Types of crafts you do: mostly crochet. I can knit rectangles
And for how long? crochet: since 98 but for serious for maybe a year; knit: one year, never seriously
What you would like to learn: knit socks
Favorite thing about crafting: buying the yarn!
Favorite project you've made (WIP or FO) My flower blanket
Least favorite thing about crafting: when projects come out wrong, all wrong, even though you followed the directions
I mostly create things for myself or small gifts for others. Quite frankly, I don't want to put in hours of work for someone who isn't going to appreciate it (or justly compensate).
Favorite yarn: I don't know if it's my favorite, but I really like the feel of Moda Dea's bamboo wool
Ravelry: my projects page
Personal crafty anecdote? Hmm. Once, when I lived in Brooklyn, I was crocheting in a laundromat, waiting for my clothes to finish. This little girl came up to me and had no idea what I was doing. She said, "How does it do that?" and I told her I was ( ... )

I love those books, especially the Anne Series, although I think Anne of Windy Willows is my favourite,

I love to reread them during the summer especially. They're such feel-good books :)

They so definately are, have you read the later ones at Ingleside where the kids have grown up. The one set during WW1 is brilliant, tearjerking, but brilliant.

What you would like to learn: Sewing, definitely.
Favorite thing about crafting: I get me time! Beyond that I love the relaxing process (for my yarn and writing crafts at least) and seeing finished items is such a thrill.
Least favorite thing: Out of all my crafts it has to be ripping and tinking in knitting.
I mostly create things for Anyone and everyone.
Favorite yarn: to be determined

Personal crafty anecdote? I'm going to go with the day my dog decided he *loved* this really fluffy yarn I was working with and forced me to chase him around the house while he ran around slobbering on the ball and unravelling all my work. It was pretty funny, especially because none of my dogs have shown an interest in any yarn or ( ... )

We have lots in common- in fact on my Ravelry page some of my ami photos are posed in front of "Good Omens". <3 Neil Gaiman. I'm not a married lesbian, but I do believe in equal rights (fervently in fact) and in proper grammar and spelling, am not religious and try not to get all angsty in my journal.
