Yet another journal-type place for Darcy to rant, rave, and/or recuperate from the world.

Have you ever made anything by hand? What was it?
I am a great proponent of learning to make
things by hand. Often, things made by
hand are better quality and last longer, because of the maker’s attention to
detail and potential weaknesses. I have
made a couple of wooden storage boxes by hand, as well as knitted products such
as sweaters, socks, gloves and hats. I
even knitted myself a dress once. There
have been various plastic canvas and cross stitch projects, and when I was
younger, my grandma helped me to make a short-legged, short-sleeved jumpsuit. When I write, I prefer to do a draft by hand,
especially for fiction, before revising and typing up the story. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to build an
airplane or something from a kit. I
wonder if there’s such a thing as a motorcycle kit, or if I could just build
one out of my imagination.
