I learned to knit years ago & have made some beautiful shawls with the lacey stitches.....haven't done it in awhile, & not sure I really remember how...but know I would pick it right back up with a little coaching from an instruction manual.

Never got the crochet thing...for some reason, it wasn't something that I felt inclined to take to. Didn't really like the crochet look compared to knit I think.

I started a tapestry when I first got married....a huge medieval style picture.....wondering if I will ever get it finished......along with that, I really like latch hooking rugs. It's rather a mindless sort of thing, you just have to get the right color yarn in the right place.

My favorite craft is beading however. I love designing pieces of jewelry & then I love creating paterns to use with the seed beads. Not only to I get the fun of doing the craft, but it gives me the design thrill that I really enjoy.

If you google crafts on the internet, you will probably come up with some other ideas for crafts that haven't even been mentioned here. I have to agree with your T.....I find that doing crafts not only keeps my hands busy, but also my mind focused on something completely neutral.

Hope you come up with something really fun to do & find some fun projects...know it will be a wonderful experience.
