Crafting Update
Sun, Feb. 23rd, 2025 06:56 pmI've not been great about doing regular updates anywhere about anything and I want to catch-up at least what I've been up to crafting wise for the last month.

Knitting Meme
Tue, May. 21st, 2024 12:11 amI originally started this in January, then I restarted it at the beginning of March for National Craft Month and never got a chance to finish. I'm finishing & posting it now, but leaving the old text the same.
Because it is National Craft Month, I am doing a crafting “get to know you” meme. This was originally as a Pick a Number made by Flannelandpurls on Instagram. Because of that, it is pretty knitting oriented.
Snagged from Flannelandpurls on Instagram
1. Advice for beginners
Although I still think of myself as a beginner, (I’ve been knitting just over a year and a half), I think the best advice I can give is to buy tools as you need them. There are a lot of “must get” lists for beginners and honestly, most of them include specialized tools you may never use or items that just don’t suit how you like to do things or fit your storage needs.
My other advice for beginning knitters is to try both circular and straight needles. Knitting with them are vastly different experiences and most people have a preference. Most people also find knitting with circular needles much easier (I do find them hellish and only use them when a project would genuinely work better with them). You won’t know until you try them.
2. Favorite object to knit
Anything I don’t have to sew together later. I don’t mind sewing things together, as such, I just greatly prefer things to be whole already, once I’m done knitting.
3. Other hobbies
I have a lot of hobbies, maybe too many. The ones I am currently most active in are trying every crafting kit I come across in my price range, designing cards, watching horror movies, watching anime, writing, reading fanfics, trying all the board & card games at the library, painting, reading fandom memes, looking at fanart, creating gaming characters, researching whatever pops into my brain, watching video essays, listening to podcasts, listening to music, and I am in 3 book clubs.
4. Current WIP
My current knitting WIP is a set of hats. I’m on the third of three. There is much sewing ahead of me with them. (Since I wrote this, I have finished the knitting part of the hats and moved onto a wingspan shawl.)
5. An inspiring designer
As far as knitting goes, I don't really know any designers, but I've done a few of Nimble Needles patterns for beginners.
6. Best stash yarn
I’m not sure I have a best stash yarn. It’s either my set of “hygge” yarns (SO SOFT), which are for a specific blanket project, but I think I am going to have to order more to actually finish said project as the store I bought them from stopped carrying them, or I have a skein of “bright stripes” variegated yarn in Halloween colors that I have yet to find the right project for. Both are by Red Heart.
7. How you learned to knit
A combination of the Knitting for Dummies book from the library, YouTube videos, and spite.
8. Best knitting tip
Take notes! You think you remember where you are when you get back to your project two days later, but you are wrong. Also, some projects really benefit from marking on your knitting which side you left off on. Needle point covers are your friend.
9. Your “to-knit” list
Considering how I am with any sort of to-do list, you’d think this would be bigger, but the current “to-knit” list is just:
Continue working through the learn to knit projects in the book
The blanket the “hygge” yarn is for
A shawl that is a gift for a friend, but requires the left-over bits from the hat project I am working on before I can start
10. Go-to crafting snack
Decades of paper crafting have hardwired my brain that snacking while crafting is verboten. The oils on your hands can be detrimental to your materials to start with when your hands are clean, not to mention the possible irreversible damage of a food related accident. Knitting materials are obviously more forgiving, but old habits die hard. I do tend to have a drink on hand… way over there from where I am knitting.
11. Favorite make to-date
A massive shawl that reminds me of owl wings that required learning to do a lace knitting technique with bulky yarn and a baby blanket, who’s pattern I had to design myself. It took much trial and error and came out beautifully, but unfortunately, I was unable to give it to the intended recipient.
12. A knitting pet peeve
When the yarn knots in the middle of the skin while you are pulling. When a skein doesn't have a center pull.
13. Your yarn storage
My yarn is split between a cardboard banking box and an unusual plastic storage container from the thrift store free bin. There is also somewhat liberal use of 2 gallon storage bags with in those boxes as moisture is the enemy. (This has somewhat changed, as I was gifted a larger plastic storage tote with lid to put everything in since I wrote this.)
14. Inspiring IG accounts

