I learned to tat from youtube. It was fun, but oh my, I sure did replay parts of the videos over and over and over trying to figure everything out, lol! The nice thing was that no one got irritated at me for asking them to show me so many times in a row.

You tube has helped me with lots of stuff!

i think Belle got lost in Youtube and never came back.

Maybe she stabbed herself in the forehead with a knitting needle.

Maybe she stayed up all night and got it done!

Maybe she's strangling poor Bully with what is supposed to be a scarf

i hope she comes back, with photos!

I'll admit it. I am an avid crochet freak. My grandmother taught me when I was 9 and I have never given it up. I am crocheting a blanket for Red as we speak. I use to love to work with the fine threads and make table runners and such but my eyes are to bad to see that well anymore.

I went through a knitting phase and I've gone upstate for the Sheep & Wool Festival at the Rhinebeck Fairgrounds too many times to count.

You see people knitting on the subway all the time, in winter. I feel calmer, watching them. It's like the fish tank in the doctor's office.

My grandmother crocheted and so did my sister who passed away. I don't know what happened to the bodark crochet needle my grandfather made. I think my mom has it.

Next reunion, there should be a crafts share!

I want to learn to do picot edge but i think i'm going to have to get lost on youtube for a while too! I've been considering getting a group of friends together on weekends to make soup and craft during the cold months. I think it's time to start planning that!

I knit on teh Subway and teh Buses, all the time ...
I really liked a saying I saw on a t shirt somewhere.. Be happy I knit, it keeps me from killing you

..I may have paraphrased quite a bit..But its true, knitting calms me.... a good thing in the midst of rush hour transportation

I can crochet a really long scarf and that's it...I use to know more, but I've forgotten. I have no idea how to knit. I plan on learning more, because I found that crocheting is a really good stress reliever and it's so nice to hand make make something beautiful for someone special.
