I am now making the Orangina top...a really tedious but lovely top, I am making it out of orange cotton. I have also started a dishcloth exchange, which is coming along quite nicely, everyone seems to enjoy it. I am really loving having my eldest son home, he & my dh went to the new Xmen movie yesterday, got a dose of man-violence. I am posting some questions for my blog readers:
1. What is your all-time favourite (worse) yarn to knit with ?
Well, right now I am hooked on cotton. Maybe my answer will be different this time next year. I really dislike working with 100% wool.
2. Your favourite needles ?
Gotta be my short plastic ones.
3. The worst thing you ever knit
My first knitted garmet, I didn't read the directions right, & it was HUGE, I ended up frogging it all.
4. Your favourite pattern
Gosh, I have bought so many books, there is always something I can't wait to get started on. So far, I love the way this Orangina top looks.
5. Most valuable knitting technique
Wow, thats a hard one. I know how to cast on just using my thumb, & have taught this to several people. Someone taught it to me when I was 12.
6. Best knit book or magazine
Some of the Intarsia mags, for sure.
7. Your favourite knit-along
sad to say, I have never done one of these.
8. Your favourite knit blogs
wow, I have lots that I try to go on & post regularly, but I really like to read Trincotine.
9. My favourite knitwear designer
Kim Hargreaves, Debbie Bliss, Erika Knight and Adrienne Vittadini.
10.The knit item you wear the most?
I have made several winter garments, now with making the Orangina top, I imagine that I will be wearing it.
