Survey Question: ages of needleworkers?
wild
after reading one or two posts in The Garden, there seemed to be a
repetetive debate on the expected age of a needleworker. I assume that
most posting here are in the 40+ age range, but, purely out of interest,
I would like to do a survey - and this includes all lurkers who don愒
normally post!
So, to start, I惴 27.

I am 41 now.
However, I learned to knit at 15, to crochet at 16, did needlepoint from about
12, but discovered Xst at about 20, and gave up on NP as Xst was much cheaper
and I prefered fabric to mesh canvas.
I learned to Quilt in my early 30's, and to tat in my late 30's.

somewhere around age 8 or 9.
The stats so far for our current ages are:
Mean = 47
Median = 45.5
Mode = 67
Not tracking starting age since some are uncertain (ME!!) and some
responded with starting age for different forms of needlework.

What Caryn says is important. For needleworkers to identify themselves
by age means you are only surveying a particular "group". Some persons
might not find themselves comfortable in any group. Besides which, it
really has to do with "when" we started, which might be more appropriate
in coming to terms with periods of "time" when needlework predominated
more than others, particularly the "type" of needlework
Oh, leave it to me to go off half-cocked and not make any sense.
Started surface embroiderying at 5 and never really stopped, though it
was pretty "coarse".
Knitting & crocheting at 12
Sewing at 12
Tatting at 19 - though didn't get it until early 50's
I'm a weary 58.

Brenda Lewis
35, say I started at age 9. Someone who is currently age 70 may have
also started at age 9. Obviously we took up needlework in different
eras even though we both started at the same age. The more I think
about it, I believe I did start in 1977...

I learned to tat on a sort of dare from my grandmother. She promised me the
silver shuttle she recieved as a child if I'd learn.
So months of failure and three books later I finally got it! Sent her a
tatted bookmark, and on our next visit to her she gave me the shuttle.
She then admitted that while she did get the shuttle as a child, she herself
never managed to "get" tatting!
She is the one who gave me my first knitting needles tho, and she also
crocheted and quilted.

I actually gave the ages I picked it up as a hobby.
Learned to stitch at about 5 or 6 from my greatgrandmother who handed me a
needle and a stamped cross stitch dresser scarf from her stash, and showed me
how to follow the X's! I think, more than anything, she was trying to keep a
too active child busy and out of her way! ROFL
I also managed to earn my needlework Girl Scout badge when I was 9 or 10
too....not that meant I was a stitcher at that point by any means!

to 76 for a sample of 51 needleworkers. There have been 19 people who
have responded with their age when they started, all bar 1 were between
5 and 15, with the highest concentration (42%) at 8 and 9 years of age.
For this I have counted the earliest age for ANY form of needlework (be

Totally forgot to say I started stitching when I was 10 years old when
grandma taught me. Though I was sewing lavender sachets at age 7 for a
charity my grandma was involved with (Does that count??)
Started quilting age 20.
Learning crochet at a tender age of 34 (now!!!). LOL
That changes the stats a bit.

No, I see the books for it, but haven't tried it yet. Took me so long to get
shuttle tatting I feel like I should stick to it! Not to mention I already
have the "stuff"! lol
Bobbin lace has always fascinated me, I spent some time watching a woman do it,
and it was just so pretty.
There is one thing I really like about shuttle tatting, the portability. It
takes up almost no room in my purse...which is a good thing as it already has a
book, wallet, crayons, sunglasses...and other stuff that just seems to have
collected there! <g>

Hi, I started to crochet when I was about 13 or 14. Just recently I
taught myself how to knit. I'm 42!! My daughter is now 17 and was
crocheting when she was 14. She hates following a pattern and much
prefers to make up her own. Hmm...I wonder where she gets that from?

My mother has it even worse. Her birthday is less than a week before
Mother's Day, and then for her 23rd birthday gift, I was born. Last year on
her 50th birthday was the first time her birthday usurped mine. By the way,
I'm 28. Don't remember when I started starting stitching, but it was
approximately age 14, but only got serious closer to age 18-21.
