I taught myself to knit years ago, much younger than I am now. I didn't like it so I stopped, same with crochet and cross stitching. I figure I learn things when the time is right.

Swim. I wish I knew how to swim. We lived in an inner city situation and had no exposure to pools.

We should start foreign languages in grade schools when our minds are more flexible!

I really wish I had gotten my Phd. Now I live to far from a university to go and I've been retired for so many years that I probably wouldn't have the energy to do all the walking over the campus. LOL

I always wanted to play the piano. We always had one in our house but my Mother was the only one who could play it.
i used to crochet when I was about six but have forgotten what ever i knew about and i never knitted. I keep saying I will learn both one day.

Swim. I had two weeks of lessons at age 9. I fear water that is deeper than I am tall. My children learned as babies and have no fear. Guess why?

I actually can do a lot of different crafts. I quilt, knit, do needlepoint, counted cross stitch, embroidery and sew and crochet. I can't really think of anything that I wished I learned when I was younger.
