Favorite Crafts

I really enjoy crafting and learning new techniques. I have taught myself all my crafts by reading about them, and then just by doing them, with some trial and error involved. There are a lot of crafts that I enjoy. Knitting is one of them. I love knitting, but I don't have much patience and I need instant gratification, so I stick to fairly small items: things for children, scarves, hats, etc. I have never ventured into the big items...but perhaps one day I will.

Same story with crocheting. I love it, but just stick to small things: some amigurumi, lip balm cozies, hats, scarves, etc.

Very recently I got some polymer clay, so I've been playing around with that. I'm still pretty much a beginner.

Sewing!!! I just love it. I love fabrics, needles, embroidery floss, thread in vibrant colors, books about sewing, magazines, patterns for babies and toddlers.
