About Me
Some info...
YARNS
I love all kinds of yarn, but prefer natural fibres (as opposed to acrylic). I have a lot of sock yarn, but some different weights as well. Check out my stash!
NEEDLES
I prefer metal or plastic, but am looking into some bamboo/wood DPNs for sock projects for the plane. My needles are not very fancy, and I would love a pair of KnitPicks as everyone seems to rave about them. I have a needle gauge.
COLOURS
Purple!!! is my fave, though I don't tend to knit with it a lot. Rainbow and green are next, and I've knit a fair bit with green. Red and blue are also faves. Have never knit with yellow.
FOOD
I just found out I'm diabetic last February, which has been a fair bit of adjustment. But I don't just eat diabetic/sugar-free treats; I can have regular stuff, just in moderation. I don't drink coffee, but love tea. British candy & chocolate are the best (I lived in the UK for 3 years-give me Thornton's treacle toffee or humbugs, Minstrels and Cadbury buttons any day!), with Swiss chocolate being the ultimate.
PATTERNS
I just completed my first pair of socks (stalled at the toe on the last sock because I have to graft/kitchener stitch it!), and so have a lot of sock patterns queued. I have never attempted a sweater as I am afraid of how long it would take. I'm intrigued by lace, but I know I didn't choose it as one of my workshops. I'm a slow knitter, and so usually do smaller projects so it doesn't take as long, but am willing to take on pretty much anything!
