She's Crafty and She's Just My Type!

Its amazing what cloth diapering has gotten me into.

I have decided that I am going to learn how to crochet and knit AND that I am going to make my own flannel wipes. The crocheting and knitting are both new to me so I expect that there will be a bit of a learning curve, but the whole sewing thing... THAT may be a disaster.

You see, sewing machines and I don't tend to get along. As a matter of fact, I do believe that there is some kind of sewing machine conspiracy out there to keep me from ever using a machine effectively. The more I think about it, the more I REFUSE to let that damn machine beat me. I will sew and the things I produce will be usable!

So, how did cloth diapering get me into all of this? Its quite simple, really. You see, I hate having to separate the disposable wipes from my diaper laundry every time I change diapers. Besides wanting to be as green as possible, I don't feel like picking through mess when I am changing diapers. It will be much easier to just throw the dipes and wipes in the same pail and wash them all together. The added bonus of saving money rocks too. Makes perfectly good sense, right?

Well, what about the knitting and crocheting? Let's see, I started out with BG 3.0's. Liked them. Tried some FB OS's. Like them too. Got some RaR's. LOVE THEM. Waiting for my first BSRB's... Uh-oh, I don't have any kind of covers. I started looking around at the shorties and longies that folks are making and decided, "I can do that." Again, nevermind the fact that I have never learned how to crochet or knit and really have NO IDEA what Im doing. I. Can. Do. That.

So, here I am... trying desperately to learn how to do that. I'll let you know how it goes.
