I knit but mainly small items (too warm here for sweaters and jumpers!) and I love to quilt! Love your English paper piecing - terrific looking! Love your choice of colours!
OOOopps forgot I am following on bloglovin
What lovely fabrics you are giving away Wendy. I'd love to win them ;)! I can knit and also crochet but it's not something I do often. It seems that both knitting and crocheting have become very popular again lately.
I can crochet and knit but don't do it much anymore-now I'm quilting! Just took a class and got hooked.
I have better crochet skills than knitting skills, but can do both. Love your colorful hexies! I once crocheted a hexie afghan. Last year I paper pieced a hexie quilt.
ps....I follow you via my blog reading list.
I can crochet and knit but i don't really enjoy knitting. I like to crochet blankets, scarves and amigurumi
I'm an old follower
I can do all kind of things with wool, for example crocheting, knitting and felting. My last project were amigurumi crochet snails for my daughters. But I do also hats, baskets etc. in crocheting and pullovers, socks etc. in knitting.
I don't crochet or knit, always wanted to learn.

Hi I can justjust knit, knitted a little jersey for my baby ( now 20 yrs old) and crochet 2 blankets years ago, but quilting is definitely my preference ! Love your basket with such interesting quilting!
I can knit, but I don't knit I find it too slow
Hi Wendy, I love your Women of the Bible quilt! I've been getting the patterns but have just been stockpiling them. One of these days I'll tackle it. Before I started quilting a few years ago, I was an avid knitter, making mostly baby clothes, socks, and outerwear. Now we live in Florida and I don't knit very often because it's just too warm.
I used to crochet blankets but I can't now because of RA... but I took up quilting and would love to win your offer!
I can't knit for my life, but I do crochet. It is not my most favourite pasttime in the world, althought I do a load of different crafts, but when I crochet then it's mostly smaller things. The last project was a pincushion for a swap that I made different crochet flowers for :)
Many thanks for your giveaway!
Ooh, good timing on the fabrics in your giveaway......I'm currently collecting fabrics of turquoise, blue and lime green to go with low-volume black and white and grey prints.
Please enter me !
I like to knit socks, and started a new pair of plain ones this week, letting the variagated yarn do all the work.
I don't knit but I've recently learnt to crochet and I'm loving it. So far I've made a scarf each for me and my husband and I'm currently working on 2 blankets. I didn't realise blankets would take sooooo long. :)
I know how to knit but only the basics. I have done scarves and a few hats. Not too much tho. I greatly prefer to sew. Thanks Wendy!

Nope, can't crochet or knit. The only thing I've successfully done with yarn was to cover a cardboard letter with it for my nephew. I used variegated yarn and it looked so awesome!
I knit and crochet.. I just finished making my grandma a hot water bottle cover. I've made all kind of things though, from sweaters to blankets. :)
I crochet, but haven't done any in a long time. I can't knit to save my life.
I took about 5 years to knit a scarf for my mom and then gave up! I've been thinking of starting up crocheting, though, and that beautiful wool made me wish that I did one of them!
I can crochet and can sort of knit. However, they are not something I do with any regularity. I much prefer to sew. I have made a scarf and a few hats crocheting though.

I tried to knit, but I never Made it past the basics
In my teens and twenties I knitted and did crochet and made many nice woollen garments. Unfortunately I have not picked up knitting needles for a long time. I currently have too many other crafts to do!
Love your fabric choices for the giveaway. I enjoy following you with Bloglovin and Instagram.

Hi Wendy: I've been following on BlogLovin since the last giveaway and love your work.
I can knit and crochet but do less and less as quilt more and more. So much to do and so little time. Pretty much stick to hats and scarves now.
I know how to crochet, knit, do tatting, etc., but quilting takes most of my time these days.
I can knit a little, can't crochet. I embroider and do cross stitch as well as quilting.

I am in awe of your talent! I knit and crochet, usually blankets. Unfortunately I've been having wrist pain so just sewing now.
I have never been able to knit successfully but love knitted socks so much, I worked out how to slip stitch crochet a sock that's just as lovely without all the "knottiness" of a crocheted sock. I also crochet tshirt yarn rugs and wool rugs. I also once crocheted a huge filet crochet curtain for a big hippie house window.
I knit, and I prefer smaller projects that I can finish quickly. Cowls, hats, socks.
I like to crochet. Afghans and doilies are my favorite to make, but I've also made scarves, hats and doll cloths also.

Honestly I oly knit hats these days.

Cwoosley12@yahoo.com
I knit--mostly bags and socks, and my 12yo daughter has taught me the basics of crochet--she learned to knit when she was 6, but got hooked on crochet last year.
I used to knit but not so much anymore. I have two sweaters that are almost finished (at least 10 years old), just need to be sewed. I used to make sweaters, cardigan and scarves for children and myself. I also crochet but not as much, I made shawls and dishcloths and I would love to make a ripple quilt this summer... :-))
Quilting has taken over!

I crochet. I usually make granny squares, but sometimes I make other things, like bookmarks.
I sew (teddies and other small projects), like embrodery, can crochet and knit (wow! :))))))
But I like small projects in everything - couse I have no special room where I can use a lot of space to create :).
I have a very rudimentary knowledge of knitting and crochet. I've made a couple scarfs and some granny squares. Someday I might even try joining those squares into a blanket! Lol. Thanks for the chance to win!

I can't really do anything with yarn. I let my mum and sister do it for me.
I can knit, but I tend to get distracted and forget where I am in a pattern, so I stick to simple things (scarves, hats) and don't do it often anymore.

I did a little knitting, but it has been... hmm 20 years? Wow I feel old now. I never really made anything, just learned the basics. I am a quilter these days.
I crochet and knit, but crochet is easier and faster for me. I make afghans, hats for women undergoing chemo and friends and family, scarves, and garments. Right now I'm trying to get my arthritic fingers to carry out a knitted lace patterned scarf using lace weight wool!

Tried knitting a long time ago, but I didn't keep up with it.
Not really, I have crocheted some washclothes
I used to knit jumpers, Fairaisle, Aran, Double cables etc. Unfortunately toomuch computer work left me with RSI and knitting aggravates it. Now quilting takes up all my spare time!

I tried knitting last year w/my aunt and I just didn't have enough time to dedicate to it. I'll try again in a few yrs. I want to try crocheting too as I have many afghans from my grandma.
Never knitted, but I used to crochet. I made afghans, baby sweaters and hats. I keep thinking to pick it up again..might now that I have a 9 year old grand daughter that might want to learn!

I can do both, although my knitting isn't the most even. I did a lot more of it when I was moving frequently and didn't have a sewing machine.
I can both crochet and knit bit I prefer to crochet. It's faster and easier. I learnt to knit from my grandma. I used to crochet doilies (when I had the time and patience to finish them, premarital times lol). These days I'd usually crochet little things like puppets, flowers (to use as accessories for hair pins and clothes), and I sometimes do headbands.
I cannot. I know I could learn, but I prefer handquilting with my time for that kind of thing!
I am a quilter of 25 years, thanks for the chance to win such pretty fabric.
