Secret Pal 6

Hello all secret pal friends! Well here it is:


1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you? I am not a snob and it is not all the same. I do use my fair share of RH and LB.

2. Do you spin? Crochet? I don't spin but I do het crochet

3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.) no allergies but don't like the smell of smoke

4. How long have you been knitting? I am a bit new, only have been knitting for about a year.

5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? right here.

6. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.) I love lilac!!! I also like fruity flavors, berries, clean smells (think clean clothes). No cucumber melon!

7. Do you have a sweet tooth? I answer this as I pop tootsie rolls and laffy taffys in my mouth.

8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? I do quite a lot of hand bookbinding and calligraphy. I make wedding guestbooks and journals. I have done my fair share of soap and candle making.

9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) I like almost anything. Depends on my mood. Yes to MP3s.

10. What's your favorite color? Or--do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer? Any colors you just can't stand? I like earth tones, browns and greens especially. I am also a pink kind of gal.

11. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? I have been living with my boyfriend since June. We have no pets though I have been pestering him for a cat.

12. What are your life dreams? (really stretching it here, I know) I would love to work from home doing bookbinding. I also would like to work on my cooking and become a traveler like my grandparents.

13. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? It depends what I am working on. I absolutely love the yarns at Hello yarn

14. What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? That icky eyelash stuff.

18. What do you think about ponchos? we have a love/hate relationship. I made one last winter b/c I was told it was easy. They only look good on certain people which is why I only wear mine around the house (though I think it is currently in my car trunk)
