What’s your name on Ravelry? If you don’t have a Ravelry account, why? ftlsweetie Wow! The last question seems rather anti-climactic, doesn’t it? However, send me a friend request and I’ll add you back. I love looking at others projects and yarny goodness. I can’t believe it’s the last day of the Knitting Challenge. It…

30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 29
Do you have any tips, or things that you’ve learned from knitting? I’ve learned that knitting relaxes me and puts me into a meditative state. So much so that I knit for a really long time before realizing that I haven’t taken a break. I can’t keep doing that or I’ll end up taking a forever…
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 28
Do you do any other crafts besides knitting? What are they, and did learning to knit come before or after learning these other crafts? I love crafting! I’ve crocheted since I was eight years old…as well as cross stitched since I was a teenager. My Mom always made sure we had something fun to work…
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 27
How do you acquire most of your yarn? Online retailers, local yarn shops, swaps, or large chain craft stores? What’s your favorite? I have acquired yarn from each of these options. I’ve also had it given to me by friends and family. I acquire most of my yarn from different indie dyers on Etsy. I’ve…
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 26
Have you ever been a part, or wanted to be a part of a knit-a-long? What was it? If not, why? I’ve been part of several knit-a-longs and have really enjoyed them. There’s something about the camaraderie and excitement of seeing others progress that I find exhilarating and inspiring. I most recently participated in the…
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 25
Do you have a knitting book or a place where you keep patterns, ideas, size measurements? Post a picture of it! Like most internet savvy knitters these days, I keep my notes / patterns, etc. on Ravelry. It’s the easiest way to go back and look over the details of a project, especially when knitting…
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 24
Have you ever made your own pattern or dyed your own yarn? How did it turn out? I haven’t made my own pattern or dyed my own yarn; however I am interested in doing both! I’ve watched videos on YouTube for how to dye yarn and I think it would be super fun. I just…
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 23
If you had the supplies (and patience for it), what project would you start today? Let’s just put this out there. I will never have the supplies for this project. Who is going to spend $398.00 USD on the yarn and pattern for a wrap? (Okay…that’s kind of a facetious question…because I would if I…
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 22
Have you ever stricken someone off your to-knit-for list because they didn’t appreciate/take care of your last knitted gift to them? Absolutely…unequivocally, yes. I’m not going to name names; however when they don’t receive another knitted / crocheted gift from me, they will know. Although, I doubt they even care to tell you the truth….
30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 21
Do you knit gifts for friends and family for the holidays or birthdays? Absolutely! Holidays, birthdays, new babies…just about everyone in my family has received some sort of knit or crochet gift at one point in their lives. Remember that I just started knitting in February of 2015, so last year was my first year…
