I enjoy any kind of hand craft I can (no pun intended) get my hands on. I started out doing embroidery. Really enjoyed this, but then moved on to crocheting. While in England, I learned to knit and have been knitting up a storm ever since. Recently I took up counted cross stitch. However, this takes a bit of time to learn, so I do it, but I don't know if it is a good as I want it to be. Oh well, I will get the hang of it. I also use my embroidery in conjunction with knitting to create patterns on knitted items. I then combine my crochet skills with my knitting skills to enhance borders and collars on knitted items.
I find my crafts relaxing and rewarding. Often I will take something with me to work on while I am at the movies or in meetings. I find it helps me concentrate more on what is going on, instead of thinking about what I could be working on if I were at home.
