I took up knitting in 2009, a little crochet. Then I learned to spin my own yarn, process raw fiber, dye, card batts etc. I have probably spun at least 12 lbs of fiber.

I took up knitting in 2009, a little crochet. Then I learned to spin my own yarn, process raw fiber, dye, card batts etc. I have probably spun at least 12 lbs of fiber. Gave away a lot of it, made 2 hats, done samplers for the guild swap. I have knitted 3 sweaters so far And knitted a dozen scarves ( out of regular yarn before I learned to spin).
I found Craftsy and was intrigued by the idea of quilting a wall hanging from a photo...which began a bit of a descent into quilting madness. So far I am only collecting supplies and watching classes. The quilting bug has finally left for a while at least.
I don't know why I started making jewelry but I suppose inheriting my brother's assortment of jewlery tools might have contributed. I've made a dozen earrings and a couple necklaces and have lots and lots of beads.
I also do micro macrame jewlry, back in the day when that was popular. I sold a lot of it but still wear a few pieces.
Like to sew clothing, since forever. Handy skill.
Love all crafts! Hoping to print fabric maybe.
Hoping to stick to my knitting a bit!
