Howdy! I'm Kelly, and I'm a little late to the CraftyCrafty party, but hopefully you won't hold it against me.
I live in Portland, Oregon, basically Craft Central. My theory is that even though it doesn't rain as much as everyone thinks it does, it's still a big hunk of the year we tend to spend inside. This means Portlanders are not only a pale people, but armed with a virutally endless list of indoor activities. Our "crafty cred" includes: the Church of Craft, CraftyPod, and SuperCrafty to name a few.
I am a yarn nerd myself, primarily crochet. I have dipped my toe into the knitting pool, with a few smaller projects and I'm trying to get the hang of it now. I like it but it hasn't "clicked" yet like crochet did at one point, so now I get it a lot better than I used to.
Anyway! I'm going to be settling in and showing you some of the cool things I learn as I branch out into other fields of craftiness (I bought some Premo clay today, look out!) and some of the ways I have bent crochet stitches (and yarn) to my will. I am always on the prowl for the more serious geek + yarn project, and when I find some you can bet I'll be telling you about them here!
