On the weekend I ask 10 questions on my Facebook page. I am not sure if all of you are on the fan page so I decided to bring it here.  Leave your answers in the comments and I will respond below in bold 🙂

 

    • Is there a craft you would like to learn? If yes what is it?

    • Fill in the blank, I am a _______ knitter
    • Coffee or Tea?
    • Yarn bowl, do you own one?
    • Do you give yourself a time limit when you craft or just go until you are tired?
    • Do you remember the first pattern book you purchased?

 

  • Am I the only one that buys a pattern book then makes none of the patterns?
  • Housework then knit or knit and then whatever?
  • If you were tasked with purchasing yarn for me, besides it being orange, what other characteristics would you consider?
  • How long have you been following the blog?

  1. Denise/DLS77 on Ravelry

    1. Sticking with trying to be a knitter. Used to do beadwork….may incorporate it in the knitting if I ever get good.
    2. Even though it’s over 6 yrs, this year has been the first yr i have made progress, so I’ll say a “newish” knitter.
    3. Tea, but I like the smell of coffee.
    4. No, but one of those plastic canister things.
    5. Not really….im still trying to find consistent time to just knit in general.
    6. Nope, I ordered multiple ones at one time.
    7. Still haven’t made anything from any of them, but I am determined to make onevpattern from each book.
    8. More like everything else, then knit on most days…but some days knitting gets to take precedence.
    9. I think you’re into “thick and thin” yarns now, so a luxe thick and thin uarn
    10. A year or less. Very happy to have found it!

  2. 1) Wire-wrapped jewelry and double-knitting.
    2) I am a Test/Store Sample knitter.
    3) Iced green tea all the way!
    4) I do not own a yarn bowl, I use project bags.
    5) I just put in as much time as possible on a daily basis. It is unfortunate that my “day job” takes up so much of my time. ; )
    6) Heck no. I have been knitting 40+ years, but who is counting?!?
    7) I have gotten picky over the years and will not buy a pattern book unless I am going to make at least one of the patterns and, even then I cheap out and try to find it as a single on Ravelry. With that being said, I have a whole room filled with pattern books and my Ravelry Library that I haven’t knitted, waiting for some day.
    8) Knit, then whatever.
    9) yarn weight and fiber content
    10) I have been following your blog since I met you in Tampa last year. : )

  3. 1. Pottery
    2. Product
    3. Yes
    4. No yarn bowl. I like the idea, but in this house it probably wouldn’t last long.
    5. I’m usually up til 11:30pm knitting (later if I really want/need to finish something), as it tend to be the only real knitting time I get.
    6. My first were Patons Tweed and Rowan Donati.
    7. I’ve made one item from each of the above books andnine from another. So I would say, Yes. I tend to forget they’re there and seem to focus on whats in my Rav queue.
    8. If I can get away with it, knit and then whatever. But I do try to do a little something just incase I get an unexpected visitor.
    9. Fibre content and what items you like to knit.
    10. I’ve only just discovered it. Great idea to have these questions.

  4. 1, I’d like to make a quilt someday.
