i don't want to offend anyone (beyond having to deal with my very random capitalization) but... yeah, I don't think I'm going to be a big crocheter. my mom is, and has been, and the motion comes right back from when i was a kid. i made something, which i will document at some point. it's about 2 hours of crocheting and i have to say i was a bit cranky and bored. i know! with yarn! knitting to me is wonderful and relaxing and meditative. crochet i had to look at, it was fussier, i couldn't really see the individual stitches very well, and generally was a wee bit stressful. i am pretty sure that's what knitting was like at the beginning too, but it's not now, and i just don't know if i need to go down that road. i have PLENTY of crafts that eat up time and space.

knitting has so much history, and there's a *thing* i feel about it. i just don't have the same love affair with the hook.

or, as monkeydad just said, "it's not using the wizard". which is alluding to my self-imposed tendencies to luddite-ism. i used Pine as a mail reader until (relatively) recently. it worked, i liked it, there was no chance of getting some stupid email virus.

in the steps of our forebearers...

ah, don't mind me. i'm gonna have to break out the hook again for arigurumi stuff. but that's all. ha.
