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.

I've done a little bit of both knitting and crocheting but I found out that I really liked cross-stitching. I haven't done much of it since I'm on the computer now. I also have done some scrapbooking but with the kids here I've given up getting any of that done.
I'm planning on getting some pictures framed and hung up. That's my craft for this month!!! |
