1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
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 just bought Vanna White's new afghan book that is made by Lion Brand, so any of her Vanna's Choice yarn would be awesome because I really like it and only have two skeins so far.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I have a John Deere glass that stores my knitting needles and a hook roll my mom made me for my crochet hooks. There are hooks every where because I can't get enough of them. My favorites are Brittany and Addi (the metal ones not the all plastic ones)
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.

Lime, cherries, green apple. I don't like spices or anything that smells like old lady. If you want to send me a candle, I prefer soy wax candles because they burn cleaner and bother my allergies less then the normal candles.

SKITTLES! and peanut butter M & Ms
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
I don't know how to spin at all, but I think it would be cool to try some day. I do a lot of embroidery and cross stitch, and I love to make bottle cap magnets.
8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)
The Killers, Justin Timberlake, Kenny Chesney, Incubus, The Bangles, marching band music, really I am a music lover. I am going to see the Dave Matthews Band for my birthday this year. I love 80s rock, KISS, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, etc.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.
9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
I love blues, purples, hot pink, aqua, black, rainbow colors, i look nasty in yellows and oranges. yeah, I am very pale, my skin doesn't see the sun ever.

11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos?
I have a big head so I like hats, but they can't be tight. I don't do ponchos, but I love scarves and mittens. I would really like a pair of black fingerless gloves...that would be really cool.
