I tried crochet and failed miserably! Thus the balance of the world is maintained.
You got quite a bit done. I see a loaf of bread there on the coverlet...a true yarn lover.

I only got a little bit done on my project. DK yarn and too many stitches.
Looking good!
I know how to do none of the above (Well, I can sew a little but I wouldn't attempt to do anything but a straight line, lol)!The world of the fiber arts is a big one! Knitting, Crocheting,Tatting, Weaving, Spinning, Sewing, Macrame, Needlepoint, Cross Stitch, Embroidery,Dyeing,Machine Knitting, etc etc..it is endless!
Judging by the never ending knots in anything I own with a cord, I might actually be good at this. What is your idea to make?iPappy, you could try macrame, it is just making knots. I have a skein of the cord, a dowel and an idea, but haven't sat down to try it yet.

If you’re comfortable with the tension, it’s correct - it’s how you knit. You can go up a needle size if the fabric is tighter than you like. I knit DK yarn on 4.5mm needles regardless of what patterns say, because I like my fabric floppier rather than stiffer. Plus they’re more comfortable to hold.My issue with knitting is keeping the tension. I always seem to get it too tight.
With crochet, I can feel the tension as the tread passes through my hand as I make each stitch.
I love that!!!!!Ha Ha With me it is just the opposite. I found this patterns today and I thought I would make it in July..looks easy enough.
We'll see. https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/.../webp/Crochet_Poncho_Pattern6_small2.webp#JPG

I would love to have some company this summer if anyone wants to crochet along!
I used to do counted cross stitch. I stopped in 2005 when we got cats because I lost a needle and freaked out. I couldn't do it now, but I loved it back then. I was a bit ocd in that I wanted the back to look as good as the front. My sister was good at embroidery, but I didn't care for doing it. I was pretty decent at knit and crochet. Tried macrame once but didn't try too hard. Since I picked knitting back up during the lockdown, I've gotten back to being decent at it, but crochet is eluding me. I haven't tried that hard with it because I enjoy knitting, but I'll get back to crochet eventually, I think. For me, crochet is harder than knitting, but most people don't seem to agree with me on that one.I used to do a lot of needlepoint and cross stitch, and I have an embroidered pillowcase from my grandmother and a knitted blanket from my mother
