You can also make scarves, blanket squares, and even blankets or wall hangings using the round looms.
A great resource for this is www.loomknittinghelp.com Shelley L. Rhodes, M.A. CVRT and Ludden black Labrador Guide Dog.The cure for anything is salt water -- sweat, tears, or the sea. -Isak Dinesen (pen name of Karen Blixen), author (1885-1962)

You use beads safety pins and crafting wire and can make a few different patterns. I know one woman who sells them at craft shows and they are popular. The nice thing is they are easy and easy to adapt. If interested I can send directions.
There are also hand looms for weaving, tin punching, and the standard knitting and crochet, plaster or dough ornaments.
I feel like I am 90 some days but personally my favorite crafts are photography and painting. I think I am more talented now that my vision is worse than when in school.
