Crafts and making stuff -- where do you draw the lines?

[flexagon]

4. Love it! This is my thing.

Graphic design, writing (poetry, stories, blogging), artistic programming (e.g., screensavers), knitting

3. I do or have dabbled in it.

beading, comics, cooking, cross-stitch, jewelry making, photography, quilting, sewing, calligraphy, pencil drawing, origami, video, zines

2. I'd give it a try.

baking, basket weaving, book binding, candle making, card making, charcoal and/or ink drawing, essay writing, glass blowing, pottery, soap making, tailoring, metalworking

1. I've got absolutely no interest.

Baking, balloon animal making, composing music, dyeing, doll making, felting, gardening, rug hooking, scrapbooking, spinning, tatting, weaving, crochet, macrame, mosaics, flower arranging, painting, carving...

I picked up this meme from someone's knitting blog,which I read voraciously whenever they post... uh, a friend. I'd rather talk about craft dabbling than mmmmmph -- that other thing! Because my mind is acting like a wombat on espresso things are a bit busy right now and I'd kill my grandmother for a week somewhere with nothing but my yoga mat and my high school calculus book... and maybe a big fat doobie it's nice to think about these things instead. Calm things, things that people do with their hands when they're not wondering if a lack of deep theoretical knowledge of hashmaps may even now be costing them the opportunity of a decade. What do you do? Come on... help distract me I'm curious.

It is a meme. It is my list. The meme is to write one's own list. :)

For some reason the email posting feature ate the rest of the post which was below the list... what the hell.

Also, wow, you've done a lot of knitting. Not many pictures of clothes though...?

True, that is a meme. I guess it could be reworked to make it more likely to be a viral meme.

As far as the knitting, I've done a lot, but I've been awful about taking photos of everything. Most of the clothes that aren't pictured are for my nieces and nephew so I should have photos of them wearing the clothes at some point.
