Bio
knittingfrenzy18 is a energetic, way-too-many-interests girl who currently lives in Maryland. Her interests include cello, cross-country running, Latin, knitting, NASCAR, ping-pong, piano, and many more things, not to mention math. knittingfrenzy18 prefers you to call her Red, since that is her favorite color, as well as being way shorter than knittingfrenzy18.
knittingfrenzy18 especially likes learning languages; English is her first language, she is almost fluent in Mandarin Chinese, currently in Latin 2, and knows a snip of Spanish, German, French, and Korean.
She is half-Taiwanese and half-Korean.
knittingfrenzy18 requests you to call her Red. Just Red. Not knittingfrenzy18, knitting, kf18, Purple, potato, or anything of the sort.

AoPS Projects
Games
Red has modded only one game, which was mod-abandoned by herself. It was a minigame/kill the other team type game called Alligators and Crocodiles, which initially stemmed from her having accidentally called a TA a crocodile in her first class.
Red has also planned Mole 11, whose start is delayed by personal issues.
