Softawoo

Hi everyone! My name is Allison and I live in Minnesota. In the "real world," most of my jobs have been writing or tutoring-related. So I'm happy to help explain something if someone needs help.

I'm kind of a quiet person (even on the internet!) so I don't post much on the forums, but I'm a friendly lurker and am loving both making bracelets and my own patterns here. 🙂

I'm a pretty artistic person in general, so you might find me as Softawoo on other creative community sites (e.g., ATCs For All, Swap-bot). I also sporadically blog about art/crafty stuff on makingstufftoday.com, if you feel like checking it out.

As for what I enjoy here: I almost exclusively make and design normal patterns. I love seeing what people come up with under the creative constraints of a normal pattern. Just look at how long my list of to-dos is! 😛 But I'll admit, I'm starting to branch out and try alphas and they can be fun, too. I also like to post pictures whenever I finish another bracelet and doing challenges here and there.

Some fave keywords, for my sanity and safekeeping: alternating, arrowhead, aztec, bold, borders, braid, braided, celtic, colorblock, diamond, diamonds, dots, interwoven, intertwined, outline, rhombus, tribal, twist, twisted

Not sure what else to say here, but thanks for reading! Take care and keep creating!
