What kind of knitting needles are you?




You are interchangeable.Fun, free, and into everything, you've got every eventuality covered and every opportunity just has to be taken. Every fiber is wonderful, and every day is a new beginning. You are good at so many things, it's amazing, but you can easily lose your place and forget to show up. They have row counters for people like you!

Comments

Don't know how to respond to comments left by anyone on my post so I'll just do it here (I will get this blog thing down eventually:))

First, Thanks Tia for leaving me some comments--I'm excited to get to know you this month and although I'm not a fan of Halloween, I do love how all of the candy are wrapped individually and then put in monster bags. I bought four bags last year, had 2 trick-or-treaters and had a wonderful November:)

Second, to 'Wings', no I'm not in the irish hiking scarf KAL, I should join it but I'm actually close to being finished. I need to start checking these things before starting a project--great way to meet new people!!

Thanks for all the comments--I'm shocked that anyone is even reading my blog!!

Happy Labor Day

HSKS3 Questionnaire

1. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into?
Hufflepuff!!
2. List your favorite double-point needle brands, including size and length. Or would you prefer circulars?
Right now I only own some aluminum ones, so I am completely open to anything new although I'd love to try something unique. I've never knit socks on circulars but I've been wanting to learn to avoid that "second sock" syndrome :)
3. Would you like to try a new brand needle? If so, which brand? Size? Length? I would love to try anything new and will be thrilled with whatever my partner chooses. I do prefer shorter needles (because my feet are a bit small, size 5)
4. If you are a RAVENCLAW, do you prefer the colors in the film or the book? Do you have a strong preference?
I'm a Hufflepuff :)
5. Do you have any allergies?
No allergies to food or fiber--bring on the chocolate and wool!!
6. If you are swapping scarves - what is your desired length for the pattern? This will help your partner find the pattern that is just right for you and buy yarn accordingly.
Socks for me thanks ;)

Swap Partners

Yippee!! Got an email from Tiapixy (isn't that a cute name) and she told my who my swap partners are (Tia will be sending to me and I'll be sending to Laurie). I'm so excited and have had to make myself work instead of surfing the web trying to find Ravenclaw related items. I'm so excited for the swap, and the fact that someone posted a tutorial on how to make stitch markers (which by the way I don't own a single stitch marker--shameful) so I'm super pumped and feeling that small creative streak in me coming out. :)

Tonight I hope to have a nice list of questions for Laurie to get to know her so I guess I'd better work on that...more later.

And finally, that sweater set is on it's way to Jen at the Football-Along. It's been sitting here patiently on my table waiting for me to go to the post office (which for some reason I really hate doing). Off it goes to NY--goodbye first sweater I ever knit, have a happy life.

Let the swapping begin!

I'm awaiting an email from my prefect to find out who my swap partners will be for HSKS3--so pumped! I swear I've never checked my email so much before in my life. I know it's because it's my first swap so this means that I will actually be interacting with other knitters as opposed to just knitting along virtually. I've already been surfing the web to see what goodies are out there since my city is too far away from a BIG city (I'm in Vero Beach, FL). Although I may just have to take a trip up to Orlando or down to West Palm...

Tonight I work on the never-ending Irish Hiking Scarf trying to finish it before I hole myself up for the weekend and watch season 1 of Heroes!

Halfway Point...

that is where I am on the Irish Hiking Scarf. Exactly two weeks working on it, which is a lot but since it is my first cable project I'm feeling pretty good about myself. :)

Three more days until the HSKS3 sign-ups end and then I'll be partnered with someone--I'm oh so excited!
