Have you tried crocheting?

I remember trying it when I was in elementary school. But I would love to learn how to now. I think that it would be so much fun to learn. Maybe in the near future I will. I hope so.

I've tried it, but am quite bad at it. I did manage to crochet a blanket for nephew when he was born, but it literally took me 6 months.

My grandmother also taught me to crochet. My skill level is not that great, but there are online crochet courses, with illustrations, that can help with your technique. Just Google 'learning crochet' and see what comes up. There are also lots of free crochet patterns on the Internet - it's revived interest in crochet considerably.

It's a great skill to develop, because you don't need much in the way of equipment, and you can pick it up and put it down whenever you have a moment. That's not so easy with knitting - if you put it down in the middle of a row and can't get back to it for several hours, you may be able to see where you left off when the garment is finished.
