Needle Exchange! Yipee!

This is the questionaire from Catherine's Needle Exchange. I've never participated in one before, and I'm so excited about this one! (Catherine is so cool; she does really neat stuff all the time for far-away friends, and I'm quite inspired!)

1. What do you like to knit or crochet? (socks, sweaters, etc.)
I'm still playing around a bit; I'm working on a top-down sweater now, but I've finished a pair of socks and really enjoyed working on them. I also like to do scarves with different techniques.

2. What fibers do you like?
I love natural fibers (I'm a bit of a granola), but I love some of the soft novelties, too!

3. What type of needles do you use most often?
My Addi-Turbos are the love of my life lately with the sweater, but I switch a LOT. I like my bamboo just fine, my Lantern Moon #10 Rosewoods are delightful, and I've been known to play with the plastics, as well!

4. Do you like to knit in the round?
Yes!

5. Do you use a magic loop method or any other we should know about? Are you interested in learning a new method?
I've recently been intrigued by the magic loop method, and I'm always open to trying new things!

7. Do you have a favorite place that you shop online? (knitpicks.com, knitpixie.com, jimmybeanswool.com....)?
Jimmy Beans Wool is my fave, although One Fine Yarn has always done me right, and I keep wandering the "aisles" at Yarn Market and Knit Picks.


8. Do you want to be surprised? then erase all your answers above and write surprise me!!!
***I love being surprised as much as I love knitting, so please feel free to use my answers as a way to get to know me; I'm delighted with just about anything that feeds my passion!
