[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 436934, member: 84"] Not sure I understand about the crochet hook thing. You're safe now days, you can buy plastic ones and the medal ones have blunted tips for the most part. lol I do have several antique ones that are awfully cool. I can knit only a very beginner level. I've done it on and off since easy child was a baby. But I can't get comfortable with it. And mother in law is no longer around for me to go to when I'm lost with it. Crochet I've done since preschool and I don't even think about it much. I just mostly do. Except for this last pattern that somehow half the sweater instructions didn't get put in.......now that was interesting, and frustrating. lol Hate it when they don't catch those. Sewing........ehh, not so good at. I break machines. mother in law's ancient model is so far the only one I've NOT broken. Although since the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) I'm literally scared to attempt to use it. (dunno why but I am) By hand.....I can do ok I suppose but I tend to knot up the thread which grates on my nerves. Guess I don't have the patience for it. Cross stitch made me cross eyed. I tried really hard at it. I made one project for mother in law for xmas. She swore it came out wonderfully. I wasn't so impressed. Which is why it was ONE project. lol I used to do beadwork. I was good at it, very. I loved it. But I don't think with my eyesight I could do it now. So that's out. Which is sort of sad as I'd been playing with an idea for years of "painting" with beads on canvas once my kids were grown. And now I can't see well enough to do it. ugh Oh well. When I was very very little I used to make crocheted lace with those teeny weeny crochet hooks.........now that was cool. Would LOVE to do that again.....but again with the eyesight. phht. [/QUOTE]
