Default THE EASIEST NEEDLEWORK TO LEARN

Crochet was easy for me to learn. At least it's an easy ripout.


I knit very similarly to crochet, IOW, I "pick" the yarn, rather than
"throw" it. Knitting rips out just as easily...you don't want to know
how I know! Lol!!

I never could knit well - lumpy-bumpy.
Embroidery can be tough to master.

And even tougher to rip out!

Tatting I never tried.

I haven't learned to shuttle tat (although I'd love to...there are some
beautiful shuttles I'm coveting!) but learned needle tatting a few years
back at a CATS show. I found it very similar in motion to crochet.

My problem with tatting is...what do you do with the stuff you tat? The
one thing I did tat was some insects to applique on Cheryl's hugs quilt
a few years back. I'm not into frilly edgings or doilies. Hmmm...
we're remodeling our living room so maybe some tatted arm/headrests for
the couch? I'll have to keep that in mind. We're getting a
wine-colored couch.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
