namby-pamby, gateway drugs for you, eh? He’s not coming down for a while.
Ahh, the dark side!
