Hey there.

So, introductions.

I'll go by Bee for the purposes of this blog.

I crochet mainly, as it's my favorite craft now, but I also knit a bit. I don't have many knitting supplies though (besides yarn), so I don't do that as much. I've been doing lots of amigurumi, but I'm now branching out--I finished a hat the other day, and I want to make more hats and maybe a large bag to keep my yarn in.

Ah, yarn...how I love thee. My favorite yarn is Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in either Black or White. I don't like wool too much, but I do use acrylic, and I like cotton as well. I haven't tried any homespun yet, so I have no idea what that's like, but for now, I like my acrylic-and-cotton comfort zone. :)

On to hooks...

In my bag at the moment are a shiny pink-purple F/3.75mm, a shiny gold G/4.00mm, a duller metallic blue hook that says I but looks more like an H/5.00mm, and a dull gold I/5.5mm hook. I thought I had a J somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Hey, maybe it's only in my imagination! Ha.

Now that you've heard enough about my crafting (for now!), you can learn a bit about me as a person. I love colors like a light sky or aqua blue, as well as darker midnight blues. I love textures, and if something looks interesting, I'll try to see what it feels like. I'm a very curious person, and I like to think about how things work. I've recently encountered the wonderfulness that is Pokemon, and they are SO fun to crochet if I can find a pattern! Plus they're really cute. :D I like strange things, like drawing on my feet and tracing words on my arm. I love words, actually. I like twisting words around, making up new words...words. And music. Music, quite simply, is my life. I joke that I haven't gone five minutes of my life without being involved in music in some way, whether it be actually singing, playing, listening, or just having a song stuck in my head. There really isn't much I can say about music. It's just...me.

But that's about it. Or it's at least as much as I care to share right now. So I'll put up projects and pictures when I get around to it, and for now...adios!
