When I signed up for this blogging weet I assumed that the blogging would be much easier than it is.  I am not sure if the topics are deeper than I had thought or I am just having a hard time articulating my thoughts these days.  Anyways. Here goes nothing.

I live in Kuwait.  It is a hot country most of the year.  It gets cold for about a month and sometimes it gets really really cold during that time.  I started out crocheting amigurumi and bags when I first started so they are season irrelevant.  I started in December I think.  And then went on to crochet more bags and stuff for quite a while.  I crocheted a wrap for my daughter that was so bad I ripped out and used the yarn for a bag.  I didn’t understand gauge then and it came out so misshapen it looked quite sad on her.

I knit and crochet all year round.  I just make different things and I use different materials.  It is actually a great opportunity to try things you wouldn’t normally do.  Summer makes me want to crochet or knit beach bags, sun hats and toys.  The colder months make me want to knit shawls, cardigans and little mittens.  Of course I want to knit socks all the time 🙂 but hey you can wear them all year round too.  I also knit baby blankets any time of the year too.  Cotton for summer babies and wool blends, acrylic or superwash (because they need to be machine washable) in the winter.
