Not sure if weaving will help, but glad you're enjoying the process :) On sewing, I'm not fond of patterns but do use them -- although for SCA stuff a lot of times I just have partial patterns for the important bits, like the bodice, and then just measure body parts and go from there. Some things I find incredibly easy to do and others... not so much.
Also, some patterns have better directions than others.
I wish we could have sat down for crocheting too, but it was a pretty full schedule most of the time. I think once I've sat down with someone it will all work out fine. It was interesting watching you at BTW last November... I could almost understand what you were doing. So I'm sure there's hope for me yet :)
I've only made one attempt at knitting in the round and then got busy with other things. So this will be attempt #2, with supervision. Left to my own devices I invent things that sort of work, but I'd like to try to actually replicate some of the things I've seen in the books we have :D Fortunately L is very good both with understanding books and with explaining things.
