I love to sew, cross-stitch, embroider, and crochet. But if I had to pick just one, I'd pick crochet. It's easy to pick up and put away; you don't have to have a craft room or studio, just a comfy place to sit and stitch :) And I like that I can make anything with just a hook and yarn. I can make hats, scarves, socks, dresses, sweaters, blankets, etc. As much as I love handwork, it's really only good for embellishing As for sewing, I don't sew clothes (much), just quilts and the occasional pillow. It is handy to have a machine for mending, but without a dedicated space (which I do not have), it's a pain to pull out. Is it any wonder why I have so many unfinished projects?
Anyway, I love crochet. I also love to thrift, and whenever I come across an afghan I count my lucky stars and head to the register. I appreciate all the yarn (money) and time put into it, so I consider five bucks more than a bargain! I found this lovely afghan and have loved having it on my bed. I recently discovered a few places where the yarn was starting to unravel. Mending this did not involve hefting a heavy machine. It involved me sitting on my bed, with a hook in hand and a blanket on my lap. And that, my friends, is bliss.
What's your favorite way to stitch?
