I was never attracted to the hobby-type stuff. Takes too much time and patience to be really good at it. Then, my mother-in-law wanted to go look at what someone had told her was a quilting machine. When we got to it, we discovered it wasn't for quilting, so she wasn't at all interested.
Hanging above the machine was an amazing dress. I learned it had been made on a knitting machine for a Miss Oklahoma contestant. The lady who was selling the knitting machine ensured me I could make that very same dress without having to know anything about knitting. I was intrigued. Thirteen machines later....but, that's another story. Later.
