Secret Pal 11 Questionnaire
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I like most natural fibres, love anything by Noro as the colour changes keep me interested. I also love anything that feels silky smooth and soft like alpaca. Don't like Chenille as I had a bad experience with it many moons ago where the fluffy bits had fallen off and all I was left with was a bald thread.
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
a very full and very large knitting needle fabric holder.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I've been knitting for over 20 years and my aunt taught me when I was a little girl. I started off by knitting clothes for my Sindy doll. I would consider myself to be an internediate knitter.

Amazon wish list

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 a whole variety of music, Favourites at the moment are Killers, Muse and Kaiser Chiefs. I do have an iPod for which I regularly download music.
