Crochet
Miss Mia:
I do some crochet, hats and scarves mostly. I don't do anything too fancy on the scarves just a double stitch and the hat is a cute pattern I found for a "skull cap" type of hat.
I haven't been to adventurous. I tried starting a blanket once but I started out making it waaay too long so it would have taken me forever to finish so I just gave up. That's pretty much why I stick with scarves. LOL
Anyone else here crochet?

Is it anything like knitting? Or needlepoint? My wife does needlepoint.

Is that where one uses those miniature poles with a hook at the end, or a sort of a hook?
My mother used to do that.
And so did Edward VIII of England.
Alas, I have no samples of her handiwork.
I do however have some sort of "baby blanket" that was made for me before I was born, by an ancient Lithuanian woman, a refugee, that took her months and months to make. Some sort of really intricate needlework. It's mostly yellow. I have no idea what this sort of thing is called, but it's not quilting, it's not crocheting, it's not sewing.

A couple of months ago, I took a beginner's crochet class at JoAnn's Craft Stores. It was two nights for a total of four hours. The class was small so there was lots of personal attention. That was good because I needed it!
I made a nice scarf, almond colored with a maroon edging. I won't wear it much since I live in Phoenix. LOL. But at least it turned out nice.
I haven't picked up a crochet hook since. If I don't have someone standing over me, guiding me, I think I'm forever lost.
I should try and do something small again just to keep the skill fresh in my mind.

I wonder if that is tatting?
I crochet some. I've done quite a few baby blankets and Christmas stockings.
