About HappyGoth

By day, I'm a graphic designer. By night, I'm a knitter. I'm doing my part to keep Hotlanta stylish. I imagine that if you don't already understand the title of the blog, you're probably confused and perhaps slightly annoyed, but never fear - I do have a reason (and it's a good one). Having gone to hear Stephanie Pearl McPhee, and then having been inspired to blog about knitting, I found myself wondering what to call the blog. I recalled a conversation I had with Mouse and the Chicken Goddess about why it is a Bad Idea to anger knitters - this conversation was following SPM, aka the Yarn Harlot telling the assembled throng about Those Who Do Not Understand Knitting and Therefore Belittle It Much to the Chagrin of Others, or TWDNUKTBMCO, which is not the acronym she used but is the one I'm using because I forgot hers - that is, we are numerous and we all have very pointy sticks, easily transforming into an angry mob. Therefore, knitters = angry mob.

Happy Halloween!

What I’ve been doing

Aside from sewing, that is. I get the sewing done, and then there is this: Vote for me on cheezburger.com! Or not. Whichever.

Not so scary, actually.

My photoless project du jour is for an upcoming SCA event, and is allowing me to do some pattern testing. I did my Mughal angharka in four different ways for myself (each time learning valuable info), but then found a … Continue reading

Still pretty much only Prince Zuko.

(More awesomer than awesome. Source) Hi, little blog. I hope you haven’t been too lonely lately. I’ve been shamefully neglectful of you. I’ve got good reasons, though. I was in the process of applying for a fellowship to do design … Continue reading

Cicadas

Last weekend we did sort of low-key stuff (my husband assures me that we did Interesting Things, and so I kind of believe him but I don’t recall what those things were). Sunday night he took the foster dog out … Continue reading

Lame-o blogger

If there was an award for that, I’d be getting it. Hang in there, people. I have been dealing with this dog and am totally discombobulated, and so no blog content until I am dog-free (which could be a while; … Continue reading
