. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into?

Slytherin
2. List your favorite double-point needle brands, including size and length. Or would you prefer circulars?

I would prefer circulars in size 0 or 1, with a 24 inch length.
3. Would you like to try a new brand needle? If so, which brand? Size? Length?

I love the Addi turbo needles and I use 2 needles at a time. I am in the process of trying the circs from Knit Pics though.
4. If you are a RAVENCLAW, do you prefer the colors in the film or the book? Do you have a strong preference?

5. Do you have any allergies?
I am allergic to cigarette smoke for sure but as of yet no allergies to any fibers.
6. If you are swapping scarves - what is your desired length for the pattern? This will help your partner find the pattern that is just right for you and buy yarn accordingly.

Sock Swap 3 and off to college

Well it's time for another exciting sock swap. This time is sooooo exciting because my daughter is our house perfect. Also we took her to her college home this last weekend so the nest is getting alittle emptier. I don't think it's getting any calmer though but we are working on that. School starts for my son next week and I can honestly say that I can't wait. To have the quiet during the day will be absolutely wonderful. Teenagers seem to have lots of drama in their lives. So for all of you out there with teens almost adult children I feel for you!
