Summer of Yarn Love Swap

1. Do you knit or crochet? How long have you been at your craft?
Knit. I tried to crochet, I'm not very good at it. I learned to knit in high school, but I have been actively knitting for about three years.
2. Do you spin? What type of spinning?
No.
3. What are your favorite yarns/fibers? What are your least favorite yarns/fibers?
I like many things. I'm a big fan of yummy soft yarns. Not so much with the scratchy.
4. What are your favorite colors? What are your least favorite colors?
I'm a huge fan of blues and greens. Oranges and yellows are trickier - there are those I love and those that are not for me.

I think the only big one I have left (that I know of...) is Malabrigo. But I'm sure there's lots I haven't tried yet.

I'm on a scarf/shawl kick right now. But I am a big distracted knitter, so who knows.
