1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? I am using primarily natural fibers...I am not opposed to a little mix with synthetic, sometimes for childrens things you need it, or socks with some nylon
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in? I have a tall needle basket from Peterborough Baskets but it doesn't hold them all, the others are in ziplocs with WIPs
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced? I hate to admit I have been knitting for almost 40 years, almost since kiddygarden days..I stopped during teen years and started again right after. I had an aunt who essentially forced me learn,LOL and a DGM who was an inspiration...I would definitely say I am advanced
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? Yes, unfortunately, I change it weekly thouhg, LOL
5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.) Vanilla, gingerbread, lemon...gosh I guess one could say cookie scents, LOL
6. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy? Hmmm...sometimes a girl just has to have chocolate but generally a little Hershey kiss will do
7. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Do you spin? I do not spin, I am afraid to get started in something else, but everything else,after knitting my favorite would be sewing, quilting, crocheting,scrapbooking,carpentry in the top five
8. What's your favorite color(s)? Any colors you just can't stand? I am not a pink person..I love willowy greens, purples and sometimes I just go orange, my skis, boots and jacket are all orange..easier to find me if I go down

It does look like you collect KAL's! ;)
I'm afraid to spin too. For one thing, I'd probably suck at it and I hate that, and for another, I'd probably fall in love with it anyway and spend even more money.
Another Foxy Chickie!
I am afraid of falling in love with it and then would want sheep and then would need a farm and then.....
