It all begins...

Hey Everyone,

My web pages being a pain to update, I'm moving my craft stuff to this blog. Here's the into from my web pages. I'll post my works as I create them. :)

As if I didn't have enough bizarre hobbies, I also crochet - and now knit.

I'm just a creative kind of guy. String art. Photography. Building models. So when I saw the "teach yourself to crochet" book in the store, what could I do. Besides, I had a coupon.

But it was not out of the blue. Mom crocheted a lot. She was the afghan maker as we grew up. So I was at the crochet store so I could look for yarn colors for a new afghan. On my bed is a red, white and blue one that I've had since I was a wee McLachlan, so I figured it was time for something different. So while in the store I saw the book, and well, I got hooked. Get it. I got hooked. never mind. I've since taught myself to knit as well (with the help of an informal class). There are some things you just can't crochet. But we'll see where the knitting takes me.

So I'm well on the way for something else to suck away all my time. At least this is one of my cheaper hobbies. :)
