Getting to Know You Questionnaire

Getting to Know you Contest Questionnaire:
For KnittyOtter's contest. Go check it out!

1.) How long have you been knitting?

My mother-in-law taught me to knit during our yearly trip to Sea Ranch back in 2003 or 2004. There were lots of stops and starts and garter stitch scarves until I really got into it.

2.) How long have you been knitting socks?

I started my first pair of socks for a KAL in the Summer of 2006. They were knit on 2 circulars using the Cat Bordhi basic sock pattern.

3.) What do you do with a problem like Maria?

You don't. You just let her do her own thing.

4.) What is your all time favorite sock yarn?

So far, I have really loved my Sunshine Yarns Merino Sock yarn.

5.) Toe Up or Cuff Down?

I have only tried cuff down, so cuff down.

6.) What's your favorite color (this week or for all time)? Do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer? Any colors you just can't stand?

Yes, a very cute kitty named Joey.

With the hubby, of course, and lots of sock yarn. We would have warm feet.

  1. Hi, just thought I should try again since I'm pretty sure the mistake was mine. I looked at the Charades sock pattern on Ravelry and I think I'll have a go at it one of these days, so thanks!
