SP9 Questionnaire
Wow - almost that time again! I had such spoiling and being spoiled that I want to do it again. Not surprisingly, most of my answers have stayed the same.
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? Love alpaca, alpaca blends, wool that is soft. Don’t like harsh feel or colors, the usual curse of acrylics, though the newer microfiber yarns look interesting.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in? Needle case for straight needles, DPNs and circs are in their packages in a basket.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced? My mother taught me to knit when I was nine, and I’ve been knitting for almost 35 years. I’m an intermediate knitter, as I haven’t tried Fair Isle, or intarsia, or entrelac.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? Amazon wish list is up to date.
5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.) Lavender
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy? Dark chocolate and mint, separately and together.
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin? Weaving.
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) 80’s alternative, almost anything Brenda Dayne has on her podcast.
9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand? Love bright and vibrant colors, jewel tones. Don’t like rust or orange.
10. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? One husband, two teenage kids (1 girl and 1 boy) and two dogs.
11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos? Scarves and mittens, including dressy scarves for work.
12. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit? I’ve knit the most scarves, though enjoy socks and learned to knit lace over the summer.
13. What are you knitting right now? Scarf for Funky Scarf Swap, socks, Icarus, another pair of socks, cotton cable sweater.
14. Do you like to receive handmade gifts? Yes, especially if the gift is quirky and/or witty in some way.
15. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Bamboo, aluminum, plastic? I like everything – it depends on the yarn. Bamboo DPNs for socks, aluminum for lace, plastic if the colors are fun.
16. Do you own a yarn winder and/or swift? Yarn winder, DH does swift duty.
17. How old is your oldest UFO? 13 years old – never finished DS baby blanket.
18. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas. I love the decorating and snow.
19. Is there anything that you collect? Other than yarn? Prints and posters from places we’ve visited.
20. Any books, yarns, needles or patterns out there you are dying to get your hands on? What knitting magazine subscriptions do you have? I’d like the Knit Fix book, and have a subscription to Interweave Knits.
21. Are there any new techniques you'd like to learn? Toe-up socks, with the picot edge.
22. Are you a sock knitter? What are your foot measurements? Yes, 9 ¼ inches long, and 9 inches around the instep and ankle.
23. When is your birthday? (mm/dd) January 23rd.
