Because I did finger knitting for the craft challenge of the day yesterday, it seemed only fitting to also try finger crochet.

Try Finger Knitting {Craft Challenge, Day 123}
I love knitting with needles, of course, but it’s always kind of a fun trick to make familiar things in unfamiliar ways, such as with finger knitting.

Do Something You’ve Never Done Before {Craft Challenge, Day 119}
This is, in a way, a continuation of yesterday’s challenge to do something that scares you, at least for me. I wanted to keep playing with my serger, of course, so in a way just making something with my serger is a way to do something you’ve never done before for me. But I wanted […]
