SP3 Q & A
- Are you are yarn snob? To put it bluntly, yes. I never use Red Heart, but can tolerate some Lion Brand yarns, although I never buy it for myself. If I was stranded on a desert island, I would knit with it to pass the time.
- Do you spin or crochet? No, but I would like to crochet
- Do you have any allergies? I have asthma, so cigarette smoke and cat hair are my nemesis ('s?)
- How long have you been knitting? About 2 years, but I am a slow-study
- Do you have an Amazon or other online wishlist? Nope
- What's your favorite scent? I love buttercream candles and anything else that makes my house smell like I have been baking something yummy! Otherwise, anything that smells fresh and clean.
- Do you have a sweet tooth? No, I have sweet TEETH!
- What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? I quilt, sew, decorate, re-do thrift store finds
- What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3's? I listen to Christian rock. Yes, to the other.
- What's your favorite color? PINK, blues, some green, creamy white
- What is your family situation? Do you have pets? Husband, son (24), daughter (19) step-son (22) 2 grandkids (2 yr. old boy, 8 mo. old girl) and 2 grandkids I will probably never see, twins, a boy and girl, they are 4 yrs. old. (long story) I have 3 dogs ( 2 yorkies and 1 big pound puppy) and pond fish
- What are your life dreams? My life dream came true when I was medically retired in 2000, at the ripe old age of 38! (Another long story!)
- What is/are your favorite yarns to knit with? I love wool and wool blends with soft stuff, like Alpaca and Mohair. Some of the microfibers are amazing mixed with wools. Love anything Rowan/Debbis Bliss. I like cotton, but it needs to be a blend so it has a little more spring to it, ya know? It hurts my CTS to knit with too much 100% cotton (WAH!)
- What fibers do you absolutely NOT like? I like most everything, but I have never been one to buy the furry type novelty yarns. Although, I like them when they are put around the top of a felted purse or something like that.
- What is/are your current knitting obsession/s? All Rowan, ALL the time!
- What is/are your favorite items to knit? I love how fast a hat or beanie knits up. Instant gratification.
- What are you knitting right now? A cable sweater from long ago, Carla, from Rowan Cotton Tape, 2 pairs of socks, a scarf that was supposed to get donated to the church for cold poor people, and I know there are many more....Oh, forgot about Loll, AKA Skin tag sweater.
- What do you think about poncho's? I like the newer versions that aren't too retro looking
- Do you prefer straight or circular needles? I like 'em all, as long as they are good quality. I love to knit with my vintage Bakelite needles, they have a nice point.
- How did you learn to knit? My friend from church, who has knit forever.
- How old is your oldest UFO? 18 months, the cable sweater from above, (does that sound better than a year and a half?)
