I'm currently an art student studying Illustration, but with a healthy obsession for knitting! Turquoise and Brown are my favorite colors, and I adore subtle references to nature in crafts, especially curves and circles.

Re: Crafts I Want to Punch in the Face

Ahh, the ripping out knitting stitches sends me through a WALL. I have learned not to make projects that rely heavily on proper gauge or have complicated co-dependent pattern repeats, because I will inevitably mess it up, and despise going back. Many a project I have left as is, and convinced myself that they're reminders of 'Don't Do This Again' on the other sock or glove or somesuch.

I'm also with dgoddess on the wall muraling. I'm an artist, so I constantly get request from friends of 'well can you paint this on my wall?' Because they definitely don't understand how much time and work and money it takes to paint a mural.
