Joanj Registered: 01/14/12 Posts: 11	I used to knit when I was younger and about 2-3 years ago decided to give it a try again. I've made scarves and hats for the kids and grandkids and quite a few baby blankets, as well as hats and scarves for my husband any myself. Anybody else out there like to knit? _________________________ Joan's Boomer Living Blog - Health, Wealth & Happiness Tips for Boomers

I keep saying I need to get back to it, but with the turmoil in my life over the last couple of years, it wasn't high on my priority list! _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

Tatting ...? that is an art...somewhat like lace?but not.

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	Yes, Mountain Ash, like lace, but not, describes it completely! :-0 It is sort of like crocheting, but with a shuttle. I'm not sure I could remember how to do it now without some sort of instruction. My grandmother was an amazing needle artist. She's the one that taught me knitting, crocheting, crewel, embroidery, tapestry, and smocking. I was never very good at dressmaking or any other sort of sewing. I remember Mom trying to teach me to darn, with that mushroom - anyone else remember those? _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/
