- Do you knit or crochet? How long have you been at your craft? I knit. I've been knitting now off an on since I was 9 years old, but only really picking it up just after getting married in 2005. I do not crochet, I don't really like it.
- Do you spin? What type of spinning? I am not into spinning, I'd rather spend the little free time I have knitting.
- What are your favorite yarns/fibers? What are your least favorite yarns/fibers? I am a fiber snob. I hate acrylic yarn the most, and not really a fan of cotton either. Also, anything novelty makes me cringe.... fun fur, eyelash, chenille, ugh! Anything novelty = bad. On the other hand, I'm a huge sock yarn fan. I love both 100% wool and also yarn that is superwash (for socks).
- What are your favorite colors? What are your least favorite colors? I love any shade of green/blue (and teal/turquoise), pinks, reds, purples (new fave color). I am not a fan of construction sign orange or mustard yellow.
- Are there any yarns/brands that you are dying to work with but never have? I'd love to try out some Lovesticks Self Stripping yarn, as well as PacaPed sock yarn and also Sundara Sock yarn. I've never tried sKNITches yarn or Wollmeise... Oh totally want to get my hands on some Wollmeise.
- What is/are your favorite types of projects to knit/crochet? I love to knit anything socks or baby (sized) at the moment. Though, with socks, right now I have 2nd Sock Syndrome... never seem to get a 2nd one knit. I have two solo socks right now, LOL. Though, I love to knit anything at all.
- What are you currently working on? Anything you plan to work on this summer? What am I not working on? I am currently working on a baby sweater for my soon-to-be-born son. Also, I have an 18 month sized pullover for my son that needs to be done before he outgrows 18 month size (LOL). I also have a sock yarn blankie (with leftovers) in progress for my son (like a security blankie idea). On the needles are also: Sweet Baby Cap, A Drive Thru for my nephew, Monkey Socks, Chevron Scarf, Sofia, And this pair and this pair of socks are 50% done, (Second Sock Syndrome!) I feel like I'm missing something, LOL....
- What is your favorite FO? (Post a pic if you would like.)
So far, to date, my fave FO is the baseball sweater I made Sean. I can't wait for Mackenzie to fit into it. (Sean only got to wear it once, unfortunately...!) - What is your oldest UFO? It seems that my Woven Trellis Scarf is the oldest. I DO plan on finishing it one day....!
- Are there any techniques that you want to learn? Yes, I'd love to learn how to do entrelac. It's on the list of things to accomplish. Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
