Wow, I have been traveling today and this thread has gotten away from me...

MPJ -- come on over!

MPJ, Dusty, Katja, Carole, Steph, Kate, and Laura (ch) -- I am in awe of anyone who can sew. I have never been able to get the hang of fabric as opposed to paper (glue and tape requires so much less precision than thread!)

MPJ, BJ, KG, stringy, Lynne, Ljubica, Khris, and Kate -- I can knit, just barely, and love it for its portability, but I never learned to fix mistakes. If I mess up, I have to pull it apart and back up, and that's annoying. Must take a real class one day.

BJ and Colleen -- you each get a Uniqueness award for mastering pottery and candlemaking!

Steph, Marlene, bella, and banana -- jewelry-making is fab and the designs you've shown are just beautiful.

Angie -- cooking definitely counts!

Louise, Shana, rute, and Marianna -- I would not have thought I was "crafty" either, until I found the thing I really enjoyed and started teaching classes. Never say never...

Debora and Joy -- I do love my space, after years of working in my unfinished basement with the spiders and waterbugs...

I'm adding RandomThoughts to the Uniqueness awards: metalsmithing, now that's impressive! And Kristen, I am trying to convince SO that if he rekindled his interest in photography, we could combine that with my bookbinding and do some interesting shared projects.

April-That is am amazing work space.

I am crafting impaired and only cook because I hate take out everyday. I admire those who can do one or both of these.

a hairstylist i know paints together with her husband. they work on a joint canvas as a way to unwind and build togetherness. photog and bookbinding could yield impressive collaborative results.

ps: if i can learn from youtube videos (including correcting stitches without unraveling) you can too!

April- this is the most common thing among new knitters. Next time, save your work as soon as you make a mistake and take it to a specialty yarn shop- they should be able to show you what you did wrong and how to fix it.

I was a knitter for many years, but had to give it up due to rsi. I missed it like crazy (and sometimes still do), but have replaced it with sewing. I can't wait for school to be over so I have time for sewing again. I'm having trouble finding fall layering tops, so that's at the top of my sewing list.

If my decorating skills were better, I'd also call my baking a crafty hobby.

In a universe with endless time, I'd love to pick up a letterpress and block printing hobby.
