If you have no idea what fiber art to start with - as in, you aren't sure what you'll like, and don't have much of a clue - you should honestly start with a mixture of whatever piques your interest. Knitting needles and crochet hooks, at the least, are often very cheap per set brand-new, or you can look at secondhand stores if you want them cheaper (other fiber arts tools like looms may be more pricey, depending on what you want). If you can, look for classes such as a crafts class - a library might have something akin to this, some will have craft spaces with a variety of little crafters things.
There's sometimes this idea floating around that you are only permitted to do one craft at once - this isn't true. You are a multifaceted, complex person. It only makes sense, then, that your art is the same. Fiber art is an expression of one's humanity in its rawest form, no matter what you pick up. This goes for all art beyond the fiber arts, too! Art is an expression of your humanity. Let it express that ๐
#art#fiber art#every fiber art is good! they ALL have their place and their benefits. there is NO wrong decision to make in what medium of fiber you choos#i know for knitting and crochet especially that beginners aren't sure which to pick up...#...the secret is that you can pick up BOTH. you don't have to settle ๐#you might like one better than the other and that is okay too - but you don't have to pressure yourself to pick one#there's a handloom at this secondhand store and it's a german one so the instructions. are in german. but i want her................ loom <#i absolutely don't need it and i probably shouldn't get it but. loom. fiber. fabric#was watching a crochet vs. knitting video but i don't know if i always agree that you should pick one up and almost shun the other#there are ways to make it work out - it's going to work out!!
