I always feel like an "old lady". I'm only 21 but I love to crochet, knit, and use the loom. I just got my sewing machine ( that i'm super excited about) and now I'm learning to quilt. I know its not what a typical 21 year old does, but I love it. I create my own patterns and am even thinking of starting my own website with it. Does anyone else have a love for kitting? I love getting new ideas of things to make, so if you have some, please share.
I never learned to knit. But I do sew, Love it! I got my first machine at 21, but hand sewed a lot before then :)
I am 25 now.
I know how to crochet, but don't because I am stubborn, lol. I bought some yarn and stuff after I got married and was going to practice some and get better since I hadn't done it since I was maybe 10? DH saw what I was doing, picked up my hook and started crocheting! And he was better than me! I was mad and never tried again, lol!
I learned when i was younger too. My mom taught me to crochet when i was about 7. But after a year I didn't do it again until I was 20, then when I picked it up again, I taught myself to knit and loom as well. And it's funny that your dh was better at it than you lol.

Quoting sped985:No I don't think I have ever seen those. Do you have a picture of one?
Quoting Kayla-Kay:
Have you seen those adorable hats that have beards!!! My sister in law is making one for my son they are so awesome!!!!
I got my first sewing machine for Christmas but I havent used one since I was like 12 years old and I will be turning 34, so I have no actual clue to use it. I would love to learn to crochet and knit but my Mom, who crochets, says she doesnt know how to teach me since I am a lefty and she is a righty. I taught myself to be ambidextrous though but I dont have a lot of time for myself anymore though : /
My mom is a lefty and im a righty, when she taught me i learned left handed. so now i knit, crochet, and do everything else she taught me left handed, like sweeping, golfing, etc... but i found the easiest way to teach someone the oppisite handed is to sit across from the person and do what they do as if your looking in a mirror. I taught my sister this way because she is right handed.
