You Wanna See it??

1/31/2005

I have a good share of the cuff/ankle of the Spearfish Socks completed…

Spearfish Socks January 31, 2005 morning.
Model: Water Glass ;-)

What do you think? Is it a pattern you’d like to make sometime? More importantly do you think my Sock Pal is going to like it? Does the central lace panel look like a waterfall to you??? Or do I need to rethink the name??

SP4 Questionaire

Hello SP4! I got my match over the weekend so I figured it was about time to share the questionaire once again.

I’m not sure my answers will have changed too much since last round, but I think they did change slightly, so I’ll fill out the questionaire again…

1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer high- a nd/natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?

I’m not a yarn snob in that I only like high-end yarns, though I prefer 100% natural fibers which limits Red Heart and Lion Brand. I do occassionally go for LB novelty yarns as an element to a design, but not too often.

2. Do you spin? Crochet?

I want a spinning wheel. It’s on my ultimate wishlist. I have a drop spindle, but with some of my health issues I find it hard on me to actually spin with it long enough to get the rhythm down. I only crochet when required to edge a pattern. I tried to make snowflakes a couple years ago to use in place of bows on the holiday gifts that year, but I fail miserably at following the patterns. I haven’t tried it since…

3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.)

I’m sensitive to perfumes and highly allergic to smoke and cats.

4. How long have you been knitting?

I’m about at the 1.5 year mark of solidly knitting. Though I had learned as a child and made some doll blankets and the bias garter square kitchen rags, but gave it up relatively quickly due to a lack of yarn selection in my hometown.

5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?

I do indeed have an Amazon wishlist. I’m all about used items too.

6. What’s your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.)

Citrus! Especially Lime or Grapefruit, preferrably pure without the addition of herb or other non-citrusy scents.

7. Do you have a sweet tooth?

Yes :-( I have a healhty (or not so healthy) sweet tooth. I’m trying to limit fat intake though so I’m having to stick with non or low fat treats like licrorice (Twizzlers) or Good ‘n Plenty. And, if I do chocolate I go for the dark variety as I’m also trying to limit dairy intake as much as possible too.

8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do?

I do mixed media work and bookbinding.

9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)

I like what is often called adult alternative - Jack Johnson, Train, Sister Hazel and many others. I also enjoy classic jazz (Ella, Benny Goodman, Dizzy, Duke, etc.) and bluegrass (Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Nickel Creek etc.). I have relatively wide ranging tastes, though new wave, funk, rap and most punk don’t really do anything for me. And, yes, my computer can play MP3s and I have a small MP3 player I use from time to time as well.

10. What’s your favorite color? Or-do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer?

Purples! And, anything that is rich and deep - jewel tones and autumnal colors are high on my list. I’m also very fond of sage and moss greens.
