So, I'm sure there are some of you out there that think crocheting is  for old ladies or something. And honestly, some of the crocheted things  I see don't really tickle my fancy. Looking at these hangers that may  be exactly what you are thinking. But trust me these are amazing! My  whole life My great grandma would give us these silly little hangers for  birthdays or Christmas or whatever. Growing up I don't think I  appreciated them as much as I do now. I was just a kid who's mom did  most of the laundry. But let me tell you why these hangers are more than  just something else to crochet yarn on to. They are perfect grippers!  Silky shirts and slippery material stays put. If you are like me I hang  up my camis. These are perfect for that too. Again, no slippage. And have  you ever had to hang something to dry like a nice shirt? And when you  take it off the hanger there is that really annoying imprint from the  hanger? I hate that thing! But with these nifty hangers you don't get  that. Now, I may be a little sentimental over them, having had them  around always and them totally being attached to memories of my Great  Grandma in her chair crocheting. But I also Really think they are  handy. One con-You cannot hang your pants on them. Sorry. :(
Well, my GG passed away a little over a  year ago and I was sad that the hangers would be gone. I mean that in a  sentimental way... not like some spoiled brat who wants more hangers  kind of way... blah. ANYWAY Come to find out, she taught my Grandma, and  this past weekend my Grandma attempted ( for the 3rd time!) to try and  teach me. Well... this time I got it!!! I totally made my first  crocheted hanger! And I'm so overjoyed that I can pass this little  legacy onto my children and hopefully my grandchildren and MAYBE even my  great grandchildren. That's what I knew I would miss... her legacy. But  she made sure to pass it down along with so many memories and love and  wisdom. Thanks Great Grandma! Love ya and miss ya.
