Secret Pal 9 Questionnaire
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I prefer wool. I do not like acrylic.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
The sets that came in a case (the zippered sort) are stored in their cases. Most of the others are stored in a flower vase.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I taught myself to knit about 15 years ago. I consider myself between intermediate and advanced. There are so many techniques out there, I may never consider myself advanced.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
Yes, but I don't really have knitting related items on them. I may change that.
5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.)
I like spicey scents like vanilla, hazelnut, etc. Things that make your house smell like you are cooking something delicious.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
I love dark chocolate, but probably my favorite candy is the Cadbury Dairy Milk.
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
Besides knitting, I sew, crochet, and embroider. I will be taking up spinning when I get a spindle in a current swap I am in. Mainly, though, I knit.
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)
I like U2, Irish and Scottish folk music, and Bob Marley. My pc plays mp3's and my stereo sometimes does. If it is in the mood.
