Spring Felted Bag Questionaire

1.How long have you been knitting or crocheting? How did you learn?
Learn as a kid in grade school, learn to do a granny square and even taught my mom how to do it. Use to just do afghans mostly hairpin lace but until the last 10 years I have really gotten into crocheting just about anything, just to see if I can do it or not..lol

2. What are your favorite yarns to knit\crochet felted bags with?
I have only just recently learn to felt and I’m hooked, but I haven’t felted with anything other than the Merino Wool or Patons Classic. Stores out here don’t seem to carry all the varieties that other places do.

3. What are your favorite needles to knit\crochet with?
I have the old aluminum hooks plus a set of the Crystal lites

4. What are the last 3 bags you knitted\crocheted (include URL for Yahoo! or flickr album or your blog if you have them!)? You can also link to patterns if you don't have pictures of your finished objects! Only have pictures of the following for now

5. Do you carry the bags that you make, give them as gifts, or both?
Usually wind up finding new homes for them or made for exchanges. I have a new pattern coming for one I want to make myself but I have kept a couple I’ve made. I just don't have them posted anywhere yet.

6. What is your favorite felted bag that you have made for yourself?
Right now it’s a B4-Bag look alike that another gal wrote a crochet for and I tested. Gets lots of compliments but I do plan to make more if I can find the purples I like. Plus a new pattern coming..lol I love pockets and a shoulder strap!!

Favorite is purples/teals but I do wear a lot of blues, black, red. Love the bright neon Lime, also jewel tones.

8. Chocolate: White, Milk, Dark, or not so much?
Yes Please!!! I’m a Choc-O-holic

9. Coffee, Tea, or Milk?
Coffee, you said coffee :) but I also drink sweet tea and milk has to have
chocolate in it.

10. Do you prefer sweet or salty treats? What kinds? Sweets- chocolates,
tootsie rolls, cookies…Just do not like nuts mixed in it. and I do love Salt Water Taffies!!

11. If you went into Bath and Body Works and could only come out with one item, what would it be and what would it smell like?
Oh that is no fair, just 1? Would have to be shower gels..love bath & body works gels & lotions. Scent…hum toughie there, get a lot of compliments with Black Raspbery/Vanilla..I’m not a vanilla person but hubby loves it.

12. Do you enjoy any other crafts or hobbies? Do you collect anything?
I do lots of different crafts, need to get back into my scrapbooking as I’m behind in that big time…I do collect Angels (love em) and also lighthouse And I have a magnet collection on the frig.

13. Are there any bag patterns you have not yet knit, but hope to someday?
I tried knitting, made my first dishcloth but I’m really slow with it so its Not high on my list, but I do have a crochet bag pattern coming that I can’t Wait to do.

14. What is currently OTN (on the needles) for you? On my hooks is a Halter Top for my DIL out of a new book I just got. Plus I also have a lapghan in the making for our recliner.

15. What is your most recent finished object before that? A Tote for ITEIII

16. What's cutest: Puppies, Piggies or Pixies? Puppies of course, but Pixies might be fun too..they are magical aren’t they ?
