Mostly cooking, at this point, which isn't really crafting, per se. I do needlepoint & embroidery (both freestyle & cross-stitch) when I'm moved to do so; I enjoy making coasters & "round tuits" from plastic canvas.
I've bought some yarn & a crochet hook/knitting needles. I can chain stitch in crochet, but nothing else. (I learned chain stitch when I was 6 or so & that's the one thing I've never forgotten.) I used to know how to knit (barely) but I've tried it again from the book that came with the kit, but casting on isn't making any sense to me & I got frustrated. ;)
I'd like to figure out the knitting or crocheting thing; I think it would be nice to have something to keep my hands busy while I watch tv that doesn't require quite the same sort of concentration of needlepoint.
