You're ahead of me, I can't knit or embroider, but it's mostly out of a lack of interest. ^^;; The only thing I'd want to knit is a really really long scarf.

*laughs* Curse that bench!

Learning to sew was also out of self-defence, I'm hard on my clothing and it doesn't hurt to be able to fix it instead of having to get new. There's a couple of patchwork skirts that I think of as 'pet projects', because the seams are always going, so I just patch them up while wandering around watching Xan.

Now I'm finding it's something I can barter with, patching up stuff and replacing buttons for people who can't handsew.
