People say I’ve been a bit distracted lately. I don’t know what they’re talking about.

Crochet Tutorial – Getting Started!
March 16th, 2009 
mio I’ve started working on a project that I’ve had in mind for a while now: creating thorough tutorials on every aspect of crocheting. My hope is that someone will find this useful, and that people will feel free to ask any question, no matter how silly, because in answering these questions we end up with a more exact tutorial. And that’s a good thing!
Today I’m going to cover picking yarn and a matching hook, how to make a slip knot, and how to hold the yarn while crocheting. If you already know these things, take a look at the pretty slippers I made myself for work:

subtle shift
February 28th, 2009 mio I’m a somewhat predictable person. Almost to the point of boring. I like to eat the same (or similar) thing, at the same time every day. I have cereal for breakfast, preferably something with “Frosted” in the name. I eat lunch at 11:30am. I get the same thing every time I go to a restaurant. (Anyone familiar with Big Bang Theory is picturing Dr. Sheldon Cooper right now. I like to think I have better social skills than him. I’ll let you decide that, though!)
I always get to bed at a decent hour. Always. I need 8 hours of sleep in order to function at peak efficiency. Even on the weekends, I don’t like getting too far out of my sleep routine for fear of not being fully awake on Monday morning.
So, I think you’ll join me in finding it extremely weird that for the last week or so I’ve been going to bed late.
What’s been keeping me up?
This:
And this:
And this:
I didn’t think anything would be more important to me than the proper amount of sleep, but there it is. Crochet as moved up to the top of my priority list. It seems like a natural progression, but it also seems a bit weird. If that makes any sense.
This week won’t be any better, since I just acquired the following:
I’ll post a picture tomorrow of what I’m working on with those. ^_^
