Whirlwind Day and a CONTEST!
Do you ever feel like you stepped onto an out-of-control merry-go-round? (Or yarn winder, if one were able to sit on a yarn winder….) That’s what this week has felt like. Busy, busy, busy. Maybe I just need to sit and chill and knit for awhile tonight. I’ve been working on my Cabled Rib Wrap and not working on my Charleston Tea (although I need to). I’m also ready to get another scarf on the loom. The purple one from last week is done. I’ll show it to you as soon as I wash and block it. I had fun working on it!
It’s time for our October Blog Contest, and I thought it would be fun to give away a skein from our newest indie dyer. I’m happy to say that we’re adding Fibernymph Dye Works to the shop. We’ll have Lisa’s beautiful semi-solids, striping yarns, and also her awesome roving. This line will be going up soon, but you have a chance to win a skein before it goes up! Leave a comment below and we’ll draw a winner next week. You can pick the color you’d like, from these five pictured. (Left to Right: Brigid’s Cloak, Autumn Harvest, Nothing But Blue Skies, Elphaba’s Corset, and An Air of Elsewhere.) The October Blog Question is: Do you have any other needle arts hobbies besides knitting? (Spinning? Weaving? Quilting? Counted Cross Stitch? Needlepoint? Rug Hooking?) To enter the drawing, leave your answer in the comments below. We’ll email you if we draw your name next week.

I don’t have any other needle hobbies besides knitting, but I do want to learn to crochet.

Someday I’d like to spin, but for now I just knit.
Elaina said,

I can only knit proficiently, but I dabble in crochet and sewing! Lovely yarn from Fibernymph Dye Works!
Kathy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:03 pm
I do have other needle hobbies. I do cross stitch, crochet and sewing.
Cecile said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:04 pm
Yeah for a new Indie dyer… I heard so many good things about Fibernymph Dye Works, that I can’t wait to try it! When I’m not knitting, I like to weave. I’ve got a rigid heddle loom and it’s a great tool to use up some of my out-of-control stash. It’s a fast and easy way to make beautiful scarves!
Allise said,

I used to needlepoint until I rediscovered knitting and there’s no going back. New yarn looks great!
Raelene said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:07 pm
I do crochet, scrapbooking and cross stitch but the others have faded into the night with my love for knitting growing over the last couple of years. I love the Elphaba’s corset colourway it is beautiful.
Vicki Heidy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:08 pm
Used to do cross stitch and needlepoint, but I just knit now. I really want to learn to weave and quilt, but I am making myself wait until retirement. The new yarn line looks beautiful!
Becky said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:12 pm
I used to do a lot of quilting but now it is all knitting – when I am not too busy with school!
Theresa said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:12 pm
Having just recently learning to spin, I am having a mad love affair with my (shared) wheel. I used to quilt, but I like the portability of knitting.
I’m super excited about more roving on the site!
Susan in Dayton Ohio said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:12 pm
My second favorite needlework hobby is quilting.
Cathy Little said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:14 pm
Needlepoint….a big project sitting in the “to do” pile. And, I am thinking about embroidery aging. There are some really pretty fabrics and projects new to the “sewing” scene!
CyndyC said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:18 pm
No, but my husband is convinced I’d love weaving.
DebrafromMD said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:18 pm
I quilt and do counted cross stitch too.

I have a spinning wheel, wish I had the time to spin more!

just knitting
Though that cricket loom of yours looks like fun!
Kara said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:22 pm
I did needlepoint when I was younger. Now I enjoyed knitting and spinning.
Heather said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:22 pm
Knitting is my constant hobby, but I crochet on occasion (especially afghans) and I used to sew a LOT (pretty much my whole summer wardrobe), but it has been a while since the sewing machine has seen daylight. I’ve done some other needle crafts, but not enough to classify them as a hobby – they were mostly one-offs….crewel, counted cross stitch on plastic canvas, rug hooking. I think that’s it – unless you count macrame in the 80s! LOL. Not really needlework, but fibre related.
Renee Frye said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:23 pm
I also like to spin and do a little embroidery, but knitting is my favorite!
Lori said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:23 pm
I also sew. Besides knitting, which I have become obsessed with over the past 4 years, I sew for a lot of my daughter’s theater plays. I am currently making a “Flounder” dress for “The Little Mermaid” on top of sewing all of our Halloween costumes this year. I just love to craft
Suzanne said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:24 pm
Knitting is what I do the most now, but some other needlecrafts are crochet and rug hooking which I sometimes do as well.
Melissa said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:24 pm
I’ve just began to sew on my new machine. I also spin a bit. Love knitting too much to cheat on it for too long.
Linda said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:24 pm
In one of my ‘previous lifetimes’, I have done counted cross stitch, needlepoint, weaving on a ‘weave-it’ square, and embroidery … in my current lifetime my quilting and knitting stashes have taken over my life. I suppose I have been knitting the longest … since age 7 (I think) and only learned to quilt from the church ladies when 31 year old DS was born.
Cindy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:24 pm
You and my friend Laura have got me itching to learn weaving. I have done counted cross stitch in the past. For now it’s all knitting, all the time! So glad you are carrying Fibernymph. Lisa is a Spring Fling friend of mine and I am so happy for you both!
Linda said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:24 pm
I quilt, spin, weave and cross stitch on occasion. Knitting usually wins right now because it’s more portable.
Marilyn said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:26 pm
I cross stitch and I am learning how to sew. Thanks for the chance to win!
Nancy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:26 pm
I used to do crewel and needlepoint, then counted cross stitch, lots of sewing, then smocking in a big way (sold smocked children’s clothes at craft fairs, etc and from our fabric shop). Quilted just enough to say I knew how. I know how to crochet but knitting has been my sole passion for the past 20 years.
Katie K said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:29 pm
I used to be a milliner during the dark ages. These days besides knitting I mend things with hand sewing. Today I rehemmed some pants and fixed an umbrella.
Cyndi said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:31 pm
I knit, spin and recently dusted off the sewing machine! I LOVE Fibernymph-Lisa has beautiful yarn & fiber!
DPUTiger said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:31 pm
I weave, quilt, and knit. And do the tiniest bit of crochet. Generally, I tend to be mostly a knitter, but since my mom died in August I haven’t knit a thing. I’ve done a decent amount of weaving and sewing, but no knitting. I’ll get back to it.
Lynn said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:33 pm
Besides knitting, I crochet, spin and needle felt small creatures out of roving. My twins love the little pumpkins I make for them this time of year and the bunnies I make for them in the spring.
lisa said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:34 pm
I learned to before crochet before knitting. Last year I started spinning. I’ve done 1 cross stitch project, and it was definitely not for beginners. It took me a year to finish, and I have no desire to ever do that again.
I haven’t used Fibernymph’s yarn, but her fiber is awesome!
Katie Lynn said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:34 pm
I sew and cross-stitch occasionally. Knitting remains the favorite of my hobbies.
Stephanie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:35 pm
This yarn looks scrumptious!
My only needle arts hobby is knitting; but I do plan to learn to crochet and spin in the future…but right now I am very passionate about knitting, in fact sometimes it’s hard to think of much else
Rachelle said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:36 pm
I spin, sew, quilt, crochet and occasionally cross stitch. I also want to learn to tat.
Camanoah said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:36 pm
Besides knitting, in the past I have done spinning, weaving, counted cross-stitch and needlepoint, with some embroidery thrown in.
pat facemire said,

