Handwork
Long before youtube, I taught myself to crochet and knit out of tiny booklets purchased from the craft store. Decades later, I have added many new techniques to my repertoire and am still excited to learn new ones. Below are examples of my handwork, including crochet, knitting, applique, darning, visible mending, macrame, sashiko, cross stitch, and embroidery.
