I know but it's hard to comprehend starting with absolutly nothing, might buy Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray.

I did one embroidery piece in primary school, I loved it. I made one of those lame things that goes over the back of an armchair, but it looked good Happy

I like to crochet simple quick projects and have a few projects for left over skeins you may have. House decor items mostly. Pillow covers, table covers and kitchen towels. Mostly left overs from scarf and afghan projects.

I picked up two embroidery hoops from the thrift store a few weeks ago for .95 cents each. They had knitting needles, but I don't knit.

I make pillow covers from cotton skeins and use older pillows to stuff them. They look new again and sometimes I stuff two small pillows inside one cover to get a nice big one out of two old worn out ones.

Seriously don't!

I'll scan some stuff in for you, I found my old embroidery photocopied sheets from back when in college they taught us how to.

Ok well if you can't be dissuaded. Plus you know already all you need to know. I'm just all for originality.

I've been crocheting for about a year. I'm not totally an expert at it yet, but I managed to make a cute scarf for my fiance.

I taught myself to knit because I couldn't find another left handed knitter! I can knit and purl but now I want to know how to knit in the round to make some fingerless gloves! I can't find anything that explains how to do it! I want to be able to knit my own sweaters on day. I want to learn crochet. I used to do it, but it left me. I bought some hooks and I have scads of yarn so, I guess I will teach myself that too!

We don't quite... Like a dc for us is an sc for you. and a slip stitch for you is an 'sc OR a slipstitch' for us, which is completely ridiculous. I'd seriously reccomend learning American.

I can't follow patterns well at all!

Cat I wished I liked in Scotland full stop, I'm part Scottish! We used to go to Scotland all the time when I was little. A knitting group would be so much fun hahaha
