Welcome to Quilting Sewing Knitting and Crocheting

[Abstract]

I made a quilt of a map of the united states once... The making of and designing of a quilt is a sometime complex process. Do you make quilts?

I know how to sew, and I do it well. I can use a sewing machine, sew things by hand and I can do a blind stitch. (blind stitch example: when you make a pillow there's always one part you can't sew inside out, like the rest of the pillow, you have to turn it to stuff the pillow... you would use a blind stitch to make that part of the seam look like the rest of the seams)

I can't knit, but I'm told it's easy to learn. I have some friends who make scarves in the winter.

Crocheting is very different than knitting, but they do have similarities. You can use both to make scarves! I can crochet, and I make scarves too. Right now I have four scarves in progress, but I'm running out of yarn.

Please, tell us all about your quilting/sewing/knitting/crocheting adventures!

I can knit. It is great fun.
I have many scarves. They make me happy!

ooh scarves...i like them...knitting is lots of fun.

I just bought more yarn yesterday. That makes it 6 scarves in progress. I need two different colors of yarn to finish two of them and the other four just need finished. I am a crazy crocheting fool.

since it being so hot and all...i haven't been knitting or wearing scarves for a long time.

[Abstract]

I haven't worn a scarf in quite awhile either, and I don't have any time to work on them, even if I wanted to. It's so hot lately that I've been having large breaks in between working on them.

I want to learn to make hats, then I would be able to make matching beanies to go with all my scarves.

Oh musicnote!! Do you remember the bright green and blue scarf I made? I found the same yarn at JoAnn Fabrics, so if you wanted more too, they had a whole bunch in the back of the store. I want to make a hat to go with my scarf.

I wish I could make a hat.
I don't even have time to knit right now though.
I can't wait for school to start..........lots of down time!

[Abstract]

I was at JoAnn Fabric's again yesterday and I got a sewing basket, that came with notions.

It's green and super nifty! Only $10, too! They had other colors, like yellow, pink, and blue and a darker green. If you sew at all, and you don't have a basket, this would be a good investment. I really like mine!

I have a basket, bag, stand thingy which holds all of my yard. Its overflowing, maybe because its not fully open because I have it squished inbetween my bed and my bookcase because I'm low on room space. This can be remedied.

Edit: It holds my yarn not my yard. My yard would have to find a very large bag.

Adding: I knit and tackle my mum's ancient sewing machine when I need to. I'm used to the new ones at the school. I have a quilt my great grandma made out of my great grandpa's old clothes but its kinda falling apart. I want to make a new one but I would have to buy fabric or wait till I get some clothes that I would be willing to cut up for patches. Alas I am poor at the moment and am quite attatched to my clothing.

i want grandma to make me a nice big compforter in the same pattern my tattered baby blanket is, but she is a litul bit crazy right now so i don't think i'd let her near anything that could possibly be a weapon...

NEWSFLAH: I tought myself to make hats. I have become awesome. You may now all praise me.

Sadly I spend too much money buying pretty yarn.
