I made a matching living room pillow and blanket set to stave off boredom one winter and it’s much fancier than anything I could’ve purchased. Plus bag holders, chair pads, sweaters, etc. It’s such a useful skill, right up there with sewing!

Yes! eventually I want to get my brain to understand knitting again for items that don't translate well to crochet but I'm not quite there yet. I've got a pretty good handle on sewing, just have to find a good machine and learn it. its feels great to not rely on stores for so many things and have the ability to remake things on my own rather than contribute to further waste!
