Hey there, I’m selling knitted items and gifts for the holidays! I’ve been crafting for the past ten years, and can do custom items (such as stuffed animals) as well as the standard hats, scarves, bags, and gloves. Check out some of the work I’ve done after the jump and email me at jordanalam@gmail.com for […]
I haven’t been creative every day for a while (although, yesterday’s zine-making video clearly kicked me into high gear), but I have been thinking about it just as much. So, it was time to put my money where my mouth is and start creating again! Here are my three newest projects: I started this sweater […]
This week was event-filled and awesome, so a lot of the work I was doing happened outside – particularly at the Seattle Pride Parade, in which I fanatically snapped pictures of everything from the Washington Bus Summer Fellows to the amazing outfits that people adorned. Check it out after the jump – and yes, there […]
This week’s round-up is a bit late because I just arrived back from a retreat with the Washington Bus, but it is here nonetheless! I did some exploration this week by way of photography and, when indoors, did some writing and drawing on my Wacom tablet. I will learn you yet, Wacom! Check out some […]
I have been experimenting with short fiction this week, or at least scenes that tell a standalone story; I have written about everything from aliens (as part of my new serial fiction, The Observer) to time travelers, allergies, and South Asian lovers. Check out what I’ve been writing (and knitting in between keyboard marathons) after […]
My Creative Every Day hopes this week were somewhat diminished as I found that I had a lot of ideas, but nowhere to go with them – thus, next week’s goal will be implementing those ideas and seeing how it all turns out. The pictures this week reflect my new sweaterdress project at different stages […]
I walked miles in the heat of day last week to arrive at the Redmond-based craft store Ben Franklin, my favorite local yarn shop (LYS). I mulled over yarns of differing color and weight, imagining their eventual feel and drape on my body, feeling them as I would a lover between my fingers… Eh heh… […]
You know that link at the top of this page that says Etsy on it? It has intentionally been left as a non-working link because I had not yet set up the items in my store. But no longer! My Etsy shop is now officially stocked! I have put up an array of knitted items […]
Ok, so I know that summer is approaching. And I know that my attire will soon be changing from heavy winter coats and thick stockings to light dresses and t-shirts.But I am still fantasizing about a sweaterdress.Ever since making my skirt project, I have wanted to move onto other sorts of knitted clothing. I have […]
A project that I have wanted to launch for a while, but have not yet dared to test out, is to read some of my work aloud and read them as podcast-like posts for this blog. Today I am taking the plunge. I will start with a story* that I wrote for a creative writing […]
