About the "Scottish Gypsy"
My husband is of Scottish descent. After our first child was born, my Hungarian grandfather jokingly and affectionately referred to our son as "a little Scottish Gypsy." While the nickname didn't last, we thought it makes a great name for a web site.
About Me
- Shelly Jones taught me to knit our junior year in college -- long long ago before it was trendy.
- I knit the German (Continental or Swiss) style. I am self-taught.
- I've learned the rest through lots and lots of practice, frustration, anger, and unraveling complete sweaters. This is normal behavior in an obsessed knitter.
- In college I majored in English literature and minored in studio art from a small liberal, emphasis on liberal, arts college in Ohio.
- I am married to a fabulous man
- We have 2 wonderful sons
- We finally have a pet, but don't laugh, it's a Betta fish we named SKY (I managed to kill him in 10 days) We have a new Betta fish named FLAME that I have not killed. He's dumber than a door knob but loves to eat.
