For our crafters

@tinkertime A family friend that watched me when I was little tried to teach me to crochet and I could never do anything but chains either.

I've been trying to learn again recently but haven't really had much luck. So far my attempt to learn how to knit is going much better lol

@sammydog01 Thanks! It wasn't too Hard once I gor back in the rhythm of it, but I kept messing up my first try. I think Crochet is easier than Knitting. And yes I own something like 5 or 6 different kits they usually come with enough yard and materials to make two of the Patterns. I got most of mine at a local seasonal bookfair that had them at like 60% off but I have seen them at costco for 12-13$ so not too bad. Most of the directions look easy to follow. and it you have trouble there are TONS of pages on the Interwebs to help

@Pavlov Not sure if you are real.

@Barney I share those very same concerns. When the being that is dreaming me wakes up, I'm a goner.

@Pavlov I will miss you.

@Barney I love you too, @barney.

@Pavlov Aww... (purple blush)

@Barney

I have 5 pounds worth of purple Mike & Ike's. Interested in 17% of it?

@FroodyFrog Nope, I need a minimum of 18.625%. Sorry.

@Barney

Ehh. Your loss :P

@conandlibrarian THANKS! I bet you can do stuff I can't though ;)

@conandlibrarian I bet you could do stuff like that! Eventually.

@connorbush lol, that's why I clicked on this topic.

@phatmass I think I have a green pea pattern. Is that close enough?

@phatmass How to craft Green Bay Packers stuff:
1) Go to the supermarket
2) Find the Dairy section
3) Get the cheese made by Kraft
4) Smear liberally about the head and shoulders.

Done. Krafted GB stuff. You're welcome.

@madamehardy Any kit that was offered I would gladly purchase, no matter what the theme. Hey @snapster, @dave, @moose and @everyone else, any chance we could get some cool craft stuff?

@madamehardy I fully support this thought. I will support it with my dollar bills too, Meh.

@koalamoo @conandlibrarian @madamehardy @snapster, @dave, @moose and @everyone I also feel this way. Perfect for a 2-for-Tuesday too

@madamehardy Yes--great idea. Would be fun for post-holiday doldrums.

@metageist haven't decided yet, though some may end up in the hands of fellow Mehicans when certain events happen ;)

@metageist There is a group home up the street from me. If I was talented enough to do things like this, I would probably end up donating them.

@ConAndLibrarian I was going to say something like that. Donate them to a center for abused and neglected children.

@conandlibrarian that's what the doughnut is from only I paid $4.50

@Foxborn I totally just came here to ask you if that was the kit! It turned out really nice, and you got an amazing deal on it. I keep on buying books to crochet food, and then not doing it. It's becoming a problem.

@mossygreen me too though it's broader than food, It's all thing cute. You should see my piles of pattern books

@conandlibrarian I got that, too for my daughter then randomly got a boc.

@Foxborn I suspect I would quite enjoy seeing your piles of pattern books.

@cf1 I believe @registered may be able to answer a few embroidery machine questions

@cf1 I've used one a handful of times but probably can't offer any real advice

@stardate820926 Same here.

@ruouttaurmind They only count if send me one in Tardis Blue and Pinkie Pie Pink.

.
.

Did that make me a geek?

@Foxborn But Pinkie Pie is TWO colors of pink. Which pink is "Pinkie Pie Pink"?

Oh... uh... did knowing who Pinkie Pie is make me a geek?

@ruouttaurmind Which ever matches Tardis Blue. and there are many reasons to know who Pinkie Pie is. Like if you have Kids or know Kids. My excuse, I mean REASON is that I grew up with them in the 80's and still love 'em
