I quilt and crochet. Haven't learned to knit yet, though who knows. I had no interest in crocheting until a year ago, and I was surprised when I redirected my fabric obsession towards skeins of yarn. I tried sewing a top once (disaster).
Anywho, I find it very meditative. I have no clue why. Perhaps working with my hands slows down my mind. Anyone else out there with a closet full of fabric/yarn? Making quilts and or scarves for loved ones? Are you one of those super talented people who can make a really cool Halloween costume? Any projects you'd like to show off?
Anyone want to learn? *The only thing more fun than quilting/sewing/crocheting/knitting is getting someone else addicted.*
To further the obsession: :+

Wanna make a blankie for a child? We were once on the receiving end of one ~ to this day, I'm grateful. There's even a No-Sew pattern, requiring a scissors only (those are fun to make!):

Got a lot of yarn and no family members who appreciate handmade gifts? Chemo caps are a quick but greatly appreciated project:
