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.

And then, and then…

Pirates, witches and France.

This past weekend was nutty. I think I tried to fit too many things in, but I had a blast. Today I’m tired and dizzy, but I think I’ve narrowed the dizziness down to allergies, so I’m pretty okay with … Continue reading

Nothing much

I have nothing much to say today except that 1. The bear I’m knitting has only one arm, and the arm he has is very deformed-looking. I believe I have overstuffed him. I’m extremely tempted to leave him that way … Continue reading

I am a true fiber dork.

That is, I lost my debit card and all I’m really upset about is that I also lost the little felted bag I was carrying it in. Well, that and now I have to change all my automatic draft information. … Continue reading
