Fibers, Felines and Food

Profile Information

Location: Pullman, WA

About Me:: My four favorite things...fibers, food, felines and books, but books doesn't start with an "f"...

I decided to learn to knit about 2 or 3 years ago and a local crack...I mean yarn shop was hosting some sock classes. That was it...I'm hooked and socks are my drug of choice. I have a couple of sweaters started and have completed some basic hats and such, but socks are it for me right now.

I'm a 43 year old, married Mom to two teenagers, my son is at the Vancouver Film School studying Animation and Game Design and my daughter is a Senior in High School and is talking Medical School or Physical Therapy. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician at a Mixed practice and I have been at my dream job for almost 8 years, now.

I love to read and get quite nervous if there is less than at least 200 books around me. I was an avid quilter until my collection took over and I didn't have any room left to actually sew. Now it's all in storage until I have room to set it all up again...probably as soon as the daughter leaves for college...

She and her son can't have yeast, chicken eggs, or cow-dairy and a few other strange things. She makes it work.

New Season, New Project, Fewer Cats...

I haven't been knitting much lately. I'm trying to get through some classes that I've been procrastinating about. I signed up for KPs Sipalu bag knitalong. I'm doing it in the warm colors. Keep your fingers crossed Since November of 2007, I've gone from 8 cats to three, then added one, so I'm at four. Four is a good number. Last month, my husband's cat Jilly got sick and I had to euthanize her. My big, black cat, Mau, is a medical anomaly (of course he is...I'm in the veterinary field) so I re… Continue

I used to be a vet tech, I worked for an emergency clinic, but now I am in customer servide. Better hours =)

Currently, my husband and I are owned by 2 cats, Scrunchy (my avatar) and Munchy, his look alike sister.

I have knitted for 5 yrs, crocheted for 20 and handspun for 15 years. I am finally taking the plunge and learning to knit socks, using the magic loop method, so far so good, it looks like a sock....sorta.....

Hope your girl feels better soon!