I mostly knit, but started out with crocheting. I have a rigid heddle loom that I hope to learn how to use it.
Michelle Pierce said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:37 pm
I think like most people I have another needle art. I crochet, cross stitch, rug hook, knit and spin. And thanks to my mom I learned it all.
katiedo said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:38 pm
Quilting but haven’t had a quilt in the frame for quite a while just too much knitting to do!
Teresa said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:38 pm
Weaving but would love to get into spinning too. Work just gets in the way.
Vicki Chapel said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:39 pm
I am working on counted cross stitch ornaments for Christmas gifts and I also have a counted cross stitch table runner that I would like to get done for myself for the Christmas season. Love those colors of yarn!! One day, I would like to learn spinning also.
Carol said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:40 pm
Knitting is primary but I have lots of counted cross stitch that needs to be done. I’ve done a bit of quilting, have done a bit of crochet, and crewel Christmas stockings-but hard to find those kits any more.
Susan said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:42 pm
I have lately been getting into sewing and quilting but knitting will always be my first love!
Kathy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:43 pm
I used to do cross stitch and did a lot of sewing. Now I usually only sew when I need to mend something, knitting is my main needle work hobby. I have even dabbled in quilting and would like to do more.
Emily said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:46 pm
I used to do needlepoint and cross stitch years and years ago (and still have unfinished projects to show for it), but now it is just knitting. I would like to take up weaving, but it will have to wait until my kids are older and I have more of that mythical thing called “free time”.
Laura said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:46 pm
Oh dear, besides knitting and crocheting, I also spin, cross-stitch and quilt…
though everything has taken a bit of a backseat to knitting these days…
Kathie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:47 pm
Knitting is my only hobby – I did a large hook rug, but it took several years to finish – mainly because I didn’t work on it – and when it was finished in the late 80′s or early 90′s, the colors from the mid 70′s were out of style.
Linda Fleming said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:47 pm
I spin and weave. I also sew some and quilt occasionally.
Paulette said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:48 pm
Just learned how to crochet, used to do counted cross-stitch, do some quilting—-looks like beautiful yarn!! Can’t wait to come see it all in person in January–YAY!
Kiki said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:49 pm
That’s so exciting about Fibernymph! Her yarns are so gorgeous. I don’t have any other needle arts hobbies, although I know how to do a few of them. I just find knitting the most relaxing and enjoyable at the moment.
Erica said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:51 pm
I have done them all. I limit myself to spinning, weaving, knitting, and dyeing right now. I think quilting is the only one that didn’t stick–too much ironing.
Melissa said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:52 pm
I’m trying to teach myself quilting, but I get annoyed when it tals away Fromm knitting time.
Kathy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:54 pm
I grew up crocheting, but don’t do that anymore. I made one quilt and realized that I don’t like sewing anymore. But I do like knitting.
Stephanie K said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:56 pm
Knitting mostly with a chance of a shiny thing called a quilt or girls dress to sew. I also do some tiny bit of needlepoint cross stitch and crochet……need fewer kids so I can do more of all!!
Lisa said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:56 pm
I love Lisa’s yarn….great colors!!
Yes, I have lots of other needle art hobbies – knitting, crocheting, cross stitch, etc. I have yet to try needle felting though – could that be next??? Thanks for the chance to win!! 
Laura said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:57 pm
I knit mainly, but I just took my first weaving class two weeks ago…I loved it do much that I bought a loom! I also do lots of sewing (project bags and ice skating accessory bags) for clients.
Donna said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:58 pm
I seem to have alternated most of my life between knitting and cross stitch, but I have also done some rug hooking, weaving, and a little bit of needlepoint. I’ve been in knitting mode now for almost 10 years, so needless to say my cross stitch UFOs will probably always be just that, UFOs!
Nadya said,
October 10, 2012 @ 5:58 pm
I’ve enjoyed cross-stitch, and other types of embroidery, almost as long as I’ve been knitting. a Long time!
Marsha said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
I’m a serial crafter! Spinning, knitting, counted cross stitch, and quilting. Anything with yarn or thread and I’m there.
Melodie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
Oh I love them all but especially Elphaba’s Corset. I knit, quilt, spin and weave but not enough time to do them all so knitting gets most of my free time.
Mary said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
I crochet a little,have several unfinished needlepoint projects and a crosstitich that I started in 1974 ! I have been consumed by my knitting .
Lisa Loftis said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:03 pm
I’ve been crocheting on and off since I was a child. I quilt (hand), sew, cross stitch, and spin avidly, more so on my spindles than my wheel.
I’m excited to see Lisa’s yarns join the Loopy Ewe lineup-her talent is undeniable!
Andrea King said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:03 pm
Counted cross stitch. New yarns are VERY pretty!
Holly J said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:03 pm
I like to spin, crochet, and weave as well. Who knows what will be next?
NancyN said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:03 pm
I’ve done a lot of quilting and embroidery, a little weaving, attempted crochet (I haven’t given up), but now I mostly spin and knit.
Linda said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:04 pm
I used to do a lot if cross stitch but nowtell my life is almost always knitting.
MJ said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:05 pm
Besides knitting, I have a large stash of embroidery floss and cross-stitch designs to do, but it’s taken a backseat to my knitting lately. I also would like to get back into sewing and learn to weave and spin.
Davida said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:05 pm
I can do cross stitch. I would love to learn embroidery, how to spin, how to quilt….so many pretty projects to do. Sigh….as it is all that I can squee
Davida said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:07 pm
whoops! Yup, I’m tired. All I can find time for these days is knitting.
Rachel R. said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:10 pm
I frequently crochet and I can cross stitch, but haven’t in years! Also, I love that one of the colors is called Elphaba’s corset – I just read and saw Wicked, so it seems very appropriate!!
Staci J said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:10 pm
I used to cross stitch, but then I discovered knitting.
Sue P. said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:13 pm
I actually learned to crochet before I learned to knit but I find that knitting is easier on my hands. I do still crochet but not as much as I knit. I would love to win Elphaba’s Corset. What a beautiful color and I love the name! Wicked!
Page said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:13 pm
I used to cross stitch quite a lot and a tiny bit of needlepoint. Having to learn that more as my daughter just got a kit!

Leta said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
I do rug hooking, needle punch, crochet and crewel. Tried to learn quilting, but it just wasn’t for me. I also enjoy needle felting.
Kim K. said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
My list of needle arts continues to grow.
It started with knitting but has grown to include crocheting, spinning and probably soon, weaving. What can I say? I love all things fiber related.
Caroline said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
In addition to knitting, I also crochet, sew and embroider.

Kathie Wagner said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:19 pm
I also quilt and sew, mostly for my grandchildren.
Liz said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:20 pm
I have done some of everything, but I am learning weaving and loving it!
Emily said,

Nope, I’m strictly a knitter.
Kristi ~ Ohio said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:21 pm
Aside from knitting, I quilt, sew, and cross stitch. I tried my hand at spinning…not so good. I would like to get a Cricket though and learn to weave. Putting that on my wishlist. Although, my husband is saying no new hobbies until I sell the spinning wheel that is gathering dust. I really like Elphaba’s Corset.
Kim said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:21 pm
I’m an aspiring weaver, but for now other than knitting my only needle art is suturing! (I’m a student nurse midwife.)
Sarah said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:23 pm
I love knitting with such passion, but I am dying to learn quilting!
patricia said,

I used to embroider and sew. I dabble in crochet. Would like to revive all three.
karen said,

Mostly I just knit, but I also have a sock knitting machine, I’ve done quilting, spinning, sewing… Really all I have time for is knitting though.
Joyce said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:25 pm
No others at the moment….however I used to do embroidery and AGES ago I did some macrame.
Anne said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:25 pm
quilting! And another stash!
Sue K said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:29 pm
OMG…love love love those colors. It will be really hard to choose one if I win but somehow I’ll manage
. In addition to knitting, I also dabble in quilting.
Rachel said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:29 pm
I can crochet, but only if I have to. I would really like to learn how to spin and weave, but there is not enough time in the day. Thank you for this contest! I really enjoy Fibernymph Dyework yarns.

