Type(s) of Crafting that I’ve tried: Sewing, candle making, jewelry making/bead-work, scrapbooking, kitting, crochet, drop spinning, quilting, painting, card making, book binding
I consider myself a Beginner, Intermediate, Master, or Other: I think I'm intermediate - journeyman. You need a LOT of experience to be a master of something.
Crafting I’ve loved and/or loathed: Loved: I used to get together with a couple of my best girlfriends for a weekend and we would do beading and jewelry making together. It was so much fun. Very best times, doing a fun thing I loved with people I loved. Loathed: When I was a kid, my mom got me this latch rug kit. I HATED it. I'm too impatient to do any craft that doesn't give me a fairly immediate ROI.
Project I’m particularly proud of: I really love the wrap I made last winter. I bought this delicious malabrigo washted yarn in Cereza and Poción because when I saw the colours, I just knew they would go together and be amazing.
Something I learned the hard way: Do not weave in the ends too early. Especially if you are not sure you're happy with a project and might decide to frog part of it, or throw it completely back into the pond. Because OI. I'm way too good at weaving in ends and WHAT A PAIN to frog something when you do that.
Something I haven't done yet, but I'd like to try: I am trying really hard to NOT get sucked into anything new.
Biggest crafting frustration(s): Not enough time to do everything I want to do. If I did have the time, I'd complain I don't have the space. If I did, well, everything is so darn expensive. I guess not having enough time could sorta be a blessing in disguise...
Something else I'd like to share: I have expressed this to my children but they do not agree. I have found that acquiring yard is really as separate hobby/interest from making something with said yarn. Does anyone else find this to be so?
