About Karina, blogger for Knitting & Purling

Konnichiwa, hola, aloha and bonjour!

Things you gotta know about me? My name is Karina, and I’m the blogger behind the Knitting & Purling blog.

First off, I live and breathe arts and crafts (especially knitting, but also jewelry making, scrapbooking and photography!).

Secondly, I have a penchant for all things domestic… from cooking and baking, to home decor and interior design. Just think of me as a younger and more tech savvy version of Martha Stewart (whom I adore, by the way)!

And lastly, I love to shop. Period. I definitely have under my belt heavy duty experience in both offline and online shopping. I also strongly believe in buying handmade and supporting local artisans. Nothing makes me happier than purchasing one of a kind clothing, jewelry, fashion accessories, home furnishings, and more.

But just ’cause I’m a gal who loves to shop, doesn’t mean I’m a fan of splurging my hard earned cash! Follow my blog for money saving tips and tricks on how to lead a frugal lifestyle.

Oh, and P.S… to truly round up a description of my characteristics, you’ll need to throw in a dash of computer geekery (I’m a proud 100% nerdy girl, through and through!). This includes a love for all things SEO. Researching keywords? Dissecting crawl errors? That’s my kind of tech talk!

Don’t believe me? Check out my KnittingNPurling Etsy store, where I sell my line of handmade geeky gifts for computer nerds.
