Hi, I'm Inky!

Yay for more blogging!!

I like the idea of kool-aid dying the 2nd color - I saw that when I first read over the paperwork and wondered what I'd do. Or perhaps another dye in a more tan shade of beige?

so here's my stats:

Where do you live? San Diego, CA/USA

How old are you (gasp!)? I'll be 45 on May 23.

Who else lives with you? My Husbandman (age 32, go inky!) and 2 cats, Boo and Noel.

Continental or English? English

How long have you knit? I learned around age 15, fiddled with scarves off and on until 2004 when I started knitting more often obsessively.

What type of needles do you use? I prefer Crystal Palace Bamboo or my new WEBS Bamboo Interchangeables.

Favorite online knitting store? knitpicks.com and yarnmarket.com

Best aspect of your knitting? I really like to work through a problem until it's resolved so my work is as good as I can get it with my current ablities.

Worst aspect of your knitting? Tension, definitely. I plan to try using a smaller needle for the purl rows on my swatches.

Most-used knitting reference book? Sally Melville's Knitting Experience - Book 1 & 2S

What's your stash like? Fairly manageable 3 large ikea storage boxes, and 2 bamboo chests posing as accessories. I'm on a yarn diet right now.

Are you afraid of the master knitting program? Not so much afraid as overwhelmed. When the packet came I was petrified but the more I read, checked out a half dozen books from the library and practice the less stress I feel.

Are you excited? Constantly. Oh wait you didn't mean it "that" way did you?

Have you started the swatches/questions/paper, and how long ago? My Wool of the Andes arrived a few days ago, I have all the binder, page protectors, reference books at the ready. I think I'll have to wait til the week after next as I started a new job and am still in training into next week. Then I can knit at work in a cat free quiet zone.
