SP11 Questionnaire
Here are is the questionnaire for SP11. Please be sure to post it in a spot on your blog where your pal can easily find it. Since your pal will use this to help create your packages you'll want to have it posted to your blog no later than August 15th.
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
So far, I haven't found a fiber I don't like. Dale of Norway's Svale is difficult to knit with, but it produces a beautiful product. I love Nashua Wooly Stripe, Frog Tree Marino, Muench Touch Me, Patons Classic Wool.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
A beautiful, hand-made case I found on ebay. Check out ehwa_apron on ebay. Truly outstanding work.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I learned how to knit, but not purl, when I was 8. After making a few doll blankets, I promptly gave up. In January 2006 I decided I wanted to knit again. I consider myself a beginner.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
Amazon and Froogle: moonspinner7@yahoo.com
5. What's your favorite scent?
Rose/roses, I really dislike patchouli or musk.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
Anything chocolate, really.
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
I will sew for necessity. But I'm not terribly crafty. No, I don't spin. I haven't tried dying my own wool; I'm not sure I want to.
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)
I enjoy classic rock, older country, folk music, celtic music, alternative rock. Yes, both my computer and my stereo will play MP3's.
9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
I love blues, greens, earth tones. I hate red, purple, pinks.
10. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets?
Single parent; no pets.

A rib knit scarf, to match the hat.
14. Do you like to receive handmade gifts?
Who doesn’t?!?!
15. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Bamboo, aluminum, plastic?
I prefer circs, but straights work, too, or even dpn’s. Depends on the project. I like metal or wood, and hate plastic.

Not yet.
17. How old is your oldest UFO?
Nearly a year.

Bags, boxes, and baskets. Anything that you can put something inside - stuff that holds your stuff.
