Alright, now that I am actually on a computer at the moment I will finish this. Let's see, I enjoy crochet and knitting at the moment. I suppose I could admit to cooking just a tad, well, when with my husband, not by myself. I learned how to crochet when I was four years old by my late mother. Now there was an impressive lady. She learned to crochet on thread, never even occurred to her that you could crochet yarn until she moved up to Alaska after graduating high school. I would crochet a bit here and there as I grew up, would go years without and then pick it up again. Since senior year in high school, though, I did it steadily until I learned to knit. I am a self taught knitter. The internet is a wonderful thing for that. Just had to google my problem or question and bam, there's the answer. I learned over the winter of 2009-2010. It was a hard winter for me. My mother had passed suddenly the spring of 2009, my husband and I bought a new home, our first, that fall, and my father was flaking out on me a bit. So I had time and a need to focus on something. I do know how to weave, cross-stitch, and embroider, I simply don't do them. Weaving because I don't have access to a floor loom, the type I like to do. Cross-stitch and embroidery because I find them a tad boring and I am focused on other things. Though I have not written them off completely, you can achieve some quite beautiful objects and art with these skills, so perhaps in time I will get to such things. In the future I plan to learn sewing. My mother quilted, in fact I was going to ask her to teach me the weekend before she passed. I chose not to, she had such a headache I thought I would ask later. Since her death I have kept her sewing machine and some of her other stuff, couldn't keep all of her quilting supplies and books and the like, she just had so much. I do feel that I could make some wonderful thing combining sewing, crochet, and knitting.
