Just a start...

... So, I've never done a blog explicitly for crafts before... I'm a big-time crafter with anything having to do with string. As a child, I made string bracelets and lanyards... Now, I knit, crochet, cardweave, sew, basically anything you can do with string.

As time goes by, I'll start posting more regularly, but for right now, I've got three projects on the needle: Kilthose (my own pattern), a thneed (also my own pattern), and a pair of Fiber Trends Felted Clogs... I've done that last pattern before, as well as the thneed pattern (although that one's easy enough that a pure beginner could do it)... the kilthose pattern is based on the Clessidra pattern from Knitty.com, only it's just borrowing the basic stitches that were borrowed from Vogue knitting anyway. :) It's a pair of toe-up knee-socks (as opposed to the top-down that Clessidra is), with lots of cabling. Instead of having the increases on the sides, I have the increases going up the back. Oh, and I'm doing it as a short-row heel and short-row toe. Okay, so it's really my own pattern, I guess, just based upon the stitch charts on the page. I keep having to put it down, because after a while your eyes begin to bleed... Too many cables! The things I do for my husband... :)

So, that's all for now. I'll start putting things in as I begin to take pictures...
