    My biggest sewing challange is when I make a pattern for the first time and it doesn’t turn out, I keep going back again and again adjusting pattern, and remaking it until I am satisfied with it. When it is finally completed, I feel like I have accomplished something, even though it may have taken three times longer than it should have.

    My biggest challenge with crocheting is arm pain. I have several rips in my rotator cuff and crocheting or cutting by hand with scissors or any repetitive motion causes pain. I just try to speed my crafting over many days.

    My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is: When my boss retired I wanted to make her a quilt which I did, but the size of it was challenging by itself to find a place big enough to lay it down to layered it and to have every little star match. That was my biggest and hardest challenge so far. But I have to say it was so much fun and my boss really liked to receive the quilt.

    My biggest knitting challenge has been my charity knitting project for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Since I started this in the summer of 2017 I have delivered over 800 chemo caps and shawls. I can’t seem to stop because they have been so happily received—it just makes me keep knitting, despite the fact that I would love to be making my little doll things!!

Thanks to Pixie Faire, though, I’ve just purchased a pattern to knit doll socks, so I’m finally going to have a go at it!

    My biggest knitting, crocheting and sewing challenge is: deciding what to make. I have sewing patterns and fabric coming out of my ears! I’m blessed to have an awesome sewing room and sewing machine. My room is in total chaos because I tend to work on more than one project at a time. I get all these neat ideas and want to start them now! Don’t even get me started on unfinished projects, I have a wall hanging that says, "Queen of unfinished projects ".
    Maybe that will be my New Year’s resolution…to finish past projects to make room for the new ones. Happy New Year everyone!
