first post

I was in a rut and boyfriend told me I should start a blog about crocheting. Little did he know I had already set up this site, I just never got around to the actual blogging part.
So here goes. This is a craft blog. My original idea for the first posts was a documentation of my attempt at sewing a dress. That project has been put off but I promise to get back to that once my work load lightens. Until then it'll be all crochet most of the time. (I'm sure I'll stumble upon other things to share.)
about me
My name is Karla. I'm Killeen, Texas born and raised. I attend the University of Alabama. Technically I'm a studio art major who has taken most of the courses required for the journalism tract.
My grandma Magda is amazing. She taught me and my sister to crochet when I was 8. I remember us being so proud of our chain stitches that we ambushed our god sister with several "headbands". Back to the amazing of my grandma. She's a seasoned seamstress. When we would go shopping, if she saw some clothes she liked she would examine it for a few minutes and have a pattern made to make the same exact thing. I hope to be as awesome as that some day.
This last summer my sister let me borrow her sewing machine while I was in Alabama. So I've been dodattling with that.
Other stuff I do (not well but adequately enough): knit, zine, write letters.
