Title: Crocheters and Knitters Favorite Stitches
Post by: gtdoss on February 12, 2020, 04:24:40 pm
I've been on a crocheting bug recently. I've made a couple of little blankets and pillow covers and stuff like that. It's hard for me to be excited about crochet unless I've got a fun and creative stitch to work with.  I'm also interested in taking up knitting again, which I haven't done in 40 years!

Does anyone here have a favorite crochet or knitting stitch that they'd like to share?   :peace: :heart:

Also, if you have someone you follow on YouTube that has a creative stitch channel, I'd love to hear about them as well!

Wow, I haven't done that type of work in a long time.  I enjoyed lots of different type of stitches and have made things like bedspreads and table clothes and even dresses and skirts.  It is an awesome way to keep the brain active and my hands from reaching for something to eat.
