Secret Pal 8 Questionnaire
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I'm primarily a wool/natural fiber person. I'm not fond of most acrylics. And I have to be careful with most cotton as it can hurt my hands. I adore sock yarns and lace weights

An antique silverware chest from my maternal grandmother (And in over 50 UFOs)

Avidly since 1991, I consider myself Advanced.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
Nope.
5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.)
Lilac and Lily of the Valley.

Sure do. Love good quality, dark chocolate covered orange peel, but I’ll try anything except white chocolate.
