I make something new several times a week. I try to sell some of it but I am so busy making I don’t have time to take pictures and put them online.
I make something new whenever an occasion comes up, such as a new baby coming. But more often than not, I get the urge to make something new every couple of months…just because!
I love to make crocheted and sewn items to donate and sale. I’m working on getting my business plan together and need all the help I can get.
<3, 🙂

I mostly make jewelry. Sometimes daily, sometimes a little less.
I make something new every couple of months, more often in the summer when I have more time.
I make something at least once a week. Sometimes its just little things, other times its a big thing, like an item of clothing.
i try to make something new weekly, most times i succeed
I like to make new things whenever I can. I enjoy trying new ideas and projects. Believe it or not I have already started my projects for Christmas. WooHoo
Definitely working on something new constantly–but finishing something new? Usually only every few weeks! 🙂
I try to make something new whenever I have free time.
I make something new almost every day! Whether I paint or design something new, finish construction on a new piece of jewelry, engrave a new design, I do this every day. Several projects in the works, all to be completed soon!
Oops! Can’t type! I think I should add that to a needs work project!
I don’t have FB, but we work on making something most days — it’s always a new project, even if we’ve made something similar before.
I make something new about 2-3 times a week.
I try to make something every day. Not always successful, but you have to try.
a couple of times ayear
I just love to create every chance I get.
I have challenged myself to draw something everyday in the new year. Although I missed a few days I keep trying and my sketches show improvement. Always a recycled art project on my worktable (ok ok I have a bunch of them in progress) and I am busy creating at least 5 days a week!!
I’ve always got a couple of projects going with several waiting on the sidelines…
I make something new almost every day! I am just unleashing my creative spirit since I quit a highly stressful job. I love to sew, paint, draw, crochet, knit and cook! There may even be a few more skills buried within me that I haven’t discovered yet.
I am always working on something. I have a disdcloth on knitting needles now, and a crochet bookmark.
I am a school teacher and I make things almost daily to use in my class. But, for home it is typically around the holidays.
I make something new everyday. I am always sewing or crocheting.
I make new things every week when I get together with a friend or two for an arts and craft day.
I always have a project or three going!
As soon as I finish one project I’m starting another
I make a lot of things and usually give them away to friends and family
I make new things about every week…right now I’m working on premie & newborn hats to donate to the NICU.
about every 2 – 4 weeks
I make something several times a week
I always have something on the go and if it’s something big then I take a break from it and make a few small things (like stuffed animals or a quick scarf or hat). I just started to learn how to crochet in June 2012 and have learned so many new things that I’m totally hooked on crochet. I even sold things at my local farmers market at christmas.
I am always crocheting or netting or sewing by machine or hand sewing. I want to sell some of my stuff but I don”t want to spend a lot of money. So some ideas would be great for selling my crafts.
Thank you.
Marilyn
I make something every single day…it’s what I do instead of watching tv! I have a arts and crafts obsession…crochet, knit, paint, play with clay, art journal, jewelry…basically everything that catches my eye…I always have a million projects going on at once!
I am always working on at least one project at any given time, so I am creating daily. I knit, crochet, make jewelry, cook and bake. Since I never follow any pattern or recipe exactly, I’m always making things my own way.
I try to do at least one new item a week
I make crafts etc. constantly! Just recently got back into crocheting, am working on a baby cowgirl set at present. Just finished with my own design for Ladybug potholders.This book would be absolutely awesome to own. Thank you so much for the chance to enter.
I have several projects going at once! A teddy bear, scarf, doll clothes, slippers, and more as needed or asked for. Always making something new and I love it!
Crafting, be it knitting,crocheting,embroidery, I am always making something daily. It has always been a dream for me, since I was a child to have my own craft shop.

I made several things to sell for valentines day; heart-shaped potpourri satchets, heart chained scarves, and heart chained bookmarks.
I make new things each time I look at my favorite crocheters on Youtube! I love it!
I learned to crochet at only 5 years old and have never stopped! 🙂

I try to make something new each week, but I get so busy with life that it doesn’t happen. I want to start my own crochet business, and I need help with the process. Thanks for the giveaway

Making things is in my blood. I make things every day.
I always has a project to work on, usually multiple projects at once. How often I actually finish a new item is another question entirely. 🙂
I make something new every time I’m asked to for the business, which can vary a lot! But usually every few weeks or once a month. As for personally, I make new things almost everyday! I love to craft, especially upcycled crafts!! 😀
I swear I make something new once a week! I have a hard time buying something when I know I could make it!
I make new things as often as I can, I am working on one right now.
I try to make new things as often as my fibromyalgia allows & how often I have free time from taking care of my legally blind hubby. But these delays do not keep my mind from creating things in my head before the chance to make them by hand. It’s like think twice, create perfection!
I am always making something. I almost always have 2 or 3 projects in the art room waiting to be finished when I think of something I want to try and start another one 🙂

I like to make new things as often as possible…at least once a week.

