Trying New Needle Arts

If a button pops off I can get it back again. That's it. That's all I can do, but it's something.

I know this isn't a guy's thread but still.

I can handle loose/random buttons.

can you please teach my husband how to do that??

I tried to teach myself how to knit from a book, and my stitches looked right but it was really hard, so I think I was doing something wrong. I managed to make a scarf for myself and for a family friend. I started on a scarf for my sister-in-law but then she had an affair and was no longer my sister-in-law so the half scarf sits in my craft basket unfinished (needles still attached).

I am working on a crosstitch christmas stocking for the baby. Hopefully it will be done by christmas!

Darn. I just read the latest Elm Creek Quilts book (I haven't read the rest) and now I really want to learn to quilt too. Like I have all this time to even finish all my crewel, hooked rug, and cross stitch projects! alum, I need to find a guild like the one in the book!

But...the 2 exchange students who are coming want to learn American crafts so we may all learn together and that's great.
