Knitted purse swap II - questionnaire

Questionnaire

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?

I love alpaca and wool. I can’t knit in cotton.

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?

3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?

I learn to knit in school but could only knit, not purl or anything else :-) Then a friend taught me when I was about 18 and then I didn’t knit (or purl) for about 20 years! But a couple of years ago I started again and now I can’t stop ;-)
I would say that I’m an intermediate beginner…

No

5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.)

I can’t stand scented candles! I like the smell of vanilla and apples.

Oh yeah – chocolate! And liquorish.

I don’t spin, but crochet, sew and use to weave. I do a little paperwork and make a necklace now and then.

8. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?

Dark red, purple and black. I don’t like bright yellow.

Clothes for my son, shawls, bags.