There are a lot more, but this list is getting really long. Two people I want to mention that I can't find their names are the person crocheting an orgasm blanket, I am weirdly invested, and an art challenge account that signal boosts art challenges and prompt lists on Instagram.
15. A fun fact about you
I always hate this question.
16. Your project bag
Years ago, my mother picked up a Lions brand knitting bag when she was snatching up every reusable shopping bag she came across at garage sales, so when I started knitting she just pulled it out and gave it to me. It’s been quite handy, though I could use some better storage for notions within the bag. It’s a large heavy-duty green tote with a few specialized pockets.
17. Favorite fiber to knit
My budget (and local availability) has not allowed me to explore beyond acrylic blends so, I can’t really answer that question.
18. Dream holiday location
The first 3 that come to mind are Svalbard or Japan or Disney World (This is more about eating and attractions, and less about rides).
19. Skill you want to learn
There are so many, but I'd really love to improve my clothing sewing and prop making. (Which is multiple skills technically)
20. Biggest knitting ick
I haven’t really been knitting long enough to have one.

01. The last physical book or magazine you read.
The Bad Ones by Melissa Albert. It was for a book club I left, but wanted to finish the book anyway. (I'm still in 3 other book clubs.)
02. A piece of art.
Above the TV, I have a mini painting by a local artist that is a still life of a Chinese takeout container and a small bunch of red roses.
03. The view from your window.
The little park my street circles and the crowd flying in for an afternoon snack.
04. Something you've kept from childhood.
A small pewter cougar figurine I earned in Girl Scouts.
05. Your favorite mug.
It's a large mug with an orange cat stalking a fish in a fish bowl around it.
06. Your lockscreen/desktop wallpaper.
Bela Lugosi & Boris Karloff drinking together.
07. Something fuzzy.
My new pen. My aunt gave them out as party favors for her birthday. They are all gold with a giant puff ball at the end. Mine has a grey puff.
08. A piece of physical media.
A stack of DVDs I got from the library I'm watching my way through.
09. A tool you use in a hobby.
Knitting needles. Most of them are put away, but I have a set of wooden size 8s that live in my pen cup at my work table.
10. Something that makes you feel good.
A canister of fun sized packs of Sour Patch Kids. I found out about this hack of eating something really sour to fight off an anxiety attack and it actually seems to help.

Ivory Sculpture in Germany Could be World's Oldest

An Art Exhibit
Sat, Sep. 20th, 2008 11:16 pmThe exhibition's site:
Brooklyn Museum Exhibitions: Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition
June 27–August 10, 2008
2nd Floor
"Click! is a photography exhibition that invites Brooklyn Museum’s visitors, the online community, and the general public to participate in the exhibition process. Taking its inspiration from the critically acclaimed book The Wisdom of Crowds, in which New Yorker business and financial columnist James Surowiecki asserts that a diverse crowd is often wiser at making decisions than expert individuals, Click! explores whether Surowiecki’s premise can be applied to the visual arts—is a diverse crowd just as “wise” at evaluating art as the trained experts?"

The article I read on the exhibition:
Art or Not The Brooklyn Museum crowd-sources a photography exhibition.

A similar art experiment mentioned in the above article:
Most Wanted and Least Wanted Paintings
http://www.diaart.org/km/painting.html
I really wanted to talk about this article and exhibition when I first read it but was unable to. But I am bringing it to your attention now because it is still relevant and an interesting topic. And I was wondering about any of your opinions on the idea of art exhibitions being curated by the general public vs. curators, or anything else brought up by this post.

