A College Post

I have to add a little addendum to my previous post:
I was switched into another dorm and thus have another roommate.  It is the dorm of my choice and my roommate is really nice.

I also have a question for all you gothy types out there... what are some alternatives to wearing skirts for the romantic goth/ neo-victorian minded person?  I have a few skirts but I don't usually wear them so I'm still getting used to them, but in the mean time I want to find some pants to wear.  I was thinking knickers and such but a girl can only wear so many black pants before it starts to look like you're wearing the same pants over and over.  I do eventually hope that I can get my confidence up to wearing cooler skirts and maybe bloomers but until then....

On another topic, I think I'm going to start a textile arts club at my college.  It would help people learn to sew, knit, crochet, weave, spin, and so much more.  I especially want to teach card weaving.  A great book to learn how to do it is Candace Crockett's book on card weaving.

 It not only gives you a history of the art but it also teaches you how to make cards, different ways you can keep the tension, and it gives a lot of patterns.  I really want to try the pattern that's shown on the cover of the book...it looks  so cool!  I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to do card weaving.

Again if there's anything you want to know or want me to post just leave a comment.

Lots of Love,
Neesie
