Really Long Knitting Questionnaire

... for a dishcloth swap.

1 When did you learn to knit? Who taught you?
February (2007). I taught myself using a learn-to-knit kit.
2 What was your very first completed object? Your most recent?
First completed - a scarf for my fiance (garter stitch, blue acrylic).
Most recent - a dishcloth (
Blissful Moss Rib ), brown variegated cotton).
3 What was the very first thing you sent to the frog pond? Your most recent?
First frogged - a garter stitch scarf made out of olive green microsuede (what was I thinking? I made coasters out of that yarn instead.)
Last frogged - a circular dishcloth (it wasn't working, I'm doing something wrong.)
4 What is currently on the needles for you?
1 an ecru cotton table runner for my mom for Mother's Day
2 a dishcloth (pastel variegated cotton, modified
Chinese Waves pattern with added stockinette sections)
3 a jute placemat for the cats' food and water dishes
5 What types of needles do you enjoy working with? What have you tried and hated?
Love: Bamboo
Hate: Aluminum (but I use them anyway because they're cheap.)
6 Have you knit dishcloths before?
Yes.
6 1 What was your favorite one?
Yarn Over Cable Cloth
6 2 Least favorite?
Wheatfields
7 Do you use homemade dishcloths or face cloths yourself, or give them as gifts, or both?
Both.
8 What are your favorite and least favorite scents? (For your body, such as soap/lotion/etc)
Favorite - anything subtle.
Least favorite - anything very floral, or with any strong scent.
9 What are your favorite colors?

Blues of all shades (the darker the better), most greens, dark red, light and dark gray, "oatmeal" color.
10 What colors (if any) are your bathroom and kitchen decorated in?
Tan/white/light blue, but not really on purpose.
11 What other hobbies and crafts do you enjoy?
Digital photography, reading, listening to music, alphabetizing things (no, really).
12 Chocolate: Dark? White? Milk? Ew?
Milk chocolate. White chocolate is acceptable, though.
13 Do you like salty treats? What kinds?
Eh, I'm iffy on salt.
14 If you could go anywhere in the world for one day and spend the day any way you wanted, where would you go and what would you do?
Wow, that's a hard one! I would have to choose to go to Stonehenge and spend the day taking pictures. (Yes, I realize it's just a bunch of rocks. I don't care.)
15 Do you have any allergies?
Cigarette smoke.
