Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I would consider myself an intermediate knitter who is always up for a challenge!

I really love all colors, especially reds, turquoises, greens and purples. I don't like mustards or olive greens.
Do you like Latvian type patterns? If so, what are your favorite patterns?
I love all of the the Latvian type patterns, but no real favorite.

For me!

What other things do you enjoy knitting?
I also enjoy knitting socks, sweaters and hats.

I love Matroyshka dolls, especially weird ones. (Like the Elvis set I have.)

I enjoy baked goods, hot chocolate, and sweet/salty combos. I don't have any food allergies, and the only things I don't like are liver, kidney and blood pudding. ugh.
Do you have any kids? Pets?
No kids and two dogs.
What is your favorite part of Winter?
Snuggling up under the blankets with my sweetie, building snowmen and playing in the snow with the dogs.
