    All my knitter friends say 'not hard at all' and knit beautifully without even thinking. I tried and was terrible at it.
    Do you have a sewing machine? How about dog beds and igloos, and sell them at craft fairs and on ebay and etsy.

    It's not hard at all. If you have a local craft store, they may offer lessons. Crocheting is another idea. You can make scarves, hats, etc.

    There are people who knit caps for newborns. There's a group that sews simple dresses for little girls in, I think, Africa. I'll Google a bit when I turn on my pc (am on a Kindle right now), and post links to groups that sew and knit and crochet for special projects.

    Yay!!! Please post again, and answer some questions here along the way. Just watch the dates so you don't respond to questions that aren't very recent. People tend to post a question, then disappear into the ether.

    Members can give you high fives (reputation points, or "greenies") that don't mean too much except say you're giving helpful answers. There's no prize after x number of them. And please don't reply to questions more than a month, or even a week!!!!, old.
