i'm new.
i just moved to a new country.
the US and Canada aren't that different or anything, but living in a new place has me feeling more misplaced than usual.

i am really into yoga and i hope to become an instructor. i also crochet. i want to make a blanket with a colour pattern that uses the fibonacci sequence. that might make you think i'm a math geek. i'm not. a psychiatric stint at 15 disrupted my aptitude. when i was 20ish, I relearned adding in my head by playing cribbage.

i'm sort of starting to settle comfortably into accepting my aspiness. looking for resources.

well, hihi, i'll stop rambling (for now). :albino:

karen.

What colors are you going to use in the blanket? I think it sounds intrigueing.

I'm not sure. I make cotton blankets mostly, because they're heavier and softer and acrylic is eevil. the big skeins of cotton can tend to be pale.

i like green.
the last blanket i made was all sorts of colors, but the stripes were all basically the same width.

fibonacci sequence makes a really appealing pattern. greeeeen and hm.
blue was always my favourite colour.

green and brown. maybe. i think i won't know til i'm standing in the yarn store.
