How to Get Into Crochet...
Artisan Crafts Week
...Even if You've Never so Much as Heard of it Before
Hi everyone! MrsEveTwo (https://www.deviantart.com/mrsevetwo) here, but you can call me Shea! Two years ago, I learned how to crochet with zero knowledge of the craft. I want to share with you what got me started, and how I went from knowing nothing to opening an Etsy using nothing but the internet!
First off, let me just say that I'm pretty much as amateur as it gets. Everything I've learned has been through online tutorials and lots of practice to figure out what works best for me. I'm just getting into this game, so I'm not exactly equipped to do any real tutorials, but I can help you find your passion

Well, I got eclipsed sometime today. In other words, DA changed my default over to that format even though I think it's hideous and want nothing to do with it. Fortunately, I was able to manually change it back. I'm wondering how much time I have ...
qotd
Since [the artist's] work comes back to him simply as joyfulness, he does not find therein the painful labour of making himself into an artist, and of creation, nor the strain and effort of his work. Furthermore, the crowd may judge the work or bring it offerings, endue it with their own consciousness in whatever way it may be: if they with their knowledge set themselves above it, he knows how much more his act is than what they understand and say; if they put themselves below it and recognize in it the essence which dominates them, he knows himself the master of this being.
-Hegel (Phenomenology of Spirit)
The importance of culture
To say this blows my mind would be hyperbole, but this video has prompted me to think of nearly everything in a different light.
Over the years, as I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate the importance of culture and traditions--- not as ossified sets of rituals and material trappings, but as a matrix that supports and informs how people interact with each other and how they view the world. Mind you, I don't always agree with the worldview of a given culture. But for me this really brings home the importance of very mundane things like how we relate to other people on a daily basis.
