Questionnaire for SP14

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? I LOVE Noro silk garden (sock, lite, ordinariy - all of it). I only knit in wool or blends with wool and in alpaca. I do a little crochet with cotton, but it's to hard on my hands to knit with. I cannot stand 100% acrylic!

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 schol about 30 years ago. Did a little knitting as a teenager, but the had a brake for about 20 years. I would say I'm an intermediate knitter.
