Just curious. I crochet a bunch, newly including Tunisian crochet. Tried knitting but that shit's hard, and slowwww. Might use my knitting skills for super small stuff like washcloths, but I doubt I'd have the patience to create anything bigger.

Crochet, though. Crochet is dope. My favorite thing to make is scarves. They're nice and easy but useful and usually don't require you to count stitches like hats and other circular things do. I donate a lot of scarves and the occasional hat or blanket to local mutual aid organizations.

I may post some pics of my crochet later on, but atm I'm at work and can't do so.

Yay! I actually came here to see if there were any discussions around fiber arts. I'm a knitter, but love all fiber arts. I want to learn to hand die yarn with naturally grown dye. We will see. Here is one of my many WIP's (work in progress)
The Wishbone sweater Here is the project link on Ravelry.

I would love to see any WIP's you guys have going on right now!

Whoa, that's gorgeous! I'll bet it's hard as fuck to make too. Much respect.

I happen to have a little wool that I'm thinking of turning into yarn, but I don't know very much about the process. Maybe I'll get into yarn-making too, as if I needed another craft haha.

I'll post my WIPs a little later.
