I never realized how boring the internet can be when my friend Lunchbox isn’t on for dorky discussions about all the things we’re hardcore nerds for.
Anyhow, I think I’ve reached a sort of milestone as a crocheter, I guess. I’m working on my first true crochet commission, for my friend Vero. It’s a scarf, and [...]
I’ve been productive. Usually when I think about what to write in this thing, I think to myself, “There’s nothing interesting going on. I’m not doing anything.” But then I realized I’ve done quite a bit since my last blog entry.
I’ve been doing some writing of a cooperative sort and it’s been inspiring me to [...]
Since I’ve really started crocheting (and slowly learning to knit), I’ve only ever bought yarn from places like Michaels, Joann’s and Walmart, because they were close and affordable.

It’s currently invite-only beta, so I can’t directly link to anything anyone would be able to access, but it is a dream come true for me. Patterns, topical social networks and a way to organize and keep track of my [...]
I had a feeling this would happen when I decided to pick up crochet as a hobby, but I somehow thought I’d be better able to balance it against my other crafts and pastimes. Guess I was wrong!
Crochet has become an obsession. I scour the internet for interesting patterns I feel confident enough to tackle. [...]
I first learned some basics to crocheting from my paternal grandmother during one of my visits up in Washington state. Essentially, I learned how to start with a slipknot and how to chain, but that’s about it.
Last autumn, I started to pick it up again and bought myself some basic supplies and a book for [...]