I crocheted for 30 years & was having intense pain in my thumb joints. I had never had any luck learning to knit. An acquaintance told me about the “European method” with the yarn held in the left hand. What a joy for a crocheter! I’ve been an avid knitter ever since.
Maureen said,

I used to cross stitch and quilt but now I mostly knit.
Naomi said,

Besides knitting I enjoy sewing and embroidery. I would love to learn to crochet and I think spinning looks very therapeutic but I don’t think I can afford another hobby.
Elianna Meyerson said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:32 pm
I mainly knit. I also piece (put together quilt tops), but I do not like quilting, and haven’t had my machine out in a while. In the past, I’ve made indian bead jewelry, and latch-hooked rugs, but haven’t done those in 15+ years.
Carolyn said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:33 pm
My first love is quilting but I’ve done many different needle arts over the year, including knitting, crochet, embroidery, crewelwork, cross stitch and needle point. I used to teach all of the needle arts when I worked in craft stores back in the day! Thanks for the giveaway!
Jackie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:35 pm
I’ve done some quilting before, but much prefer to knit!
Ana said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:35 pm
I mainly knit, crochet, do counted cross stitch, and spin, in that order, though I’ve done some rug hooking and needlepoint in the past.
Molly said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:36 pm
I also needlepoint, esp. belts. I like cross stitch, too, but don’t do it much. The new yarn looks beautiful!
Marita said,

I’m learning to sew…but I’m not very good!
Sheila said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:38 pm
In the past I’ve done a quite a bit of weaving, embroidery and sewing as well as a little spinning. I’ve recently been teaching myself crochet, which is fun, but mainly I’m a knitter.
Word Lily said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:39 pm
Oh yes. I also crochet, spin, dye, and I want to learn to weave. I got a table loom for Christmas last year, and I’ve had one lesson. Now if I can just find the time to warp it, I’ll be off and running!
Sheri said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:40 pm
I do a little spinning and quilting.
Shelley said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:40 pm
Oh, wow, what needlecraft haven’t I done? Got into rug hooking as a kid, did some cross stitch and needlepoint, went nuts for quilting in the 90s. Guess I’d better get on it and try spinning and weaving
.
Julie Rios said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:41 pm
I knit, spin, crochet and sew. I can do cross stitch, embroidery and needlepoint but there just is not enough time!

Knitting, quilting, cross stitch and sewing…so far. I’m itching to try my hand at weaving too!
Lilie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:48 pm
I also Spin, Counted Cross Stitch and would like to weave but that would require more room then I have right now. That might have to wait till we either build an addition or one of the girls moves out. LOL!
Karen said,

I’m a brand new spinner….and I’ve just ordered a new sewing machine ….and roving or that fabulous blue/purple combo?…Air of Elsewhere?…is gorgeous

a little spinning, a little quilting, a little cross stitch, a little crochet
Jenn said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:52 pm
I’m learning how to spin on a drop spindle, but it hasn’t reached what I’d consider hobby status. Other than that, knitting is pretty much my fiber/needle hobby.
Mary Beth said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:53 pm
All of the above. I’ve tried everything you mentioned, except spinning, and that’s getting tempting.
Amber said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:53 pm
I’d really like to get into quilting but haven’t found the time for it yet.
Julie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:54 pm
Knitting is my only needle arts activity, although someday I hope to learn to spin. When I’m not knitting, I’m reading, hiking or taking photographs.
Jeanne said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:56 pm
No. I tried counted cross stitch when I was younger, but I was too impatient when it came to change colors all of the time. That’s why I love knitting…you can make beautiful things with one continuous string!
Ellen said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:59 pm
Sewing is my “first love”, starting when I was about 8, over 50 years ago. But now I love to knit (it’s so portable, unlike a sewing machine!) and have done quilting, crochet, counted cross stitch, regular embroidery, rug hooking, and needlepoint. I think it might be a product of growing up in the 60′s and 70′s.
Kathleen Atwood said,
October 10, 2012 @ 6:59 pm
I used to crochet a lot in my teens and twenties, but once I learned to knit that is all I wanted to do. I also used to embroider.
Michelle Martino said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:01 pm
Knitting certainly takes up 90 percent of my time but I also do needlepoint, sew and just purchased my first drop spindle!!
Anna said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:01 pm
I’ve dabbled with a drop spindle and have decided to stick with knitting. I realized that I only have so much time and I want to be a great knitter instead of a doing several things so-so.
thanks for having a fun giveaway!
Amanda said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:01 pm
I embroider and do cross-stitch–but much more slowly than I knit!
Debbie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:04 pm
NEEDLEPOINT! It’s actually my #1. But, knitting is coming in a close second.
Kathy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:06 pm
Needlepoint, counted cross stitch, crewel, quilting, and not enough time for them all!!
that new yarn is spectacular, i love the elphaba’s corset colorway!
Maureen said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:09 pm
I have crocheted in the past. I have also hook rugged in the past.
I needlepoint and I cross stitch.
I prefer knitting over them all.
Karen said,

Besides knitting, which is my first love, I crochet, weave, and do a bit of sewing. I used to quilt, and do needlepoint, embroidery, crewel, and macrame back when I was a teenager. The bright orange plant hanger is still a vivid memory, as are the embroidered blue jeans! My mom taught me all of these crafts, she was amazing.

Besides knitting I cross stitch and needlepoint. Though lately I’m obsessed with knitting and revelry. The yarns are beautiful.
Carol said,

Besides knitting, I spin and crochet. Have crocheted and knitted since I was about 5 years old and learned to spin after college. I am especially interested in 19th century textile traditions and have done some projects that combine knitting and crochet. There is always something new to try and learn.

Stephanie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:15 pm
I’ve been a quilter for over twenty years and still have boxes of fabric stash mixed in with my newly growing yarn stash. I think it’s mainly an attraction to colors and the oh-so-many delicious ways to combine them, which both quilting and knitting fulfill in me. I also do a little embroidery, spinning and crochet, though knitting seems to have taken over in the past five years.
Hattie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:16 pm
I’ve done a little of everything. After knitting is usually crochet and spinning but I’ve also done embroidery and I just picked up some fabric the other day to make my daughter a quilt!
Sandra said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:16 pm
I was mostly doing counted cross stitch before I started knitting again. I also crochet, sew and do a little ceramics. Have done needlepoint, embroidery, and made a few latch hook rugs.

I crochet quite a bit, and I used to cross stitch a lot. I would love to take up weaving, but I haven’t given that a try yet. So much to do and so little time!
aliceq said,

Currently, I knit and spin. I have, in the past, gone through stages of intensive crocheting (and still have the afghans as evidence). When I was a lot younger, I sewed some of my own clothes (not very well) but, surprisingly, have little urge to quilt; weaving, on the other hand, strangely calls out to me.

Oooh that’s a pretty purple. Knitting is my only current needle art. But in the past I’ve tried cross-stitch, needlepoint, rug hooking, weaving, and crochet and I had a brief argument.

Robby said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:26 pm
I quilt, although that is done more with a ‘power needle’ than by hand when it happens at my house. Long ago, I did cross-stitch, but lost my enthusiasm for that over the years.
Sandy H. said,

Cross-stitch is my other addiction and I cast eager eyes upon quilting. Would definitely need to sell the house and increase space to hold fabric too!

Ummm….how about all of the above, at least at some time in my life?! I’ve been a total fiber junkie forever, although knitting is my primary activity now due to like of time and focus. My knitting is portable; my loom, wheel and quilting frame are not.
Leslie F said,
October 10, 2012 @ 7:36 pm
I was quilting when my Mother developed Alzheimer’s. It was easier for me to try knitting again…and the yarns had changed a lot since my Mother taught me to knit.
I am learning spinning. I still have a ton of fabric, and lots of counted cross stitch supplies.
I like Elphaba’s Corset…and would love to hear the story behind the name.

I only knit. I can do rudimentary crochet and sewing but knitting I love.
Because of that, I have little interest in other crafts.
Dull, I know, but any time I would spend on other stuff would be stolen from my knitting time.
Lois Yamada said,

Jeanne said,
October 10, 2012 @ 8:05 pm
I have done lots of stuff,needlepoint, macramé, embroidery, but I mainly knit and do some sewing (skirts & dresses for myself and my daughter). I recently acquired a loom, but need to learn how to use it – unfortunately I’m not near the Loopy headquarters. More knitting urn would be great!

