Lacevember Questions
Here are the answers to my Lacevember questions.
The knitting questions, or the usual suspects
How long have you been knitting?
Four years.
How did you learn to knit?
My mom got me started, then I'm self taught (books and internet) from there.
Favorite thing about knitting?
Relaxation, something to do when I can't be in my sewing room, portability.
How long have you been knitting lace?
Not long. I've made two lace shawls and a couple of items with small lace bits on them.
Favorite thing about knitting lace.
The finished product -- beautiful. . .
The yarn questions, or flash your stash
Favorite lace yarn?
My favorite so far was Knitpicks Alapaca Cloud. I have some Lorna's Laces Helen's lace in my stash for the next big project.
variegated or solids for shawls?
Solids.
Favorite lace color?
I have been on a blue/green kick for a long time. I love the look of white lace, but don't think I would be able to use the finished item -- too dressy.
Technique, or show us your skillz
Circs or straights?
Circs.
Favorite lace knitting trick?
Lifelines.
Lifelines? If so with what?
Oh yeah, baby. I use whatever cotton yarn that's laying around -- it's easy to pull out.
Fancy blocking wires, or just sewing pins stuck in your carpet?
Pins, but I have a bit cutting table in my sewing room, so I lay the item out on a big piece of burley knit terry that use for pressing when I sew.
Pattern, or can you follow directions
Pattern, I'm a little scared of not doing as I'm told.
shawls or lacey items?
Shawls, but I can see that I'm going to have to stop soon, since I don't wear them much.
triangle, rectangle, or circular shawls?
Triangle, but I want to make EZ's Pi shawl (round) one of these days.
Charts or printed instructions?

Just Fun, yup that's right, just for fun
Favorite jelly belly flavor?

Coke, classic or with lime?

Holiday carols, sing along, or wish they would be banned from all public airwaves?
