I've been feeling crafty ever since starting this project for my brothers birthday. (If you missed my last journal, I'm making him a wolf suit/jumper a la Where The Wild Things Are).

Just an update on that:

It is confirmed. I SUCK AT SEWING.

You'd think I might be good with my hands considering my love for handmade stuff, but no. I fail hardcore.

So I made my mom go buy me a pattern at Wal-Mart. It's going MUCH better now that I have a clue as to what I'm doing.


But before the pattern, I was hoping something, somewhere might tell me how I would go about MAKING a pattern (I'm cheap, and hate buying them). I also failed at this, but in the process I ran across a SWEET little channel on youtube called <a=href\"www.youtube.com/threadbangers\">ThreadBangers. They pretty much cater to all of those who love crafty goodness and crave the knowledge of just "how to do that".

And thus, I am currently knitting.

This is no small feat mind you.

I've been searching for a guide or a person who could teach me how to knit for quite a while, but I always end up confused and frustrated, throwing down my needles and thread and going off to headdesk for a while.

But today, oh today...

Their how to knit video was so simple to understand, I facepalmed at myself.

(Also, I finally folded my bed into a couch!!! 8D ((it's a futon, btw)) I nearly killed myself in the process, but by golly I did it! Unfortunately, I refuse to sleep on a couch, so I'll have to unfold it shortly)


I only found one knitting needle though, so I'm using a pencil as a substitute.

Maybe I'll eventually move on to making hats!!

(I apologize for these stupid updates, but my life is really just that boring XD)
