SP10 questionnaire

I dig it all a enjoy trying all sorts of yarns. I really like the soft wool blends most and really dig colors.

I put my extra needles in a large cloth lined basket with my yarn in my living room closet. I keep my hooks and other must haves in my knittin’ bag, I always need to use them for something.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I am new to this hobby I have been knitting actively for a year and a half. I learned from a co-worker. She began a weekly knitting lunch hour group and I wanted to give it a try. I instantly loved and have been clicking ever since. My skill level is nearly intermediate.

Sure do. There’s plenty of nifty things to be found there.
5. What's your favorite scent?
Peony, Magnolia, Rose, Lilly of the Valley. Light floral types of scents.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?

I do not spin, maybe someday. Other crafts: cross stitch, scrap booking (not as much), jewelry making, and paper crafts.
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s?

I dig red and deep pinks. Love blues and greens. I like color. Not a fan of the 70s goldenrod or avocado.

I am married with two little girls. We have, I mean, I have a cat, Gaea. She’s cool. She plays fetch and attacks dogs that get in our yard. So she’s sort of a dog-cat. And she's a good snuggle fuzzy friend.

I have a few things going on right now. I have in progress: 1 hat, 1 scarf, 1 sweater and thoughts of a blanket and funky kids' hats. Whoa I totally have the multi-project thing obsession. I have to knit when I’m out and about so I try to have little projects that can fit in my purse. The biggies stay at home.
14. Do you like to receive handmade gifts?
Oh do I ever!
15. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Bamboo, aluminum, plastic?
Umm, circular? Yikes! I haven’t tried those yet, but I’m going to real soon. No bamboo, no aluminum and no plastic. They and I do not mix well. I use wood. I prefer to use my Rosewood Pony brand needles. They are so choice. The Brittany needles are good too.

Nope.

No knitting magazine subscriptions. I’d like AlterKnits by Leigh Radford and Knit 2 Together by Tracey Ullman et al. Yarn is always good. Any baby alpaca yarn is a pleasure to get.

Oh am I so wanting to do lace. That’s the big hurdle for me. My goal is to work on learning how to lace this year.
