I’m new to this art, having from childhood loving sketching & painting (no longer a passion) , learning to sew by hand & machine, now not so neat with hand & have no machine, nor used one for over 30 years! I also learned to crochet after leaving school as during school learned I was no good at knitting!
I learned to knit, amazingly enjoying it about 2.5 years ago eventually able to make a simple card I for my new granddaughter 1st birthday ! Now can do a few patterns but have not ventured into other garments yet!
Then I decided to try Crochet & pick up skill from earlier, can now do a nifty granny square & make all sorts using them , also all sizes of basic stitches but haven’t tried making anything using other patterns!
I’m happy with the standard I have achieved with these 2 skills!
Then lockdown! And shielding as in very high risk group!
I discovered a group of people, online, (some I knew from another craft group which just gave tasters of all sorts of crafts), that were more papercraft orientated. Low & behold, I love this! I have even bought myself a machine for die cutting and embossing! I am learning at my own pace a little about the craft, making cards along the way, trying making organizers, a simple box, and slowly hope to do more!
Like all my crafts I am in serious lack of space as only in a bedsit (sheltered accommodation) & long to move to a bungalow!
Having to take a little break
