Trading crochet tips and tricks with grandma!

We came for a visit with my mother-in-law. We live about 2200 km away. And grandma and Serafina got to spend a bunch of time crafting together.

Serafina taught grandma how to make a crochet magic circle (which she had never heard of, in her decades and decades lived with crochet hook in hand) and grandma taught Serafina how to make this pretty edging: “you just crochet backwards, from left to right instead of right to left!” If anyone knows what this stitch (pictured in the right image) is called, let me know.

What a blessing to have intergenerational knowledge being passed down.

What do you or your kids do with grandparents or with other lovely seniors who give of their time?
