General Name/Nickname: Lace, Lacey Age or Age Group: 30s Country: United States Pronouns: she/her
Hobbies and Interests What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: Knitting, music (lots of things but especially American folk music), reading (fantasy, sci-fi, mystery)
Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: Knitting: I knit almost every day, either in the morning before work or in the evening, depending on my work schedule. For me, knitting is usually very relaxing, so it's what I do when I'm low on energy but I want to feel like I've accomplished something. Lately I've been getting into shawls. Music: in these pandemic times, I've been singing with myself on tiktok. I got into it through other shape note singers who were using the "duet" feature to sing with each other, and eventually it morphed into me recording all the parts of a song myself and editing them together. It's been a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot about my voice. Reading: I used to Always be partway through reading a book or some other kind of fiction, but lately I've gotten away from that a bit- it's harder for me to get to a library during open hours, and my library's ebook lending selection isn't super large. I maybe read one new Actual Book a month, plus occasional fanfiction and webcomics that I read when they update.
Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: TBH if I had understood when I was 18 how very much being a musician who performs for a living is unlike being a music student under constant pressure to play more difficult music, I might have tried to take that path.
Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: I would like to start sewing clothes for myself. I more or less know how- my mother sews a lot, and visiting the fabric store, picking out patterns, etc. was a big part of my childhood. But I don't have my own sewing machine, and... basically the wide-open breadth of possibilities of what I Could make has stopped me from actually getting started.
Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I would love to find more knitters / fiber arts people. I'm very much self-taught and I feel like there is always so much more to learn- I want to see what other people are doing.
General Journaling How often do you post?: Roughly once or twice a week. I'm not currently trying to keep a set schedule, but even when I'm pretty busy, I seem to end up posting at least that often.
Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I post about my knitting, what I'm reading, and my everyday life and what's on my mind.
Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: I'm not exactly Involved In Fandom myself currently, I guess, since "book fandom" is kind of a different beast. But I'm perfectly happy to read about it. I'm the kind of person who will happily read fic and meta for shows and movies I've never seen.
