Bursting at the Seams!
Hello CRAFT blogging audience! How thrilling is it to combine two things that I absolutely love--blogging and crafting--into one insanely creative experience?! I am thoroughly excited.
My name is Karissa Kilgore, and I'm linking to my own blog here. If you want to learn more about me, check my "About Me" page on there--that saves space here! And that's just for fun 'cause what blogging isn't? :-)
I'd like to thank Moira for having the idea and spunk to get this club going! Certainly our club's presence at SHU is going to be felt once we really get crackin'.
I'd also like to link to my friend Natasha's blog--she's the one that Moira mentioned yesterday at the meeting. She is AWESOME. Check out some of her work and some of her beautiful spun and dyed yarn.
I'm a knitter--hands down, but I also love to sew. I make purses and some clothes for myself, but I don't seem to have enough patience to follow patterns for that sort of thing. Maybe I should learn how to do that... Most things I just make up as I go along, visualizing the final product in order to make it. I'd also like to learn crochet and any other skills I can acquire from our lovely group.
I'm so glad to have met all of you, and I really can't wait to see what we can do--I'm practically bursting at the seams (which is something I'll have to refrain from doing once we start making things 'cause you can't have me just going around busting seams on everything just because I'm excited. Okay, I know I'm exaggerating... tis my nature at times!). But really, I'm just a -tad- excited...

Yay! I'm excited as well! Karissa and everyone else - what suggestions do you have for making this blog the place to be? ;c)
In the links I just posted, I included a link to a sewn self-portrait: I thought that might be a really fun starter project for when we do sewing. Also, I'm interested in learning more about crochet.
What does everyone else want to learn???
