I wish i had my camera!!!!

Because then i could give you a post with all of the ridiculous progress i've made in both cupcake and the plan for the new and improved clover. that being said, i do have a cute story to tell

the other night boyfriend of stitches (which i just realized is bos as an acronym, so from now on he is going to be refered to as such because i'm sure he'd enjoy being called boss. it sounds like a biker gang nickname hahah) and i were laying around and i was crocheting, and he said "how do you do that?". I was confused, i mean he'd seen me do it before, so he must have the gist. BUT he wanted more than the gist, he wanted to see the actual steps!

now as anyone with almost exclusive noncrafty friends and family, when they show an intrest beyond bugging you about when it'll be their turn for you to knit something it's kind of surreal.

so i started to show him the steps, and bos said "let me try it". those four little words are almost as sweet as when I got home the other day and dinner was waiting for me. anyway, i handed it over, and showed him where to insert the hook and how to do it. of course, like any other newbie he fumbled like he'd lost all of his motor skills. but i was excited, i could see us yarn shopping together (which he'll already sometimes do if i'll go to a book store with him), and working on projects and all that jazz. but after a stitch or two, he handed it back to me and said "I don't get it".

not in an i don't understand sort of way, but in an i don't understand how this could turn into such a habit sort of way. He's a very understanding boy, much more so than i can be, and he loves what i make, but it just isn't in his soul. i had forgotten that this happened once with knitting too.

that's fine, but i will still hold onto the idea that someday, he'll turn over to the dark side, and ask me to teach him to make a scarf and mean it. And in the meantime, maybe i'll try harder to understand his hobbies without poo pooing things that I just "don't get"