I’ve been dying to try some of this yarn.
Cheryl said,
October 10, 2012 @ 8:09 pm
i Quilt, do counted cross stitch, and have crocheted on occasion. I have seriously thought about spinning and weaving but have come to the conclusion that I need another hobby like I need a hole in my head.
Love the colors of the new yarn. As usual you have found something else to tempt us. I am already thinking of things on my to knit list that would look fantastic in this yarn.
Windy said,

Welcome to Fibernymph! She has some lovely colours displayed there.
Doesn’t everyone share multiple hobbies? Knitting occupies most of my time, but I picked it up second. I started with counted cross stitch and still do it from time to time. Knitting is easier to travel with and easier when watching movies!

I do a little bit of everything. I knit, crochet, needlepoint, cross stitch, make temari, embroider, try to spin, have done weaving and quilting. Dabbled in crazy quilting, kumihimo braiding, silk ribbon embroidery, sewing, smocking, etc. If it uses a needle, I have probably tried it.

Krista said,

My “other craft” is quilting. In fact, it’s my main craft these days, and knitting is stealing time from it
However that doesn’t stop me from buying more yarn and planning more projects. And those lovely semi-solids would make a great project!
Susan said,
October 10, 2012 @ 8:52 pm
Oh yeah–besides knitting I spin, crochet a bit, weave a little, sew vintage clothing, embroider, used to needlepoint… If fiber is involved, I’m there!

Linda said,

I have been sewing since I was 6 years old. I crochet, do counted cross stitch and embroidery as well as knitting. A few years ago I decided that quilting couldn’t be that hard and now I’m almost as addicted to quilting as I am to knitting!

I always knit & crochet at the same time but when I’m on yarn sabbatical, I’m cross-stitching which has been my other passion for 25 years now, in particular reproduction samplers. I’ve never been able to do both passions at the same time though for some reason – it’s either knit/crochet OR cross-stitch, never both at the same time. I’ve been knitting and crocheting exclusively though for the last 2 years. I’ve felt so guilty abandoning my silk floss for yarn, but when I see another new yarn shipment posted on your blog I wonder if I will ever abandon my socks again…
Christy said,
October 10, 2012 @ 9:03 pm
When I was wee, I started out crocheting. From there I did a little cross stitching and some hand sewing. I really, really want to get into quilting, but I have a hard enough time finding time for my knitting right now, so I think quilting will have to wait a bit. Besides, I don’t want anything else to take away from my knit time!

October 10, 2012 @ 9:17 pm
I have tried most of the ones you have listed. I started out sewing, and then tried crochet and soon after that knitting. I have done some quilting and cross stitch and beading, but I always come back to knitting. I am officially addicted.

I started out spinning, which is what lead me to “relearn” to knit. I also like to do counted cross stitch, but don’t often find the time. And, I’ve got a nice rigid heddle loom, but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. I need more hours in the day!

Paula said,
October 10, 2012 @ 9:48 pm

Martina said,
October 10, 2012 @ 9:52 pm
They are all beautiful colorways, but Autumn Harvest makes my heart go pittypat… I’ve been doing needlework all my life, but only knitting since 2007. Earlier it was crewel embroidery, needlepoint, and sometimes cross stitch. My granny taught me how to do most of these things, but she was a great crocheter. When I picked up knitting in recent years, my hands would only knit the way she had taught me!
Dottie said,
October 10, 2012 @ 9:58 pm

I’ve knitted on and off for years, but it is my main craft since retiring. It’s so relaxing that I actually can fall asleep in the middle of a row. I did do a lot of sewing . Work clothes and for the boys when they were small. Now I would like to quilt. I’m starting off with tote bags. They’re fun to make. Don’t know if I’ll ever get to a big project.

I started crochet and knitting as a young girl, then embroidery, machine sewing (most of 2 daughter’s clothing), counted cross stitch, silk ribbon embroidery (love that), quilting (just fashion pillows), yarn hooking, punch needle & crewel embroidery, beading, jewelry making, tole painting and I surely left something out. At the moment I mostly knit and crochet, with a list for Christmas. I’ve tried tatting and needlepoint, would love to weave and spin with a spindle, even bought one in IND 2 yrs ago??? But I would love some new “special” yarn, color – An Air of Elsewhere (as you can see I spend a lot of time elsewhere). That is opposed to cleaning and cooking.
Thanks for the chance to win!
donna said,

Ooh, An Air of Elsewhere is pretty! I knit and crochet and spin (never did have the patience for needlepoint or cross stitch), and I’m planning to learn to weave in January. I already have projects all booked up for the rest of this year!
Tracy H said,
October 10, 2012 @ 11:18 pm

I do a bit of needlepoint, also wool cross-stitch pillow cases, a bit or origami, a bit of sewing, and a kind of tatting that i learned from my father’s 90 year old cousin in Finland (now passed away). I bought a dvd to learn how to crochet, that is my big challenge for this winter.

I began spinning several years ago and love it. And the past two Falls I’ve gathered walnuts and walnut leaves from the nearby park and experimented with natural dyeing. Embroidery, especially freeform, is another love.

When not knitting, I spin, sew, crochet and quilt. I have had passing thoughts about learning to weave. In the past I have also done cross-stitch, and crewel and regular embroidery.

Kathy said,

Wow, what beautiful colors, I hope I get to choose one. I knit, I have a Majacraft Rose on which I spin, I have a Kromski rigid heddle that I weave on, I do rug hooking, and I quilt. I grew up in house full of women who did needlework. My Mom always said, busy hands are happy hands.

That Autumn Harvest color is BEAUTIFUL – same colors my daughter in law had in her flowers and church flowers for their wedding just last Oct. 29th. Would love to make something for her and for me out of that (mother / daughter matching something)
. I also crochet. Would love to learn to spin and weave. I used to work with a woman years ago who was into weaving – she even made a skirt an matching vest and wore to work – was beautiful!
I make wall hanging quilts – both picture quilts and checkerboard quilts with wider borders (regulation game board size checkerboard in middle with borders – you can hang on the wall for decoration and then with my easy mounting – can take easily off the wall hanger to play checkers with (even color match the wood playing pieces – remember the sound of wood checkers clinking together

I crocheted when I was a little kid – first thing I remember doing. I took up knitting for a while in college then moved on to Crewel embroidery and from there needlepoint. I still have unfinished needlepoint projects hoping I’ll pick them up again. I started knitting again about 10 years ago and when I discovered Loopy and knitting blogs and Spring Fling, I was completely hooked.
The new yarn line looks beautiful.
Mary R said,
October 11, 2012 @ 5:22 am
In addition to knitting, I weave, spin, rug hook and do needlepoint. In the past I have also done quilting, sewing, embroidery and cross stitch, but there are only so many hours in the day. I also play the piano in my spare time! LOL.
Love those colors of the Fibernymph yarn!
Ruth Anne said,

For years counted cross stitch was my main hobby. Then I learned to knit, and for several years knitting was a secondary hobby. Somewhere along the line I dropped the cross stitch completely and became just a knitter! I also make cards, but knitting is my only needle hobby.

I used to do a lot of cross stitch in addition to knitting…but my eyes bother me now when I do that reallyreally detailed work, so I “just” knit now…altho the quilting supplies occasionally holler real loud…
Deb said,

I currently knit, sew, quilt, machine embroidery and just purchased a table loom. I am in the middle of my first piece on the loom. I also crochet, cross stitch and many years ago, loved to play with macramé! Knitting has been at the top of my list for several years…

I crochet maybe a bit more than I knit. I’ve done crewel, counted cross-stitch and needlepoint but I’m finding my eyes just don’t see like they used to. Come on, cataracts – maybe I’ll finally be able to see without glasses and magnifiers!

