The last item I made was a quilt for a baby.
Did you put a name or applique on it using a satin stitch?
No. It was for my son. Just a basic blue white and grey quilt with different patterns.
Stitch names are so fun, I like "snowball blocks"
I've never heard of that stitch. I just complete basic stitches unless I'm crocheting.
It's fascinating how knitting uses pointed knitting tools whereas crocheting just uses a hook and is always handmade. 
Knitting can be done by a machine. Crocheting can't.
PowerTRC has made a knitting machine designed for kids which is a great way to get them interested in crafting.
I don't knit at all.
Have you sewed your own clothes or costumes?
