7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin? I love to dye yarn, bead, sew, quilt, and scrapbook. I do spin, but I am not thrilled with my progress on the drop spindle and I am trying to talk my hubby into buying me a spinning wheel for christmas this year.

I know what you mean about lots of UFO's , one day I shall count up all of the bags of knitting that are just begging to be finished ( some just need sewing up ) and just possibly frighten myself half to death , but in the meantime, happy knitting.
