Neither but always thought about learning. :)
All I can do is a very little sewing, like fixing little holes in clothes and things like that, but I don't think that counts. I do it really badly,, anyways :p
I'd lov to learn how to knit, though, it must be fun to make your own scarves :D
I am told this book is really awesome, and since knitting is VERY easy maybe you can give it a go!Quote:

It is a blast to make your own stuff and to make things for those we love!
I used to cross-stitch, but I haven't in a long time. And, I know how to knit!
*bump*
I crochet and play around with cross stitching.
I JUST learned to crochet a few weeks ago. I will post the blanket I am making when I get a picture.
Cant wait to see it!
I knit Snuggles for homeless cats in shelters, and if anyone is interested in doing the same for cats, dogs, or any other critters PLEASE go to www.h4ha.org or more specifically www.snugglesproject.org for more information on approximate sizes, which shelters are currently in need, and how to donate your handiwork.
Expertise is not necessary; I straight-knit because I am not advanced enough to follow patterns or get too fancy, and it doesn't matter. The only criteria is that the Snuggle will offer some comfort and security to the forlorn critters awaiting adoption in those cold, stainless steel prisons. Of course, these poor babies are not particular about aesthetics, so missing a few stitches or using mismatched yarn is unimportant. Just make sure the medium you use is machine washable. If you sew or quilt, blankets are accepted as well. I posted many years ago about the efforts of this worthy organization, and when I noticed this thread I felt it appropriate to mention the Snuggles Project again. Perfect for the beginner to practice, and then mail off the piece to where a homeless animal will gratefully appreciate it! :)
The only thing I have sewed was Zoey's toys and my socks. They were not pretty. :p
Here are some pictures of things Ive done the quilt I made for my son, still have to finish the one for my daughter, I cross stitched a family tree then sewed it in a quilt I made for him.

I knit, cross stitch, embroider and sew. As a matter of fact I'm going to the Stitches convention this weekend in Santa Clara, CA. It's a trade show for knitters/crocheter's. It's my first one and looks to be fun!
