Like you, I also learned knitting and crocheting from my grandma and sewing from my mom. I delivered needles to Sandi yesterday, she has her practice yarn and looks like a go. SB, ok, then, come to town ready next week! There is a skein in a drawer with your name on it! GJ, I agree that it’s a grandmotherly duty to teach their grandkids those skills.

However, all grandmothers should teach their grandchildren how to knit AND crochet. That's how I learned. Not, by the way, from my mom, though she did teach me how to sew. I would guess that the answer to your question is that it depends upon the friend. Sounds to me like Sandi has hands and fingers that know what they are doing; she should be a good learner.
