Title: Do You Knit, Crochet, Quilt or do Needlework?
Post by: braggin on March 05, 2014, 12:07:06 pm: I used to crochet a lot when I was in my early twenties and then stopped for many years. Now that I am a Senior Citizen, I have taken up crocheting again plus a friend taught me how to knit, which is fun too. Now I meet with a group once a week to gab while we do handicrafts. It's a lot of fun and we make some really handy items too. Do you
do any handiwork?

I've been thinking about re-learning to crochet and maybe selling things on etsy or ebay.

I do make jewelry though! I'm not right now because I'm busy with school and work, but I enjoy making jewelry when I have some free time.

Post by: Dynamite2013 on March 05, 2014, 01:05:07 pm: I knit and crochet. I have made several items over the years. When my two 20 year old granddaughters were born I made them dresses. I have made blankets, shawls, hats and scarfs. Am presently working on a hat for my friend. I don't follow patterns because I don't understand what they say so I make up my own patterns. Years ago I used to do needlework but haven't done it recently or plan on doing it in the future.

I used to do a lot of different handiwork crafts. I have done multiple Counted Cross Stitch pictures, I've crotched a few afghans, I knitted a sweater (it didn't fit! ).....

Getting together to work on handicrafts sounds FUN!!
