How Crochet Has Changed in 40 Years | LIVE with Creative Grandma

How has crochet changed over the past 40 years? 📅 DATE: October 23rd, 2026 ⏰ TIME: 3:00 pm EDT Join me for a special YouTube Live with Glenda from Creative Grandma as we take a trip through the history of crochet and hear her incredible story! Glenda has been designing crochet patterns for more than 40 years, beginning long before YouTube, social media, and digital patterns became part of the crochet world. What started as a way to earn extra money for her family eventually grew into a remarkable creative career, from publishing patterns in crochet magazines to building a successful YouTube channel. During our conversation, we'll chat about: • How Glenda first learned to crochet and began designing patterns • What it was like working with crochet magazines before the internet • How the crochet industry has changed over the past four decades • Her journey from magazine designer to YouTube creator • Her favorite crochet hooks, yarns, stitches, and projects • What she's learned from a lifetime of crochet designing PLUS: A fun round of Crochet Would You Rather? (Play along in the chat!) And, of course, we'll leave plenty of time for your questions for Glenda! Whether you've been crocheting for decades or just picked up your first hook, I think you'll love hearing Glenda's stories and learning how our wonderful craft has evolved over the years. Grab your current WIP, pour yourself something cozy, and come crochet and chat with us live!
