I haven't been able to knit or crochet in a few years.

I kind of lost it when life got a little too busy. Does anyone have anything nice they've done?

I could use inspiration for something nice to force me to sit down in silence for a little bit.

I started crocheting again last year after i prayed for some inspiration to interest me. I can't see so good anymore to read patterns so i just made throws to my own designs. I used to be able to do really complicated stuff like dresses for my girls and 'Aran' type jumpers for my husband. I used to knit too and was quite good.

I hope you take it up again, some beautiful wool out there, I used to make knitted dolls, they had wool for hair, which I used to plait, small dolls they were, I would knit all types of clothes for them, every time I knitted one, either a family member or friend, wanted the doll.

I haven’t knitted in years ,am seriously thinking about taking it up again, I can only remember plain stitch, but, I can go onto YouTube and learn all those stitches again..

I have never crocheted..apparently it’s very easy?

We also have a wool shop near me, at one time they used to teach classes on how to knit...let us know if you start again, you could even start your own thread on crochet/ knitting, then we could all follow your progress on what you are knitting or crocheting.

Tell us what you have knitted or crocheted in the past?

I have never crocheted, is it easy?

Ps, I was told that many are taking up knitting/ crochet.....the wool has become more expensive though, compared to back in my day....the quality of wool and different wools these days are outstanding apparently.

I think that it's easy but I started with crochet. But it was three days of me messing up and staring at YouTube.

I have made some dolls, a cardigan, few hats for people. I'm cleaning out my drawers today and getting organized. If I find anything, I'll post it.

I bought a DVD player recently and have been ordering my favorite movies from eBay, Walmart, and Amazon.

I bought an ONN. model #100144581. It's been working okay so far, though I haven't had it long.
