Getting Ready to Get Crafty
Jan
22
Okay, so I'm hosting a crafty day on Sunday at my place and this weekend is going to be spent cleaning, making cake-pops, revising The Barking Dog and doing things with yarn. I'm excited! Yes, it's really domesticated like, but oh well! Was mildly frusterated to not find the candy melt I needed at the other Wal-Mart, but I found GREEN candy melt! I found that entertaining and might play with it a bit... Also bought some more sprinkle options which are more Easter like in the colors but it's all about variety!!!
And then.... I found yarn. I know I should start buying really quality yarns - but I'm still learning a lot so I don't think buying expensive stuff is justified - yet.
Okay! Time to get a little more cleaning and reading done before crashing!!!!!

About Me
- Cid
- Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!

If you only knew the proportion of acrylic to everything else in my stash...
Seriously, I know I posted about knitting blanket squares out of all my acrylic, but I really, really like Simply Soft yarn, too. It is good yarn for stuffed things and for accessories that you don't have a particular need for warmth in.
So, yeah. I still buy my fair share of acrylic, too. And I've been doing this for... seventeen years? If you count from when I first learned.
LOL! Yeah, I have some stuff that was Caron recycled knit somethingorother and it's so super, super soft and I really like it. And hey - this is Texas - we don't always need things to be so extremely warm :P I think I'm learning how to knit headbands today. I'm rather excited ^__^
