[quote=Anonymous]I love to crochet.  I like a craft that is 'forgiving' in that you can make a mistake or two and it's not ruined.  Knitting was hard because it's hard to undo your work when you make a mistake and you can't just proceed along ignoring the mistake, which I sometimes do with crochet.

I took a pottery class and it was not for me!  One mistake and you have to start over!

I have tried a lot of different things.  Most art museums have little classes you can take -- either a one time thing or a series of classes.  You can try fiber arts, or glass blowing, or what have you and decide if it's for you.  Don't buy a ton of supplies until you figure out what your craft addiction is.

Also, many companies put together a monthly subscription where they will send you a different embroidery sampler every month or more yarn for another block of a quilt, etc.  That is a good way to get started.

Etsy also has great kits.  I also like sashiko which is Japanese embroidery.  I also tried Kantha which his Indian embroidery.  I get ideas from Pinterest as well. [/quote]
