Slytherin Quiz #001
1. Do you knit and/or crochet?
Yes, both!

2. How long have you been at your craft?
Coming up on a year for knitting and about two months for crochet.

3. Do you spin?
No, but I desperately want to try! I actually just ordered a top whorl drop spindle spinning kit, so we'll see how it goes!

4. What type of spinning do you do (drop spindle or wheel)?
Just ordered a drop spindle (top whorl)

5. Are there any other crafts that you participate in?
Dyeing, Beading, scrapbooking (on and off), sewing, graphic design

6. What are your favorite yarns/fibers?
I am practically obsessed with JoSharp Tweeds, they've stolen my heart! The colors are awesome and they look great knit up.

7. What are your LEAST favorite yarns/fibers?
I don't think I have any least favorites.

8. Are there any types/brands of yarn that you are dying to work with but haven’t gotten a chance?
Plenty, but they're all far too expensive for me to even think about right now.

9. What are your favorite types of projects to knit/crochet?
For crochet, it's amigurumi all the way - I'm addicted to those things! As for knitting, I dabble in a lot. I spend more time pattern-hording than I do actually working on my six billion projects. I see a great pattern and I go "OMG I WANT TO MAKE THAT!!" and I go from there.

10. What are you currently working on?
The question is what am I not working on! A Hufflepuff scarf, two bookscarves (Hufflepuff and Slytherin, then a Slytherpuff one), Owls (on-going), a snake, an octopus, a blanket, legwarmers, a sweater for my dog, and a camisole top for myself.

11. Anything you plan to start this autumn?
Only a million and one things :3

12. What is your favorite Finished Object? (Please, post a picture if you would like.)
Right now it's that adorable little red owl, Thor, which can be found on my Rav page.

13. Are their any knitting/crochet techniques that you would like to learn?
Throw them at me, I'm sure there's still plenty to learn!
