If that is a necessity, it would be crewelwork, though don’t do much of that any longer. “Crafty” holds more interest than “fiber”. Hope this doesn’t lead to disqualification. :-)

“’Crafty’ holds more interest than ‘fiber’. Hope this doesn’t lead to disqualification. :-)”

Not at all! Like we said in the intro, it’s impossible to hi-jack this thread because even if we do like to knit, sew or crochet or weave, there’s always something new to learn or a new venue to try.

Once we get our new pole barn built, I’m getting a corner for raising Angora Rabbits to spin their fur. I’ve always wanted them, and Beau has a tendency to indulge me and make my Dreams Come True, so that’s one new ‘crafy’ thing in the future for me.

I’m pretty much over scrap-booking, though. And making my own greeting cards, LOL! I’ll let others make them and I’ll buy them. ;)

We should also consider links to other favorite craft/crochet/knit/fabric sites. There are so many cool and creative things going on in this world. :)

For example, I learned to sew some pretty terrific things through the tutorials at:

https://www.sewmamasew.com/

I can sew straight lines and make tote bags and curtains and pillowcases, but I haven’t made pleated smock tops or widened my bell-bottom bluejeans since 4-H back in the late 60’s! ;)

I do NOT understand why bell bottoms are not back in style again! All sorts of other ‘retro’ styles are plastered all over the place these days. Why does everything have to be ‘skinny?’ *SMIRK*
