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.

Plurk

HappyGoth is upset with people for spoiling Breaking Dawn without warning her. HappyGoth thinks she’s had enough Diet Coke for one day. HappyGoth is probably going to get to leave work on time (hopefully). HappyGoth is pissed because Plurk is … Continue reading

The crazy never ends.

I think that my mom’s theory about it raining when important things are happening has some truth. Today, it’s raining (it rained a bit yesterday, too). On top of that, I’m moving on Saturday (or beginning to, at least), I’ve … Continue reading

Well, monkeys.

I am so over this week already. I was hoping to get to knit this evening with BraveHarlot and Jennie, but I’m not very hopeful about that anymore. I will perhaps be at home instead (I’m so skipping SCA, either … Continue reading

Bison

Last night, we went out for dinner with BraveHarlot. That is, I called her on the phone and then absconded with her from the North Avenue MARTA station and took her to Ted’s Montana Grill, where we all ate bison … Continue reading

Socks!

Are all I’m knitting lately. Oh, but what socks they are. I’ve made the decision (finally) to rip out the Rivendell socks I started in Marrakesh, and I’ve started a new pair using the Lotus Knits yarn in Walk With … Continue reading

Still crazy here

So I give you another blog to read: Karl Lagerfeld’s Guide to Life I think this might become my new favorite. It has earned a spot in the links already.

In which I see my stats go waaaay down,

Both on my blog and on Plurk. I’ll be gone on photoshoots in DC and Boston this week, so I’ll do a mondo post on Friday to make up for it. In the meantime, I will be knitting like mad … Continue reading

Not so much

I feel that with my out-of-character weekend post yesterday, I’m excused from today, except to say that Knitty is doing nothing to help me overcome my sock addiction. You hear this, Knitty? Well, you should. Because you keep putting up … Continue reading
