>> I adored watching my grandmother crochet. She could do it while watching TV and never once looking down at the incredible creation draped over her lap. How?! <<

Probably tactile awareness, but possibly the spatial part of visual-spatial intelligence. Mine could do the same thing. If you can see with your fingers, you don't really need to keep rubbing your eyes over your work.

>> especially the Huginn & Muninn I embroidered on the back of my Samhain ritual garb.<<

That sounds gorgeous.

>>Joann Fabrics and Michael's are not safe places for my wallet. I've never left a craft store without finding a treasure or ten.<<

I often handle such challenges by taking in only money I can afford to spend.

>> I know, I know, its too "on trend" right now,<<

*snort* Sourdough has been with us for at least 6,000 years.

I made it a long time ago, but am still so proud of them. Here's a pic!



P.S. The eyes are stones - Amethyst and Larvikite

Wow! Those look amazing!

... and ... really familiar. Pretty sure some skalds and seers used to wear something like that in Norse knotwork.
