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.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa. (contest results!)

Nope.

Didn’t do that whole updating thing on Saturday. I forgot my hard drive, and then went out to a movie with a friend, and then it was time to take care of cats, and then I had a migraine so … Continue reading

Allo!

[I dyed yarn! I didn’t screw it up! It’s been microwaved!] Whew. That was a week and a half, wasn’t it? Anyway. Sorry I didn’t come to Philly, Gabbiana; it was a whirlwind (though the sofabed was incredibly tempting, I … Continue reading