Beginnings 6/10
Tue, Sep. 18th, 2007 09:25 amArt walks and festival
I’m kinda bummed that I missed the Art Walk before last because Greg Noll was there! Live and in person. One of the galleries was featuring his sculptures. I was a little excited that even though he was only there for the one night that his sculpture would bee there all month so I could still see them. But I never made it. When ever I could go, the gallery wasn’t open. It seems as though all galleries keep ridiculous hours.
At the last art walk The featured artist at one of the galleries was Duncan Regehr. I actually don’t like a fair share of his work but I love some of his crow pieces. Especially Corvus Rex V, but I couldn’t find it on his website to show you. http://www.duncanregehr.com/main.htm During that art walk that was pretty much all we looked at. We also went to the show at the library that featured local political celebrities. It turns out, much to my annoyance, that the idiot that writes that horrible feature column every week that no one likes, is actually a very talented photographer. The only other thing of note was while we were walking through one gallery to get to another there was a Scottish artist talking about his work and he explained that he liked painting here because it reminds him of Scotland.
The Art Festival was better than I expected. The main things I remember where the "Grandpa's Toys" booth that had a lot of stuff like we would have for Rendezvous and the guy that was selling the hair twirls. I have no idea what they are actually called. They are these twisted pieces of metal for holding your hair back. I love them. I was the guy's hair model more than once. He said I had mermaid hair. He was a really nice guy that talked to us for awhile. Frankly I was more excited about the giant oyster I got for breakfast the second day than most of the booths. We also went to one of the "Antiques" malls. I was very surprised to see an erotic novelties booth. But now I have heard of glow in the dark bubbles and I am very fascinated. There was also a oxygen bar booth. Some booths actually had antiques and I fell in love with a little metal antique piggy bank but managed to refrain from buying him.

( If you don't click it how will you know? )
Wow that was long.

Here we go again
Mon, Apr. 2nd, 2007 11:40 pmOn Saturday I was running around getting ready to leave. I said good bye to everyone. When I was at my aunt's I found out that she will be a tribal elder on her birthday. On top of my errands I also went to the pirate shop, where i would spend far too much of my money if given the opportunity. I also went to a couple galleries. I am very fond of the work of Mary Amarcillo (I am very sorry if i spelt her name wrong), especially her pastel cats, Nancy Tuttle, Horst Wolf, and Liz James. I have to say though that my new favorite artist is Destiny Schwartz. Her work is on display at Eye for Art Gallery. She works in multiple mediums. The first piece I saw was a table Entitled "Hey Diddle Diddle." I really loved it. Then I saw a group of miniature sculptures that I just fell in love with. They also just happened to be by her, as well as some fascinating prints. Mom said some of her work reminded her of mine. If only I was that good. I also finally got my sister's package sent off AGAIN. This thing has been to Texas, Brookings, Eugene, and back to Brookings again. This time it is going to Arizona and lets hope it stays there. I also tried Ben and Jerry's Black and Tan ice cream. OMG! It is delicious.
Sunday was spent sleeping in the car as mom drove, as always. She was freaking out because we lost and hour somewhere. So then we went to lunch and grocery shopping and then she left. I took another nap. I called her and asked what time it was because if the clock in the car was right my clock was wrong. Apparently when mom was cleaning the car she accidently pushed the a clock setting button and changed the hour. So she freaked out and didn't do the shopping she wanted for nothing and who knows if she will ever be able to make it up here again before I move.
Today was my first day of classes. I had 1. It was at 8:30 in the morning yay. It was Islamic art and architecture. I then went out an bought the books for the class because we have a huge assignment due on wed. Then I took another nap. Cause Its my first day back at work! yay! And they still haven't figured out how to do mail right yet. Come on people! On the plus side there was an thank you note from Annie in my in box and people seem to enjoy their little surprise presents from me. No one know its was me! Except of course the people that ask me and can read my signature.
On an unrelated side note Elton John is now 60.
Well back to the insanity.