Alicia said,
October 11, 2012 @ 6:27 am
I weave and crochet a bit. Over the years, I’ve done needlepoint, counted cross-stitch and hardanger embroidery and kumihimo and silk ribbon embroidery, but those seldom happen any more. And I sew a bit.
Doreen said,
October 11, 2012 @ 6:31 am
I’m still a beginner level crocheter which is odd because I crocheted before I knit. I also have a Cricket and an Ashford Knitter’s Loom and I love to weave. I actually don’t even mind warping. I did counted crossstitch for many years but became kind of OCD with the counting so stopped. Everything was taking forever because I counted 10 times. I may try again and see if I’ve gotten over it. I tried quilting but was really bad at it but may give that another shot too.

Knitting is of course my first love and has been for more years than I care to admit. I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch, but that has fallen to the wayside. I still enjoy quilting and doing embroidery quilt blocks.
I really love the colors in the new yarn line!

Right now I mainly knit. I just got a beautiful spinning wheel which I am still trying to learn! I crocheted for years before knitting, was obsessed with cross stitch and learned tatting before I went back to work. I need to get my tatting back out, but have no desire to cross stitch. It’s too hard on my eyes. Thanks for the great service and this beautiful yarn line!!

I used to do counted cross stitch, when my eyes were better. There is a counted cross stitch project I saw in Piecework a couple of years ago, that I want to try. I’ve got all the materials, and I meant to start it, if not complete it by now, but life has “gotten in the way.” So whenever a good time rolls around I vow to give it a go.

I don’t do any other fiber craft well. I can crochet, and I have done cross-stitch (eons ago). I’ve spun with a drop spindle, but would like to learn on a wheel. And I’d also like to learn how to weave and how to sew. Because in my dreaming mind, I have unlimited amounts of crafting time. If only!

Yes, I am an avid embroiderer. I’ve dabbled in spinning and quilting too and sew on occasion. I also did crochet many moons ago but somehow lost the muscle memory after knitting for three years. That probably has to do with how one should hold a crochet hook versus a knitting needle. Anyway, if the Loopy Ewe wanted to expand into embroidery supplies that would be awesome.
Kristine Bennett said,
October 11, 2012 @ 9:54 am
No other needle arts right now, but I saw an awesome crochet sock monkey hat that I might have to make. To do that, I’ll have to learn how to crochet.
I guess I do sew some, but only with a machine – as little hand stitching as possible

Wow. I made that picture bigger to check out the colors, and they are ALL gorgeous. Since I have to pick only one, I pick Brigid’s Cloak. With regard to the October question, I recently made a small baby quilt for a friend, and I’m working on a big quilt top for myself. They’re very simple–just squares and a few strips, really– but figuring out a sewing machine is enough of a challenge! I am enjoying the quilts, but nothing takes the place of knitting. Thanks for hosting the giveaway and for introducing me to this pretty yarn!

I definitely have had my hands in many needle art crafts. My favorite non knitting hobby is quilting. I can also cross stitch…been a knitter the longest though!

Amy Mac said,

I can sew (the brown corduroy pantsiut I made in high school probably dates me!) and I can cross-stiitch, but all I ever want to do is knit! My last sewing project was a ladybug costume for now 17yr old DD or Halloween at age 4 or so….and cross-stitch has been in the closet for decades now! Give me yarn and needles any day;)
Alison said,
October 11, 2012 @ 10:20 am
Oddly, knitting wasn’t my first needle art. I grew up quilting and working cross-stitch and embroidery. (Mom and Dad were old fashioned! Ha!) College and the military got in the way, and everything fell by the wayside except for my cross-stitch. I picked my quilting back up, and have also added hardanger embroidery and SPINNING to the repertoire. I definitely don’t get bored!
Mary said,
October 11, 2012 @ 10:20 am
I mainly just knit now-a-days… I went through big counted cross-stitch and needlepoint phases in my 20′s (yes, that was a long time ago), seems like I’ve known how to crochet forever, but I don’t do it much anymore – I just like knitting better. And I sew, although again, not often anymore. I’m sure I’ll be getting a small loom before 2013 is done, I just need to gather more info and stop spending ALL my money on yarn
Vicki said,
October 11, 2012 @ 10:24 am
Yes, I do! I cross stitch (although not as much as I used to), quilt, applique, sewing, crewel embroidery. I love the Elphaba’s Corset!

I have a dark and secret past doing cross-stitch, needlepoint, and sewing. I have what I hope is a brighter future as a spinner — in the past few years, I have acquired a beautiful drop spindle, some lovely roving, and a how-to-spin book, but haven’t actually stepped up to the plate. My crocheting is limited to finished knitted objects . . .

For me, spinning is my ‘real’ second hobby. I have done cross stitch and have a second project just started and I have a vintage sewing machine found at Goodwill with a pile of fabric wanting to become skirts and jammy pants…but its the spinning that is my go-to when my knitting needs a break!

Hi Sheri,
Not sure if it’s too late but figured I wouldn’t lose anything by responding anyway – we were away.
My hobbies include knitting, crocheting, counted cross stitch, and rug hooking. I would LOVE to learn how to do my counted cross stitch FASTER but so far, it’s the slowest of my fiber hobbies. lol
Veronica said,

I’m a quilter as well as a knitter, although knitting has taken over of late. I also (very occasionally) do counted cross stitch, and have just signed up for a learn to crochet class.
Meg Caulmare said,
October 11, 2012 @ 10:44 am
Those skeins are gorgeous! Can’t wait to have access to them and to her roving.
I love knitting and spinning equally! I started knitting first, but spinning is a whole other world. I also weave on a rigid heddle loom, and I’m glad to see you feature one in your blog from time to time. I also do crewel embroidery and needlepoint. Counted cross-stitch is gorgeous stuff, but it’s beyond me. The people who do those tiny, delicate stitches produce artwork. Maybe someday….
Hugs to the family and cats.

Every so often I pick up some cross stitch again, but usually its just knitting with a tiny bit of crochet in there. The only other hobby I do fairly often is costume making.
Lynda said,
October 11, 2012 @ 11:00 am
Knitting is number one right now, but I like to do embroidery (both silk and crewel), counted cross-stitch and crochet as well – there’s just not enough time to do them all. I’ve also done needlepoint, ribbon embroidery, bead weaving, and I made the acquaintance of rug hooking once.
Love the Fibernymph colors. Autumn Harvest is especially calling to me right now. I can see my stash and wishlist is going to grow when you put these up in the store!

I spin, and a friend taught me to weave years ago but it didn’t “take” – although your weaving workshop made me think again about it…and being in the midst of moving, I feel like I’m on that whirling umbrella swift this week, too! I’ve also done counted cross-stitch and needlepoint.
Bea Record said,

I’m a quilter and a spinner – I like to start from the very beginning with an unwashed fleece and see what I can make of it. For knitting, I am a sock addict, make very little of anything else. Paper crafts take up quite a bit of my time also, it’s now time to make Christmas cards.

I love to do almost anything that involves yarn or fabric. I knit, quilt, do needlepoint and cross-stitch, and in two weeks will try my hand (again) at spinning. I have a large loom, but I have never learned how to use it. My mother gave it to me thinking I would use up my stash or at least bring it down to a manageable size. Must be something Freudian about why I don’t use it. That yarn is so beautiful – looks good enough to eat!

Knitting is my first passion but I have embroidered, done needlepoint, tried weaving and sewed my own clothes and clothes for my daughters years ago. Would love to try some spinning.
Anneh said,
October 11, 2012 @ 11:43 am
Do people really have time to do things other than knitting? My hubby would say at this point that I am obsessed and need to “diversify my portfolio”. While he probably means take up a sport or something physical, if I do pick up another needle art it is likely sewing or quilting. I have spun in the past, and would like to get back to it, too!
Kate said,
October 11, 2012 @ 12:00 pm
Knitting is my true love but I started spinning nearly 2 years ago.
I also like doing needlepoint, I got away from it a while ago because it was hard to see what I was doing (I can knit in the dark) but now that I have real glasses I’d like to pick it up again.
Steph M. said,

Cynthia said,
October 11, 2012 @ 12:09 pm
In addition to my knitting I’m also a quilter. The first thing I attempted (and finished, thank you!!) was a king-sized quilt as a wedding present for my daughter and son-in-law. I guess I started it when they got engaged (almost a year before the wedding) but something happened….and I didn’t finish it until they had been married 7 years!! Now, in my defense I will say that in the meantime I made a quilt for my then unborn granddaughter (even before they even TALKED) about kids, and a small wall hanging for my mother, oh, and I starated another double-bed sized quilt with friends….so there you have it! Thanks.

