I knit, but usually just dishcloths and scarves. But it's fun!

Sandra said...

I am not that talented to knit or crochet. I certainly those that can. I can quilt, though. It's quite a coincidence that I have been thinking about making a green quilt. SO, you are a part of the Women of the Bible. Good for you. I have been collecting the blocks but haven't even thought about making them. Love yours, though. Thank you for being a part of the SMS Giveaway Day and the chance to win.

Hello!
I can both crochet and knit, although I'm better crocheting.
Here's the last thing I've crocheted, which has taken me really long, but now I'm so proud of it:

What I really enjoy crocheting and knitting are baby hats :)

ThreadCatcher said...

I don't knit or crochet but I am intrigued with knitted socks so may give it a try in the future.

Unknown said...

I knit like a BANSHEE! Love to knit... I "can" crochet, but am a little awkward at holding the hook. I love sewing of all kinds - everything from quilting to curtains to pillows, to dog bed covers, cross stitching, plastic canvas, embroidery... started as a "necessity" and grew into a wonderful way to be creative... oh I also do beading (mostly peyote free form jewelry) and I love to cook. I will try most things once, and lots of things twice!
