Man I'm Really Sucking At This SP thing...

Sorry, I did not know before now to post this to my blog by the end of February.

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? I don't really have a preference one way or the other. I like all fiber, even acrylic.

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in? I have a box that I use right now for storing my circs (in their original packaging), and a vase for the few straights I have.

3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Originally I learned when I was about 4 or 5 from a very nice neighbor. But I didn't stick to it. Over the years I've come back to knitting off and on. Last year I found a LYS and was hooked by all the beautiful fiber.

8. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) I like most music types, except country and gansta rap. My favorite is R & B/Soul. I have an iPod which is usually attached to my hip at all times.