Do I have any other hobbies? DO I HAVE ANY OTHER HOBBIES??? =) I cross-stitch, needlepoint and do all other manner of needlearts (hardanger, temari, stumpwork, pulled and drawn thread) and I’ve even been known to do some bobbin lace or tat. I also like beading (sewn patterns rather than just stringing). I just learned to sew, too. (Like with a machine.) As long as it’s sewing with a straight seam. =) Elphaba’s Corset is GORGEOUS!!

Gorgeous looking yarn!
I think a better question might be “what don’t you do?” I knit, spin, sew, quilt. I’m learning to weave right now. I’ve been known to crochet, cross stitch, hook rugs and needlepoint. And those are just the fiber hobbies.
Carol Dernberger said,
October 11, 2012 @ 12:46 pm
I sometimes wish I could say that I was knitting exclusive, but no… I crochet, spin–both wheel and spindle, I weave (love my Cricket), I sew, I embroider… I think that all for now, as I gave up stained glass about 10 years ago.
Judi said,

I have knit for most of my life but a friend taught me Hardanger a few years ago and I love it. There are several projects sitting in my craft room waiting to be finished and I have finished projects in every room on the walls and tabletops.
Andrew Berisford said,
October 11, 2012 @ 12:52 pm
Oooh, Brigid’s Cloak looks awesome! (I love my greens…) I crochet as well, but I mostly just do that for trims or for sculptural pieces. I have some needlepoint experience and do enjoy that, especially when it’s patterned stitches and not just plain old tent stitch. I’ve done two “lace” needlepoint pieces that I enjoyed very much. I have several unfinished pieces and I seldom get the urge to work on them. I tried to get into counted cross-stitch, but it was too much like hand-sewing, which I do not like at all. I think it was the “thread” versus “yarn” thing too.
Janet said,
October 11, 2012 @ 12:53 pm
I love pieceing and quilting but after moving into a condo, I didn’t have room for a sewing room and it is no fun to spend more time “getting out and putting back” than quilting so I don’t do it anymore. My other love is Hardanger embrodiery but as I have aged it became too hard on the eyes. Now my passion is knitting and especially knitting socks. Also, I can leave yarn laying about and it looks decorative. My knitting is a great way to pass time in the winter and and have warm garments and gifts too.

I am learning to spin, I do white work crochet, and I sew. I learned to crochet from my grandmother, she did the Irish whitework (think raised roses and ruffled dollies). The first work I ever did was a pattern called Queen Anne’s lace. My grandmother didn’t read pattern. She would look at another piece and work up a pice that way.
Margaret said,

I’ve sewn since I was 12 (I’m now 53) and I love any kind of needlework — needlepoint, embroidery, etc. EXCEPT for crochet. Not fond of crochet. But I could learn to love it too — given the opportunity and encouragement
I’m focusing on knitting these days.

I love the green – Brigid’s Cloak is gorgeous! I’ve been a knitter for over 50 years. Learned to crochet the same summer and used it mainly for thread crochet doilies and tablecloths and yarn afghans. Tried tatting but that was one skill that eluded this total leftie, especially since my teacher (my grandmother) was completely right-handed! I sew a bit and still do embroidery but haven’t tried weaving or spinning.

I also crochet and do counted cross-stitch. I’ve tried my hand at crewelwork, needlepoint, and rug hooking, but I always go back to knitting. I’d like to learn to spin and weave, and if my work schedule ever coincides with the class schedule at one of my NSLYSs (not-so-local yarn shops) I’ll finally get to learn from someone who knows instead of muddling through by myself and getting frustrated.
Megan said,

Knit and crochet both now. Failed frequently at spinning.
Used to do cross stitch, but that had to go up with the teens were small, both for the needles, and the onset of Mommy Brain. 
Would like to try quilting.

I’ve done cross stitch (still have TONS of patterns!), free hand embroidery, macrame (who’s a hippie?), and still do crochet as well as knit. For the holidays, I plan on doing some sewing! Should be fun, provided I don’t pull my Mom’s trick of sewing right through a finger….
I’d have to have Elphaba’s Corset, of course.

I think I’ve done all of them at one time or another, although knitting tops the list. Haven’t touched the spinning wheel in a few months, and can’t remember the last time I touched a sewing machine. Could never quite get the hang of tatting, and crochet is not my best friend. Fav next to knitting has to be petit point. Once did a portrait of one of my Basset Hound champs. I think I used 7 or 8 shades of tan for his markings.

Fortunately I do not, because where would I put all the stuff that goes along with it? The yarn already overflows it’s designated area(s). But, I keep saying I will learn to spin when I retire, and I’m hoping that’s real soon!

I love needle arts. I do counted cross-stitch, crochet, sewing and knitting, of course. My current favorite is knitting, but I am learning more about sewing at the moment by teaching my daughters how to sew, they are 8 and 6. Thanks for sharing this beautiful yarn!

Yay for Fibernymph dye works!
I first learned to cross stitch at the age of 5, on those big plastic grids. So I love/d doing that, but then knitting started to take over. I still buy counted cross stitch kits. I have also bought a spinning wheel, I barely have any time to play video games now!

Just knitting for me (though I do know how to crochet, about the only thing I use it for anymore is certain bind-offs on my knitting!). Lately I’ve become intrigued by both spinning and weaving, but have yet to find an opportunity to try my hand at these. Thanks, Sheri, for the chance to win the pretty new yarn!

Gina said,

Lacey said,

You name it, I’ve done it! I’ve been doing latch-hooks since I was a child and even my husband is currently working on one. I’ve been doing cross-stitch since high school and love it. I just wish it didn’t take so very long. I’ve recently been gifted some embroidery items so I’ve just started learning how that all works. It belonged to a friend’s mother who recently passed away and he wanted me to have it. I want to finish some of the items and give them back to him once they are complete. Here’s hoping I can do her memory justice!
Tina said,

I learned to crochet before I learned to knit, both when I was young. I also have done embroidery, cross stitch, counted cross stitch, quilting, and when I was in high school and college made most of my own clothes. Now knitting is my primary needle art, but while going through some boxes a couple of weeks ago, the quilting bug began to bite, so I may do some of that here soon. I have many projects lined up and way too many stashes of supplies.

I do a little counted cross stitch, a little sewing although most of my sewing these days is on repair end and not the creating end of the spectrum. Sewing buttons and patches is my specialty! My crochet is between barely acceptable to passable (I usually only crochet the opening of sweaters and have to relearn it each time. I like to knit. Plain and simple.

I knit, quilt, needlepoint, rug hook and cross stitch. Whew, sounds like a lot. Knitting is my first love and the craft I go back to every time I get distracted. I distract easily- new floss, new fabric, ooooohhh shiny !!!! I love the Autumn Harvest and Bridgid’s Cloak colourways. Thank you for the giveaway.
Josiane said,
October 12, 2012 @ 1:29 pm
In addition to knitting, I spin and weave (however, my spindles, wheel and loom have sadly been neglected lately). If we include all fiber arts, I dabble in felting, too, both needle- and wet-felting.
Those skeins from this new dyer are lovely – I’m looking forward to seeing her rovings, too: they might inspire me to get back to spinning!
Suzanne said,
October 12, 2012 @ 1:29 pm
Knitting and spinning are where my heart has been the past few years. I also crochet, quilt, bead amulet bags, sew, cross stitch, needlepoint, and the list goes on and on and on. Retirement will never be dull for me once I get the chance to retire. Thanks for feeding my addiction – and it is well fed.
Kris Paige said,
October 12, 2012 @ 1:37 pm
Let’s see: spinning, knitting, weaving, crochet, needle tatting, starting quilting, sewing, naalbinding,……needlepoint, bargello, it’s what’s keeping me semi-sane at the moment. Wish I could figure out how to knit and type at the same time! I’m madly in love with all the yarn you have–and now you’ve added to my addiction. Thank EWE!
Debbie said,
October 12, 2012 @ 1:45 pm
I can crochet and sew, and I’ve done counted cross stitch and needlepoint — but I do not want to learn to spin or weave because I fear it will take away from my knitting time! I even won a small tabletop loom at a fiber festival and then traded it for yarn at the LYS! I love handspun yarns but I’m happy to pay someone for their skill!

