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.

Oh how I LOVE to KNIT. I have made tote bags and have sold them to some girls where I work. I had a friend from work that wanted a hat made. So I made her a hat for her teenage daughter for Christmas. I have made lots of baby blankets crochet. I just can't sit down with out having something else to do besides watch tv. I have a facebook page called BIT BY BIT KNIT. It has pictures of a few of the bags I have done.
Everyone has a talent of some sort. I just like to knit.

I'm quite embarrassed to say this but I didn't even know knitting and crochet were two different things
 But I'm clueless in all the arts and craft department.

I have books that teach knitting and crocheting that I got from Mom. She didn't really need them, but used them as a refresher. I love all the crocheted doilies Mom made and I have a drawer full of them, small ones and some are quite large. Even dresser runners. They are beautiful. I have a few out now, but once I get the house totally cleaned I want to put even more out.
Sometime, I hope to get the books out and see if I can teach myself. I don't know of any classes being taught, but will keep my eyes and ears open. That would be fun.
