I spend a lot of time playing the viola, both in orchestra pre covid and by myself.

I also love thread work like needlepoint lace and crochet and I want to take up tatting soon. There are loads of different forms and you can do so much with it and there are loads of different styles for different uses.

Fabulous! Have you ever been interested in learning traditional methods? If so, you should search for historical reenactments in your areas as most of them will offer it, along with other skills like cooking, leatherworking, blacksmithing, stitchwork, craftsmanship, etc. It's not for everyone, but most groups will attend events around different castles/villages in the UK where people from across the country come to meet and craft together.

It's amazing when you see it. You should consider visting a local event in your area for the day, there's loads of people to talk about this with and ask questions to. For those who like crafting, the whole day is pretty much sitting in a tent, speaking to people (or not if you don't want to) and crafting all day. Some people sell what they make to visitors.

could u open a discussion on knitting/crochet/tatting/lace---- things like that - havent seen one for years-  I could open it for u if u give me a title
