Crochet by Aunt Nan’s Hands

05/03/2026

My Granny Hancock taught me to crochet. The summer before 4th grade, it wasn't necessarily the cool thing to sit inside, chaining miles upon miles of yarn. But the most important thing she taught me was that NOTHING I created would EVER turn out right if I did it with too much impatience. The madder I got, the tighter I wrestled that yarn and gripped that hook. So, she'd quietly remind me, "Yanking it tighter won't make it any righter."
I won a 4-H award for this afghan and couldn't wait to show her. I still wonder to this day whether she studied my handiwork and noticed all the oopsies I saw so clearly, or if she was just proud. I think she was just proud. 🧶

My very favorite part of what I do is hearing the stories behind the projects I'm get to make. 🐢 💕 🧶

This year's Georgia "winter" inspiration felt more like a balmy 72 degrees, so the little nieces and nephews got a colorful, fluffy, fish snuggle buddy! 🐠 🌞

Aunt Nan loves you all so very much! 🧶

🧶 Here’s a throwback to my personal favorite, the plush and versatile "Sunset Slouchy Cowl.” This one-button cowl could be styled as a slouchy triangle cowl OR as a button-and-collar neck warmer! Toasty! 🧣
