Crafty geeks rule

How did I miss Anti-Craft? It's got wonderfully ghoulish knitting and crochet patterns, as well as gardening and cooking. It's the perfect antidote when Vogue Knitting publishs an issue full of pink 50's sweaters (nothing against retro sweaters, but the photographs were all of size 2 models in poofy skirts. :P )

And I really want to make the Snowball's Chance in Hell gauntlets, because really, is that not the neatest motif ever?

Also, their difficulty levels are hilarious -- Box of Rocks, Boy Scout Dropout, etc.

Oh, I'm talking about the craft tv show ladies, with the fussy quilts and the elaborate scrapbook pages. They just seem to always wear pink, and like things in ways I just. Don't.

Yeah, when I was working nights and my mom still lived here, sometimes we'd watch the craft shows together and laugh.

Admittedly, I don't understand the appeal of scrapbooking, even though I know people who do it, but some of those craft shows are just *strange*.

On the other hand, one of my guild's member got to be on one last year for her techinique of 3-dimesional quilting. She does these really interesting quilted houses and things.
