Obviously I am also an all different types of crafts person, but I’ve chosen to embrace it. If I go my entire life at the “ambitious beginner/intermediate” level for all of the crafts I do, that’s just fine with me. I don’t shy away from deepening my skills in one particular area, but to me, the whole point of hobbies is to learn new things, so I’m not going to limit myself from bouncing around as much as my little heart desires.:grinning:

Here’s a UFO I forgot about. I bought the yarn (two balls of it) to use to possibly teach my niece how to loom knit. I just wanted to get an idea of gauge.

My MIL’s family has a huge Christmas party every year. It was suggested that next year, the crafty members of the family bring some handmade items to sell - a nice way to support our cottage businesses and gift handmade at the same time. I’ll add this hat to my stash of items to save for that. I think a lot of my destash crafting will end up there.
