Please count along: How many handmade projects have you already made in your life? With recognition for your lifetime achievement :-)

Dear users, dear designers,
just roughly speaking:
How many handmade projects were there in total? Of course, you can count UFOs separately.

Would you maybe like a "Lifetime DIY Award" / recognition for your lifetime achievement in crafting? Or have you had your fill when it comes to honorary titles?
But when it comes to handmade projects, you’re definitely not satisfied yet.
So please keep going diligently, for example here with the Heinzelmännchen.

Let me know.

This award is for people of all ages.

Phew, there’s no way I can count them all! There are sooo many: knitted, crocheted, sewn (even a coat!), embroidered, woven… At first, I made almost nothing but clothing (including doll-sized items), but right now I’m crocheting and knitting accessories and little animals.

Some of the things I’ve made are no longer in my possession.

Among other things, I’ve made a knitted two-piece set consisting of a skirt and a sweater, a knitted coat, a seamless knitted sweater—which required lots of needles—and a sweater using the double-face technique. Back then, the technique had a different name.

I also ventured into sewing once or twice.
That resulted in a leather vest and a pair of pants.

For a while, silk painting was all the rage.
I still have some of those scarves.

Now I’ve focused on knitting and crocheting.

Sorry, but I really can’t answer that question—there are just too many!
And there will surely be sooo many more :) 

Over the years, I’ve lost track, and if I tried to list everything, I’m sure I’d forget half of it....
There were lots of sweaters and shirts—knitted and crocheted—several jackets and ponchos, shawls, scarves, infinity scarves, hats, wrist warmers, socks, pillows, a huge number of amigurumi and dolls, as well as various little items (flowers, stars, and appliqués).

Since I’ve been doing crafts for almost 50 years, there’s no way I can answer that question. There are definitely countless projects, and the number keeps growing. 

Yeah, that’s a good question… I, too, have been doing handicrafts for a good 50 years. It’s impossible to put a number on it. But I still remember my first sweater for myself (after quite a few pot holders and doll dresses, etc.), which I knitted when I was about 12 years old. Garter stitch, with the sleeves knitted on straight, and made from 100% synthetic wool. It was one of those thick 500-gram skeins. It always crackled when I wore the sweater. But I loved it.
But I’m getting off topic…

Best regards, Caro

I don’t know, honestly!

So, how’s your life’s work coming along?
