For some reason, the algorithms on a number of websites think that because I knit/crochet, that I also want to sew. Specifically, sew quilts. Craftsy, Instagram, Facebook all bombard me regularly with quilting ads. (I am not endorsing any of these services and I have not been compensated by anyone.)
I don't sew. It's not that I wouldn't like to have this particular skill, but I don't have the time to learn it on top of everything else I have to do, like a full-time job, writing, knitting, taking care of my dad, etc. I also would like to learn to draw--I signed up for a few Craftsy classes to do that--and I'm trying to relearn German. (I'd also like to learn Spanish.) Oh, and let's not forget the other online classes I signed up for and haven't started/finished yet that have nothing to do with anything listed above.
But if I had the skill to sew without making a hash of it, I pretty much can guarantee that I wouldn't be quilting. It holds no appeal for me whatsoever.
I never say never because I seriously never believed I'd be knitting and yet here I am, but I'd put the odds of my ever quilting at like 2%. The odds of my learning to sew maybe at 10%. Now it would be nice if the algorithms would figure this out and stop bombarding me.
