Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

In case you didn’t notice, well, if you are reading this you had to have noticed. My blog address changed last night and I’m not sure why and I didn’t have any notice. I hope you all find me again.
Crochet
Don’t run away yet!
I like to crochet, its what I learned before I knit. Its fun and has different patterns than knitting. Some patterns are pretty cool. I actually have a couple of books on crochet patterns.
I have a problem with some things about the books and magazines, though. Have you seen one? It’s like a nice neighborhood that has one house with a lawn full of old machine parts. You know what I’m talking about. It’s the house where old washers and dryers came to die. Driving through a neighborhood and enjoying the drive and the view and all of a sudden, eeps. There it is, a bevy of rusty old appliances. Makes me cringe just a bit. Not that I think I'm any better because we keep our graveyard in the back of our house. The houses that aren't showing off thier rust are all the classy designs in that magazine, the appliance graveyard is that toilet paper cozy the editors seem to find a reason to stick into every issue. I want to buy that magazine and possibly crochet more until I see that TP cozy.
It sends shivers up my spine and that has got to be the reason crochet has a bad name. If one magazine was free of that mint green and lavendar barbie doll tp cozy, you might like it better too. Amy posted THIS earlier this week and I too want that scarf. But take a look at the rest of the magazine, you’ll find the dead washer/dryer.
My appologies to those with washers and dryers in your front yard, but you are just show offs. And I should appologize to all of you with that expertly created cozy on the back of your toilet, I'm sure its far prettier than any I've ever seen before.
I realized that I never posted a picture of Kate. So here she is in all her glory
You know you want to join.
As Rock Chick has reminded me, "resistance is futile".
So do I make it with or without sleeves?
Do I make the tank without sleeves and then a shrug to match?
Have a great weekend and play with your Chicken
