Eat.Knit.Sleep

I am a bad, bad blogger. My digital camera is still out of commission, and we closed on the house (!), and I got a new job (!!) so I've been lacking here. I have been knitting, though . . . and stashing.

I'm working on the Magic Stripes socks, and a baby sweater for a good friends new son. I have some other things in the works that I will post about very soon. 

Here is my Secret Pal Questionnaire . . .

1. I wouldn't call my self a yarn snob, per se. I'm not a fan of acrylic, but it is fine blended in with other fibers  .. . I did just buy some Cotton Ease to make Sitcom Chic.

2. I do not spin, but would love to learn someday. I do not crochet.

3.  No allergies.

4. I've been knitting on and off since I was 8  . . . I've just started knitting actual garments.

5. I have an Amazon wish list, but a lot of stuff on it is old . . . I will try to clean it up.

6. I don't like overly flowerly, or overpowering scents. I like mild, and spicy sents, and clean smelling things.

7. I have a big sweet tooth, but I like things simple . . .dark chocolote, caramel, anything gummy. I don't like nuts.

8. I used to paint and make books but I haven't in a long time.

9. I like all kinds of music but not the average Top 40 stuff. I don't like country.  I am addicted to my ipod.

10. I like all colors, not really a fan of neon. I'm drawn to greens and purples a lot.

11. I live with someone and am moving into a brand new house (my first) with him and my Boston Terrier oscar.

12.  To work with my hands, wear jeans and flip flops every day and never see the inside of a cube again.

13. So far . .. I've really enjoyed working with Blue Sky alpaca, with Butterfly 10, with Artful Yarns serenade . . . I've only picked lovely yarns. I'd love to try some Rowan.

14. I had a lot of trouble with KidSilk Haze . . . I'm not sure I'm ready for mohair.

15. Everything and socks.  Koigu!

16. I really liked seeing the Chickami come together. And scoks.

17. A pair of socks and a baby sweater.

18. I like some of them on some people. I can't really imagine one on me.

19. I prefer circular needles . . . Addis and my Denises.

20. All of the above.

21. I am a sock knitter.

22. My mother taught me.

23. A couple of months.

24. My favorite animated character . .. anyone voiced by Hank Azaria on the Simpsons.

25. My favorite holiday . . .  I don't really have one.

26. I seem to collect yarn . . . I'd like to start a collection now that I have room to store one if anyone has an idea.

27. I don't have any subscriptions but I plan to subscribe to Interweave Knits, Vogue knitting, and Rowan. Maybe Rebecca.

28. Any good knitting books I don't already own!
