Fetching (from Knitty), because at the speed I knit (and with the number of distractions I seem to have) they'll be ready right about when the weather starts getting cooler.<BR/><BR/>2. I'm into really basic socks at the moment. I've been liking the sock "recipe" from Knitting Rules.<BR/><BR/>3. There are so many nice ones that I'm not sure if I can choose a favourite, but one I like right now is Schaefer Anne.<BR/><BR/>4. Once again, this is hard to choose.

Frustrating!<BR/>2) I'm a big fan of plain vanilla socks (love mindless knitting), but I just started a pair of Hederas from Knitty, and I'm absolutely loving them. I'm already planning second and third pairs!<BR/>3) My favorite yarns are Malabrigo and Debbie Bliss Cashmerino (any weight). My favorite sock yarn is definitely Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock.<BR/>4) I like the blog FemiKnitMafia. http://www.femiknitmafia.com/<BR/>5) My favorite non-knitting thing has to be Tim Hortons' iced cappucinos.

I have picked up the yarn but am finishing a few other projects first! Plus the 100 degree weather is making the other projects better vs a sweater!<BR/> 2) favorite sock pattern: so far, the standard socks on 2 circular needle pattern. I took a sock class last sept. and always have at least one pair going. Am just branching out on other sock patterns. I love socks!!<BR/> 3) favorite yarn and/or sock yarn,: No one favorite as i love variety, colors textures!<BR/>4) one of your favorite knit bloggers : I enjoy Pixie Knits and kaitys If you want to destroy my sweater..also punk knits!<BR/>5) one of your favorite non-knitting things: have to name 2 as i can't eliminate either! my camera and fresh smelling lotions!

I may need a break from that pattern, but I think I'll knit many more. <BR/><BR/>3) This is a tough one. I think I have an unhealthy obsession with Opal Hundertwasser in all its shades.<BR/><BR/>4) I've been obsessed with lace knitting for a while, and Fleegle's Blog is an incredible resource (also, she's an extremely gifted lace knitter). She puts up handy things like translations of Japanese knitting pattern symbols and links to a blog where someone has compiled a list of triangular shawl patterns by yardage! <BR/><BR/>5) Bats. But we already knew that. Also high on the list: chocolate, loud and fast heavy metal, and books.
