Just curious. I crochet a bunch, newly including Tunisian crochet. Tried knitting but that shit’s hard, and slowwww. Might use my knitting skills for super small stuff like washcloths, but I doubt I’d have the patience to create anything bigger.
Crochet, though. Crochet is dope. My favorite thing to make is scarves. They’re nice and easy but useful and usually don’t require you to count stitches like hats and other circular things do. I donate a lot of scarves and the occasional hat or blanket to local mutual aid organizations.
I may post some pics of my crochet later on, but atm I’m at work and can’t do so.
I’ve been playing with spinning using a Turkish drop-spindle. It’s really fun! I have no grace nor elegance and my yarn is full of slubs, but making single ply and double ply with the drop spindle has taught me so much about yarn in general.
Take a look at “Snyder Spindles”. They have many different kinds and they are well made. https://www.snyderspindles.com/ There are also lots of instructions out there on how to make your own.
Thanks for the tip and the encouragement! Drop spindles do look a lot more accessible than the big spinning wheels, and I have some wool roving left from my attempt at felting. Maybe I can try spinning sooner rather than later
