Ravelry Name? ThirdCstKnitBtch

As we all know, there isn’t a Bad Knit Girl that is the same as another. It’s not just the tattoos or the clothes, we possess an attitude and confidence that makes us stand out like vibrant green hair in a sea of blondes and brunettes . Once such BKG is Amber Wagoner in Texas (a.k.a. ThirdCstKnitBtch on Ravelry). She and I recently sat down for an online interview where I got to pick her noggin while I was flashed (by pictures of her tattoos, dirty ones) for an hour.

DawningDreams
This is so cool being the first to do the interview!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
No kidding
Man my font is huge
This is better
DawningDreams
LOL!
Alright, we’ll start with the basics. What’s your name and you Ravelry ID?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
ThirdCstKnitBtch…ThirdCstKnitBtch…which stands for Third Coast Knit Bitch…I am in South Texas
DawningDreams
Do you have any other public sites you rock or do you spend your whole day on Raverly?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
Capella.edu…for school…Ravelry OF COURSE, tmz.com because I’m a secret celebrity news whore
Foundmagazine.com is another favorite
DawningDreams
What’s foundmagazine.com?
Ha Ha, I see your pic!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
It’s a webzine that features things that people have found on the street….letters, pictures, and weird written things
thanks
DawningDreams
Oh!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
I tend to get bored and change that pic around all the time
DawningDreams
I know, I am constantly changing mine, especially since we started doing the 365 project on Flickr.
ThirdCstKnitBtch
I should have done that but I am sure I would forget one day
and I am horribly unphotogenic
DawningDreams
Ah, but that’s the beauty, you only have to be in it somehow, such as a toe of nose. : )
ThirdCstKnitBtch
ah ok
DawningDreams
It’s easier that way. Okay back to the fun at hand…
ThirdCstKnitBtch
lol ok
DawningDreams
How long have you been clicking the knitting sticks and/or crochet hooks?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
knitting almost two years….crocheting about 5 or 6 months….
DawningDreams
Great! I love that you do both. It really opens up new ways of doing things.
ThirdCstKnitBtch
I wanted to knit amigurumi’s and kept on going
DawningDreams
I think my first project was belly dancing cymbal covers.
ThirdCstKnitBtch
do you belly dance?
DawningDreams
Sometimes, small town doesn’t have much of a following. It’s really just my friends and me.
ThirdCstKnitBtch
Ah ok
DawningDreams
It’s makes for some interesting conversations around town though!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
I can imagine that it does
DawningDreams
So, do you have a fav set of needles i.e. knitpicks, denise, mom’s old hand-me-downs?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
I love bamboo….knitpicks are great…I am the only one in my family that knits or crochets
DawningDreams
I’ve heard that good bamboo needles are worth their weight in gold. What’s you favorite yarn?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
They are…metal makes my hands cramp…
anything soft and yummy…alpaca though is my favorite of the favorites
DawningDreams
It is scrumptious! I love the fuzzy texture but much softer than mohair…
ThirdCstKnitBtch
yea
DawningDreams
On the inverse, what yarn do you avoid at the LYS?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
anything acrylic…it squeaks when I knit with it
DawningDreams
I agree totally, but it seems that’s all they sell around here. I am constantly having to go online to order stuff. Is there anywhere online you like to get your knitting stuff?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
Where do you live?
DawningDreams
Ada, OK
ThirdCstKnitBtch
Knitpicks.com….but I live in San Antonio so we have two LYS and Michaels, Joanne and hobby lobby
DawningDreams
I am so jealous!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
Yea Ada is tiny
lol
my dad is from beaver
DawningDreams
Okay, that was really funny to read!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
hahaha yea…
I didn’t think of that before I sent it lol
DawningDreams
I’m still giggling. ..
ThirdCstKnitBtch
lol
DawningDreams
SO, beyond coming from the great Beaver, what project are you working on?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
hahaha…danica that entrelac scarf…its about a foot done….in chocolate brown and purple
and a beanie hat for my husband that he can wear to work
and a ton of projects in the wings
DawningDreams
Mmm…I like your color choices.
ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams
I LOVE that combination! Did you see the apron I made Bohoknitterchic in those?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
no ill have to look, I LOVE it too…my kitchen when we move will be coffee…chocolate brown, pink, robin’s egg blue and green
I have an apron I have cut out just need to sew…when I move I will finish it
DawningDreams
Nice. (said with a Joey Tribiani from friend accent)
ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams
I want to know more about you fabulouso tattoos! Of course I get the pleasure of viewing your knit girl right now, but what others do you have?
ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams

ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams
Of course, it all started with a butterfly!

ThirdCstKnitBtch

but…I had my nose, tongue, tragus, industrial, nipples
DawningDreams

ThirdCstKnitBtch
So far it is great..they already have Knit Two out
DawningDreams
I saw, that’s what made me think twice about reading it.
ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams
I’m usually into romance/erotic novels and Friday Night Knit Club” didn’t sound up my alley.
ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams
I love to look at all the one-of-a-kind things, but am flabbergasted at the prices sometimes!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
me too
and I think…I can do that lol
DawningDreams
Yea, for me to sew an apron is $3 and to buy one is $15. Huh?!
ThirdCstKnitBtch

ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams
I agree, do you make anything besides knitting/crochet?
ThirdCstKnitBtch

DawningDreams
A woman after my own heart!
I want to learn to quilt, but the college here didn’t offer it this past semester.
ThirdCstKnitBtch
lol I am queen crafty around here
DawningDreams

ThirdCstKnitBtch
damn!
DawningDreams
I’m about to just start sewing bits of fabric together until I get a blanket!
Lord knows I have enough of it lying around!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
go for it
make for an interesting quilt
DawningDreams
More like a memory quilt of the projects I’ve done and forgotten about.
ThirdCstKnitBtch
lol
there ya go
DawningDreams
Here’s a great one! If you had a magical mirror that allowed you to see all your wonderful attributes, what would they be. (come on and fess up.)
Obviously crafting is in there!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
giving, trusting, crafting, smart, funny
DawningDreams
You are definitely a keeper!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
I like to think so
DawningDreams
Hmmm… how about if you had a wish, what would it be?
ThirdCstKnitBtch
more wishes!
DawningDreams
LOL!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
independent wealth?
DawningDreams
Okay, that’s not allowed!
There’s a lot that can be done with wealth… open a yarn/porn store so you can get away with fondling the yarn all day.
ThirdCstKnitBtch
hell yea!
DawningDreams
I’ve run down to my final question. Envelope please!
Why do you love the Bad Knit Girls so much?

DawningDreams
In all shapes, sizes, tattoos, breeds, and clothes!
ThirdCstKnitBtch
