Questionnaire
Okay. As usual I am down to the wire on this one. Here is my Secret Pal Questionnaire:
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? I love sock yarn. Yummy, yummy sock yarn. My stash is full of sock yarn. Mostly I like non-acrylic yarns. Nothing scratchy or squeaky.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in? I have a roll for the dps and the rest are shoved into my basket.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced? I learned to knit in the third grade - that was more than 30 years ago but I picked it up again about a year and a half ago.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? yes but there is very little knitting stuff on there. here it is:www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/002-5630517-9380824
5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.) I lke single florals like lavender or peony or herbal scents like rosemary or mint.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy? I love chocolate - dark chocolate.
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin? I do a lot of sewing for my litle business, I paint,make jewelry, take photographs. I don't spin and I am afraid to start because I have so many other neglected hobbies already.
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) I am pretty fussy about music. I like alt-country, classic rock, punk, new wave. I am a child of the 80's but I cannot stand hair bands. My computer and stereo can both MP3's but almost everything goes onto my IPod.
9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand? I really like almost all colors except bubblegum pink or anything too neon. I tend to favor purples and blues and greens but lately I have been liking a lot of oranges and browns.
10. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? I live with my boyfriend, my son is away at college. We have 4 cats and 2 dogs.
11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos? Scarves definitely, hats sometimes, usually mittens but never a poncho.
12. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit?I like socks. My friend calls me the "sock queen" but I have not had enough time to do much knitting lately.
13. What are you knitting right now? I have 2 pairs of socks on the needles. I have a mostly finished intarsia felted bag - the big one from IK last Spring.
14. Do you like to receive handmade gifts? I love handmade gifts.
15. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Bamboo, aluminum, plastic? I like dpns. I love the rosewood or ebony ones from Lantern Moon. I like the Brittany Birch straights. I think Bamboo is my second pick. I don't really like metal but I do have a couple pairs of Addi Turbo that are good.
16. Do you own a yarn winder and/or swift?no and no but I am ready to splurge on one or both very soon.
