Just thought i'd introduce myself a little.
I'm a freshman Computer Engineering major at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and i absolutely LOVE to crochet. it's a great stress reliever and is perfect for making beanies.
so let me know what you think of my odd amalgamation of talents.
and loves photoshop.
have a nice day!
A guy, a hook, and some yarn.

Hello there!
You do sound very talented, what projects are you working on?
Kath
I'm working on a beanie that features my school logo (or a stylized version therein) and an afghan adapted from a knit scarf pattern (still working on the adaptation).
in other realms:
im designing a computer based on the Intel 8086, a chip very similar to the processor in the first IBM PC.
My car (it's back home in Michigan) is in the middle of an engine swap.
Wow! I'm working on growing up a small person,(4of4) not all my own work but I'm still proud.
I've been known to plumb a bit but the comp stuff leaves me glazed over and sleepy. I call my otherhalf for comp stuff.
Ahh... i'm my mom's personal IT dept. she even calls me from Michigan for help. and most of the people in my dorm hall come to me for help every once in a while.
surprisingly crocheting is like computer programming.
in crocheting you follow a pattern, which is a list of steps to make something
in computer programming, your program uses an algorithm. which is defined as a list of steps to accomplish a specific task.
i also enjoy the numerical aspect of crochet. i made an afghan (for my ex) and it contained over 225,000 stitches. its a whole nother way to visualze math and big numbers.
Your mom must be very proud. I can't wait to have a bit more free time, there are so many patterns and stitches I want to experiment with. I'm a new fan of victorian lace. Baby rearing is similar to a physical endurance test, how well you can cope surviving on minimal sleep. She does look very cute in my crochet when we do get hands free time. But it's not often...like now she chews my collar.
my dad was the one to fix cars, I used to pass him tools on occassion I know more about old rovers (pre 1958) than i do comps but not toomuch more.
Are you any good at single handed typing?

my brain is a bit daddled... i have noticed i'm repeating myself in previous messages!
she is. its because of her that i can even crochet in the first place. and i can imagine how you feel about baby rearing. i remember when my little brother was a baby. now hes an 11-year old with Autism which makes some days a big test on my moms sanity and endurance as a single mother. Working and parenting a child with special needs is a big task, and now that i'm not at home it's no easier for her.
i LOVE old cars. some are just so much more beautiful than whats on the road today.
i can type single-handedly, but for the most part i use both hands. altho i'm becoming something of a multi-tasking master. my computer has 2 monitors, allowing me to work on many things at once. or just listen to music while i surf the web (like right now).
Your moms sounds really cool and i'm sure you help her as much as possible.
Im going to make an online picture diary of my work I want a record of my progress.
A few hats and brown gilet can be seen on Lizzy with Daddy at http://degrit.com/puzzetta/ also 2 of my big girls. I'm sporting the opulent udders!
It'd be great to have the same but for my projects..
Got any pics of your work?
i have an old blog...
let me dig it up....
i found it!
i really should keep that up to date.
Adorable afgans!
I have completed before xmas, hat and scarf for DD3 and 2 shawls for DD's 1 and 2. A dress for lizzy also in stocking stitch with some slight lace motives. Since then its been plenty of hats and beenies and headbands with flowers. I designed a cardi for myself to an elaborate lace st but to be honest it needs much more time than I can dedicate to it right now... I keep that for when baby sleeps through the night. A 20 row repeat lace pattern needs concentration. I'm itching to spend hours at it though.

ahhh....
sounds interesting for sure.
the baby is beautiful btw.
My love of crochet is the speed at which it works up, results are seen so much faster compared to knit. I also believe it feels different to working knit. You can zone out while crocheting. Thanks for the baby praise.
Kath.
What weight yarn was the lilac afgan?
