1. are you a yarn snob who prefers high end/natural fibers? do you avoid red heart and lion brand? or is it all the same to you?
I love the nicer yarns but I am not a snob. I am very frugally minded since I knit for a family of 5. Therefore, sometimes my life calls for lion brand but usually not any red heart.
2. do you spin? crochet?
Yes to both
3. do you have any allergies?
All I have to say is “thank God for flonase & claritin”!
4. how long have you been knitting?
I learned when I was 12 but didn’t really do much more than scarves until age 20.
5. do you have an amazon or other online wish list?
Yes, yes I do! Thanks for asking!

Anything other than poopy diapers. Okay fine, I am a mom! I do really like citrus cents though!
7. do you have a sweet tooth?
Oh good Lord, yes!
8. what other crafts or do-it-yourself things do you like to do?
There was one point in my life, I am ashamed to say, that scrapbooking consumed me & my yarn was hid away. <sigh> How embarrassed am I?
9. what kind of music do you like? can you play mp3s?
I like all music pretty much, well, okay, not true. I don’t like hip hop & rap. But then again I do like black eyed peas & some other similar music. So don’t ask me that question!
10. what’s your favorite color? or do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer?
Two colors, greens & reds. Interesting that my bday is a week before christmas.
