Just for Fun

Me and my dog, Bella! Thanks for clicking on my sprout! Welcome to my secret page of fun, hobbies, and stuff.

That's my dog Bella. She's a sassy little Bichon Poodle who loves chicken and hates vacuums. She says arf!

Knitting and Crocheting

I’ve been knitting and crocheting since I was eight years old. Here are a few of my favorite recent projects from my favorite hobby.

Inspired by a Reddit post and my friends' love for Animal Crossing, three money pouches customized with their favorite colors. A lap blanket for my dad's birthday made by sewing together several strips of knitted Celtic cables (it is only half-done in this photo, oops!). I wanted an ugly Christmas sweater but couldn't find the perfect one, so I designed and knitting an ugly Christmas scarf instead. An obnoxious double-sided scarf to celebrate graduating from Columbia Engineering, complate with my signature, SEAS crown logo, and "COMPUTER SCIENCE" in gold beads. My research mentor and I didn't get an in-person graduation thanks to Coronavirus, so I crocheted us mini graduation gowns (left is doctoral, right is bachelors) for our pens to wear. Ollie the Octopus (top left) was my high school senior mascot, so of course I crocheted some mini octokids (Princess is pink, Cotton Candy is blue, and Beelzebub is purple). The rainbow guy in the back is Kumquatz (I made him in middle school).
