QotD is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 5 Year Question a Day Memory Journal. The journal states its purpose is to help reflect back on daily routine and to act as a “time capsule” of experiences. As someone who laments their awful memory, I thought this was a wonderful tool and opportunity.

I am super passionate about…

Many things. Books. Mythology. Video Games. Art. My Partner. My animals. Getting your animals fixed. Music. Sleep. Crafts. My dreams. Being good at my job.

If I had to pick two right now, it would be my thread crafts and art. Ever since I discovered art books on Kickstarter, I have been trash for them. I actually have an entire bookshelf now solely dedicated to my artbooks. I also have been hyperfixated on crochet and knitting since my partner bought me a knitting machine.

Last year, I finished my first crochet blanket and gave it to my dad. I have also worked through a significant number of skeins in my stash as part of my efforts to reduce clutter in my home.. Since then, I have been burning through so many. I am happy because I can complete a full scarf in a day. When working through blankets, I can also finish a full skein in one day. My goal this year is to broaden my knowledge my learning new patterns and stitches, but we’ll see how that goes.

I also have made about 14 hats on my knitting machine . It’s just so addicting since I can complete a full hat in about an hour.

The thread…they have me in a chokehold…
