This week’s SBQ was suggested by Kathryn and is:
Are there other crafts that you have tried and abandoned? Why do you like stitching better?
Although I haven’t technically abandoned it, the craft that came to mind when I read this question was knitting. I taught myself the basics of knitting a couple of years ago but never got past some dishcloths.
I actually enjoyed learning how to knit and one of my current colleagues has even invited me to her knitting group and offered to teach me some more advanced techniques, but I have yet to take her up on her offer.
I suppose the reason I prefer to stitch is simply because I am not as good at knitting as I am stitching and when I have time to spend crafting I would rather do something I am good at. Yes, I know that I will never become a proficient knitter unless I practice, but I just don’t want to put forth the effort.
In addition to that, I also don’t knit because I don’t have any knitting stash. Sure it is a flimsy excuse because I could always buy some yarn and needles, but that fact is when I have money to spend on crafts I would much rather buy cross stitch charts, embroidery floss, and hand-dyed fabrics!
