Passing of a torch (or needle)

My mom has crochetted for years and years. Her grandmother (my great grandmother) taught her. There is no telling how many afghan's, blankets, booties, sweaters, etc she has made. She taught me how to do a chain when I was little. When I was 14, I made my first granny square blanket. Then when I was pregnant with Landon I made my first afghan for him. Then I made alot when Dan was overseas and I was pregnant with Audrie. We had a baby boom at the church and I had no husband to occupy my time, so I crochetted the deployment days away. I now make hats, shoes, blankets, and other little trinkets. Lexie came to me the other night and wanted me to teach her. She has the chain down and is now making bracelets and necklaces for me, her teachers and all of her little friends. I am so proud of her that she is loving it so much. It is so nice to give something to people that they know you put your effort and love into. Lexie loves making things for people so now we can sit and crochet together and it is just one more person in the linage of our family to know how to crochet :)
