I’m finally<\/em> answering the questions from the Knit Mitten Kit Swap<\/a>. Apologies to my pal, who has been waiting patiently.<\/p>\n

Are you allergic to any fibers?<\/strong> I’m not actually allergic to anything as far as I know, but mohair makes me itch like crazy.<\/p>\n

What are your favorite colors?<\/strong> Blue, green, purple, pink, orange…um…almost anything? More intense colors are more my style than pastels, and I think I look pretty awful in yellows and tans.<\/p>\n

Are you a new mitt knitter? How long have you been knitting mittens?<\/strong> I’ve knit mittens before. I have no idea when I knit my first pair – at least a few years ago, anyway. <\/p>\n

Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn?<\/strong> I like both!<\/p>\n

What fibers do you prefer in mitten yarn?<\/strong> Wool! I’m not too worried about washability, since mittens don’t tend to need washing so often.<\/p>\n

Where do you usually knit mittens? <\/strong> Wherever I’d knit anything else.<\/p>\n

How do you usually carry\/store small projects?<\/strong> I have various tote bags I rotate projects into when I’m working on them, and my craft room – where I store things I’m *not* currently working on – is a complete disaster of bags, baskets, boxes, and…piles. Piles of things. <\/p>\n

What are your favorite mitten patterns?<\/strong> I don’t really have a favorite pattern. Most of my mittens have been made up. I’d actually like to have a pattern!<\/p>\n

What are your favorite mitten knitting techniques?<\/strong> When I’m not using a pattern I basically knit them fingers-down, like toe-up socks, only for your hands.<\/p>\n

What new techniques would you like to try?<\/strong> Maybe some colorwork or cabled mittens? I’ve done both techniques before, but not on mittens.<\/p>\n

What are your favorite needles for knitting mittens?<\/strong> Circulars – I’m starting to really like the few KnitPicks needles I’ve gotten my hands on, more even than my beloved Addis…<\/p>\n

What are some of your favorite yarns?<\/strong> I really like a lot of yarns, and I don’t think I really have a particular favorite. I gravitate towards natural fibers, and am most tempted by the soft, squishy hanks of hand painted yarns in the store.<\/p>\n

What yarn do you totally covet?<\/strong> Nothing in particular.<\/p>\n

Any pattern you would love to make if money and time were no object?<\/strong> I haven’t really looked at mitten patterns all that much, so, no.<\/p>\n

Favorite kind of needles (brand, materials, straights or circs, etc)?<\/strong> KnitPicks circulars are my new favorites!<\/p>\n

If you were a specific kind of yarn, which brand and kind of yarn would you be?<\/strong> Uh…I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite candy or mail-able snack?<\/strong> Dark chocolate.<\/p>\n
