I'll look at your projects later, when I'm calmer and less worn out from being a stress thing.

I knit, but the only thing I've really made is strip dolls, which can be fun, and I managed to vary one by giving her bobbles in her hair.

I used to spend a lot of time Windows shopping on Etsy, but I've mostly given up on it since it mutated. Can't tell from the new "feedback" system if someone's actually a good seller, and all that filling up the activity log with "recommended" spam annoys the beans out of me.

But have you seen these patterns? The Cheese Zombie ones would have tempted me. XD She's got knit and crochet, and they're supposed to be on the easy side.

I was lucky enough to have a lefty to learn from. So I was able to mirror what she was doing. I didn't learn to read patterns until I was grown.

What are strip dolls? O.o (I'm always on the look out for easy stuff to potentially make for my little girl when she gets bigger.)

I don't really spend much time on etsy, simply because I know I don't have the dineros to spare and I have a bit of a shopping problem... I spend unnecessarily even when I don't exactly have the funds... >.>'

Those are soooo awesome! I think I'm gonna talk to le hubs to see if we can flip the bucks for Cheese Zombie's flat sea horse pattern. Too cute! And the orca from Gem is incredible! Very nifty finds, thank you!
