Hmm...I don't think I've ever met a craft I didn't like. However, I
have to say that embroidery of any kind is my favorite. Thus,
cross-stitch, needlepoint, crewel, smocking, feltwork, needle punch, knitting,
crochet, and quilting have all taken their place in my repertoire of pleasurable
activities to do with my hands.
