1. What kind of fibers do you prefer?
Wool. I'm starting to branch out to soy silk and the like. I don't care much for the feel of cotton though.
2. What kind of weight do you prefer (sock, worsted, bulky)?
Sock weight, mostly.
3. Do you spin?
Yes.
4. Do you crochet?
Yes.
5. Are there any books, patterns, magazines would you like to own that you don't?
Oh, are there books! See the link to my Amazon wish list below. As far as patterns go, I really want the Rogue Hooded Pullover and the Eris V-Neck Cardigan from the Girl from Auntie website, but I haven't purchased either of them yet.
6. Are you participating in any themed a-longs like the Project Spectrum?
No, not currently. I am participating in the L&V sock marathon in an attempt to knit up as much sock yarn as possible, before it attacks me and smothers me in my sleep.
7. Do you have a wishlist on Amazon.com or Half.com? (provide a link)
Yes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1909UOMBJ33QH/
8. Any Etsy stores that you would love to get something from?
Fearless Fibers, Vidabliss (Funky Carolina), Bird In Hand Yarn, TwoLoops (Yarn All Over)...
9. What other crafty things are you involved in (quilting, drawing, painting)?
I like doing scrapbooking, sewing, and painting but have not had time to do any of this lately. I love pottery (as in take a lump of clay and make something with it) and silk painting too but saddly have not done either in years.
10. What is your favorite sort of scent?
Fresh scents and earthy scents. Sandalwood and amber are two of my all-time faves. Anything with names like Fresh Rain is good. I also like the smell of almond fragrance, especially in soaps.
11. Do you have a sweet tooth and what kind of sweets do you like best?
Oh, yes. My big weakness is Peanut M&Ms. I LOVE Peanut M&Ms!
12. What kind of music do you like?
It's easier to say what I don't like...rap, most country music, and that stuff that's so popular right now that always starts out with some guy going, "Yeah...uh, huh...that'swhatI'msayin'...". It just doesn't do anything for me. Faves are British New Wave from the 80s, 80s alternative/underground, celtic music, Sting, and really hard stuff like Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. Yep, I said it, Marilyn Manson.
13. What do you like to knit? And for whom?
I usually knit socks for myself. I've also made a shawl for my grandmother and two scarves for my mom. I just recently purchased Victorian Lace Today and am really fascinated by the idea of making some of the pieces in that book. I am also getting ready to start a Charlotte's Web Shawl.
14. What sort of things do you like to collect?
Dragons, penguins, sock yarn, spinning fiber, and anything Monty Python.
15. Do you want needles? And what kind do you prefer?
I have a lot of needles but it never hurts to have more. I seem to have lost my set of KnitPicks dpns in size 0. I also just learned how to do the Magic Loop technique and want to learn how to do 2 socks on 2 circs, but I only have one size 2 circular needle.
