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'm not a yarn snob, but I do prefer the higher quality yarns & definitely natural fibers. I use some craftstore yarn [right now I'm working on a tanktop in LB Cotton Ease] because I'm a young student with a budget, but I also splurge on the namebrands like Rowan, Berroco, Crystal Palace, etc ;]


2. Do you spin? Crochet? I'm learning to spin as soon as I get a drop spindle [shoot I already have a growing fiberstash!] and I do crochet, although not anywhere near as much as I knit. I have a feeling that might change after the new SNB comes out for crochet, I'm not a fan of most crochet patterns I've seen.

3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.) My only allergy is milk, although I sure wouldn't protest if there was a way to create milkfiber yarn! ;] Yarns with a high mohair content tend to make me sneeze, so I suppose that counts, too.


4. How long have you been knitting? Since last autumn. It's a quick addiction.


5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? Nope!


6. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.) Rose and lavender, but I'm not really picky.


7. Do you have a sweet tooth? :x mhhmmm


8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? If I haven't tried it, I would in a flash. Knitting's my prime craft, though.


9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) I love everything from hiphop to alternative rock to gospel. The only thing that I'm not too big on is country, but even I love me some Martina McBride at times :] I also love 70's and 80's dance music.


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've been diggin' the purples lately. Also, blue tones & pinks. Bright colors are my friend... and I don't discriminate against pretty much any color. Although I prefer not to knit with black, I tend to get bored.


11. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? I live with my mom [I'm still in highschool] and I have one pet rabbit named Sawyer :]


12. What are your life dreams? (really stretching it here, I know) I'd like to be accomplished in some kind of career [possibly in the areas of psychology, music, midwifery, or journalism. I haven't decided yet], but that's not *the* most imporant thing to me. I'd love to eventually study music/worship at a bible college or a university, be a wife and mom, travel, and have money to feed my yarn addiction ;] Who knows how that will turn out.


13. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? Any cotton blends, right now. I've been dying to try Rowan's Calmer but my LYS doesn't carry it. I'd have to say as far as texture, probably Rowan's Cotton Rope, or Trendsetter ScoubiDu.


14. What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? 100% acrylic, generally.


15. What is/are your current knitting obsession/s? Tank tops. Cottons blends. Anything I can design myself.


16. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit? Tank tops. Big enough but not too big. Purses, but I'm kinda "pursed out" right now.


17. What are you knitting right now? Tank top out of LB Cotton Ease. I'm trying to finish that ASAP before I start a new project.


18. What do you think about ponchos? I made one, it was fun, especially since I used size 11 needles. The bad thing is that I used a mohair blend yarn, which not only makes me sneeze but is also too warm for Vegas summers.


19. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Circular! I have my Denise set and I love it to death.


20. Bamboo, aluminum, plastic? I like them all at times. Bamboo for straights, mostly. I love my plastic Denises.


21. Are you a sock knitter? Not yet. I can't find purple-purple sock yarn. Only semi-purple or light purple.


22. How did you learn to knit? I was set to teach myself, had a book, needles, and yarn...I was out with friends and had a few minutes to sit and try to figure it out, but after a little while of unsuccesfully trying, I was getting so frusturated that I threw down my needles and yarn and said loudly, "I HATE knitting, it's SO hard!" - and, like the voice of an angel, my friend Brittany said "I knit, I can teach you how" - so she showed me how to do the knit stitch and my life has never been the same :]


23. How old is your oldest UFO? I've only been knitting since last autumn. My oldest UFO is a hat I started in I think February, out of cashmere I bought on super discount at my LYS, it's at the point where I need to start decreasing, but I can't find my DPN's, so it was set to the side. I'll finish it...eventually... ;]


24. What is your favorite animated character or a favorite animal/bird? Favorite animal, probably a rabbit, tiger, or panda :] Bird, Robins.


25. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas! I love the holiday season :]


26. Is there anything that you collect? Besides yarn? LOL. No, not really :x Harry potter memorabilia.


27. What knitting magazine subscriptions do you have? None, I haven't developed any loyalties to knitting magazines yet, I buy whatever magazine grabs me, which alternates issue to issue.


28. Any books out there you are dying to get your hands on? Sweater Design in Plain English, by Maggie Righetti


In other news, I finished the back & am almost finished with the front of my Sugarplum Faerie Tank [so named after the color of the yarn i'm working wtih ^_^].
