Starting out...

Hi all, whoever you may be. My name is Caroline.

I'm a New York transplant from Santa Cruz, California looking for my next great adventure. Back in Santa Cruz I lived on about 15 acres outside of the city in Aptos, focusing on farming and outdoor living while getting my BS in Ecology. I specialized in Herpetology (amphibian and reptile science) and worked as a research assistant and lab tech for various university labs. Now I live in a one bedroom apartment with my cat and patient boyfriend in Queens, NY, and work for a law office in the city. 

I'm starting this blog as a response to my own blog skimming experiences. As a scientist, I love math, physics, biology, and engineering. However, my hobbies have taken me to quite different places, from textiles to pottery, gardening to animal care, literature to cooking. I've found that knitting is one of the few hobbies that can really include all of my interests, and upon that revelation I caught the bug.

I've been an knitter since I was about 9, but really dove back in with active interest when I started my undergrad. Since then, I've sold pieces, done a commission or two, and really focused on developing my skill and style of knitting. I often look to other blogs for inspiration or new ideas, but I'd love to create a running journal of my experiences knitting in New York City, not just so that I can look back someday, but also so maybe others can learn from my experiences and projects. So, here it goes...
