My First Swap

Just joined my first swap group and hoping it all goes well. So here is my Q & A!

Do you knit or crochet, or both? How long have you been at the craft?
I knit. I just started about the middle of July so not very advanced but I love it.

Do you spin?
No, maybe one day

What yarns/fibers are your favorites?
Not really picky about my yarn at the moment although I am fond of Bamboo.

What yarns/fibers do you not like?
I don't really care for ones that have bumps and lumps and fur mainly because it is impossible for me to knit with them.

What yarns/fibers would you like to try but haven’t?
I am sure there are lots but I am not as familiar with yarn types as everyone else.

I LOOOOVVVEEEE Bright colors. The only color I can think of that I don't like is orange and anything that is blue & orange.

I love wash cloths. They were great projects in the beginning and pretty practical as well.

Too many to list.

They are either in my new bag that I got or in a shoe box (they make the best storage compartments)
