My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is my arthritis.
Without a doubt, my biggest sewing, knitting, and crochet challenge is finding the time. I love to do it all!
My biggest challenge is finding supplies. I live an hour from a fabric store and have driven that distance and they don’t have small buttons or knit ribbing..it takes awhile to get everything for a project together. Sometimes things come in the mail and it takes a few minutes to remember what it was ordered for! Hard to stay motivated…..but when it does come together it was worth the wait!

Time is hard to find in caring for elderly folk at this time! Grab every moment I can! Thanks for sharing such great patterns and ideas!
My biggest sewing, knitting and crocheting … out of the three I have the least amount of experience with knitting. I can do the very basics, but when it gets to the more involved stitches, I can get confused, and start knitting tight, and even here or there dropping stitches. Need to know the “tricks of the trade” I guess.

My greatest but most fulfilling crocheting challenge was creating custom made ripple pattern afghans for my childrens’s spouses (4) and 14 grandchildren. My mother started the tradition around 30 years ago with my two brothers and myself, adding our spouses and all our children/her 12 grandchildren. I have two afghans to finish and I will have completed the tradition…for the present generation…unless one of the children adopts another child or two!😁
