Hello, and welcome to our blag!

First, by way of explanation. Adoxograph had this wonderful idea, “we’ll start a blog, we can post pictures of all the things we’re knitting!” I was right on board for that, “ooh, that means that we’ll have the pressure of guilt to keep us focused on completing our projects!” (This is a big issue for me, I think I have at least 4 halfway completed projects, and several un-started but lovely project ideas.) The topic came up again and again in phone conversations and via instant messenger. We thought of folks to include, topics to discuss, topic tags (“yarn porn” for pictures of great yarns we want to work with). What we needed was a name.

Then, it came to us. We were talking about our motivations for acquiring these skills, so anachronistic in a time of knitting machines and ready-to-wear clothing. A sentiment echoed by both of us: “you know, I really just learn to do all of these things so that in the event of the collapse of civilization, I will have skills that will help me survive.”

With that, we present you with: Crafting for the Apocalypse.

So let’s get to work!
