Hello There!

Alexandra Bomhoff in a meadow at Cedar Rock State Park in Iowa.

I’m Alexandra. I have an undergraduate degree in social work and a graduate degree in library and information science. I enjoy exploring, organizing information, writing a saga about a sasquatch and yeti, playing bluegrass and midwestern music, embroidering, crocheting, and quilting.

Current work-in-progress — a cardigan using 54 seven-round granny squares

Another work-in-progress — halfway through a hexagon voting cardigan

Josh Gorman and I are in a duo, calling ourselves Beaverdale Babies. I play ukulele and sing and he plays guitar.

This was Josh and me playing at Deb’s Brewtopia in Elkader, Iowa in 2025
