Try posting it on your blog!

1. Your earliest memory of sewing/crafting? – Knitting garter stitch slippers when I was 6 years old for my parents for Christmas.
2. What is your most beautiful make? – My George Hancock out of Tosh DK in worn denim.
3. What is your most challenging make? The third pair of socks I knit, which have since been frogged.
4. Your most unpractical make that you like but can’t really wear/use? A beaded hitchhiker scarf out of scratchy sock yarn on the recommended needles. No drape whatsoever. Whenever I put it on, I take it right back off. Beautiful and pointless. If only I’d gone up one needle size I’d probably wear it more.
5. What is your most worn/used make? My 16 cable hat which is why I don’t understand why I gave the first one away!
6. If you had no limits, what would you like to create? A arm knitted afghan out of roving about 3-4 times the size of this pattern. I want a KING sized one–not a throw.
7. What is your favourite material to work with? Superwash Merino wool in DK or worsted weight. Totally forgiving while knitting and washable–especially Zen Garden Serenity DK.
8. What is the next technique you would like to learn? Weaving. I even have a loom, but I haven’t set it up yet.
9. What is the topmost item on your sewing/crafting wish list? Better yarn storage.
10. What is one sewing/crafting challenge you want to take for the year 2018? I’d like to: A. knit more yarn than I buy and B. Give away all of my circular needles.
