About Me

I am a reference librarian in a public library. I like tattoos, cats, and crafting, and reading. :-)

Favorite Music

I enjoy listening to punk rock, ska, reggae, and R&B.

The Clash, The Slackers, Hepcat, Matisyahu, Rocker T, India.Arie, Eryka Badu, Bob Marley, Rancid, The Specials, Alicia Keys

Favorite Books

White Teeth and On Beauty by Zadie Smith, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

Recent Favorites: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

I also enjoy reading cozy, crafty mysteries (ex. Laura Child's Scrapbooking and Tea Shop Mysteries, Maggie Sefton's Knitting Mysteries, and Mary Kruger's Knitting Mysteries).

I enjoy listening to books on CD or MP3 too.

Favorite Crafts

My favorite crafts are crocheting, knitting, needle felting, altering books, making ATCs, decorative painting and scrapbooking.

I am learning how to hand spin and dye my own yarn. I recently purchased a spinning wheel and I'm learning how to use it.

I haven't encountered a craft that I didn't want to try at least once.

I could always use more...

cotton yarn - I love to crochet or knit dishcloths/washcloths

acrylic yarn - I like to make granny suares while I watch TV or listen to books on CD

Favorite Television

I enjoy watching HGTV, the DIY Network, and the Food Network.

Some of my favorite TV shows are House Hunters, Knitty Gritty, and Crafters Coast to Coast.

Comment: Wow! I feel so spoiled! Three dishcloths, and they are all so lovely. I am in a private swap, and I tried making a flower-shaped cloth for my partner, but it did not turn out anywhere near as well as yours did. Beautiful! Thank you. :)

Comment: I love them! The frog & butterfly are so cute! I have a pattern for a ladybug, which I love to make, so please share where you got these patterns or share the patterns!
Response: I'm glad you liked the dishclothes. I got the patterns from a book called "Garden Dishcloths to Knit." The book is sold at Michael's, AC Moore, and Hancock Fabric.

Just one day After Your Birthday- Happy Birthday ! I love to Read too... about the Amish. We have lots in Ohio and several families on the Road I live on. Its only 22 degrees here today.

I'm sending to you in the dishcloth swap - and it looks like we have a lot in common! I'm also a librarian, though I'm currently in a paraprofessional position, and I just moved from Virginia (Alexandria) last summer with my husband and our two cats. I've gotten into knitting this last year, though I'm not the best at it, but I hope you enjoy the dishcloth!

LavenderLizard on Jan 5, 2010:

You're sending to me in a dishcloth swap, and I just had to say, wow for coincidences! I'm a YS librarian who also loved Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, have gotten into cozies, and have two cats...we're everywhere, it seems!