Constantly starting something new…right now I’m working on a Christmas ornament swap, a baby afghan for a great grandson coming in 3 weeks and a grandson coming in a month. Love finding UFO’s in my room that I can get finished as well…spend more time in my craft room than anywhere else in the house!
I start on something new about once a week.
I try to make something new at least once a week. Sometimes it just depends on how much time I need to put into the project.

I am always making & trying something new. I crochet and always try different designs
always have new stuff in the works, tweeking old stuff too!
As often as I can.
for me, it depends, since I work with so many different mediums, and couple that with my disability. Some items take me a day or two to complete, other take a month or so. I refuse to rush anything just to get is finished……it has to feel “right”, and it will tell me when it is complete.
I start a new project almost as soon as I finish one. If I don’t have a new idea, I work on one that I have that is kinda on-going.
I pretty much make something new every day. I sell alot of the things I make so therefore I have to keep things fresh and find new ideas.
I try to make new things as often as I can, my schedule doesn’t always allow it but every spring break and summer break I make stuff. 🙂
Everyday I make something new. I have a studio and when I’m awake, that’s where I’m at.

I try to make something new every week or so
I’m working on a knit dishcloth that I work on almost everday.
I scrapbook as often as I can, but it tends to be only on weekends when I go to someone’s house or to a crop – there’s no real room in our house to do it. I’m “scrapping for hire” but I know I’m underpricing myself. But I still tend to do it more for the joy of the process then for the money. Scrapbooking makes me happy like shopping makes me happy – it doesn’t have to by my own pictures I’m scrapping (my own money I’m spending) – I just like making pages (I like buying things for others…the “thrill of the hunt!”) Of course, if I spent more time on my own pictures, I’d have more to show for it instead of always giving away my best work! 😉
As a busy stay at home mom of four, I don’t make things as often as I would like to. I love crafting and try to fit in something creative as often as I can.
I make new things alot. I am always looking for materials and ideas.

I usually make something new every couple of days. I like to try new patterns or tutorials for different things!

i love to try new things, bot time and money is another thing. i am working on new dresses now
I’m always creating something, but need to earn additional money. It would be great if that need for money was satisfied by creating crafts instead of taking away from my crafting time.
I love making new things once I have finished a current WIP I start something new I haven’t tried before
It’s non stop with me….I’m sewing & crocheting just about every day! Everyone I know has been telling me that I need to sell my handmade stuff, so maybe this is a good place to start.

