By the Sea, By the Sea.....

   We are who we are....I am a water sign, a Cancer. I grew up surrounded by water on the east end of Long Island. Contrary to current popular belief, Long Island is not just an extension of New York City. Where I grew up was farmland, cauliflower and potatoes, and Long Island duckling, all surrounded by water. Long Island Sound; Peconic Bay, the Atlantic Ocean. It's no wonder that I've ended up in Maine in Phippsburg, on a finger into the Atlantic. The photo above is Head Beach, the one at the tip of the finger.
   

I knew at the age of nine that I would be a Maker, and that is what I have indeed been most of my adult life. My primary medium is yarn, with a bunch of mathematics thrown in to aid in writing patterns, sequentially explaining how you can make what I made. Working the Textured Squares Throw CAL, I realized that I really enjoy producing HELPS as well as patterns. To that end, this next CAL will be Sea inspired, and involve some more new techniques, this time involving colorwork. 

Please join us, if you would like to go on this sea journey with some crocheting friends!

The CAL itself will start the end of April, but I'll have materials lists ready by noon on April 1, and continue to write about the design process here, even before we actually start.
