1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? I really love working with merino and cotton. I hate chunky chenille, it made my hands hurt and covered me in little red fuzzies. I also don't like those novelty fringey type yarns, they're very annoying to work with.

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I'm using an old tackle box for the ones of reasonable size, anything with projects on it or anything really big gets stuck in a skein and goes in the big Tupperware bin.

3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced? I started when I was 12 or so. My dad helped me learn from a book. I picked it up again about six months ago. I'm going to say I'm sort of a stupid intermediate. I'm not afraid of challening projects, I just don't have the time right now to sit down and learn them. After May, when I am down to one job, I will knit much more.

4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? No, I don't know what I'd put on it. Terry Pratchett books, maybe.

5. What's your favorite scent? Food cooking. Especially when it's something I've cooked. I'm sure if it smells good that means it's not going to kill me when it's finished. Pretty sure, at least.

6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy? I do not have a sweet tooth. I do have a craving for those jolly rancher candies with the liquid fillings in them. They tend to be sort of sour though, so I suppose they wouldn't satisfy an actuall "sweet" tooth.

7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? I like to cook.

8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? I like a lot of 90s alternative, 70s funk, and some obsure British bands. Makes for an odd playlist. Yes, send me MP3s.

9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand? I like green and black. I don't really like red. Well...not true. I don't really like red on me.

10. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? I have a husband, two cats and a puppy named Steve.

11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos? I wear hats and scarves all the time, even in the summer. I'm a terminal glove-loser.

12. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit? Items for me!

13. What are you knitting right now? "Cleaves" from knitty.com, and a sort of chunky lilac tank top. Oh, and a lacey shawl made out of novelty pink disco ball looking yarn.

14. Do you like to receive handmade gifts? Yes, send me gifts.

15. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Straight or double-pointed needles, in bamboo! Bamboo, bamboo, I like to type bamboo.

16. Do you own a yarn winder and/or swift? No, I let the cats unwind my yarn and then I scramble around and rewind it in any order possible before they can swallow it : (

17. How old is your oldest UFO? Ummmm......five months.

18. What is your favorite holiday? Thanksgiving and Halloween are both near and dear.

19. Is there anything that you collect? Lovers? Black knee high nylons. I buy them cheaply and in bulk, because they can be worn with anything.

20. Any books, yarns, needles or patterns out there you are dying to get your hands on? What knitting magazine subscriptions do you have? Nah, I'm a browser. If I see something I covet I'll buy it individually or try to find something comparable for free.

21. Are there any new techniques you'd like to learn? I'm going to learn cabled knitting soon. Soon!

22. Are you a sock knitter? What are your foot measurements? I knit many socks in the quest to make Ben's giant wool "Penis Envy" socks. I discovered I liked it but have knit none for myself. My foot is 9.5 inches long and my thick man ankle is 8.5 inches around. I like knee socks (for those of you who want to make or buy me some!) and from heel to knee is 18."

23. When is your birthday? March six. I just turned 25 19. *shifty eyes*