I’m always working on something (and it’s always “new”, even if the craft itself is old – like crocheting doilies!), right now I have an afghan and a doily on my hooks and a washcloth on my knitting needles. It really all depends on what I’m in the mood to do (and whether I can keep the kitties properly positioned on the afghan – oddly enough, nobody wants to sit on Mommy’s lap unless there’s an afghan involved)!
I design and create five days out of seven. I love doing it so that’s why I am always thinking about what I want to do next. If I’m not actually creating something, I am thinking about creating something. 🙂
I make or work on something at least once a week, more often if I have time…I stay pretty busy with work, school and kids. 🙂 I always wanted to make a living doing the things I love!
I wake up every morning wanting to make something and learn something new. I have often wondered if I can make a living at it.
Depending on size of project about 1-2 a week
When the fever strikes. If I see a pattern,layout, or beautiful idea I waste no time getting out my supplies or go buy more.
I like to work on something everyday to keep the creative juices going. I try to make something everyday.
Everyday! I’m always making new things…it’s a passion!
Right now I am making purses made on a handmade loom. I use all types of yarn for different textures. Each one is lined. they are quite nice. I am trying to get enought done to take to a craft show but it takes about a week to finish one. I also make survival bracelets.Sometimes I have to walk away for a few daysto get my creativity back.
I am always on the look out for something new to make. Learning a new craft is so much fun!
I have recently learned how to quilt. I love sewing so quilting was a definite much know how to do. I try to learn a new square design a couple times a month
With 4 crafty kids…. we make something new hourly!
I make things everyday just about. Have been giving some thought to selling–at least that’s what my family and friends think I should do. Most of them do not realize what really goes into ‘making’ and item. Oh well. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I start several things at once, but I (almost) always complete them.”I Just Like To Make Things” would be so perfect. I need it.
I make a new craft item everyday
Every day through my email I come across something that I can’t wait to get home and make. Sometimes I print the instructions, other times I watch the video. Of course, I can’t actually make it immediately all the time. However, at some point during that week (usually in a couple of days) I find myself back at the craft store gathering up the required supplies, rushing home and begin creating. My name is Deborah and I am a craft addict! Thank you for listening.
I have several projects going on at once..painting coconuts for yard art,working on Kukui Nuts now for jewelry, next “Jacaranda Pods” (exploring possibilities!) I’d love to win this book! thanks for the opportunity!
I knit something new every week, if I really like it I make more than one. If I don’t like it, my mind redesigns it and tries to make it better. I give them as gifts, but if the item is over difficult and I’m pleased, keep it 🙂 !
I make something every week. Jewelry, concrete step stones, clay items.
I create daily and would really like to be able to sell them all.
I make something new when needed and sometimes when I just need to make something different.
I love making new stuff.. and I will be so happy to win this book..best birthday gift for my little one, as the day of draw is her 1st birthday 🙂 hope i win.. i am already imagining what i will make for my little one with this lovely book in hand.. 🙂
I like trying something totally new at least once a month – then spend the whole month making more!
I try and work on something new every evening. I find it very relaxing.
I don’t make things often enough. Usually if I plan on giving it as a gift. I’m in the middle of setting up my craft studio, hoping to be much more productive then 🙂
I make something new several times a month.
Right now I don’t make anything new ever. I’ve always felt that I lacked the creative, handy skills to do so, but I would like to learn!
I am working on new projects all the time ~ a hat a night, scarves, small blankets ~ all for charity. Maybe I can turn this into a profit to make more things 🙂
I make new things every week, cards, blankies, quilts, etc,.
Where do I start? I love creating new floral designs and taking leftover flowers apart to make things like butterflies, etc. I just finished making a pocket in the hoop to add to some plain pink shots for my granddaughter. Making new things is super fun, and my hubby just raves about them.
I love to sew, I learned basics watching my mother when I was young. I try to make something new weekly.
I make stuff several times a week…HOWEVER…I make a mess almost daily! Is it possible to be a organized crafter?? LOL
I make new items whenever a new idea strikes. I just wish I had more time to do it all. 🙂
I work on my craft things EVERYDAY. I love it. I wish I could sell some of my stuff but I just don’t know where. I can do just about anything.
I make new items for gifts, or sometimes just because I want to try out an idea. With full time work, it doesn’t happen as often as I would like, but I’ve always got two or three projects in the works. When I retire (soon, I hope) I plan to be able to see projects through to completion regularly.
I am always crocheting something. I make blankets, some blankets and more blankets.It warms my heart to receive photos of friends/family wrapped up snuggly in something I made for them.
I try to make something almost every day! The creative juices start to flow and I have to stitch something up. Too many ideas are trying to get out of this brain! ha
I make something whenever I get the crafty urge- Sometimes two or more times a week sometimes only once a month.
My family are always making something for someone. Sometimes it is a priceless treasure or something we were ask to make. My daughter is always making something and I would end up helping her. We made our signs for the girls scouts cookies for sale, she drew all the cookies..good post…:)
Today, she took one of her baby clothing and adjust it for her toy bear. She had permission:). I had to complete it. I love to build things with paper or crochet.
I make jewelry, and 3-dimensional art using recycled pieces. I also crochet, and just plain make things. I just want to make beautiful things even if no one else cares. I work on something every day.
