... or knitters or jewelrymakers or interior designers or dabbling...
...yarn spinners, weavers, origami artists, clay artists, bookbinders, future indoor gardeners, fruit preservers and breadmakers?
AKA THIS IS THE CRAFT THREAD -armflail-
So I went into Asheville and got some ultrasoft yarn in peachy orange and sagey green. FIRST NONSYNTHETIC YARN I'VE WORKED WITH. Annnnd a cool disky blue bead.

I had this one yarn that had big chunks in it and it was pretty cool. It looked like it didn't get strech out right.

Oh yeah, I've heard of those. They're usually called "homespun yarn" (even though most of the time people can card the yarn better...).
I haven't worked with them, though. -ametuer-

I've never crocheted or knitted in my life. I've always wanted to learn, though. It seemed pretty interesting. I write music now. And draw, of course (I was somehow convinced to draw a portrait of one of my classmates today, which I usually am against doing 100% :c) but yeah. xD I used to make these little paper dolls, too... I should get back into that.

My friend made some fortune cookies and one of them was, "You are the yellow power ranger." The homespun really isn't too hard to use unless you're making it too tight. I made a really nice hat with it.

I BET that was a nice hat! I'll have to take that idea and run, Toph.
You should learn how to crochet, Cheerio. Something is so satisfying about making your own clothing.
Oh boy... rug-dig... that must be a complicated scarf.

I think that must have been the most epic fortune cookie ever. It probably was sent by divine intervention of sort, meaning your friend is the king (or queen) of all man.
My friend say I should design clothing... they see the pictures I draw in my sketch book. Really, they're an RPG fantasy style. As much as I'd love to walk around as an RPG character, I don't want to be given any odd looks. xD
:AKJFS:KAJ I need to learn to crochet, but I'm far too lazy. What's the easy alternative for me? ;-;
(Also, one of the guys i thought was adorable in terms of personality got kicked off of Project Runway today. I mean, yeah, he didn't really do his work, but I do think he's adorable. YEAH. WOO. FEAR ME MENTIONING MY FAVOURITE REALITY SHOW EVER.)

Crochet isn't that hard if you can get someone to teach you hands-on.
Also wow that fortune cookie is epic.
You could work for Square Enix or something. -shrug-

There was also, "Pine cones are bad for the human soul." "You will be hit by a meteor." "GAME OVER." and uh. . . I don't remember. Maybe that was it.

did you know you could Microwave a fortune cookie for a few seconds? It will make it soft enough for you to take the real fortune out, and put your own fortune in?
I am going to do that and give them to people around christmas time.
I'll have one that says. "It's over 9000!!" and "They will steal your Freakin' kidney."