Rachael said,

My first foray into fiber arts was sewing – I learned from my mom. Then my neighbor taught me to counted cross stitch. I picked up knitting in college and started spinning shortly thereafter. I’ve made a couple of quilts now that I’m married and I really want to learn to weave! I still do all these crafts. In fact, there is nothing on the needles right now and I am cross stitching instead!
Ronni said,
October 12, 2012 @ 2:00 pm
Oh good grief yes. Spinning, weaving, quilting, kumihimo, general sewing, needlepoint, embroidery both floss and silk ribbon, and ribbonwork with both wired and not. I want to learn to do bobbin lace (I have a starter kit but haven’t played with it yet) and to tat someday. Crochet is the only one that hasn’t grabbed ne at one time or another. I even did macrame when I was a kid. And there are some crochet patterns out that may yet get me to try that again for more than just trim.

I currently spin as well as knit. I wove at a weaving studio before children. Hope to do that again when the time demands are reduced. I’ve done some counted cross-stitch and have a few projects still in the UFOs. Of all these fiber crafts knitting fits the best due to portability.

I crocheted and did cross stitch until a little over a decade ago when I discovered knitting. Knitting became such a passion for me that I rarely crochet and never cross stitch anymore. Knitting is definitely my yoga, meditation, etc all in one (okay, there might be more than one in progress) knitting project !
These yarns are gorgeous! If I’m lucky enough to win I might have to do an eeny, meeny, miney, mo to decide!

I do a lot of one-of-a-kind custom art quilts. Used to do the conventional one, then decided to do art ones. When a customer orders one, I first do up a drawing for their approval. When they are happy I choose a wide variety of fabrics for depth, shadow & the diverse details & begin assembly. So far the largest one was queen size. Currently working on a panda design & a farm tractor. Have done several sport ones & some child subjects. My favorite was from a photo of a deer, done totally to scale.
I also enjoy crosstitching a photo onto aida cloth. Did my very first one before it was the thing to do, of our first granddaughter more than 23 years ago. She now has it in her own home. Working on one of her three sons together.

Long ago I made one latchhook rug. Then in my 20s, I became enamored with cross stitch. Now that I’m older and wiser, it’s only knitting for me. I have many needles, but they are only for knitting.
jlseldon7 said,
October 12, 2012 @ 2:59 pm
I knit like mad and crochet poorly. I am attempting to get better, but if I have to crochet something single crochet is my go to stitch. Aside from that you can find me doing the occasional sewing, though it mostly falls into the category of mending rather than crafting.
I do make a mean guacamole does that count as a craft. Those knives are almost as pointy as needles

Seminar each year. I looks forward to my week away at Seminar. It inspires me to get busy with all my needlework be it knitting or needle pointing.

I am trying to learn how to spin. I bought a wheel about 25 years ago and it has been a decorative item in my living room but now I am trying to work it. I also use to do needlepoint, counted cross stitch. I had to give them up because I was having trouble seeing well enough to do them. I have also crotched. However, knitting is my first love.

I do it all, and then some!! Knit, crochet, needlepoint, quilt, weave, spin, garden, bead, write, read, teach, paint, refinish furniture, photography, geanology, yoga, Curves, eldercare, cook, and work at the polls. I am retired and there are those who ask what I do. Please………there is not enough hours in the day. And I love every minute of it.

I do! I crochet, I sew (advanced beginner), and I really want to learn to weave. When I was little, I did a lot of cross stitch and plastic canvas stuff. I might get into latch hooking just so I can teach my daughters how.

I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch. But, as my mother said to me one day, “How many samplers can you really use?”
I have done some spindle spinning (not terribly successfully) and lately, I am feeling the itch to learn to weave.
sue said,
October 12, 2012 @ 5:10 pm
I used to be a bit counted cross-stitcher, but knitting kind of overtook my time. I am going to take a spindle spinning class starting this Sunday! I kind of learned a long time ago, but quickly forgot, so I’m looking forward to *really* learning.
KrispyOfOz said,

I’ve done about everything except spin, although I didn’t master tatting. Not that I’m a master at all of them, but I’m competant in knitting, crocheting, quilting and sewing. I’m a sucker for color and the tactile qualities of fiber.

I like to do cross stitch when I have some down time. At least I used to do that before I found knitting and now that consumes my free time.
Kathleen C said,
October 12, 2012 @ 5:51 pm
My current constant companion is knitting. But through the years I have crocheted, cross stitched, embroidered, needlepointed, quilted, sewed, need I say more! I love all of the needle arts–there aren’t enough hours in the day or, I fear, years in my life left to do all of the things I want to do or even use up all of the yarn or fabric that I have–but that doesn’t stop me from buying more and adding more projects to my queue. It’s a contest between Elphaba’s Corset and Nothing But Blue Skies (I remember that song
!)

Throughout the years I have knitted, crocheted, needle pointed, embroidered, latch hooked, tatted, counted cross stitched, liquid embroidered, felted, sewed … shall I continue? However, the only one I continue with today is KNITTING! It is the most relaxing and rewarding hobby I can find other than reading a good mystery.

Oh yes, I also love smocking and heirloom sewing, cross-stitch (samplers!), bit of needlepoint here and there…and have learned crocheting in more recent years. I even did some real lacemaking techniques for a (short) while, but the endproduct is Just too tiny for that that effort!

I sewers as a youngster and did some quilting as a young adult. Life, marriage and a child stopped that creative process until my husband started a fiber herd of alpacas. I’ve since learned to spin, dye, weave and felt my own fiber. What a blast learning all the new things I can do with ANY type of animal fiber……….always looking for new color ways, new combination of blending… Life really got good and fun!

Every once in awhile, Mom comes through with some things that still can amaze my sons!

There was a time when I balanced cross stitch, smocking and embroidery with knitting. However they’ve taken a back seat to knitting for a few years now. On occasion I will put down the needles and pick up a crochet hook to crochet my favourite afghan pattern.

Knitting is my favorite craft – had to give up counted crosstitch as I enjoyed working with the very small cloth and the eyes were not cooperating. I learned to knit from my Mom years ago – late 40′s- I think I was about 9 when I made my first scarf and still knitting away.

I love to knit and last year after going to Stiches I decided I wanted to learn to learn to spin on a drop spindle. I bought drop spindle and some fiber and went home determined to learn to spin.
I now can spin on a drop spindle and have a spinning wheel, (learning again), and knit.
I learned to crochet as a child, but, prefer knitting and spinning over all the other things I’ve tried.

My knitting is my yoga. I take my knitting wherever I go. Mad. Pashmena is my favorite wool for shawls. I also do needlepoint but not lately. Moved to B.C. and knitting has saved my sanity. There are so many beautiful wools out there and Loopy Ewe carries them all. I belong to Prayer Shawl Ministry at Crossroads United Church. Wonderful group of ladies.

Knitting is my great love, though, and especially sock knitting.

Knitting is my first love, but I also love to needlepoint (also a wool yarn habit). My mother taught me to needlepoint before she taught me to knit. I created a miniature oriental rug on 24 count canvas (that’s really small!), which is a replica of a Kilim rug hanging in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, MO. It won a second place nod at the Arapahoe County Fair in 2010.

