What all do you do craftwise?

So far I only knit but I plan on learing to crochete eventually too. I wonder what everyone here is involved in?



Pam



Knitting, crocheting, hardanger, needlepoint, sewing. I do a smattering of all of these as the inclination arises.

Hi

I knit, crochet, cross-stitch, needlepoint, petit point, learning to spin, also make wreaths, etc.

Hi, Pam! I knit, crochet, spin, tat, work bobbinlace and design patterns. Hugs, Noreen (I also weave 'once-in-a-while')

AND spend a fair amount of time on the computer! du-uh! LOL N.

Hi Pam I knit, crochet, Tunisian crochet, tat, cro-tat, cro-hook, broomstick crochet & cross stitch. I'm always open to try a new yarn technique and some "take" more than others. One day I'm going to have a serious go at hairpin lace: so watch out Noreen, I'll be asking lots of questions!! Love & higs Christine

Ready, willing and questionable on the able, Christine! Hugs, Noreen :D

Might have to wait a while but it's definitely on my list Noreen. BTW I've been wearing the scarf you gave me in our horrid damp cold weather. It's just a handy size inside a coat. Thanks again Love & higs Christine

Hi Pam,

I knit, crochet and do counted cross-stitch.

Hugs,

Nora

I have done many crafts but have settled on bead work, greeting card making and computer studies.

If you want to see what I have done go to these web pages that a friend in USA put up for me before I built my own website

I knit, crochet, sew (by hand) for Halloween... and used to make play costumes for my son's school plays, I dabble (not too very often anymore) in sketching... and I want to get into painting.

Mostly knitting, but I have recently started a little bit of crochet. I also crossstitch, and hook rugs (several varieties).

Hi Pam

Belated welcome to RCTY from me.

My current passions are crochet (wire and yarn) and sewing (clothing and one BIG fleece blanket). I'm also a fledgling quilter (a couple of baby quilts and wall hangings; first major project I just rotary-cut today for DS's 5th birthday), can knit (try not to, though), and have cross-stitched in the past. I'll also try anything that catches my eye; recent projects have been beaded jewelry, painting various objects, a glass-on-glass candleholder, some bits of fabric flower arranging, Christmas ornaments (painted wood, painted glass, beaded), a padded fabric noteboard...basically anything that catches my eye in a craft store. Plus the requisite paper-and-glue-and-pompoms things with my children, one of which can crochet (G, 7 1/2), one of which won't learn (I, 10 1/2) and the last of which I'm afraid to let near anything that can be a weapon (T's almost five, gimme a break!).

Here's a photo album of some of my stuff. I made the dresses you see and most of the knitted/crocheted stuff, except the purple lacey sweater G has on in the 2004 photo.

Thank you. I must really try and get some more tassels made but first I have to shake of this terrible head cold that I have got. Shirley

I'll second that. Although I ADORE knitting lace (or lace knitting or whatever they call what I do), I still think quilting is my favorite of all.

--who needs to finish about six of them. And start another four.

I'm a crocheter.

Craftwise I knit, spin & dye my own yarn, crochet, macrame, embroidery (hand & machine), sew (I'd call myself halfway between an advanced beginner & intermediate seamstress), make felt, and am learning to tat and weave.
