Knitting in pink

Here are my answers to the Secret Pal 10 Questionnaire. Some of the answers are different than for SP9 so I decided to republish it.

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? I love sock yarns of all types, but mostly the handpainted type. I love tweedy yarns too. I don’t like mohair, it would drive me nuts if I had to knit with it. I also don’t like novelty yarns for the most part.

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I have a matching rolling fabric case for my DPNS, circulars and my straight needles. I have the Options Needle set that I keep in its own case.

3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I learned a little over a year ago. I would consider myself intermediate now I think.

4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
Yup, in my side bar and kept up to date.

5. What's your favorite scent?
Vanilla, brown sugar

6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
Love dark and milk chocolate. Love Toblerone and Lindt and Godiva chocolates

7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
I like to quilt but rarely do it. I started spinning in May 07.

8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) I like Soft Rock, music like Il Divo, Andrea Boccelli and Josh Groban

9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
Love pinks and reds. Enjoy some blues and greens. Don’t like yellows and oranges on their own, but will stand them mixed in with colors I love.
