I am a science nerd and mostly prefer to be outdoors chasing critters and creepy crawlies. Unfortunately, I'm plagued with vicious chronic migraines and can't always function as well as I need or want to.
Knitting has been very therapeutic and I encourage all those who are overly stressed or in some way incapacitated to take on a hobby like knitting; it's a wonderful way to be productive AND relax at the same time! :)
I'm currently trying acupuncture as a new treatment for my headaches, thus the "Memoirs of a Pincushion" web name. My mother thought it would be a funny title for a book I could write about all the ridiculous things I've tried to find relief. Seems appropriate to apply it to the one thing I love to do when I can't do anything else!
I am incapable of doing only one project at a time, so there will always be lots of different projects on here in various stages of completion. Please feel free to suggest new projects or leave tips for ways to simplify directions or do something a better way!
