Now, a good friend and fellow crocheter/knitter showed be this awesome site: http://www.microrevolt.org/knitPro/index.php

It basically makes the chart for you so that you can crochet or knit whatever you want. The possibilities are endless! Before I found out about it, I printed out some graph paper and was trying to come up with my own designs, which I'd still like to do one day, but for now, while I'm still getting the hang of it, this thing will be my best friend. I've been having a lot of fun with it.

And here are the images I've had graphed and I plan to use ASAP:

The Latest

Made those cuffs for a friend who wanted to do a craft trade. Pretty much improvised and I guess my first original pattern. I hope she loves them. Also sending her a pair of crochet bead earrings.

I am FINALLY getting my sewing/craft room. It's not going to be much, and it will be cramped, but it will be A ROOM. I am excited.
