I like SWTC Karoke, Noro Silk Garden, Cascade 220, Brown Sheep. I don't really have a fiber that I don't like but I did receive 19 skeins of Caron Simply Soft and Red Heart, so I really don't need any more than that. I also love Rowan Summer Tweed

I am a hooker. I'm learning how to hand knit--I learned to machine knit and spool knit first. I have little pencil cases, cups and a hook roll that I attempt to store it all in.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I am a rebel crocheter since 2003. I have been knitting on and off but I am really awful at hand knitting but I love to loom or machine knit. So I would say very much beginner on the knitting front and intermediate on the crochet side.

Yes, I do and I have recently updated it.

The Killers, Justin Timberlake, Kenny Chesney, Incubus, The Bangles, marching band music, really I am a music lover. I am in the process of upgrading from a 3rd generation ipod to a video ipod. Ooh, I like Sleater-Kinney too...Alternative rock is probably the genre I listen to the most. I am an Itunes fanatic, i download music all the time. I just bought a mac powerbook this year (12''), so I am definitely tech savvy.

11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos?
