Hi! I'm the Purple Poet also known as Lexi. I love to read and knit the day away and I wanted somewhere I could record my hobbies. I started knitting at a young age so young I don't even really remember when. A lady in my parents church was knitting and I asked her what it was and she then sat with me and showed me my first knit stitch and I've been hooked ever since. I have also had a turbulent past with reading. When I was little I had a really hard time spelling words. Honestly, I still do have a hard time with my spelling. I hated reading up until probably middle school, then I fell into reading when I picked up my first young adult fiction novel at the local library and haven't been without a book since. When I started enjoying reading I then came across Edgar Allen Poe, I know cliche, and fell in love with poetry. I never trully learned how to build phrasing or anything I kind of just write what feels, well, right. So I hope you enjoy what little bits of me you find here in my art.
