Let's be honest:  this blog is my logorrhea outlet.  I love creating and making things -- clothing, food, home accessories, networks, periodicals, choreography, etc.  But my main focus in this blog is fiber arts.

Knitting is my primary fiber passion. I love to knit and read at the same time. Occasionally, I engage in difficult patterns then, I knit and watch movies at the same time. I inherited A LOT of yarn and fabric from my grandmother who has lost her enthusiasm for knitting, crocheting, and sewing. At first, I kept crocheting and knitting afghans or sewing quilts for family and friends. Then I started to crochet and knit items for sale (LotusMonkeydotEtsydotcom). Her primary yarn stash was acrylic yarn. I find that yarn to be ideal for much loved and much worn items -- like the fitness ball nets I crochet, afghans used by male persons and the occasional hoodie for a male person.
