What is your favorite size needles?
It depends on the size of the yarn. Usually size 1 for regular socks. The one pair of kilt hose I knit were done on size 2 with worsted weight yarn.
What is your favorite size yarn?
For socks, I usually use sock/fingering weight.
What is your favorite type of yarn?
I prefer wool.
Do you prefer circular or double pointed?
DPNs. I haven't tried circulars yet.
What is the make of your favorite needle?
Gotta be bamboo. Some materials do work better for different fibers. Right now I have a cotton wool blend going on aluminum.
Where do you get your yarn?
LYS, JoAnns, and another big craft store type place
How long have your been knitting?
Since Feb 2007
Do you use the English or Continental Style of knitting?
English, but left handed and in reverse.
( For non-knitters English or Continental or different way to hold the yarn that is to be knit.)
Do you would you knit hose for others (X-Markers)?
I would consider it if I had the time, but I need to finish two hats, a sweater, the pair of socks currently on the needles, and a pair of hose for myself. Not easy working nights six days a week.
