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.

Awesome.

No, really: Periodic Table of Awesome And that’s all. It’s been a heinous week so far, and I don’t know what blogging might happen before I get internet at home again on Monday.

Ugh

This weekend is shaping up to be perhaps the longest weekend of my existence. I will hopefully be able to post photos afterward, though. Bear with me, people.

Shameless plug

But also me being busy/lazy. Go check out the awesomeness that is Lotus yarns: Shop Blog Go look! I’m currently using Aura in Walk With the Ghost for my Rivendell socks, and it’s yummy. Go forth and buy yarn.

It’s shaping up to be interesting.

This week, that is. Not only are we moving the rest of our stuff this weekend, but we also have to get the car fixed (again). It’s part of owning an ancient, high-mileage Volvo. According to the mechanic, it’s only … Continue reading

Good fun.

1. I love the Fug Girls. Not only do they do an excellent job of mocking celebrities, but they also took a suggestion I made once for a topic of mockery (specifically, the EW Twilight cover). It was probably more … Continue reading

Teenagers are funny.

As you might have gathered already, I went to the Breaking Dawn release party (I missed the Harry Potter parties, so this was the next best thing) on Friday night, and spent a couple of hours with teenagers at a … Continue reading

Well, I’ve read it.

But I don’t want to spoil it for those of you who have not, so I put it under a cut:
