Here are my answers to the SP5 questions... you can always drop an annonymous comment on my blog if you need more info!
thanks!


1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?

I don't spin... am afraid to add another addiction to the list. I do crochet...
