My collection could very well rival that of a small book shop. Sadly, my collection does not reflect my level of expertise with the needle.
I am a new knitter, and a fledgling crocheter....but I have high hopes that I will eventually become an expert at both.
Sewing? I still sew by hand, as I am scared of my machine. Or I should clarify that I have a machine that I just cannot figure out. My sewing machine was a castoff that I adopted. Okay, both my machines. I have rescued two, we'll just say, vintage machines.
The first is a 1950's Dial n Sew, complete with attached table. The second, my guess is from the 1970's. There was no manual with either and I cannot find the right one online. The local machine shop will teach me to operate it...for the cost of a tune-up...($100+) So I am beginning to think I should just buy a brand new machine....I imagine it would be a lot less complicated.
Cross Stitch is the only needlecraft I can comfortably say I do well. I learned in the 80's....when my mother and her sisters all did it. I have inherited their old patterns. My current project is revamping some into newer patterns. I mean, come on, you can only have so many Home Sweet Home samplers.
I ended up joining Facebook....honestly, aside from the Mister, who isn't on Facebook? (My mother even has an account...)
