SP 10 Questions

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I love Lambs Pride and Socks That Rock.

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I have two needle rolls for straights, but dpns and circulars are just in a box.

3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
About 5 years. I taught myself from a Lion Brand kit. I would say intermediate. I have no problems figuring out new techniques, but there are still lots of things I haven't tried.

4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?

5. What's your favorite scent?
Right now I would have to say coconut. I have other scents I like listed on my other questionnaires, but at this time of year when the weather starts getting nice, I really like more "tropical" type fragrances.

6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
I love maple sugar candy. Just about any type of candy or chocolate would be good though.

7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
I have a spindle.

I like just about any type of music, and I can play MP3s

9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
I love color! Pinks, reds, oranges, greens.... Not so much "earthy" colors, although a nice gray or olive green can be good. Most yellows don't look good on me.

10. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets?
Husband, 19 month old son and baby on the way. Two cats.

Socks, baby sweater and blanket.
