Hi. I crochet. . . a LOT. I post pictures and like to have discussions about crochet and crafting in general. If you have questions, I'm happy to answer them. So hang out for a while and take a look at all the yarn.
I've been completely out of the crafting game for a while. I burned myself out, taking on too many projects all at once. But the other day I decided to jump back into my crafting and WOW! I fucking love knitting and crocheting!!! So here's to new beginnings with old hobbies!
“The ceramics teacher announced that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pounds of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work-and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.”

Okay guys, I’ve been thinking and I’ve decided it’s time to actually grow my brand. I think it’s time for a name change and a shift in perspective on my blog. Don’t worry it’s still going to be a lot of the same knitting and crochet stuff you’ve come to know and hopefully love, but I want to branch out and start doing some other things too. But I really want to keep you guys involved and so I want your help in deciding on a new name for the blog. I am going to come up with a list of names and put up a pole that you can vote on to help me decide what my new name shall be. Keep an eye out in the next few days for the pole and if you have any really good ideas on names for my blog feel free to shout them out and they might make my list.
