Re: Crochet or knitting anyone,
I have just got my knitting needles out after many years. I recently had a gr-granddaughter and am expecting another one at any moment, so this has given me the incentive.This was my first soft cuddly that I made and of course have to do everything in 2's.
I am also teaching myself to crochet so must find a use for the usual starters granny squares.

I bought some wool and needles a couple of year's ago to make a cat blanket but everything is still in the ottoman.
Would love to be able to cross - stitch like George. Again I bought a very small square to have a go, many year's ago, but it went in the bin when we moved without even starting it.

Re: Crochet or knitting anyone,
First of all, no I can't knit or crochet. Well, when I say I can't knit, I tell a little lie. Many years ago I knitted a matinee jacket for my little nephew, a silly long scarf, and a yellow and brown tea cosy. Was chuffed with myself for following two patterns (the scarf was easy).Over the years I've kept some wool and the needles and think to myself I would do some more but I much prefer reading, if I'm honest! I also bought some crochet needles but never started that either. Or did it? Doubting meself now.
Bought little cross stitch patterns but never started them. We have a Hobbycraft near me and I love popping in to look at things but I'm lazy when it comes to actually making anything.
Oh, and I keep meaning to join two local U3A groups.

Re: Crochet or knitting anyone,
I used to knit a lot when younger and my kids had hand-knitted jumpers, cardigans etc. However, the next generation didn't want hand-knits. I have made a few things for myself but the last item I tried to knit I lost interest in so gave it up as a bad job.I enjoy cross stitch too, that's a beautiful sampler GW, I can see there's some work in that.

I was knitting a waistcoat for middle daughter using a vintage pattern but, it started at the shoulders and it put me right off, knitted upside down!
