\nWhat are your favorite items to make? – smaller projects, quirky projects, particularly hats.
\nWhat are you making right now? – Aside from a bajillion hats?<\/a> A short row rib scarf<\/a> in Silk Garden.<\/p>\n
\nYour favorite yarn(s) (brand or type)? – any natural fiber. I’m open!
\nWhat fibers do you absolutely *not* like? – I’m not keen on acrylics.
\nIs there a yarn you’ve been dying to try? –
\nAre you a fiber snob? – I hate to say it… but yes. However, I gratefully accept all gifts in the spirit in which they’re given!<\/p>\n
\nHardwood, Bamboo, Aluminum, Plastic? – Hardwood, bamboo, or addis!
\nFor knitters: Straight, DPN or Circular needles? – circs or DPNs
\nFavorite gadget? – I don’t really have a lot of gadgets. I’ve even lost my tape measure, so clearly I am gadget deficient.
\nAnything you’ve been wanting to try? – <\/p>\n
\nDo you pamper yourself? Or do you generally come last? – I come last. Even the scarf I am knitting now, while I chose colors I like and tell myself it’s for me, will probably wind up as a gift for someone else.
\nWhat does an ideal day off\/free hour consist of for you? – sipping mocha, perhaps reading some sci-fi, or knitting something frivolous. I may clean the house, I’m embarassed to say. If I’ve got a lot of free time, road trip somewhere – I love to travel!
\nAre you allergic to anything? – Not that I know of!
\nWhat is your family situation? (Partner, spouse, kids, etc.) – Husband, 6-year-old daughter.
\nAre you owned by any pets? – Ugh. Yes, two cats. The old guy in the icon wearing the hat, and an obese orange furball.<\/p>\n
\nAny colors you just can’t stand? – I’m not keen on orange and yellow. Which is ironic, because that’s what I work with 99 percent of the time.
\nWhat’s your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.) – Clean, crisp smells. Citrus, sea, wind, grass.
\nLeast favorite? (Maybe you’re not “allergic,” but it makes you want to die) – lavender. Very strong floral scents. Gardenia is an exception, for some reason.
\nHow do you feel about candy? – I’m in favor of it.
\nAny dietary restrictions? – Nope!<\/p>\n
\nWhat is your favorite holiday? – Christmas!<\/p>\n
\nWhat kind of music do you like? – Folk, big band, bebop, bluegrass, old-timey stuff.
\nAny special requests in case your Godmother wants to make a CD for you? – I’m really not fond of heavy metal or music that favors noise over melody.<\/p>\n
\nAny “fan” stuff? (e.g. Firefly, Wonder Woman, etc.) – Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Futurama, LOST, The Tick, Wonder Woman, Logan’s Run… I’m just a big ole geek.<\/p>\n
