Annette tagged her readers with a meme, and I'm playing along, too. Here are ten knit-related things you might not know about me:
1. I'm drawn to "classic" garment patterns, including those of Erika Knight, Kim Hargreaves, Debbie Bliss and Louisa Harding.
2. I own 76 balls of Jo Sharp Rare Comfort Kid Mohair. Isn't that insane?
3. I love Harris Tweed. Well, any kind of tweed, really, but Harris Tweed, with its history and scratchy durability, is beautiful.
4. I collect patterns of skulls (which most of you probably know) and food. I don't know why, but knitted food just cracks me up.
5. I prefer knitting with circular needles.
6. When I'm knitting lace, I usually have two lifelines. Just in case.
7. I love to swatch.
8. Je deteste le fil nouveaute.
9. I knit patterns from magazines and books in roughly the same proportion. The few stand-alone patterns I've purchased are predominantly for lace shawls.
10. I love the fairy tale aspect of knitting lace and felting. These items turn from ugly ducklings into beautiful objects by our creative acts. Magic.

Qu'est que c'est le fil nouveaute?
76 balls?! LOL Parlez-vous francais aussi? Et Marie et Melise? Moi aussi (un peu)!
Bless your heart, I wonder how many mohair balls are green, brown or black LOL Not insane owning so much mohair--- it is beautiful. Wow, not too many people love to swatch. It is for the best, though.
