Kid donates money to the orphanage in Ethiopia that he was adopted from too. I’m in awe of this guy.

Ugh so refreshing. I’d much rather hear about this than the other stuff right now.

As a crocheter myself, I know talent and creativity don't recognize gender. Making hand crocheted pieces should be recognized as a skill anyone should feel comfortable engaging in. Once society gets over gender and age specific stereotypes, more talented people will feel free to express themselves creatively. We will all be better as a result.

I've been crocheting since I was about six or seven, when my grandma taught me. I love you grandma!

[leonornarvaez]

My grandmother taught me too when I was in 8th grade! She taught me the basics and I fell in love with it. She died the next year. I took it up again a few years ago and continued learning through YouTube. It’s so relaxing and I wish more young people would start. It’s not just for grandmas haha. It’s an instant reward of relaxation and comfort while also incorporating the idea of what priceless things can come from longer projects that you invest in. I feel like many life lessons are learned while you are creating a project doing crochet.

A very special young man and smart parents. In a world with so many young children hooked on electronic/ computer games, this is refreshing. Continue to create and inspire... I love crocheting myself.

[lesliewheeler]

Talented kid (and adorable)! His parents were smart giving him a hook and some yarn.

Jonah is a beautiful child with a beautiful heart. One day, he'll be a fabulous doctor...which is his dream. God bless him.

How wonderful. I've crocheted for years and I'm not as fast. Bless him, what a gem. Whatever he decides to do in life he'll always have this craft whenever he wishes. This make me smile so much. Just subscribed to him. He can teach me a thing or two.
