hey jen renee: to Japan, with love: "Wearing something you've knitted using Noro yarn is like wearing a work of art. If you're unfamiliar with Noro, they are a Japanese yarn pro..." (please click thru to read more)


Jen (above) is donating a lovely Noro scarf to raise money for the relief effort in Japan. This is a lovely gesture - please support the cause by placing a bid if you can.

guts

i would write more about my latest crochet project progress right now but my blondeboy just brought me cava breakfast in bed.

see why i love his guts so much?

being a fucking feminist and hooker named cakemix...

...how could i not mention this rant about/love of knitted cakes?

the ranter/lover is none other than the amazing digital crafty vixen queen ele carpenter.

her and i have moved in the same circles for ages, and if i was to ever have a BFF to replace sonia5 (RIP) it should probably be ele.

i'm really on the fence on this argument - i feel dirty but also empowered.

do any of my feminist against censorship sisters have any comments?

my day job

so today's post is going to be more about my day job...quite fitting really as i'm now kinda on notice that i may be layed off soon and also because it ada lovelace day!

i love love love how lucky i've been to make both my hobbies my career at different times in my life, first by crocheting bra tops and dresses and selling them FOR REAL MONEY, then by taking my interest in cyberspace to the ultimate next level and doing it as a day job...

but what's even better is that the craft community has really latched on (with their hooks no doubt) to the sharing idealogies of the web. long live tecnological DIY culture!!!
