Introduction

//A// **//craft//** //involves making something, and it is an activity one can learn and practice. Knitting,crocheting, weaving, quilting and embroidery are common 'needle crafts' involving the making of garments or other things made of fabric. Jewelers, calligraphers, woodworkers,bakers,cake decorators and cooks are other familiar craftspeople. But this wiki will also discuss activities not always immediately identified as crafts, which make less tangible items such as plays and poems, songs and dances.//

The first crafts I learned and practiced were **playwrighting** and **directing** (aka 'make believe') **cursive handwriting** in elementary school, **spool knitting**, and **doll house making** (out of paper boxes because my mother refused to buy me a Barbie Dream House.)

Many decades later, my favorites haven't really changed. Now I teach English, write plays, knit, keep a journal in a notebook, and try to run a household.
