My aunt gave me her sewing machine and told me I need to go take classes to learn how to sew.
Who has time? I found some tutorials online and followed them. If I couldn't figure something out, I looked it up on You Tube. I learned how to do a French Seam by watching You Tube!
When I showed my aunt my project she was so impressed and said "I told you the classes would be helpful."
Yeah, I didn't mention to her I took classes via You Tube! :o)
Here's the project if you want to see it.

Very cool bag, Tricia! Isn't it amazing what we can learn from You Tube? Who knew?
HA! Crocheting I'm quite adept at, but knitting? Oy vey, it kills me. Oh, I mastered knit and purl, but casting OFF and ON?
My cousin taught me to knit when I was in my late teens. I tried to make a shell (sleeveless sweater). All I could ever do was 1 half of the front. When it came time to cast on for the sleeve, I ruined it.
I threw that one out and tried again.
And again.
I ended up with 4 halves of the same front.
I gave up and threw away the knitting needles.
Oh yes, guitar chords for my son's electric guitar. Very cool.
We all know how I feel about crafting, so haven't found any tips for that.
Not sure about what's online, but last year I taught myself to crochet using a DVD that I found through my favorite craft catalogue.
Oh my goodness, Ane, that's hilarious! Those projects just aren't as easy as they look!
I'm excited about taking my lessons. If I can just knit nice hats for chemo patients, I'll be happy. That's what I thought I'd do with the crocheting, but then I found out they like knitted hats better because it's a closer weave. So we'll see if I can manage it. I'll keep you posted. *g*
Hi Diann. I just started crocheting again after...get this...more than twenty years. Twenty-six years ago I made my daughter's baby layette (actually 5 of them in all) and I'm talking the little booties, hats and sweaters. She also had tons of afghans. Then after she was born, I quit crocheting and didn't start again until last year. She's turning 26 in a week. Geez...time flies. I made about fifteen scarves last year and I'm just getting ready to tackle some hats this year. I love crocheting.
Now...about knitting, well, as adept as I am at crocheting, I am that unadept (hmmm is that a word?) at knitting. I just can't make two knitting needles work, yet the crochet hook just flies through the air and through the yarn like I've done it since birth. Weird - huh?
Let me know how you fare in your classes. I may have to try knitting again sometime in the future - as if I have any extra time to fill. :)
Don't do it!!!
It takes a crazed person to have the patience for knitting.
I'm pretty laid back, but I also have pulled out some knitted projects to salvage the yarn in a beautiful crocheted project.
Knitting takes too long for me, and in crocheting you don't have to worry about dropped stitches.
