Bio

I'm fascinated by weird things, old things, ugly things, unwanted things, things in general, colorful things. Anything antique. Things found in thrift stores and flea markets and garage/yard sales.

And I like to make stuff out of those things.

Crocheting has been helping me keep my mind intact since I was ten. I've been toying around with The Crochet Stitch Bible by Betty Barnden as of late. It's opening my eyes to the many possibilities of a simple skein of yarn.

I don't like to ever throw yarn away. I impulsively "rescue" all the stray balls of yarn at thrift stores. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don't.

I taught myself to knit recently. I'm pretty excited about it, but also still pretty bad at it. I drop the needles a lot. It's fun.

Crafts aside, I'm a college student and I'm planning on applying to Pharmacy School for the fall of 2010.
