Answers to the questionnaire for Knitted Purse swap:

 

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?

Of course I love me some Cashmere, I really enjoy a good Alpaca/wool blend, wool, I recently tried soysilk and that was fun. I love linen, and I’m eager to try some bamboo fiber.

 

The only fiber I can say that I avoid knitting is 100% cotton or any acrylic or frou-frou novelty yarns. (OK, you guessed it. I'm a yarn snob)

 

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?

The straights, which no longer get much use from me are in a cloth needle case, I have also made a pouch for my circs and my dpn's, but somehow, they always seem to find themselves tangled up in my knitting basket.
