knitting
My 31 year old daughter announced a couple of weeks ago that she was going to take knitting lessons - could have knocked me over with a feather!
She did and now is madly knitting scarves - I'm sure we will all have one for Christmas  She will go back to class soon and learn some new stitches and start learning how to follow a pattern. I've never wanted to know how to knit - but would like to know how to crochet. I've just never taken the time to learn.

It's a big thing now among young women. We had a knitting club at the school I worked in. There are such interesting yarns out now.
I'm with you though, Gina. I never did like knitting. Crocheting is nice, but for the life of me, I can't think of one thing anybody would want if I took it up. Embroidery and needlepoint are also nice. Very relaxing. Not that I do it anymore. I don't have the patience. Actually, needlepoint is a very good thing to do when going through a divorce. Poking that needle in and out, in and out, is very cathartic!

I think that it's great that your daughter is taking up knitting!!! I love to see people interested in crafts and stuff. You'll probably get some wonderful gifts from her too!! How cool!!!
I've knitted and crocheted a little, not much. Counted cross-stitch was what I really got into. I have many pictures hanging on the walls that I made. I have a pattern set out to made a wedding picture for Dae Lynn and Damon but I just can't seem to pick it up and get it done.

I can crochet a bit, but I've never knitted. I'd love to learn though. You'll have to post photos of one of her finished products!

I have never learned to crochet but my grandma taught me how to knit when I was younger. Not sure if I could still do it though! A few girls at my office have started a "stitch'n'b*tch" group where they meet up to knit together, but I haven't gotten into that either. When I was about 10 years old I started up cross-stitching and did that for quite a few years. I loved it but just didn't have time for it anymore when I turned 15 and was playing sports and working and dating! Actually just last weekend I was thinking about it again after seeing the beautiful framed "Footprints" cross-stitch my friend did for the minister at their wedding.

My mother can do both, but prefers crocheting. I'm not really interested. I do like crafts...and have done quite a bit of the plastic canvas stuff, but just haven't had time for much of anything as far as crafts go. I would really like to sew some more doggie clothes, but it's just getting started that I'm having trouble with.
