About "Crafting"

The active verb “crafting” now seems to embrace the entire world of knitting and crocheting, scrapbooking, sewing, working needlework with beads so infinitesimally tiny that I’d need another pair of glasses to see the pattern correctly.

However, I’m on the verge of completing my first project…it’s a “cat blanket”, and guess what…I’m about done with those crocheted motifs, and now I get to learn how to put them together, and do a nice edge to make it look really cool.

I’m a “crafter-in-progress”, I guess. My first inclination would be to sew all of my motifs together with a tapestry needle, but I think I’m going to try the single crochet method instead, just to learn that skill.

Which would give me “Crafter Creds”, yo! ;)

And, then I’ll have to get back to my original project…that giant Queen sized-bed afghan that I’m making for my boyfriend with "Koigu"...handpainted superwashed merino wool.

It’s the same motif, it’s just smaller work with a tinier hook, but that’s all good.

Anyway, while I’m working on putting my cat blanket together, I’ll be taking pictures, and posting the results here, so keep a look out if you’re another “crafter-in-progress”!

I know I’m going to make mistakes, but that’s half the fun of creating something.
