It's nice--albeit weird--to have my old "Chaotic Spring" blog back at Blogger. Whereas before it was a personal blog, I've decided that it's now going to be more of a creative place, as I have my personal blog at
springading.com. And by "creative," I mostly mean crocheting and knitting, but I want to leave room for drawing, should I decide to ever go back to it, or sewing, should I ever decide to actually learn it.
Why another blog? After all, I do sometimes post crafting pictures on my main blog. Besides the fact that the Virgo in me likes to compartmentalize my interests, sometimes, I want to go into details about what I've learned or a trick I picked up. However, some of my non-crafting friends (and my non-crafting husband) read that blog, and I know crafting tips would bore them to tears, so I never post them.
So, this blog would be the place that might be of more interest to, say, the people I know on
Ravelry. Some things to know that could be/will probably be relevant to this blog:
- I am left-handed. This means that my crochet projects will look backwards.
- I err on the side of geeky. Some my projects will probably reflect that.
- I'm also practical. This means I tend to make more useful stuff than geeky stuff. Still--be prepared for some geeky stuff.
- I taught myself how to crochet and knit. I don't know if this will affect anything, really, but just to put it out there, I was not taught by my grandmother, so I don't have age-old advice to pass down. Sorry.
I also have a lot of other hobbies, so posts will probably be sporatic. You've been forewarned.