I make something new whenever I have money and time at the same time (so, recently not that much, but usually once a week or so). 🙂
I have been working on crafts since the age of 5 and I am now 70 years young and going strong in crafting. I always have projects going and enjoy meeting people, demonstrating my skills and designing new ideas. I would now like to polish my selling skills so that I could earn more money to help support myself.
I would love to win a copy of “I Just Like to Make Things Book” to help me polish my selling skills of my hand-made articles.
After a long hiatus, I now realize that I am happier/more creative, when I am making things things to please myself rather than out of obligations to others. Now I look forward to making things everyday.
I am always looking for new ideas to inspire the boys and girls I work with and I’m sure this book would help me.
I truly Love to make things! I love to sew and craft, but my greatest pleasure is to give my family and friends my “Hand-made” treasures.
I’m always making something for someone, but, take a class for a new craft monthly. Last month was a chenille scarf, really fun!
I create every day even if it’s only in my mind, thats where my greatest idea’s come from . Than I can put it all together making my jewelry and it works out perfect.
How often I make something new depends on what I’m making and currently working on. Obviously, large items take longer than smaller items. lol
I am constantly designing and making new things. My hands can’t keep up with my brain!
I crochet pretty much every day, and cross stitch as often as I can. I’d love some ideas for growing a little crochet business 🙂
I’m constantly working on some project with my crochet! When I can’t crochet I suffer withdrawal!! LOL
I try to make omething new each week! I enjoy crochet and baking!
I make things multiple times during the week. Like now I set up a crafts trade show with my crafty friends in my clubhouse. So being it is in the beginning of March we are all working fast & furious to get as much made as possible.
I haven’t found a craft that I don’t love and I try to create something new almost daily using whatever medium I have handy at the time. I’m always trying new techniques that I see online or in craft books. I treasure the arts I’ve learned from my mother and aunt and I’ve passed these arts on to my own children and nieces and nephews.
I am always making things! I love to think outside the box. Even my kids are crafty!
I like to crochet things & give them away, whether it be to friends & family or donations to hospitals.
I have always been a crafty person. I have been wanting to learn more about turning my crafting into a business. I have always been afraid of loosing that “desire to craft and sew”if i decided to start selling my things.. Would love to learn more on how to keep my love of crafting going while I am also selling these items as well..
Gotta’ craft & gotta’ keep utilities.
Gotta’ get this book.
I make jewelry once or twice a week and I am teaching myself to sew which opens a whole new world of crafting ideas.
I make stuff at least once a week, more if I have time between cooking and cleaning and taking care of my 3 year old and 3 month old girls!
I do like to make things, often and well. My best friend is my qc advisor.
Let me win…..let me win!
I love to craft. I’m always knitting or crocheting and I also teach both.
I try to make something new every week.
Although thankful to crochet with a roof over my head and heat, I would love to have money too. I do love to make things. I’d love to have this help.
I am continuously working on something; crocheting, sewing, candles,baking.
i HAVE BEEN MAKING THING FOR 55 YEARS. wHEN YOU ARE ALL ALONE AND NEED SOME THING TO DO I CROCHET
I’m just curious.
I have not made anything for a while,because of an injury but hope to get back to making things soon
I love the satisfaction I get when I complete a project. I come from a family that crafts, as I watched my Grandmother and Mother craft all my life. Right now my main craft is crocheting, but I also love sewing, jewelry making, doll making, knitting and floral projects. There are many crafts that facinate me that I haven’t tried yet, such as silk fabric painting and fabric collage. Looks like a great book!
Once I finish the hats that I’m working on, I plan to start a 5 pointed star baby afghan.
i am starting to sew and do crafts again that i no longer work. i usually do one of the other once a week. i just found your site today but i can assure i will be back often when i’m not crafting or sewing.
I’m always on the lookout for something new and/or different to work on. I enjoy the challenge. Most of the things I make are given to charitable oranizations – I always hope they put a smile on someone’s face.
Always working in something
I love to make things, and sometimes make new items on a regular basis, (daily or weekly) depending on time, energy & motivation.
I really haven’t made much since my oldest daughter was about 4. Now she is 12 and interested in sewing and other crafts.
I love to create! Nearly everyday I make something neat ans then give it away so two can enjoy!
I don’t get to make things very often being sick, but when I do I give the things I make away.
I make something new in crochet at least once a month. I also sew and knit, so I am continuously working on something.
I want to win…………….please let me win!!!!!
I like to thread and yarn crochet. A lot of things I give away but I also make items specifically to sell. And recently I’ve begun to work my own patterns. (After 12 years of crocheting you’d think I’d have done that sooner. :))
Usually I have 2-3 projects going on at any given time. That gives me about 5-10 projects completed in a week’s time.
My Grandma made every baby born in our family an afghan and I have tried to continue the tradition. It is hard, but I’ve almost got it. I keep on trying
I like to crochet new things every day, im working on Easter hand bags for my granddaughters, I have 5 granddaughters and they always need some thing crochert from grandma and i love it, this pass christmas my grand baby call me and ask grandma could you please make a blanket for my doll because im useing a paper towel and she is cold lol, the blanket went out to VA the next day. So yes im in to new things every day i go to bed thinking what next for tomorrow, some day i like to have my own business and sell some of my blankets,hats,and sweaters.Thank you for a chance to win.

