hand-carved, wood, bamboo, or Cystalites. I also love Crochet Lites.

Yarn you totally hate with a passion? I really dont like to use silk noil, but I love to dye it. Also, I really dont like mohair or
anything too "fuzzy"
What's on the needle? Socks for my hubby and a martini dishcloth. On the hooks: purses galore, a starghan, and more
original design ideas.
Coolest knitting pattern: Anything by "Monkey Toes"
How many tattoos do you have? 4
What are the tattoos? All my tattoos are stars; I like the theme idea. Stars are something that can mean alot of
things: unique, punk, innocent (ha!), and so versatile
Any ink on the drawing board? I want wrist cuffs! They have to be tasteful, cause I need to keep my job! The left
wrist will have my hubbys name written in Arabic (most like Egyptian) on my left wrist and "big
sister" (also, most likely in Egyptian) on the right wrist, both incorporated into the cuffs.
Piercings? 6 in my ears (4 left, 2 right), left nipple (had to take the right one out), tongue, and belly
button. Currently contemplating a "below-the-belt"
Favorite color: Turquouise or anything else BRITE!

What do you do to pay for your knitting, tattoo, piercing habit? Social work; it doesnt keep me in tattoos, thats for sure! I do bilingual (English/Spanish)
outpatient therapy for a private, non-profit. I treat mental illness, substance use disorders, family stuff,
kids, adults, DV, trauma; pretty much everything! I do love it!
Any Kids/Pets?  A five year old "mog" (sorry for the Spaceballs reference!): a man/dog! Hes a dalmation/bull mix
that hubby and I adopted from a long-term, no-kill shelter in 2006.
All time favorite bands:  Green Day! Phil Vassar, Ataris, Ricardo Arjona, Daddy Yankee, Boyz II Men, Craig David,
