PenPal Readers discussion

For all you PenPals who love to craft, here's a group thread to connect with eachother and make some new PenPal friends based on common interests!

Anyone remember when Rory (Gilmore Girls) went to Yale only to realize she was rooming with Paris... and Paris' craft corner? 🤣

"She's a craft person now, so it's not safe to leave anything around her anymore."
"Maybe that's where crafty comes from."

I'm def in that category - I like to try a bit of everything. What does everyone else work with?

I used to watch The Gilmore Girls all the time. Loved that show. And yes she was definitely a crafter as am I too 😊
I do crochet. At the moment I’m working on two blanket projects. I’m not even half way yet 😂 but I’m getting there!
I also love making things. Whether it be models or ceramics and mosaics. I was into diamond paintings for a while. I still have that project going too!
I like any kind of art really but I am a drawer. I used to sketch all the time. Usually doing book covers!

I'm a needleworker. I do cross stitch and belong to a group that meets monthly. I have also made patchwork quilts. Making one for my nephew right now as he is moving into his first home.
I used to do a lot of dressmaking, hoping to get back to that this year as I have a new job with less hours and less travelling time.

I'm a knitter. I love making scarves, mittens, hats, and shawls. I am currently working on my first bottom-top sweater in pieces with finishings of buttons.

I crochet! I prefer making lace but have made apparel, blankets, and stuffed animals as well. The only thing I enjoy as much as crochet is definitely sending and receiving letters!

I love cross-stitch and tapestry and am starting to weave. I really want to knit and crochet one day too.

I create handmade komboloi - fidget/worry beads - as well as bracelets from semiprecious gemstones, glass, and other special materials. I also enjoy making paracord knotwork bracelets and key fobs.

Wow, how do you make those? I'd love to see pics of your work!

Melanie - I would be happy to send you pics of the komboloi, but I do not see that I can post here. And I don’t see that I can send them in a message. You might know a way! But if you have a way you would like me to send them, I will. Thanks!
