My Name (how I wish to be known): Small Hobbit
Type(s) of Crafting that I’ve tried: cross stitch and knitting, have also done a bit of crochet, embroidery and quilting, bits of painting, drawing
I consider myself a Beginner, Intermediate, Master, or Other: Intermediate at cross stitch and knitting, Beginner otherwise
Crafting I’ve loved and/or loathed: I love both knitting and cross stitch and do both most days
Project I’m particularly proud of: I go to a monthly Dare to Dabble class locally and try out various crafts and I've always had a go, even if I wouldn't want to repeat the experience
Something I learned the hard way: That with a complicated cross stitch pattern it's vital to mark off the stitches done on the pattern as you go
Something I haven't done yet, but I'd like to try: Making felt decorations. I had planned to do some last year for Christmas, but didn't get my cards finished on time
Biggest crafting frustration(s): The number of times I miscount when cross stitching and have to unpick
Something else I'd like to share: I post a monthly crafting post on my journal. My latest, showing my current projects, is here

I adore the yarn you've chosen for your Spring Hat, and the amount of work to do the Klimt is staggering - go you!

Thank you very much :)

That sounds like a wonderful activity. I encourage people to sample different things, like "dating" a craft to see if you want more.

We craft and chat and try something different without the major outlay of buying equipment and materials. And the charge for each class is very reasonable.

I love your cross-stitch and am enjoying the monthly posts :D
mark off the stitches done on the pattern as you go good advice!
Dare to Dabble sounds amazing!
