QotD: I Don't Mean To Brag, But...
Do you have an unusual talent that you are ridiculously proud of? If so, what is it, and why the smug look on your face?

I can crochet with very fine thread... i've made lace doilies with sewing thread, and for a while I even made 1:12 scale ones with lacemaking thread (which is finer than sewing thread).
It's completely useless because no one even really uses lace anymore. Occasionally I make them for people (or just for the hell of it) and give them away, or add them to my stash of things waiting for homes. It's therapeutic, sometimes, to do something that's basically repetitive and not too mentally taxing. I like the idea of keeping alive a craft that was well-known in my grandmother's generation, but is much less known now.
