My biggest challenge for sewing would be working with knit fabric. My biggest challenge for crocheting and knitting would be keeping the tension I’m using constant. My biggest overall challenge for all three would be having to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome, especially when wanting to work on projects with the limited time I have.

Eddie

December 28, 2018

My biggest challenge is completing the pieces that I have crocheted or knitted. I have all of these wonderful beautiful patterns and wish to do them all so I never complete the outfit.

Patti Z

December 28, 2018

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is trying to decide what material I want to use for the project I want to sew. I have so many thoughts in my head of what I think it should look like but take a very long time deciding which material to use. Most times I have to call my daughters and ask them to help me choose. They don’t like to sew but they are so good at knowing what material to use on my project and they have never failed me yet. Those projects always turn out looking gorgeous.

My biggest challenge is threading the sewing machine needle! My automatic threader doesn’t work anymore and my vision is poor due to diabetes so I have to wait until someone visits to help me.
