Evoluchet

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 by Mel

I was going to have Char update my progress bar on comprehension of this site… but after my last blasted attempt to post I am resigned to the fact I will remain at 20%. And THAT is why I love crochet, even when it goes wrong it goes right!

I can’t say if it is a definite new movement or if I am only just now aware of it but I do wonder what has brought people round to knitting/crocheting. It is now hippy chic seeminly more so in the last couple years. I love that it is popular, love the ooo’s and ahhh’s and interest to learn I get from people. I just wonder if it is part of the change in people becoming more grounded, more earth conscious, more tactile.

It seems to match up with the exec.’s that have been giving up the hubbub of city stress to start raising goats, vineyards and the like. People seeking out a way to slow down, use yourself directly to create and build. Being in the University the last few months I see less of it as the lot here are gogogo and are all in their heads and books and degrees but I saw it travelling and just wonder, is there a likemindedness and is that one word.

So I guess I’m free for S/B on Saturday. Where oh where should we yarn addicts untie? I vote on Sherwood Park, since it was part of the original mission statement ( ;) ). For those of you without transportation, some can be arranged, we’ve got some cars to go around :)

So possibly due to my dedication to my art! I am gimped on the right side.

I am endeavoring to re-program my brain to work leftly.

This awesome bag is what I will begin with in my new ways.

I’m doing a beading tutorial if you’re interested. So, I’ll go through methods and techniques. If you are interested, bring some beads, crochet thread or beading wire, and an apropriate size of needles or hook.

Saturday. Remedy? 1300hrs

Howdy all,

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting this Saturday, the 12th, at Remedy at 1?

I can’t make it on the 19 because I work, but I’d still love to see you all… Let me know if anyone wants to come.

Fat Cat in a Small jacket

I thought I’d post a picture I’d taken a few weeks/month ago. And it just so happens that it is a hommemade item :)

Woo Hoo! I figured out how to log in!

So, now that I am able to say something, what to say first?

Well, I made CAT COATS TODAY!!!

And by cat coats, I mean Dog coats, because no self-respecting cat will wear a coat, but nonetheless, they are rather cute.

I will post photos, but not now, as my camera cord has dissapeared into the void that is my sewing room.

But, here are some good links I was sent for crochet patterns:
