As my way of introducing myself and my brand spanking new journal, here's my current work in progress, the Lotus Blossom.

So thanks for letting me introduce myself and yes, I'd certainly appreciate having some LJ friends and followers.  Hope you like what you get to see grow.

In honor of our recent trip to Hawai'i. Knitted tube top and knitted/crocheted leaf-skirt. =)

Check out more photos of her here (essentially my sewing/creativity blog). If I'm not allowed to link to outside blogs, please let me know and I'll remove it immediately.

I knit much more than I crochet, but I let out a cheer when I saw a TV news article about this lady yesterday.

I'm hopefully going to be trying to teach my sisters how to crochet. Does there exist a website like knittinghelp.com for crochet? It would probably be helpful for them if they have questions and I'm not available. TIA!

I'm planning/hoping to knit some sort of security type blanket thing for my newest baby.  But I can't decide what would be a good yarn choice as far as fiber goes.  I'm trying to choose something from my stash.  I was thinking either a soft wool (if I can find one, I tend to find almost all wolls scratch to an extent, even merino), cotton (Bernat denim style), or microfiber (Lion Brand microspun).  Would any one be a better choice than another?  Any thoughts?

I am a geek as well as a crocheter. I read comics and game a little. So this Sluggy Freelance comic today TOTALLY cracked me up. I had to share ;).

anyone still active here? what do you say we make an attempt to get this party going? :-)

I've been terribly busy the past few months with school and children and all, but I am now on a ten week long summer break and have LOTS of time for knitting and crochet! I've started up a Swedish blog, it seemed relevant since all my knitting schoolmates are Swedish, and I've joined raverly as fishbonette. What's you name on ravelry?

Latest project was a knitted cardigan for my dog Florence, and my first ever stich markers (I'm in love)

After 5 winters in New York State I have to accept the fact that my cheap hats or really old acrylic hats just aren't going to cut it. So I made a double sided Tychus(from Knitty).

( To the hat..Collapse )

i've got some baby yarn leftovers and stuff i won't use.  can i make a for sale or trade post here?   i hate having it just sit here.  but figured i should check before making the post.  :-) 

I was just shopping on Joann's website for the Lion Brand Prayer Shawl book, and discovered sales!! I got a bunch of Vanna's Choice for my ami for $1.99/skein, AND knitting and crochet books are like 20% off. Looks like lots of yarn is discounted. AND there's an online coupon for free shipping for, like, another week or so. Yeah!!
