**elphie (she/her) is a middle-aged nerdling based in the uk. come and join the octopile!** I crochet Pride Flag octos and then sell them to raise money for my LGBTQIA+ Little Free Library. Most of the time I'll be making octos, sometimes I might knit if I'm feeling fancy. I also occasionally play Overwatch, currently I'm mostly playing D.VA. I got mad skillz. As I have chronic fatigue, my streams tend to be between 1-3 hours long.
