I fake knit...using one of those circle things with pegs so that it looks like you knit...but without all the knitting needles.
I used to crochet, but haven't in years.
I started working on a quilt that I want to make out of old t-shirts I don't wear anymore (mostly from high school or vacations) but I haven't gotten very far on that.
I am a crocheter who is thinking of trying my hand at knitting as well. I have been crocheting for over a year and a half. I started the last time my son went into the hospital for surgery. And I love crocheting. Here are a few pictures of someof the stuff I have made:
Scrap booking is fun I'm making 4 , for Christmas they take a lot of time but are worth it and so much fun to put together .Does any one else scrap booking?
I crochet big squares of any yarn I can get my hand on. When I have enough, I give them to the Salvation Army. They put them into blankets as part of the Warm Up America campaign.
I can't knit to save my life.
I'm a new quilting addict. I'll have to get some pics of what I've done for people. I'm in the process of finishing up 2 quillows for 2 grand nephews.
My craft room needs to throw up. I have to do that on occasion because it gets too unruly. After I finish my quillows, I'll spend a weekend helping it throw up and rearrange it. Then I'm going to start some sort of Christmas pattern for a mantle runner.
I've got a big needlepoint project in the media room. After addressing the craft room, I'll tackle it again. I love to sit in there in the evening and do my needlepoint while I watch some of my shows.
I'm just learning to quilt starting with a strip quilt, quilts are so pretty when they are done and a lot of work I suppose.I don't have the patience for knitting or crocheting wish I did lol.
This is such a great thread! I love knitting and soap making. I haven't made soap in awhile...been too busy...but I love working with all the scents and herbs. I learned to knit by getting a kids knitting book and making all the hideous little projects in the book. One of the projects was a soda can cozy! LOL! I swear I was so proud of that thing. Anyway, because the book was geared towards kids, it was super easy and had lots of pictures. I'm very craft challenged, but when I want to learn something I do it with a vengence! I HAD to have the BEST soda cozy EVER!! So for all of you who are afraid to learn to knit, check out a couple of kids books on knitting. I got mine at the library and checked it out several times until I finished ALL of the hideous little projects, even the striped leg warmers!
I make beaded jewelry. I also am a lampworker (melting glass rods with a torch to make beads)and I want to try my hand at mosaics and chain maille, also.
Do any of you crafters have any easy to follow crafts that would that would make great presents.I just saw a cute idea on DIY a family recipe books. thanks for sharing.

I would try looking in the kids craft section at your local library..........I have found a ton of cute and easy craft project books at our local library. In fact that's how I learned to knit and crochet, very basic kids' books! I'll have to get pictures on here, I keep meaning to
I do scrap booking but it is time consuming and there are so many to buy for I'd be 90 before I got them all finished lol I 'm thinking also mixes in a jar ,thanks for the suggestion.
