That's often when I'll switch to crochet, too...in the evening when the
lighting isn't so great - either the room lighting, or the synapses in
my brain lighting! Somehow I can crochet almost half asleep, when
cross-stitching becomes impossible to concentrate on.

Knitting is great when there's little or no light -- in the car while on
long road trips is another good environment (DH driving, not me!).
Crocheting too; but I sometimes reach that "drowsy point" where I can't
do either one!

Confession: the drowsy point for counted cross-stitch is reached much
faster than the d.p. for crochet, knitting, reading, eating chocolate

Silk ribbon embroidery, soft sculpture (aka art dolls), and anything that
requires a paint brush.

I took a class last fall using a triangle loom. I made a shawl as my
Christmas gift to my lovely English hostess. I really want to invest in
one of those looms and learn to do more things than just shawls with
it. And the beads... but obviously I'm not fighting that one.. I'm
becoming more and more interested in making my own glass beads, but
since it involves a mini blow torch, I'm a wee bit hesitant. I've been
shown knitting, but it just doesn't stick with me. Although, since I
was shown how to use those shorter, circular needles, I'm more
interested in trying again. But since the temps are reaching triple
digits, it's a thing that has to wait for fall.

And as a catch up on the cat, I'm in Ft. Worth right now after about 6
hours of driving, with four more to go tomorrow. The Vet seems to think
it's mostly just "because she's old", and since I've told him she IS
eating, he's going to give her a very rich canned food and see what
that does (of course, *I* can tell him, if it's that rich, she'll wolf
it down, then promptly throw it back up, but I'm just her Person, not a
trained vet!).Bless his pointy old head, my Vet is a wonderful man, but
he would much rather never deal with anything smaller than a mule! He's
80+ years old, has been around all my life ( we were neighbors when I
was a kid) and has always preferred large animals over small. That's
not to say he won't do everything he can to help her out, but his
"bedside" manner is sometimes a bit lacking in encouragement. Ah well,
we'll see what happens...

Took two classes that involved needlepoint - not just the continental
stitch stuff I've done in the past, but actually involved frames and
different size needles and threads. Sigh. If it involves a needle and
thread, why fight it?
