cl-awesome; an i.d. crafting update. woo.

yes, i have been doing crochet. i'm so unbelievably rock n' roll.

but please noone think for a minute that a) i am fashioning cozies for yorkshire terriers, or b) that i am any good at it whatsoever. no.

when out shopping with my sister, we fawned over a pale blue crochet thing (i am hesitant to say "throw"- this kind of etimological travesty only makes me want to suffix with an "up") which was both exorbitantly expensive and mass produced. and, while we're on the subject, dry clean only. we checked the price. we hastily put it back.

so then, after frowning over youtube for several hours, i started making my own. i've torn 3 days worth of work on it down. twice. see, i am bringing both ineptitude and perfectionism to this one.

and i can't get the hold right, so i am also developing "the claw". epic.

  5. okay, right, i now longer experience the crochet-claw... but my right hand is now a good half an inch wider than my left.

    i am telling myself that this is sort of badge of honour. like i'm some sort of blanket ninja.

    jesus.

  6. I think you have only two options

    1) crochet some gloves to cover up fat hand/skinny hand

    or

    2) crochet a skin coloured hand to wear on your skinny hand.

    I vote 2

  7. i hear you, but i have decided to go through life forthwith with this deformity and just stare people down when they notice. maybe ask them if they've never seen blanket-claw before. it's not my problem- i have a "characterful throw" to weep into.
