I finally redid my website. I've been wanting something that would be really simple to update, and that wouldn't need a lot of design tweaking. Something I could just focus on keeping up to date.
My sister suggested www.grandportfolio.com, and so far so good. So far it's free too, and that is always helpful.

crochet and new fabric
My package of fabric came in the mail yesterday, from stefaniexu. She has a really great shop full of really cute fabrics. I have been a fan of Japanese prints for a while and finally bought some, as well as some nice plain linen cotton blends for embroidery. I'm hoping to make shopping bags out of some of the prints.
I also crocheted these fingerless gloves on the weekend for my mom. They were my first project in a while, and I really like how they turned out. I wanted to make some for myself too, but since I am a bit sensitive to wool I decided to make these ones for my mom out of wool I bought last year.
I found the pattern on Ravelry.com right here. - except I flipped them inside out after for a more flat texture. Then I added the fringe to it, out of Super Stitches Crochet, which has a really great selection of edges, as well as stitches in general. I want to crochet more so I can try out more edging patterns!
I'm going to try a different pattern for my fingerless gloves. I want to knit them, and I haven't picked the pattern yet for sure, but I bought some merino wool, and I just need to get some double pointed needles now.
