I have been knitting for about 15 months. I consider myself on the intermediate side of things.
2. How long have you been knitting socks?
I started this summer, in June. So about 6 months.
3. What are your favorite fibers to work with?
Natural fibers. I love squishy, sport weight sock yarns, nice merino wools, cotton, silk, bamboo....
4. What is your favorite color?
It's a toss up between orange and navy. I really love color in general. The only color I really don't care for is purple.
5. What are your current WIPs (works in progress)?
2 chevron scarves, socks, a sweater and a blanket for my son
6. Name your favorite yarns, (brand, fibers, colors, etc.).
I love Zen String, Miss Babs and Sereknitty sport weight sock yarns. They all have such amazing colors and are so soft and sproingy! And what in the world is softer than Malabrigo worsted? I also love the Araucania yarns and Queensland yarns-- epecially the Queensland Kathmandhu. Again, it's the colors! I am a freak for all things Woolgirl. She has the most amazing yarns.
7. What are some yarns/fibers that you stay away from.
Anything acrylic. It gives me the heebie jeebies.
8. What is your family situation? (Married, kids, pets?)
Yes to all. Married for 15 years in early November. Two kids (9 and 4) and 3 pets (1 old cat, 1 shih tzu dog and a nutso kitten)
