Introducing Bun Gun #1

Last night I printed up the first run of the first issue of my zine. It's called Bun Gun. It's pretty awesome. If you'd like a copy, send me an email. I'd prefer a trade of sorts, either for your zine or a mix tape or cd of your band, something. I'll have shots of the cover up here soon. See how productive I am? Hooray for me.

Crochet help?

As you can see from my recent books (Library Thing, right panel) I've obtained a copy of Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller. I love love love love love her Stitch & Bitch books and thought the patterns were really cute in Happy Hooker. Everyone tells me crocheting is easier than knitting, so I want to give it a try.

Crocheting is impossible!!!

I don't understand at all... I think I need someone to show me. I had no problem making a base chain, and then I think I'm making the single crochet stitches but it ends up looking like a weird mess. I got so frustrated by it that I started knitting a scarf just to feel like I wasn't a total loser.

Can anybody show me how to do it? Please?

Sprited and boisterous! You drink everyone under the table.

Who's Your Inner European?



My outer European as well. Who woulda thunk?
