Genius Hour week 1 - Learning the Single Crochet
My Background Story
Growing up my Grandmother taught me how to knit when she was taking care of my sister and I. We always enjoyed this as it was our time we spent watching 'grown up' television shows, like soap operas. As we got older, our lives got busier and it became more difficult to find time to spend with my grandmother, and the...
