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.

Why I knit, #24

Knitting is something I never feel the need to purge. I’m a compulsive clutterer. I attribute this somewhat to being the granddaughter of a Depression-era housewife, and somewhat to my personality and also somewhat to being an artist. Whatever the … Continue reading

Learn Hindi from Bollywood Films

Super-educational: http://www.cuttingchai.com/HouseFull/index.html No, really. I now know how to intimidate people in a melodramatic fashion (and I finally know what phir milenge means). Best. Podcast. Ever.

No more magenta

It was eye-searing and made my photos look funny. Back to white (ahhhh….)

I’ve been a busy lady.

I am still doing too much, but not as much as before. I have gotten many things done in the meantime. One of these things is part of a monumental fabric printing project. I had been reading the documentation that … Continue reading

Oh, RLY?

I had, at one point in the past, spoken out against facial piercings and gauged piercings. I have recently been doing some research on Indian (surprise!) jewelry, and both a nose piercing and gauged ear piercings now seem like a … Continue reading
