Party Time!!

Bethany is having a Blogiversary party over at her blog Getting it Pegged, an dshe asked us all to join in on the fun by answering a few questions.

What was your age when you first discovered your love of yarn?  What (or who) was it that introduced you to all that fibery goodness?  Well it was in elementary school when I took a class that included knitting and candlewicking and needlepoint etc!
If you could sit down with anyone in the world to have a little knit along, who would it be? I think.. hmm already knit with Cat Bordhi.. so Teva Durham, or Meg Swanson (in lieu of of Elizabeth Zimmerman)
What is your favorite comfy place or position in which to work with yarn? That’s easy.. that lovely settee up in the cabin in Maine!
Like our heroin in the story below, do you ever dream about soft fuzzy goodness?  Or how to do a particular technique you’d never thought of while awake? Hmm that’s why I keep a notebook by the bed!!
What type of loomer/knitter/crocheter are you?  Do you like long involved projects, or quickies full of fast satisfaction? I kinda like quickies.. but a long project once in a while is good!
Have you ever guiltily postponed dinner due to your involvement with a project?  Who me? Never.. and never burned it either…
What is your ultimate goal in your yarn life?  Woosh
Do you have a favorite snack you like to munch while working with yarn? Not particularly.
What is your all time most favorite yarn tool/accessory that you absolutely could not live without? My row counter!
What is your favorite movie? Princess Bride
What is your favorite book as an adult…and what was yours as a child? I like the Alphabet Mysteries, and the Chronicles of Narnia
What are you working on right now with your yarn?  A Vest.
Is there a special project that you’ve been just dying for someone (or yourself) to design?  The ‘Wash’ Sweater. An aran sweater that looks like the one a character Wash wears on the Sci Fi Show Firefly!
Did someone invite you to join in on the party today? Bethany!!

A New Knitter?

Last night Azia and I arrived at District conference. I was sitting and knitting a bit while the kids were playing games.

A little girl was watching me and asked me “How to you do that?” And so I showed her. She asked “Can I try?” I said sure! So I let her try a . . . → Read More: A New Knitter?
