Homework--Snake Style

Are you a sock knitter?What are your foot measurements?
I truly wish I was a sock knitter. I've knitted many tiny socks, and even a pair of toddler socks, but when I attempt a regular size sock, I ALWAYS either mess up and have to frog, or I freeze at the part where I have to pick up stitches. I think it's a mental block kind of thing, and I'm also thinking that maybe an actual sock knitting class might help. Oh, btw, I wear a 6 1/2 shoe!

Do you have a yarn winder and/or a swift?
I have the plain old plastic ball winder, and my husband recently built a beautiful swift for me (see below for probable reason). So, yes, I have both!

Where/how to you keep you needles/hooks?
All my dpns and crochet hooks are in one metal box. My straights are all in a flower vase, and I have two interchangeable sets (Denise and KnitPicks Harmony) still in their cases.

Do you collect anything?
Yarn and yarn related things. I used to collect Dreamsicles, but got kind of tired of displaying a bunch of dust collectors! Long ago I collected mouse related items, and I do have a collection of snowmen that I put out at Christmastime. Oh, and I do have a collection of bird things. I guess I do collect stuff, but not on purpose--it just kinda happens.

What is your favorite type of music? Are you MP3 ready?
I love music, mostly listen to oldies and classic rock. I do have an IPOD, and my telephone is the Samsung Juke, which is also an MP3 player.

Do you like sweets? What are your favorites?
Unfortunately I do like sweets. I love chocolate covered nuts, and SnoCaps, and Raisinets!

What is your living situation like? Any pets? Children?
At this exact moment, I only have one of the boys living at home, the youngest. The oldest moved back out this afternoon, but I 'm not sure for how long. The middle one is in an eco-village in Tennessee, but will be home on Nov. 1. I had a beloved cat for seven years, but my husband got rid of him when I recently went to Reno on vacation. Long, sad story. I don't know if I'll ever forgive him--it was a real prick move.

Do you have an online wish list (Amazon, Etsy, Loopy Ewe, etc.)? Please include links for your swap pal.
I do not have any online wish lists. The only wish list I have is in my head.

Favorite Harry Potter movie character?
I love Severus Snape. It breaks my heart that he was so mistreated as a young boy, and warms my heart that he turns out to be such a good guy. I could just squeeze him!
