1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
At the moment, I’m in love with natural fibers such as pure wool and merino, as they are so soft. Recently, I have started knitting dishcloth and therefore have been introduced to cotton too!! However, would love to knit with other types of natural fibers one day such as alpaca, silk, and others. I do not like Synthetic fibers and novelty yarn.

At the moment, I store my needles in separate zipper lock bags. One for circulars and one for dpns. I have needle bag for my straights.

3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I just picked up knitting some time about March last year in 2005. My mum has been knitting for as long as I could remember but I never learn from her. Since I’ve been living abroad, I wanted to pick up something as a hobby and to pass the time. So, I actually picked up knitting from the internet.
