I grew up crocheting, knitting and cross-stitch/needlepoint/embroidery as well as sewing crafts and clothes – it’s just what we did growing up and I couldn’t afford a lot of clothing. Then, cheap clothes arrived in the US, and it was easier for me to buy than make :(. I still crochet, but my hands start to hurt and I need to take more breaks. I always say ‘when I retire’ and hope that my eyes and body make it that far! Too many years in front of a computer..
