Thanks to a bad headache last night, I got absolutely no knitting or spinning done, and very little (for me) reading. The highlight of my evening was making Mom laugh: I was wearing my new shawl and said, “Do you realize that, since this is a pi-are-square shawl that that basically means it’s a pop-tart? A cherry pop-tart.” …

… Yes, exactly. I told you it was a bad headache! So luckily, I have a follow-up to yesterday’s Interview fun.

So, here are the questions for those of you who joined this little game:

For Liz:

1. You have a LOT of sock yarn! Do you think you’ll actually turn all of it into socks??
2. What was the hardest thing you ever knitted? How did it come out?
3. You say you like Sci-fi; what authors are your favorites? Any you dislike?
4. You definitely sound like a dog person to me, but you sounded surprised when you said it yourself . . . why is that surprising (especially when dogs are so wonderful?)
5. What’s your favorite fiber to spin? What have you most enjoyed spinning??

For Diann:

1. You have 15 cats? They are lovely creatures, of course, but isn’t that rather a lot? (big grin)
2. What is your favorite kind of knitting? (sweater? sock? cables?)
3. You mentioned redesigning your yard, are you doing it yourself, or having a landscaper do it? Do you generally do your own gardening?
4. You got quite an assortment of KnitPicks yarn! What do you think of it? (I have the Shimmer in Turquoise Splendor, too, and think it’s lovely)
5. You say you like to read (a subject dear to my heart). What’s your favorite kind of reading? Favorite author?

For Tina:

1. Where did you get “laprincipessaknits”? (Are you a princess in disguise?)
2. You have very firm opinions about area LYSs (along with which I mostly agree). Would you buy your yarn online rather than patronize the stores you don’t like?
3. How are you enjoying your freshman year of college?? (Sure is different than M.K., huh?)
4. In that cute picture of the knitted teddy bear, I can’t help but notice the assortment of Jane Austen books on the bookshelf. (I always look at bookshelves!) Is she a favorite author of yours? Or did all those books somehow get there by mistake?
5. What kind of spinning wheel do you have? Do you love it or are you already looking for a “better” model? How long have you been spinning?

Oh, and of course, Happy St. Patrick’s Day for all you Irish folks out there!