I try to crochet every day, but some of the patterns are a little over my skill level which make the project take longer. No prob… I LOVE crochet!!!
I have always had such pride in things I can make myself, and nothing brings more joy to others than the gifts we handmade just for them.
I make something new as soon as I am done the last thing i have made.. some times I even have 3 things going at once.. I am on low income so that isn’t so easy.. but I make it work somehow. Because of illness i hadn’t crafted from 1997 to 2010 .. and I used to do so many different things. I would love to win the book to get all my creative juices flowing just that much more .. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂
Each day I am hunting for ideas for things to create! LOVE crafting, sewing, crocheting, etc! Also, love creating neat things with my 4 yo grandson! He recently got a new coin bank from our bank when we opened a savings acct for him. He LOVED getting out the buttons, yarn, glitter, etc. to decorate his bank!
I am constantly making something new. At any given time of day my mind wanders from one project to the next.
I work on something every day. Some days I make lots of little things (I once made 5 turtles in one day then finished the scarf and hat set I was working on. I love to make things too much sometimes and I want to make it all. I have lists of things I want to make, some for family and some to sell. I sell at local farmers markets but need to look into other avenues as I have more to sell than I have customers.
I start something new probably two or three times a week. How often I finish a project, well…that depends on how complex the project is, how busy I get, and how many things I have started. Confession time: I have five projects that are more than three months old and one of them is over 18 months old and still unfinished…
I live in an apartnent conplex and am always trying to make new things. when the others see what I’ve made, they want to learn how so I teach them!
I crochet every chance I get! Literally a crochet hook is practically attached to my hand. I love to learn new patterns. Within the last 2 months I’ve actually started selling my pieces at a salon and local boutique. They are a hit!
I’m usually working on something every day. I crochet and make jewelry and try to do at least a little of both daily.
When I come across a new pattern I like (which is quite frequently) I file it until I have someone to make it for. As soon as I finish one project, a new one starts, and that maybe 1 a week, depending on what I may be making.
I’m always making something. It’s not unusual for me to have a few things going on at the some time. It may b a few crochet projects, x-stitch, jewelry
I always have something going on. Some times more than one. I do crochet, x-stitch, jewelry, latch hook, maccramae, whatever i can get my hands on that sounds fun. I especially enjoy teaching the children at church.
i love making new things all the time for my house
Continued. I want so much to sell my products. I’m on limited income because of being forced to retire because of health reasons. I love learning new things and sharing with others when i can.
i usually have something in the making all the time.
I am always making something. It would be nice to get this book to give me some new ideas.
Thanks for the chance.
I make hats (usually two are three a week) and donate them to chemo patients and also crochet baby items and dish towel holders to sell at craft shows.
I make craft all the time and always looking for a way to sell beside craft shows.
I crochet and work on a project everyday. Depending in the size, it may take a couple days to a few months as to how long it takes for a project to be completed.
I make something several times a week…ok, actually I START something every week; my list of unfinished projects is amazing! Really! Even I’m impressed with my ability to work on several things at once!
I am always working on making something, either knitting, crocheting, or sewing. Since I’m retired, I have the time and I like being creative and giving one of a kind gifts. This book would probably have many useful ideas I could use.
I start setting new whenever I’ve finished the last item. Sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly. Depends on what I’m crocheting
i actually start things way to often, thats why i have a huge WIPs basket!!!:P
Making things relaxes me after a days work. I always sit at the dining room table and have many things on the go. 90% is given away as presents. Thankfully I have a husband who loves seeing the end result of my handiwork.
I make something new as soon as I finish each project I am working on. I plan to hone my crafting skills before I retire from my current job, and start a new career making and selling items when I retire!
I am always making something. I usually have a few things going at the same time. As I am working on something I am thinking about what to make next. Would love to do it all ! Just got a sewing/quilting machine for Christmas. Have many, many projects in mind.
I don’t make things as often as I would like to. I do make handmade Christmas gifts, but would love to extend that to all gifts and more 🙂
I try to have a project going at all times. However, I am always looking for new patterns for our knitting/crocheting group at our local library.
How often do I makes things? I would like to say every day. But I still have to work for a living, so I make things whenever I can find a few minutes of time … A couple of times a week an always on Saturday. I just love to sew and I sell my items at the local farmers market on Saturdays thru the summer. I will retire at the end of this year and I hope to do a lot more sewing and craft shows. I also do alterations and embroidery.
I like to start (and hopefully finish!) one new project a week, but I think about new projects all the time! If it’s something small, like a bead project, I’ll try to make a new one everyday.
I am always making something. I have many scarves that I made and didn’t give away for presents. I have more afghans than I would ever need. I am still sewing All American Girl clothes and my granddaughters are too old. I am looking forward to retirement to make more. I need to sell my items to pay for the materials to make more.
I love making different things for other people or for myself
I love to make things for people and watch their expressions when I give them as gifts. My favorite thing to do is to crochet afghans, and scarves.
I work a little on what I’m making every day. I usually complete at least 2 new things every week.
I make something new whenever I have time between work and school! I have a crochet Facebook page called L.A. Crochet and an etsy shop! Please visit my page! I agree with the name of the book “I just like to make things!” I don’t really care if I end up selling something, I really just like to make things! =)
Recently interested in free form crochet. Actually may have always been doing it … if wonky mistakes count. Nice to know there’s a proper name for it. :0) Like mixed media everything.
My daughters (10 and 12) and I love to crochet! They’re always looking for ways to earn spending money! This would be awesome for them!
With my hands becoming so arthritic I’ve had to slow down considerably. I still like to make 3 or 4 new things a month though.
Hi, I make something new and different everyday. I stay at home taking care of my husband who has Lou Gherigs, and sewing is my exscape for awhile. Thank you for all the toturials. I try to make many of them.

