My biggest challenge for sewing, knitting, and crocheting is finishing what I start! I’m always so excited to get started on the next project, that I have a hard time finishing the first ones. I always have multiple projects going on at once! Which brings me to my next challenge…..keeping (or rather, getting) my supplies and space organized.

My biggest challenge for sewing, knitting, and crochet is organization. I have just inherited a sewing room since my daughter moved to Japan (I will have to give it back next year when she returns for her senior year of high school). It is upstairs and after 27 years of being unable to use stairs due to childhood onset arthritis, because of a knee replacement; I am able to go upstairs where we set up my sewing machine. But much of my sewing is still done downstairs, primarily cutting out patterns on the kitchen island. So I need to organize well enough so I am not going up and down the stairs unnecessarily which may result in tendinitis.
Organization is my primary challenge .

My biggest challenge is putting the items I’ve knit together professionally. I can knit easily, even tackling fairly complex patterns, but when it comes to joining seams, everything looks awful! I’ve watched videos, taken a couple of finishing classes, but I’m never convinced that the seams are neat looking. But I’m working on this, and hopefully one day…

My biggest challenge with my sewing,knitting and crocheting is finding the materials to make the project. The yarns are easier to find than the fabric. To get good quality fabric I must drive 30-40 miles away and since the route is very hilly and prone to snow issues at this time of year, I can’t get fabric easily enough to keep me sewing. Love the boy doll!
