Those are all awesome. My sister took up knitting one year because she needed to know how to do it for a play she was in. I ended up with several odd looking scarves. There is one I actually wear out in public. It coincidentally matches an old pair of purple-ish leather gloves I took from my mom.

I used to do cross-stitch, when I was about, erm, 10. I was put off any further sewing, knitting, crocheting in the 7th grade when I made a great sweatshirt for my mandatory home economics class and the teacher lost it, then gave me a B- for the class because she couldn't find my sweatshirt to grade it.

No. No, I don't hold grudges at all...
