I'm a 30-something California transplant and former vegetarian (10 yrs) who has been doing and teaching myself crafty things my whole life. I have done things from papermaking, beading & jewelry, cardmaking, polymer clay, refinishing furniture, sewing,painting and most recently, knitting. I also like cooking and baking (when I have time to do it). I'm multi-lingual and live with my non-crafty hubby and our feline children.

I am also organizing a fiber and dye-related swap, DYE-NO-MITE! http://www.dye-no-mite.blogspot.com

Snow Patrol, Sarah MacLachlan, New Order, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, 80s new wave/alternative, a little of everything else except country music.

Knitting, Dyeing, Sewing, Jewelry, Reading (although I haven't read much or done many other crafts since I picked up knitting and dyeing!). I also have been designing and writing my own patterns.
