SP9 Questionnaire
I joined another swap - my first Secret Pal. Here goes.
The Questionnaire
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
answer: I like natural fibers. I am big on wool, wool cotton, silk, alpaca...... As for brand names, I like Rowan, Koigu, Lang. I do not like "novelty" yarns, fluffy, sparkly, eyelash....
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
answer: my new refurbished antique cabinet. (pics to come)
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
answer: A long time, years. I don't remember how I learned, but I was about 10 yrs old. I think I am an adventurous intermediate.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
answer: Why yes, I do. my wish list
5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.)
answer: Hmm, citrus fruits, or spices - no flowers.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
answer: Only certain times of the month. But I do like salty/sweet combo like Flips - those white chocolate covered pretzels. YUM
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
answer: I was a BIG cross-stitcher for years, I can crochet, and I sew. I have tried my SIL's spinning wheel. I am not good at it. I have a handmade CD spindle, a book and roving but I haven't really sat down to try it.
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)
answer: I am a 40+ something who loves Pop music. Love.It. (we used to call it top 40) I have an iPod and I have a place to play CDs.
9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
answer: Jewel tones. I like burgundy, deep blues, ANY greens, rust, gold, I guess you could say "fall like." I am not a girlie-girl so no pinks/purples/pastels.

16. Do you own a yarn winder and/or swift?
answer: I have a yarn winder - everyone should have one of these! - and I use my mom for my swift.
17. How old is your oldest UFO?
answer: Just my currents, so about 1 week. I am monogamous to projects and either "finish or frog" In fact I just finished 1 pomatomus and after 1 day of realizing that I didn't like the feel of it on and it would take forever to knit sock #2.......I frogged it.
18. What is your favorite holiday?
answer: Besides Flag Day (hint hint) I like Christmas best.
19. Is there anything that you collect?
answer: Not anymore. I have been overrun by a collection and pared way down.
20. Any books, yarns, needles or patterns out there you are dying to get your hands on?
answer: I have been waiting for the new Vogue on the go: Pets book to come out (Nov) I think it looks cute - I don't have a little pet and don't know if I would make anything from it - I think I just want to see pups in sweaters ;- )
