Secret Pal 4 questions
Here are the questions answered:
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer high-end/natural fibers)?
Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?
I am a bit of a yarn snob. I will avoid Red Heart. The only Lion Brand I avoid is FUN FUR, but you know that already.
2. Do you spin? Crochet?
I am learning to spin (I got a wheel for Christmas) and I know how to crochet
3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.)
Does FUN FUR count? No? Well then I guess the answer is no, I don’t have any allergies.
4. How long have you been knitting?
10 years or so.
5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? Of course.Only if you ask though.
6. What’s your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.)
Citrus and Vanilla, but not together
7. Do you have a sweet tooth?
That is affirmative.
8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do?
I want to learn to weave, I have a table loom. I like to read, play the guitar, knit. Embalming? (that is a joke)
9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD)
Yes, I can play MP3s. I like everything but Christian music.
10. What’s your favorite color? Or—do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer?
Purple is my most favorite color, blue, green, orange, red, pink, I hate yellow (makes me look ill)
11. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets?
I have 3 cats, 1 husband and 1 son
12. What are your life dreams? (really stretching it here, I know)
To work with fibers more than I do. A dream would be to have my own yarn shop. But I don’t think it will happen. Learning to spin and make my own yarn is definitely going to happen.

You may want to clarify that your no Fun Fur also refers to all of the incarnations that Lion Brand is spitting out: Festive Fur, Funfetti... and I am sure that there are more on the way :P
