One of my many and various skills is crochet. I'm currently working on the biggest project I've ever taken on: a plus king size rainbow blanket. A gift, for my very dear friend who has been through a lot of awful health problems in the past year. I am almost done blue  I made the first stitch the day I found out she was sick, and I'm still at it  When I am finished, there will be millions of stitches and hundreds of hours represented in this blanket, but nothing will make me happier than to give it away for nothing but a smile |

Gorgeous, Sarah! I'm sure your friend will be touched beyond words at your labor of love for her.

It's so pretty! My grandma is a crochet machine - she thought me once and I tried but I gave up. But I think I need to take up a new hobby again soon...

One thing I really regret is turning down my great grandma's offer to teach me to crochet. She made beautiful things and I really wish I could have been able to carry in her beautiful pieces of art. Sarah that blanket is gorgeous!

I taught myself all my crafting skills off of youtube lol. If you want to learn, there are great instructional videos out there.

I also taught myself to knit via YouTube videos, Sarah, and people do pay me for my handmade items, Santa. It's an amazing feeling to have somebody like something I made enough that they will part with their hard earned cash for it.
