I'm a Crafty Critter!

Hi I'm JennaC, and I hope this blog will document my experiments in needlecraft - and maybe other crafts too, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself here. The goal is to post updates on current projects every few days and also give you reviews on some older completed projects - because there are only so many photos I can post of myself frogging a sock cuff repeatedly.

I am not an artist. I have no formal training in art or design. I draw horses that look like dogs and cars like wheeled submarines. I was nearly held back in pre-kindergarten because of my abysmal scissor skills. Once I took a pottery class. My mom decided the best place to display the special bowl I made for her was the very back top shelf of her closet.

But give me a set of needles and I'm a whorling dervish. Here are my current interests and skill levels:

Embroidery - expert
Knitting - intermediate
Quilting - intermediate
Hand sewing - intermediate
Applique - beginner
Crochet - beginner
Machine sewing - beginner

Here are some things I've never tried. Convince me it's worth it:
Macrame
Lace tatting
Rugmaking
Weaving
Spinning
Needlepoint
Draping-method garment construction

Also you can find me on ravelry.com my screenname is jennac3102. We can compare stashes or 'staches.
