1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I love to knit with anything soft and natural! I’m not picky on fiber beyond that. I DO NOT like acrylic, fun fur, eyelash, or anything like that.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
Currently? They are all over the place, unfortunately! I do have a holder for my circulars, but nothing for my straight needles.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I have been knitting for several years, but very intermittently. My grandmother and mother taught me how to knit, which is a very cool thing! I would consider my self on the high side of intermediate.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
I do have an amazon wish list, but it is pretty bare right now. I am not sure how you would search for it, but my email that is registered with it is brookeshifletATyahooDOTcom
5. What's your favorite scent?
I love rose or anything subtly flowery. I do not really like strong fruity smells. I also love coconut, vanilla, verbena, etc.
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy?
I do have a sweet tooth! I LOVE the sour watermelon candy that is made by the same people that make sour patch kids, but I also love dark chocolate. I do not like cherry flavored anything.
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin?
Honestly, I don’t really have time to knit as much as I would like to, so I don’t do much else right now!
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 kinds of music, just no heavy metal or twangy country.
9. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand?
I do not really like orange at all. I like all other colors, I just do not like red with pink.
10. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets?
I have a horse and I also have 2 cats.
11. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos?
I do not wear ponchos – I love scarves, hats, and mittens though! (Especially fingerless mittens/gloves)
12. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit?
Fingerless gloves, socks, hats, purses
13. What are you knitting right now?
Haha – what am I not knitting? I am knitting socks, a bag, fingerless gloves, a purse, etc, etc, etc
14. Do you like to receive handmade gifts?
Sure!
15. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Bamboo, aluminum, plastic?
Depends on the project. I like aluminum with thick wool, but I like bamboo with thinner yarns. I do not like plastic. I have a set of circulars from 2-15, so I would not need anything in that size.
16. Do you own a yarn winder and/or swift?
I have an antique swift, but no yarn winder. I’ve been scared to use my swift since it is so old.
17. How old is your oldest UFO?
Let’s see…when did I first start knitting…whenever day # 1 of my knitting 'career' was - that's how old it is!
18. What is your favorite holiday?
Christmas!
19. Is there anything that you collect?
Not really – well, except for UFO’s!
20. Any books, yarns, needles or patterns out there you are dying to get your hands on? What knitting magazine subscriptions do you have?
I do not have any pattern books, believe it or not! I do have ‘knitting on the go’ (a box of pattern cards) but other than that, I do not have any. I have a few on my Amazon wish list.
21. Are there any new techniques you'd like to learn?
I don’t know what it would be at this point. I would like to do some fair isle work and just more color work in general.
22. Are you a sock knitter? What are your foot measurements?
I am a sock knitter! I wear size 7.5 shoes, so whatever that would make my foot measurement be.
23. When is your birthday?
September 7, 1980
