Who Am I?

I'm a wannabe designer, sock knitter, lace junkie, and yarn addict, who lives in the DC metro area. I do things other than knitting to pay the bills; do let me know if you hear of any job openings?

I live in cheerful sin with my boyfriend, The Irishman, and our four housemates, three of whom are graduate students in physics. (The fourth is a post-doc. In physics.) Thus I am decidedly the odd woman out, since a) I already have an MA and b) it's in ancient history. (Hence my blog handle, incidentally; it was a close as I could get to "knitter" in Latin.)

My non-knitting interests include reading, computer gaming, singing, playing the pipe organ and the piano, and being seriously incompetent at bridge.

Oh, I'm also unapologetically fat, which obviously comes into play with the knitting. This blog is a diet-talk free zone, and about the only thing which brings down the banhammer is hateful language pertaining thereto.
