Knit Mitt Kit Swap - finally the questionaire

The Questionnaire:

Are you allergic to any fibers? Not allergic, but sensitive to itchy stuff.

What are your favorite colors? red! and pink but mostly I love any green, I just have and use green so much that I'm thinking I need a new favorite color?

Are you a new mitt knitter? I've done a few fingerless mitts, even created my own pattern (that I love!) but have yet to close in the fingers on any gloves or mitts

How long have you been knitting mittens? First ones were this fall and they were oh so Fetching

Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn? I love both

What fibers do you prefer in mitten yarn? anything soft and warm

Where do you usually knit mittens? Home or in the car or at the kids' sports practices; anywhere really

How do you usually carry/store small projects? A small basket or ziplock bag

What are your favorite mitten patterns? I don't really have a favorite. I've been eyeing the thrummed mittens in one of the new magazines that came out this fall - maybe it was in IK or VK (can't remember and I don't feel like getting up to look right now :o))

What are your favorite mitten knitting techniques? Simple cables are fun but really anything is fine.

What new techniques would you like to try? Thrummed

Any pattern you would love to make if money and time were no object? sure don't know the answer to that one

Favorite kind of needles (brand, materials, straights or circs, etc)? Addis - turbos or bamboo dpns. I'd like to try the Knitpicks circs

If you were a specific kind of yarn, which brand and kind of yarn would you be? I hate these kind of questions, I never know how to answer them.

Do you have a favorite candy or mail-able snack? Sugar Babies, M&M's, Junior Mints, Lindt truffles

What’s your favorite animal? my dog is pretty much the only animal I like
