Knitting survey
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you? It seems that I have become a yarn snob lately. I don't mind a little acrylic, as long as something isn't mainly acrylic. I just really love soooft yarns!
2. Do you spin? Crochet? I'd love to learn to spin. I tried signing up for a class at my lys, but I was the only one who signed up, so it was canceled. I know how to crochet, but I prefer knitting. Crochet is ok for edgings.
3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.) Nope, no allergies that I know of.
4. How long have you been knitting? I became interested in knitting Jan or Feb of 2002, but got busy with school and gave it up about a month later. I've been completely obsessed with knitting again since November of 2004.
5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? I think I did at one point, but don't remember. If I find it, I'll update this with a link.
6. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.) Honeysuckle, lavender, pear, cherry.
7. Do you have a sweet tooth? That's the only kind of tooth to have! I live for goood chocolate(anything but American chocolate!)
8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Anything I can think of. If I think of something I want sewn, I'll sew. If I want something built, I'll build it. I'd love to take a pottery wheel class and fling mud!
9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) I like most music, except rap and country. It all depends on my mood.
10. What's your favorite color? Or--do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer? Any colors you just can't stand? It seems that I'm very into turquoise, teal, blues, purples, maybe some green or red mixed in.
11. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? I live by myself with my awesome puppy Shiner! He's the best dog in the world!
12. What are your life dreams? (really stretching it here, I know) I'd love to someday explore the world, and see all of the places that most people don't think of seeing.
13. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? I've recently fallen in love with Noro and Alpaca yarns(even tho I'm in Texas and it's way too hot for that stuff!) I also love pretty sock yarns like Koigu and Cherry Tree Hill.
