This is for the new Knitter Scavenger Hunt. It can be found at: http://knittersscavengerhunt.blogspot.com/.
Check it out if you so fancy!

1) Do you knit, crochet or both? How long have you been doing it? I can crochet, but I would rather knit. I have been knitting for five years.

2) What is on your needles/hook right now? Just about one of everything. Working on SpringShawlSurprise, SOtS, prepping for SOtSii, knitting on MysticWatersKAL, socks, socks, and more socks, shawl for exchange, random dishcloths...

3) What is the most frequently used tool in your knitting bag? Measuring tape (I can't keep them in there, though, due to my son's love of measuring things! LOL)

4) What are your 3 favorite yarns (fiber type or brand)? What are your 3 least favorite? I love alpaca, cottons, and superwash wools. I do not like fun fur or scratchy acrylics.

6) If you had a 5 minute shopping spree in your LYS, how would you plan your attack? Grab a basket and start throwing all the yarn I can grab in, starting with the Ultra Alpaca by the door and moving to the sock and handspun yarns! Oh, that would be so much fun!

7) What is your favorite FO and why? (post a pic if you have it!) Socks. I love to wear the socks I have knit!

The New Year, Ambition, and Secret of the Stole 2

I know I have not posted much since creating this blog, partly because I doubt many even read it, but for the New Year my only two resolutions will be to blog/share more and to knit ALONG with everyone else in my KALs! I tend to be a little slow, but I'll work on it.

I am excited to start the Secret of the Stole 2 on Jan 18. (I am hoping to finish SOtS 1 by then!) I would like to post the link here, in case anyone is reading this....:
