SP6 Questionnare
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you? I sort of am a snob. I really love working with nice yarn. I use Red Heart and Lion Brand for baby stuff, but for me, I usually go with good stuff.
2. Do you spin? Crochet? I don't like to crochet at all. I've not learned to spin yet, but I'm intrigued!
3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.) nope!
4. How long have you been knitting? 2 years in November!
5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?I have one at Amazon.
6. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.) I'm really into Bath and Body Works' Fig and Brown Sugar right now. I like warm scents (plum, vanilla, pumpkin) and clean scents (Fresh Comfort by Yankee Candle)
7. Do you have a sweet tooth? I totally do. I love red swedish fish and chocolate! Lately I've been into dark chocolate with peanut butter... I am a Starbucks JUNKEE, and I love Diet Coke.
8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? I'm getting into beading, and I love paper crafts.
9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s?Either MP3 or CD is fine, and I love most music. I've been into cheesy dance/pop and classic rock lately. Weird combo!
10. What's your favorite color? Or--do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer? Any colors you just can't stand? I just did my craft room in hot pink and orange, and my kitchen is lime green. I really don't think that there is a color I don't like.
11. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? I live with a very small weinerdog named Zoe.
12. What are your life dreams? (really stretching it here, I know) I'd love to own a store!!!
13. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? I'm hooked on Brown Sheep's Cotton Fleece, but I'm really interested in making something with that Mission Falls cotton or Koigu.
14. What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?anything too splitty like microspun or homespun... I'm not a fan of acrylics. I'm totally against fun fur.
15. What is/are your current knitting obsession/s? I'd really like to make a poncho if I can find the right pattern, and I'm into things with bulky yarn.
16. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit? I'm not sure!! I love sweaters and tanks. I loved making the Lelah, so I'm into lace I guess. I'm sort of boycotting socks right now.
17. What are you knitting right now? some little tiny sweaters from Weekend Knitting and a Chickami. I'm getting ready to start the Sven from Cottage Creations.
18. What do you think about ponchos?I really like the idea, but I've yet to find a pattern that will look ok on me.
19. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? I'm much happier when I don't have to sew pieces together, so circular rocks my world.
20. Bamboo, aluminum, plastic?bamboo, but I'd like to try some of the Addi Turbos.
21. Are you a sock knitter? not lately, but I have about a million balls of sock yarn.
22. How did you learn to knit? my mom. And I hang out at my LYS a lot, and the owner is great about showing techniques and fixing mistakes. She is a knitting genius!
23. How old is your oldest UFO? about 6 months. It is the body of the cardigan from the front of the first SNB with the sleeves from the red sweater on the cover of SNB Nation
24. What is your favorite animated character or a favorite animal/bird? I love bumblebees and weinerdogs.
25. What is your favorite holiday?Halloween and Christmas. I'm big into snowmen.
26. Is there anything that you collect? snowmen and weinerdogs. I'm really into funky stickers and sushi stuff (magnets, etc. I'm trying to talk myself into getting sushi jewelery and stitchmarkers from amyville.com). I love sparkly, glittery things. I collect travel tumblers from Starbucks, too! I also LOVE their city ceramic mugs. I have Chicago, Las Vegas, Portland, San Diego, and the California State one.
27. What knitting magazine subscriptions do you have? none!!! I'd love Interweave Knits, though.
28. Any books out there you are dying to get your hands on? yes, I saw one called "Pet Crafts" that looks like a lot of fun.
29. Any patterns you have been coveting, but haven't bought for one reason or another?? There is a snowman embellishment kit that goes on a Christmas Stocking from www.woolandcompany.com that I'd LOVE to make.
30. What are your foot measurements, and what kind of socks do you like? I wear an 8.5 or 9. I love funky, seasonal socks. I have a pair with turkeys on them, but not really very many other fall socks. I love sushi socks. I'm still looking for a pair of weinerdog socks.
