Secret Pal 7
Ok, and we're back from Germany! What a great trip it was! Man I love that family. We had an absolutely wonderful time visiting and just lounging around. It snowed before our arrival and it looked like a winter wonderland when we drove up to v's mom's house. I will have some pics up soon. Petra!! I love the photo and the necklace. I am going to wear it tonight! :0) Love you guys!
I heard from my new Secret Pal today!! Whooohooo. I can't wait to get to know her. She asked for my questionnaire and so here we have it!
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand?
Oh, yeah...I am afraid I am a natural fibers snob for the most part. I figure if I am taking the time to make something I want it to last and stay in good shape.
2. Do you spin? Crochet?
I do spin when I can find the time, but I don’t crochet....yet. I would like to, though.
3. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I have a big palstic storage bin that I use for the needles. Circular, straight and all. Very messy. :0)
4. How long have you been knitting? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I have been knitting for just under 20 years. One of my dear friends taught me and I still never knit without thinking of her. I think I am an advanced intermediate knitter.
5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
No, but I think I may try to get one going at Amazon in the future.
6. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.)
I like just about anything.
7. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
Sweet tooth? Sugar is one of my main food groups. Lemon Heads and Haribo bears are favs, but I like it all....oh yeah.
8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do?
I make bobbin lace, bead and qulit a little.
9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)
Again, I like it all. There isn’t much in the way of music that I won’t listen to with the exception of rap. Never really went there.
