[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ: What new craft would you like to learn and how will you go about doing this?

[Annette Carr]

Well, learning how to crochet is definitely doable, especially since you
have the support from the members of Krafter's Korner.  But when it comes to
coping with the Attitudes of others, remind yourself that you are learning
this new thing for yourself, and not to please them.  Don't set yourself up
to adhere to a strict timeline when learning a new craft.  You are not
obligated to love or even like something after trying it.  You might find
that it is the best thing in the world, or you might find that it is just
not a good match for you.  But no matter the end result, you learned
something, and there will come a time where you can apply that knowledge.
Even if it is to say, I'm not good at X, but if you do that part, I can do
Y.  Life is all about each of us doing our part, no matter how big or small.
So if you learn to crochet items with very intricate stitches great, or how
to make the chain stitch on your finger and not with a needle, grate again.
If we all liked every food we tried, it would be a very boring world.

Happy crafting,
Annette

I'd like to learn crochet. Yes I get anxious about others opinions of what I
can or cannot do.
