African women have a lot of skills to teach to future generations. Growing up in an African homestead one would easily admire the craftsmanship around the house that women easily created whiling away the hours before resuming their usual tasks. One such interesting craft is the art of crocheting. This is one amazing skill that can be taught through generations and as soon as you get the hang of it, you do not want to stop.