I just learned how to spin on a drop spindle (last Sunday). I love it and am practicing as much as I can in between knitting Halloween socks for my nieces. I can’t wait until they offer a class with spinning wheels and I want to be ready for it. In the past I’ve also done a lot of counted cross stitch, embroidery and needlepoint. My maternal grandmother taught me to crochet, but I was never able to really get the hang of it. My paternal grandmother tried to teach me to knit, but she lived across town (the other grandmother was next door) and so I couldn’t see her often enough to learn (and once I was old enough to drive, I was “too cool” to want to let her teach me to knit – what a fool!). She also tatted lace and in hindsight I wish I’d asked her to teach me that as well. I like to think that my grandmothers are both smiling down from Heaven when I’m knitting or doing other needlework.

I crochet on occasion and used to do a lot of off-loom bead weaving. Knitting is my first love, though, and rarely a day goes by where I haven’t at least knit a row or two. I try really hard to limit my WIPs but lately haven’t been doing a very good job. Knitting helps me cope with daily stress and is my escape and refuge.

Umm- yes! I also spin on a wheel, a bit of crochet (just enough to be dangerous), and counted cross stitch.

I seem to have run the gamut of needle crafts during the course of my lifetime. Both of my boys had needlepoints I made for their births. A few years later I started quilting and making curtains and pillows for around the house. When the boys started wrestling in high school I needed a more portable hobby, so I started knitting. Now I feel antsy if I don’t have something on my needles.

I started knitting about 60 years ago and just last year did some for the 1st time in several years. Due to a shoulder injury I was too unconfortable to knit. I have been
doing counted cross stitch, needlepoint and hardanger. Now I am doing all again and I don’t have enough time to spend doing these wonderful things. I never sit down without something in my hands to stitch or knit.
Lynn said,

I also, have done many needle crafts thru the years. I started with knitting as a child, added crocheting and embroidering. After having two girls, I picked up quilting and needlepoint. Three boys and one grandchild later, I am back to knitting and starting the adventure away from squares and rectangles.

I think that I was born with a needle in my hand!! Besides making clothing for myself, I have at times quilted, done loads of crossstitch, done a little crocheting, and now almost exclusively knit using both knitting machines and knitting needles. My sweaters are almost always my designs with maybe a pattern which I saw somewhere else.
I would like the Nothing But Blue Skies skein if I win!!!

I’ve done them all. I still dabble in cross stitch, and do some costume sewing, and then there’s the quilting. Oh, and I demonstrate spinning at my farmer’s market every other week during the season. There are other crafts, sans needles, but that’s a list for another day.
Oh, and Elphaba’s Corset is screaming at me. I would like that one, please.

I have been quilting nearly thirty years and have also done a lot of counted thread embroidery. I have supplies for rug hooking and have dabbled in that. Now, I mostly knit, spin, dye, and have recently bought a little Cricket. If I could do away with sleep, I could get a lot more done!

My first needlework was embroidery and cross stitch taught by my grandmothers. A friend in college taught me to knit. I also crochet. I learned to spin after my daughters were in 4-H with sheep projects and I kept the sheep and their fleeces. I’ve done a little weaving. My most recent
needle art is rug hooking — almost finished with my third rug. An Air of Elsewhere is gorgeous.

I used to crochet quite a bit, but have not done so for many years. Periodically I try to teach myself to spin using a spindle. I really do want to get better at it, and know that I need to practice, but find myself choosing to knit in spare moments instead.
Colleen said,

When I was a teenager, the thing to do was crewel embroidery and I spent a lot of time decorating my cutoffs with it. I do crochet sometimes to make stuffed squeaky dog toys or once to make a cotton liner inside a newly knitted wool hat I could not stand against my skin! I have yearned to try quilting, but I fear my sewing machine is on its last legs. I have tried Counted Cross Stitch, but it does not appeal so very much. Knitting socks is my new favorite hobby.
Susan Edmondson said,

Back in the days when I had more free time, I enjoyed doing cross-stitch and needlepoint, even the very fine gauge stitching on linen. Now I can’t see as well, time is limited, and i consider it a good day if I get some sock-knitting done. I still dream, however, about learning to spin.

Late comer, but to answer your question – YES! I started as a crocheter, then branched into counted cross-stitch and needlepoint. At some point I added in latch-hooking, and a handful of years ago tried my hand at a weird type of rug hooking I bought as a kit. It’s still sitting unfinished on a shelf in my basement. I tried knitting back several years ago when we were preparing to move, and I had packed up all my crocheting. I found I just needed to do something with yarn, and bought a little learn to knit kit and taught myself.

I’ve done cross stitch for over 30 years and have many beautiful projects to show for it. I bought a sewing machine and serger about 10 years ago, and have been trying to learn to sew. But I find reading patterns difficult, and there’s so much to know that it can be very frustrating and discouraging at times. I also tried my hand at jewelry making. I bought a ton of supplies, but never got very good at it. I still make a few things now and again, mostly out of guilt for having such a huge stash. I tried paper crafts, like making cards and gift tags, for a short while, but found it too boring. In 2009 I learned to knit. I’ve become fairly obsessed, and enjoy knitting immensely. I have met many wonderful knitters at classes and through my knitting guild. I still have a lot to learn, but I’m having a blast.

Yes, I Cross Stitch. Although I have not done it in a few years, I used to be religious about it. It was very relaxing and I enjoyed the quick results. I gave it up as my hands are not as good as they used to be with the finer needles. I so enjoy knitting, it’s relaxing and soothing to me. I can spend an entire day knitting away, although I don’t get to much time to do that, I try to make at least two weekend’s a month. Knitting is my ultimate pleasure and enjoyment!! This yarn is gorgeous! I would love to know the base. Thank you for your offer!!

I just recently learned to knit, but also crochet and cross stitch. I used to love to sew and made many items for me and my children when they were small. Now since I have learned to knit I absolutely love it even though just still a beginner.

Knitting is the only one for me. I don’t have enough time to knit nearly as much as I’d like, so I don’t really want to get into any others. But I suppose picking up a little crochet at some point is inevitable for some finishing work and borders and such.

I have dabbled with spinning and once did very basic weaving, but I have a substantial quilting and x-stitch stash that together almost matches my yarn stash. I guess that is to be expected when my aunt used to own a x stitch store and my mom worked as a seamstress.

I would love to win Bridgette’s Cloak. Yes, I do a lot of counted cross stick and I have been crocheting since I was a child (that’s a lot of years). I also enjoy doing some embroidery and candlewicking. Pretty much if it involves a needle or hook and thread or yarn I enjoy it.

I knit, crochet, drop spin, wheel spin, cross stitch, and hand quilt (a bit). I LOVE the “An Air of Elsewhere” colorway!

I only knit now though I think spinning and dyeing would be fun if I were able . The beads have been so fun to add. The nouveau Beaded caplet used 3000 beads and I added two sections so my count was even higher.

Quilting is my newest hobby – too bad it cuts into the knitting time.

I have done nearly everything i wanted to at some point –
knitting, crochet, needlepoint, cross stitch, counted cross stitch (i have a HUGE ketubah i had stitched).
the only thing i haven’t done that i’m game for is dying/spinning!

I have been quilting for 20 years, but knitting since childhood.

An Air of Elsewhere…. Ah what a lovely name. I just started spinning, if you can call it that. I really am taking fluffy fiber and turning it into lumpy fiber — time will fix that I hope.

Spinning, and I’m getting back into hand sewing and embroidering clothes (a la Alabama Chanin). Go crafts!

Anything with a threaded needle or fibre. I sat down to do some mending the other day and realized how much I miss handsewing. There simply isn’t enough ways to make time for everything my imagination brings me.

So many options – I like to spin and weave, and have always enjoyed sewing.

I have crocheted for years and knitted for about five. Our church organist taught me to tat…I enjoy tatting small projects to give as gifts.

Would love to learn how to spin. Used to cross stitch. Just getting started in sewing. Need to learn basic crochet.
