I love knitting and crocheting between busy activites in my life. Waiting for a kettle to boil, knit a row. Watch some TV, work on the crocheted baby blanket. Busy hands make lovely products.
I like to make the basic hat with variation. I can add buttons or animal faces-popular with the little ones these days. Crocheted scarves go faster. Variety of colours on one hat makes it fun. And those little leftovers of wool can add a little flair to a row.
Many gifts have included my works and sometimes I am able to make a sale!
Hand work is also very therapeutic. It allows nervous energy to be channeled in a postive way. I am still teaching my little granddaughter to knit.
Do you like to do activites with your hands? Wood carving is fun. Painting. Crafts of any nature. What is your favourite?
I expect all your hand-made scarves and toques are welcomed by all of your family. Keeps you out of trouble, too ... :)
