In high school, I taught myself how to knit.  The sweater turned out too big so I wore it later when I was pregnant.

I also taught myself how to crochet and made a couple of afghans.

I knit,crochet and sew.Love to knit.I am completely self taught in all.Had no one to show me how to do any of them.So everything I know came from library books and trial and error.I taught myself at 15 and that was about 37 years ago.

I do!  I knit, crochet, cross stitch, embroidery and quilt in addition to patching my husband's pants!
Have a wonderful day!

I crochet, and had a sewing machine so I have sewn too.  My daughter was jumping up and down on her bed and killed my sewing machine when she was younger.  My aunts sew on machines now. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow: :rose:

i have a doll collection, and i love to make doll clothes, and over the last 2 decades i have made 5 quilts to give away as presents and i kept one for myself.  my grandmother taught me to crochet when i was 5, and i taught myself how to sew.  there are sewing centers and quilt shops that offer beginner classes at a reasonable price.  making things is a very rewarding activity :thumbsup:

i used to sew everything because 20 years ago you could make it for less and nowadays you can buy it for less.  It costs more to buy the pattern, fabric, thread, interfacing, lining. buttons, zippers etc.than to get something on sale.  So now I wouldn't dream of it . It costs so much more to sew than to go out to a final clearance sale and buy good clothes from 3 to 5 dollars.

I knit and crochet I have made blankets, sweaters, hats and scarfs. As far as sewing I can hand sew but the machine and I don't get along.

I knit and sew but am not extra fond of doing either one. I do it because sometimes it's necessary at times to keep things up.
