More SP11 Questions

1. What is the one knitting accessory you could not live without?
Well, I'm not sure. You need all of them at some point, right? Uh...scissors?

2. If you're heading on vacation, do you take knitting with you? If so, how much and what type of project?
Yes, since I've started knitting I always take a project. For my first trip, which was to London, I took a small lace scarf made with crystal palace kid mohair. It was small and weighed almost nothing and fit in my bag. London is different from home, in that you can sit in a museum with sharp implements in your hand and knit peacefully in front of the paintings and are trusted not to jump up and stab one. At home they are sure that you will. Second trip was to Peru and I took the beginnings of a wrap for an xmas present. I took plastic needles for that one because I wasn't sure how South Americans felt about needles at airports. That was the last time I knit with plastic needles.

3. Where have you travelled to that you'd consider your favorite spot?
Well, it's a little hard to pick between London and Lima. I guess Peru was my favorite, in that there is more diversity - that I saw anyway.

4. What is your favorite knitting book at the moment? Do you own it?
Right now it is Jane Sowerby's "Victorian Lace Today." I have yet to knit anything from it, but I like it because I met her at Stitches Midwest last year and spoke with her a couple times. She's a darling and I'd buy anything she wrote, even her grocery list, if she'd talk to me about it in that accent.

5. Do you listen to podcasts? Which is your favorite(s)?
I am very hard to please when it comes to podcasts. Right now I only listen to Lime and Violet. I've tried others, but either they stopped after just a couple (great) episodes or they go on and on about stuff that has nothing to do with knitting, or they are just idiots. L&V I like.
