Knitted Purse Swap II
Questionnaire

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
Hehe. Ask a yarnoholic what she/he likes. Anything. My big dream is to get my hands on some Kidsilk Haze yarn, which is absolutely unavailable here in Hungary. Or some cashmire. Or bamboo. Or silk. Whatever. I'm changing from novelty yarns to special, fine yarns. This is because I learn a bit more knitting every day.

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I just put them in my knitting basket, and they make me crazy, when they bend because of bad handling. I know, it is my fault.

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 when I was younger, from my grandma. But since then, I did not knit a lot. I was more into crochet, which is I still do, and not so long ago I re-discovered knitting, and exploring the techniques. I love challenges. The answer is beginner, turning to be an intermediate.

4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
I'm preparing a few wish lists, I will post them here in a few days...

5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.)
Flowers

6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
Absolutely. Anything that includes (or covered in) chocolate.

7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
I'm a bead-crocheter, and I sell my stuff as well. I also have adventures in the world of crochet.


8. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
Favourite: Earth tones, greens and blues.
There is no colour I hate, but I'm not very fond of neons and pinks.


9. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets?
I have a beautiful, lovely 4 year old daughter and a wonderful and patient hubby. Any knitters dream. 'I will do the dishes after I finish this row, darling' - 'Never mind sweety, I will do it'. Just let him have his daily internet dose...
We have two japanese dancing mouse, and I'm planning to get a cave, you know, that punk-type.

10. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit?
Purses, of course. I'd love to knit something more complicated one day, say, a kardi...

11. What are you knitting right now?
Purse, sweater, and a few things which I do not know what will turn out to be at the moment.

12. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Bamboo, aluminum, plastic?
I prefer straights, any material. But the truth is: I never tried Addi Turbo (I wish I had, and I hope I can get some sometime) and never tried bamboo (same as above)
Plastic is something I try to avoid.

13. Is there anything that you collect?
Beads and yarn, and related gadgets
