Knitting/crochet/tatting
I imagine there may already be a thread for this, but string folks often like to just have a communal string fest and chat. no pressure, no sweaters (too big and too hot) so can we meet up for string therapy?

Looking forward to crafting with you all!
With all things new, most people are afraid of failure, and this fear puts up mental blocks. I tend not to suffer from this so just go into it blithely and what do you know I can do most things I turn my hand to well enough for my needs.
@St_Trousers - they're scary because I cant read the pattern! I've never had any formal training, and some of the abbreviations are incomprehensible. And hard to pick up from a 2D book Sometime having someone show you makes a big difference.
@St_Trousers - don't knock crocheting; you can do some really cool things with it. (All links are to my own projects on Ravelry or Flickr.) Much as I like knitting, crocheting is way more versatile.
Oh...I hadn't even thought about bringing my drop spindle. I'm not an expert but I'm happy to help.
I'm also happy to help anyone who needs some help knitting socks. I'll try to remember to throw in some extra needles and yarn is someone wants to learn.
Hmm...more stuff to pack. Maybe I can wear the same pair of capris all week.
@frithuswith (and anyone else interested in learning) - I'll be happy to teach you how to crochet if I'm able to make it; I'll make sure to bring some hooks and extra yarn.
@stitchinthyme, hope you get better soon!
