PK SP questionaire

Hello there! I am all excited to get started on the fall secret pal along.. so click below if you want to learn more about me :)1. What is/are your favorite yarn(s) to knit with? Do you like solid or variegated colorways? What fibers do you absolutely NOT like? Are you allergic to any fibers?As boring as it sounds, my comfort yarn is worsted weight natural wool yarn in a solid color. I say lace weight is a very close second. I am NOT a fan of anything acrylic or man made.. I think that if you mix cotton with something it is much better than it being alone. 100% cotton ends up giving me tennis elbow EVERY time I work with it.. which I say means my elbow is allergic to acrylic and cotton. :) So wools only.. pretty please. (and yes.. that includes alpaca, llama, and other fuzzy animals)2. What do you use to store your hooks/needles in?I have a drawstring boogie bag for my circs and a needle roll for my straights.3. How long have you been knitting? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate, or advanced?I have been knitting for 4 yrs. I would say I am an intermediate knitter.4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?I have a amazon wishlist. You can get to it from my typepad blog: http://purlewe.typepad.com/5. Whats your favorite scent (for candles, bath products, etc.)?I am a person who likes things to be scented, but not from bath and body shop.. I go more for soaps from duross and langel (12th and locust) NO candles. I cannot seem to find one that doesn't give me a headache. Flavors? anything from a lovely fall scent (pumkins, spices) to the ocean breeze. LUSH is another favorite.. their lavendar bar is amazing. I would stay away from the rose scents though.. makes me think of old grannys and just never smells as good as a real rose.6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Whats your favorite candy or snack?I am a girl who loves all things chocolate. But then I also tend towards the home baked goodies.. brownies, pumkin pie.. etc. Basically I like food. I didn't get to this size overnight!! I think a good homemade meal is one of the best things to do at the end of the day.7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like? Do you spin or do other fiberwork?I cross stitch, sew (a litte), cook (alot), bake, can, garden a wee bit, do photography, and I also spin yarn.8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s (in case your buddy wants to make you a CD)?I like a little bit of everything. Just no hard core rap and country. I love the indigo girls, Ani, alternative, punk, folk writers, 80s, They might be Giants, and any new artists that are cool and have a sense of humor (I am talking the new pornographers NOT the top 40) are probably not on my current playlist as I am a curmudgeon just doesn't go to the record store when I could go to the yarn store.. so if you want to burn me a cd with music you love I would be all ears.9. Whats your favorite color? What color can you not stand?PURPLE is my favorite color. I cannot stand PINK. UGH pink yuck! I love all the colors in reds and greens and blues.. even black and grey are my favorite colors.. but pink, orange, and probably yellow are at the bottom of the list.10. Do you have any pets or children?I have a cat.11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens, ponchos, wrist/arm warmers, gauntlets, and/or legwarmers?I do not wear ponchos.12.

Do you have any blogs (personal or knitblogs) other than your LiveJournal where you regularly post?http://purlewe.typepad.com/ is my knitblog.. altho I usually write stuff there that is for the public (and not always knitting) my LJ is for ranting and is almost always locked anymore. I will post things so that my PKSP can see me here for the duration of this event.25. Do you have any blogs (knitblogs or otherwise) or websites that you visit often (besides LiveJournal)? This piece of info is to help your Secret Pal learn more about the things that interest you.I have a blogline list I read (mostly knitting) basically any of the people on my sidebar at typepad.. Amy Boogie, Comfy bev, Ent knits etc. I read something newsworthy once a day (bbc if I have time, or cnn if I don't) and post regularly on Knitter's Review. I try to keep my surfing to a minimum. Usually news and knitting with the occassional recipe will make me a happy purlewe.Basically give me wool or give me.. well cookbooks. :) I love anything asian inspired. I love Project Runway.. I think that reading a good book is something we do every day. And I love me a good museum :)So there you have it. Me in a nutshell.
