1. BYC name: vetcw3
2. Are you willing to ship outside of the US if needed? I would really prefer not to, but I can't say no.
3. Do you prefer your pattern to be for knit or crochet or something other? What is your skill level for this technique? Knit, advanced intermediate, I suppose. Don't be afraid to send me a challenging pattern, I love to learn.
4. Any stitches or techinques you are interested in learning or experimenting with? Not that I know of. I really prefer to knit with worsted or heavier yarn.
5. Your favorite colors? Your least favorite color? Do you prefer variegated yarn or solid color?
Blues, greens (muted), teals, browns, reds, naturals are my favorites, solids or gradual variegation. I don't like pastels, or pink, orange and yellow aren't particular favorites. Any of these are OK in SMALL amounts
I recently fell in love with tweeds but I haven't had an excuse to buy any yet.
6. Preferred yarn type(s)? (Ex: wool, cotton, bamboo, acrylic, mixed fibers) I like wool (I enjoy like felting) or wool blends, other natural fibers are fine. Acrylic blends are fine ("Homespun" drives me nuts). I have never tried 100% cotton so I don't know.
7. Do you spin? Nope
8. Any yarn or other allergies? nope
9. Any cats or other common allergens INSIDE your home? Cat, children (do they count?)
10. Give a brief summary of yourself. Likes/dislikes, etc.
I am a SAHM mom, 1 three year old, 1 six month old so that keeps me busy. In my spare time I knit, sew, quilt, read (sci fi is my favorite) and do woodwork. I also enjoy cooking and baking. I actually don't have any chickens and my husband is vegetarian and after a child hood incident with a rooster really doesn't like them. We do plan on raising ducks for eggs when we move out of town.
We have a cat and are considering getting a dog but we aren't sure yet. I just graduate with BS in biology, finally! I consider myself more of a tomboy and I am not really into girly things.
In the knitting arena, I have options needles that I really like, my favorite patterns are usually quick ones that don't use to much yarn but I am about to embark on a danish tie shawl.
