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!

Have you added to your life’s work?

Oh yes, absolutely

Since 2018, quite a few new patterns have made their way into my shop. Many ideas have been brought to life. Many wishes have been fulfilled. 

I can’t even count all my craft projects, and I don’t even remember many of them anymore. 

But I still have my very first knitted and crocheted pieces that I made together with my grandma

Oh my, 😲 I don’t think I can even come up with a number. 🤭 Sweaters, jackets, amigurumi, doll clothes (not just for my dolls—I’ve also dressed my dearest neighbor’s dolls, both small and large), pompom crafts, other crafts, paintings on jars and also on white T-shirts, on stones and on wood, blankets for doll strollers, knitted and crocheted sofa pillows, etc., etc. Many things were given away—I really can’t keep track of it all anymore, but it must have been a lot. 😇

Good question, next question☺️🤔 I’ve been doing crafts for about 50 years—just the things I’ve made on the sewing machine alone are beyond counting. Not to mention embroidery and knitting—that’s beyond counting too😁😁

Best regards, Inge

No, I don’t think I can count them all either—I’ve managed to finish quite a few over the years.

Only the gods know that—and no one else. 

No idea.

Just think of everything I made back in school.

And then there was the crochet doily phase. I still have some lying around, waiting to be given away.

And the gifts for Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, aunts, and so on and so on.

And now, in recent years, the Amigurumi and the triangular shawls, scarves, stoles, and so on.

I can’t even put a number on it.

Then there are the UFOs.

🙈🙈🙈

Phew, enough. Better not think about it.

☺️😈☺️😈☺️😁😁
