Crafters

A fabric yardage calculator with a blog on various sewing topics.

Art, textiles and plant enthusiast. I like to play with texture, colour and pattern, and dabble in many creative outlets. On my website, I share my work, journal and notes on things catching my interest.

Fantasy art and geek lifestyle.

Communications manager by day and a crafter by night; I crochet, weave, spin my yarn, wood-burn, make kumihimo, and draw.

Writing on design, development, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

The Knitting Pirate has been obsessed with yarn and string for approximately forever, beginning with knotting embroidery floss into friendship bracelets and weaving scarves on a plastic loom (hey, it was the 80s). Pirate learned to knit at eight, but didn't really pick it up as a hobby until twenty years later. Other string- and fabric-related hobbies include inkle and card weaving, embroidery, sewing, quilting, and yes, the occasional friendship bracelet.
