Tonight I got a bunch of questions and because I\u2019ll be in London this weekend I make my answers officially public:<\/p>\n<p>1. Which yarn is most like your personality (you can be specific or general with your answer- brand, type, color, fiber, whatever)? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Expensive yarns\u2026 silk, cashmere, angora (but not to much), special and soft. Or not so expensive yarn, may be even unexpensive, but soft and in nice colours.<\/span><br \/>\n2. What is your favorite color yarn to knit\/crochet with? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Green, all kinds of green, spring green, riotous green, soft green, tender green, light green, goldgreen, etc. Or purple. Perhaps the right kind of blue, maybe orange. Because I always wear black. <\/span><br \/>\n3. Have you ever used variegated, or magic, yarns? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Of course, why not\u2026you can do fabulous things with it.<\/span><br \/>\n4. Do you tend to favor certain fibers when choosing yarns? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">No, as long as it is soft.<\/span><br \/>\n5. Do you prefer to work with center-pull or traditionally wound balls of yarn? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Doesn\u2019t matter.<\/span><br \/>\n6. Have you ever worked with organic yarns or are you interested in trying them? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Mwah\u2026 not really.<\/span><br \/>\n7. How many and what projects have you made in the last year? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Look in my weblog in the category \u2018breien\u2019 (knitting in Dutch). The text is in Dutch and not to understand, but pictures are universal.<\/span><br \/>\n8. Will you be knitting any gifts this year? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">I knit gifts almost exclusively.<\/span><br \/>\n9. What is your favorite one skein project? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">A babybeaner\u2026 it was so cute! And the dropstitch scarf.<\/span><br \/>\n10. How much yarn do you have in your stash and how do you store it? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Too much yarn and it is stored in plastic boxes. In my new house I plan a beter place in which I can see what I have.<\/span><br \/>\n11. Do you have a yarn in your stash that you love so much you can never use it or part with it? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">I have some silky cotton in off white with small coloured specks that is very special. Don\u2019t know why. It is difficult to decide what to knit of it. <\/span><br \/>\n12. Do you knit less or differently in the summer? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">More cotton, cool yarns, less woolly things.<\/span><br \/>\n13. Do you belong to any knitting groups (online or offline)? <span style=\"color: #3300cc\">Yes, SnB Amsterdam <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/SnB_Amsterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/SnB_Amsterdam\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, I keep you informed. And from now on I&#8217;ll try to translate my posts. The knitting ones at least. Maybe more. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have put my name down for this project\u2026I love surprises, so why not guarantee myself a surprise or two?