I try to make something new weekly.
Always looking for new ideas!
I create everyday. I love to look at what others are creating and be inspired. I would love this book! i would like to be a full time artist and be able to survive!
I am not a horder – not in the physical sense, but in my mind I would own all the yarn, fabric, vintage buttons and patterns in the world and would spend all day, every day making stuff! In the real world, I always have a project going and am an accomplished crocheter, knitter and seamstrtess – 50 years + worth of experience. Love to make stuff!
I make a lot of little blankets for RSPA, I also make things for myself, I would like to make animals to sell for the charities I support.
I crochet all the time. I have also made so jewelry
I try to make one or two things weekly depending on the ease of the project. Sometimes I list it for sale on our Facebook page. Other times I give it to someone special. I am sure I will put this book to good use.
I love to bring smiles to kids at camp.We create memories and lots of fun & silly things.
About 1-2x/week
I like to make something new most days and if I’m not making things I’m usually working out how I can improve on something I’ve previously made or planning my next project. Im currently In the process of setting myself up to sell my crafts online….. Can’t wait for it all to come together. 🙂
I make something new at least weekly and sometimes daily. It just depends on my available time, energy levels and creative juices. I love all things related to fiber crafting. But I also enjoy other creative pursuits. Most items I make are gifted or donated and rarely for profit. I don’t want to feel obligated to make anything that would take away from the joy I get in the creative process, but I would love to earn some cash along with the accolades.
I love the title. I love to make things and give them away. I have made many gifts.
I am constantly making new things. Helping teach crochet one day, quilting, or making baby clothes the next. Thanks for giving us the chance to take our creativity to the next level.
Always have a project in the works, ususally begin a new one every 2-3 weeks and keep 4-5 of them going at all times
I love to crochet and sew. Even when I’m working on one project I’m already planning my next. So I usually have something I’m working on all the time.

I just finished crocheting what I thought would be a really cute tank top then I took it apart as although it fit me well, I looked super fat in it lol.I think I used too heavy of yarn. So I made a clunky bracelet and then some cute granny square bookmarks and now I am going to make either granny square slippers or a lightweight Zen jacket
I start something new every few months but inevitably get sidetracked by something else… I finish something every month though 🙂
Looking forward to gaining some great new creative ideas!
