Started knitting first time in 25 years. Never thought i would start again. Its so calming and zen. Never mind the outcome (at least for now, maybe later). Nice thread, you guys are so skilled and creative!

She’s finished 
Sending it off to London for my sister in law. I don’t currently have a project aside from attempting some crochet critters. Don’t know what to do with my hands

Time to shop for yarn! It’s half the fun. 
if you don’t have a crafting journal they can be super fun to plan projects in, too. I even break out the colored pencils sometimes!

That’s a great idea! I love the colour planning too. My daughter is bugging me to finally make her a blanket. I’ll have to get searching. Although I am keen on the idea of learning how to make something other than blankets.

Its beautiful 
I got sober a year ago. I saw a lady crocheting at a meeting. She said it would keep me sober.
I’m making her a shawl

There are some very creative people here and great projects. I cannot crochet but i’d like to learn. I do a lot of knitting as its a great distraction and stops me eating chocolate 
i knit some doggy blankets and i have knitted some baby blankets which i will give into a charity shop.

I did teach myself to knit using youtube about 5 years ago as a hope to help me stop smoking /drinking. It was a great distraction but never did get me to kick my addictions. I havent been knitting as much lately but do miss it and need to get back into it now that i am addiction free. It is a very relaxing activity and definitely a great way to keep your mind occupied especially if you find a hard pattern. I could never get the hang of crocheting but have a few hooks and will try again soon

Very cool…i love when yoy can wear what youve made. Socks to me are the trickiest- havent even attempted to make. I did make a pair of fingerless gloves…took forever but worth the effort

Thank you! 
I started a couple of years ago after quiting smoking.keep those hands busy 
For crochet you can look for a CAL a crochet along. Then you get tutorials (film) and parts of a pattern. That is how i learned crochet. You will end with a new addiction. One more blanket and more yarn
