I’m a compulsive knitter and an slightly awkward tribal fusion and flamenco dancer. I have an undying passion for crafting, and I’m always making something. I knit, crochet, sew, hot glue, collage, decoupage, handstitch, quilt, embroider, drill holes into things, build furniture, do reupholstery, fix junk jewelry, make jewelry, stained glass, metal patinas, use medical film to make lamps, give me anything, I’ll try it! This blog is mostly a knitting blog, and where I will dump all my knitting creations, but my full time gig is my new(ish) tribal fusion and jewelry shop:

I also sell patterns on KnitPicks:

My favorite things are kitties and octopodes. Did you know octopodes is the proper (though archaic) plural form of octopus? I one day dream of morphing into an octocat. With laservision! I also love sushi, all things kawaii, biology, using math in arts and crafts, DIY fashion, fringe psychology, gratuitous swearing, internet memes, and ravelry. (pssstt… I’m surrealestate there)

Hmmm… what else? My flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/surrealestate/
