Biography

I have been knitting since 2000 and I have been crocheting since high school. In my senior year of high school I took a craft class as well as basic art before that and learned how to make jewelry with wire & beads. I have been macreming since middle school and knew how to hand sew by 10 years old (est.). I also have used polymer clay to make beads and other things (most I haven't figure out what to do with). I do have a sewing machine (I got for Christmas in 1998) and know how to use it pretty decently. I only recently (2006) have been doing bead weaving and loom bead work. I also do some painting but I don't think I'm very good at it and I also like to make my own cards (I have nice little collection of stamps).

In addition to the scarf and hat I have made myself several accessories using my crafting skills. I also have made several pieces of jewelry for myself as well and I also have made wearable gifts for others too.

I also love fashion and enjoy reading fashion magazines (I also have couple of books on the subject). I like to make stylish accessories and jewelry pieces.
