A Knitting Q&A

Alissa posted this quiz. I can’t pass up a good quiz.

 

1. Share an image of a knitting pattern you love but would probably never knit. Hue Shift Afghan. It’s gorgeous. I love it. There is no way I’d make it.

2. What is your favorite knitting technique? Cables

3. Yarn: wool, alpaca, cotton, linen, hemp, silk, or acrylic? Wool or wool blend

4. Needles: wood, bamboo, metal, plastic, or casein? Metal

5. Would you go on a knitting vacation? If yes, which country’s yarn shops would you like to visit? I’d love to go on a knitting vacation. It would have to be to Iceland. I’ve wanted to go there forever.
