Friday Five meme, 1 July 2022

1. What's your favorite crafty activity? Toss-up between spinning and knitting.

2. What got you into it? Knitting: my grandmother taught me when I was nine. Spinning: I saw people's really nifty handspun yarns and decided I wanted to learn to do that myself.

3. What was your favorite arts & crafts project as a kid? Favorite to make? Probably the musical notes sweater that I still have and wear. (Advantage to 1980s big baggy styles: they still fit when you're significantly older and 100 pounds heavier.)

4. What has someone made for you? My dad made me a nice wooden box that can be locked with a little padlock, though I don't use the locking function these days.

5. Are there any unfinished projects in your life you need to pick back up? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (pause for breath) I did a lot of cross-stitch many years ago, but stopped after having kids -- I can knit and watch a toddler more easily than I can cross-stitch and watch a toddler. I'd still like to finish the Teresa Wentzler Fantasy Sampler, though.

Definitely with you about #5. Now I'm retired I've been able to spend longer crafting and it's been wonderful!
