I crochet. Never quite got the hang of knitting. It was always either too loose or too tight, and I kept dropping stitches.
I'm almost done with an afghan I started for my daughter in January. I only work on it on occasion at night and when we go camping. I think I have about 7 rows left before it will be long enough for her. It's an "around the post" stitch, with two colors, so it's kind of tedious.
I try to get yarn when it's on sale. But the yarn my son wants for his next afghan rarely goes on sale. (He wants an afghan, not a quilt..go figure!) I'll probably be using my JoAnn's coupon for it soon.
