'ello. Let me just start with saying I write wretched bios. I do like reading them however, so I will attempt something and hope the Grammar Avengers do not find me.
The BioData
We'll start with the obvious, my name's Jennifer Tallapaneni and I live in Dallas, Texas with the hubby, Mr. PieKnits and our endlessly amusing puppy, Aejaz. I consider myself a displaced northerner, having moved here a couple years ago from my hometown in Iowa. The weather here I do greatly appreciate but while trying to avoid being assimilated into using the phrase "y'all". The day job is multimedia/web development that lends itself well to playing with more techie things related to knitting/crafting at night.
The making stuff part
I have not been knitting for any great length of time but have been
making funky things long before I'd learned the term "crafting". I
went to school for Commercial Art/ Graphic Design and did some Fine
Art work as well. During that time I also got into making things,
and once created a computer, monitor, mouse and keyboard covered entirely
in zebra print fur. (Which I actually sold on eBay, ahhh eBay...)
I feel with knitting though it just 'clicked', to add to the overuse
of that phrase. I love the combination of creativity and technical
details. I'm a dual-minded kind of gal.
