First the SP2 biz........
In keeping with Heidi's request, I've added the quezzies for Secret Pal.
What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with?
I love worsted weights and heavier. Wool blends especially. My absolute faves would be the Colinette line. Anything except Isis. I just think their colors are the most saturated and fabbo.
What is/are your current knitting obsession/s?
Creating my own designs. I am constantly striving to come up with new ideas and desperately need a journal or book of some sort to keep track of it all.
What is/are your favorite item/s to knit?
I love to knit funky stuff..........wristbands, hats, scarves, sweaters, tanktops........I am going for a messy dropped stitch or lace stitch look on a lot of items now.
What are you knitting right now?
I am working on a number of scarves, a sweater, a self designed tank top and various other things in my head. ha! (don't those count?)
What do you think about ponchos? (this is really a curiousity question for us)
Not too mad about ponchos nor have I knit one yet.
Do you prefer straight or circular needles?
I generally prefer straights but use circs wherever necessary.
How did you learn to knit?
Self-taught from the internet and books.
How old is your oldest UFO?
A sweater that is 8 months along. Front and back are done and I'm on sleeve number one.
Slowly slowly. It's on fairly small needles for me so it's just gonna take a while.
THE BIG DEAL IN MY LIFE TODAY
I've just ordered a laptop. My first one. Bam and I researched it online for the past week. Here's my purchase! Egads. Hope it's good. The plan is that I will be able to continue working on websites, my blog, various other internet stuff blah blah blah wherever we/I go somewhere....like home to Minnesota. That way, I can keep making moola to pay for the darn thing!
So that's been the biggest decision in my life recently!
I totally hate hate hate spending money.
More than I hate leaving my house.
he he.
I'm like this little old hermit who lives on the hill and never leaves. Orders everything online and has her food delivered and knits on the couch while snickering at the delivery boy. he he he.
Not really.
But it makes a nice n evil picture doncha think!
Congrats on the new laptop! You'll love having the portability to take your stuff with you.

Thanks for reminding me how cool Liz Collins knits are. In my dreams, I design things like that.
congrats on the new rekkid.

I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog, I'm always excited to find other rocker chicks who are into pink and knitting! Congrats on the laptop, they're handy. Now that I have wireless internet, I can lay in bed and surf the web. It's the good life.
