Spring Crafts

There are a handful of spring crafts that anyone can do.  Some may take more time  then others, but all are fun and a reward within themselves.

First UP: Needlepoint

Needlepoint is something that anyone can do.  Like many crafts, they can be as simple or as complicated as you want.  There are different stitches and techniques that come with them.  Consider needlepoint knots.  Some are simple, like when you start a project, others are not that simple.

 

If you’re a beginner, make sure that you’re looking at doing the basic stitches first, and then as you master those, add the more complicated ones.  Yes, it’s that simple.

Some things that you can needlepoint:

Knitting!

Knitting is all about the knit and pearl stitches.  Everything is build off of them, and based on them.  Like with Needlepoint, knitting can start simple and then progress as your skill and comfort level do.

 

Crocheting:

With crocheting, you’re making all kinds of fancy Knots, you can make hats, blankets shirts really a never ending list of things.  Crocheting also follows the path of simple to hard.  Once you have the basics in your belt, you can go to the next level.  Unlike knitting, you don’t use needles, but rather a crochet hook.  It’s that hook that you pull the thread through and around.
