Secret Pal 10
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I love to knit with merino, silk, and alpaca. I not like acrylic because it makes my hand itch - even the 80/20 wool/nylon blends bother me sometimes. And I do not care for mohair.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I store my straight needles in a vase, and my circulars/dpn's in a binder.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I have been knitting for longer than I care to admit - my mom taught me. Advanced.

Yes, link on the right sidebar of my blog.
5. What's your favorite scent?
Citrus and almond.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
Nope, but my husband would like you to know he loves dark chocolate, and my kids would take anything.
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
No and no. Should I learn how to spin?
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)
Yes, it does. I mostly listen to Italian music.
9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
