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.

Hi, not crazy.

I’m sort of passable when it comes to sari draping, mostly because I’m very stubborn and do a lot of practicing. My pleats are pretty neat. However, I’m not so hot with the pallu. I can’t ever seem to get … Continue reading →

Posted on April 15, 2011 by HappyGoth

Okay, so not so much in the pillaging, smelly, scallywag kind of way, but he does have a shoulder pet. Being a land pirate, he has a shoulder cat. Observe: Yep. Cute, right? Kind of like an owl. An owl … Continue reading →

Poll

Posted on April 14, 2011 by HappyGoth

I am currently growing my hair (a) because I am too lazy/cheap to get it cut and (b) to see how long it will grow (my mom’s hair reached her ankles at one point, so the genes are there). However, … Continue reading →

ALL RIGHT.

Posted on April 7, 2011 by HappyGoth

I am a lazy bum. I know this. And really, I have no excuse, except for a very flimsy one, which is that I only have an iPhone for photography, and I am ashamed of the photos it takes. But … Continue reading →

Holi

Posted on March 23, 2011 by HappyGoth

We celebrated Holi this year a day late, because of Gulf Wars, but it was so worth it. I convinced a group of unsuspecting friends (including Jennie and SurlyQueen) to go out to a little field next to Kennesaw State … Continue reading →
