SP9 Questionnaire
1. What is your favorite yarn to knit with? I like yarns that feel good in my hands which opens the door for quite a variety. I do not care for some of the acrylics. I love working with cashmere (who wouldn't?) Angora has a super duper feel. But, I love most of the wool blends that are made by Debbie Bliss, Jo Sharp etc. etc.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in? Several cases.
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 years ago but I was not that interested at that time. I started knitting again about two years ago...maybe it is three. I would consider myself intermediate.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? Yes, I have an Amazon wish list.
5. What's your favorite scent? Vanilla is always a safe choice and I like lavendar also.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Sometimes Favorite Candy? I generally stick to sugarless hard candies. I also satisfy my sweet tooth with fruits. Trying to be healthy these days.
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin? I am learning how to make quilts and enjoying that. Some scrapbooking. Knitting is definately at the top of the list but I had to branch out because of my arm. I have a 1922 sock knitting machine and I am trying to master that. I do not spin. At least not yet.
8. What kind of music do you like? Oldies but Goodies, some Country, Folk Music, Classical
Theme music i.e. The Lion King etc. I dislike hard rock and hip hop. Can your computer/sterio play MP3's? What's an MP3? So, I guess the answer to that in No. I am trying to do research on IPODS etc. and MP3 players, but I'm not there yet. :-)
9. What's your favorite color? Any colors you just can't stand? I enjoy almost all colors and I cannot think of a color that I can't stand.
10. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? I am married to a wonderful man. I have three step children and several kids that I refer to as mine who were exchange students that lived with us for a year and have all been back to visit. Then there is Jen who works for us and is like a daughter. The exchange students were from Japan, Panama, Honduras, Poland and Costa Rica. Currently Lucy (from Costa Rica) is living with us however she will be going home on December 19th. We have three beautiful cats Clover, Buffy and Sophie and two lovely dogs Blue and Poppy.
11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos? Yes to scarves, hats and mittens and no to ponchos.
12. What is your favorite item to knit? I enjoy sweaters, socks and I wish one of my girls would have a baby so I could make another baby blanket. It was lots of fun.
13. What are you knitting right now? I am working on the second sleeve of a sweater which I hope to finish tonight. I just started a beaded scarf which is interesting. There is a great deal of potential for using this technique on numerous projects. I have a pair of socks on needles and have started a pair of socks on my machine. I have just done the guage for a hooded sweater that I will be making next.
14. Do you like to receive handmade gifts. Yes, I very much enjoy receiving handmade gifts.
15. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Bamboo, aluminum, or plastic? I really prefer circular needles. I like the ease of Addi Turbos, however I find when I am making a sweater that it is better if I use bamboo circulars as I am able to keep my guage more consistent if that makes any sense. Or the other option is to use about two sizes smaller in the Addi Turbo.
16. Do you own a yarn winder and or swift? Yes, both.
17. How old is your oldest UFO? I would guess that the oldest UFO is a lace scarf that I am working on off and on. It is six different patterns, I have completed 4 of them. It takes a bit on concentration when working on it.
18. What is your favorite holiday? I would have to say Thanksgiving. It's a nice time to be with family and friends. I reflect on all that I have to be thankful for and it's a very long list.
19. Is there anything that you collect? I would say yarn and knitting books are my weakness. I do have great consumer resistance for other things. It's not that I don't appreciate many other things, but I can rarely answer yes to the "Do you Need This?" question.
20. Any books, yarns, needles or patterns out there you are dying to get your hands on? Yes, I would love to have Jo Sharps number 2 pattern book. My LYS are all sold out. What knitting magazines subscriptions do you have? My subscription to Creative Knitting just expired but I didn't want to renew it. Currently I do not have any subscriptions.
21. Are there any new techniques you'd like to learn. I would love to learn how to knit Continental and I would very much like to master this machine I bought.
22. Are you a sock knitter? Oh yes! Love Sock knitting. What are your foot measurments? I wear a size 9 shoe.
23. When is your birthday? March 7th
And last but not least there was one question that had been asked previously and was not on the list this go around, but I am alergic to cigarette smoke.
