4. What other designers inspire you?

1. How long have you been knitting?
I'm not sure, on and off for about 5 years I guess. Knitting nonstop for about 2 years!

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?
Regular reader - I love your blog its one of my favorites! I try not to lurk!

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
Hmmm nothing I knit ever turns out how I want it to. But I really love the cabled scarf I made my mom.

Merry Blogiversary! Congratulations on 3 years of excellent and inspiring work--I love this blog.

1. How long have you been knitting? A little less than 2 years. A good friend of mine taught me when I fell down the stairs and had to stay on my butt for a while.

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me? Who takes all your photos? They're always so artistic, and some of them look impossible to do on one's own.

Happy Blogiversary!!!

1. How long have you been knitting?
About 2 years.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?
I'm a new reader. I found your blog right after I figured out how to knit cables and was googling around for patterns.

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
It's a tie between the cute MochiMochi Land Bob toy I knit for myself and the cable knit blanket I am still in the progress of knitting - it is so soft and cuddly.

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?
Do you have any tips for beginners on how to design patterns?

1. I have been knitting for six years. I learned on a train across Europe while I was studying abroad.

2. I have been reading your blog for over two years, but I don't comment often.

3. My favorite thing that I've knit might be the Celtic Tote that I just finished (and I'm not saying that--seriously, I just stare at the bag, I can't believe something I made turned out so beautifully) or the Hidden Passion socks that I'm currently working on.

4. How many WIPs do you have at any given time?

Happy three years!

1. How long have you been knitting?
Hmm I'll need to look that one up...two years this January since I decided to teach myself to knit.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?
I've been a regular reader for quite some time, but can't remember when I started. I'm quite the lurker on most blogs I read, but occasionally have something to say.

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
That's a difficult question to answer, but since I wore it today remarking on how I loved it, and considering my excitement when it was finished: my handspun faroese shawl is my most beloved handknit to date. Although my Tangled Yoke cardigan comes in a close second as my first sweater.

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?
Hmm...what inspires you?

1. I've been knitting for 4 or 5 years I believe.
2. I'm a regular reader, have been for quite a while, but I'm also very much a lurker.
3. My favorite thing that I've knit....that is tough. I LOVE some of the lace shawls I've made, but I definitely get more use out of the socks. My favorite socks are probably a pair of basic stockinette trekking socks. I'm a big fan of trekking.
4. And a question for you... what's your favorite thing you've ever knit and/or designed.
Happy Blogiversary to you!

Hi Jen! Happy Anniversary!

4) My question for you is: are you an English or continental knitter?

Happy blogiversary!

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker? Lurker (oh the shame!) but I do comment sometimes.

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me? Mmm, I know you like Weezer (the band) - what other music do you like. Oh, and whats your favourite yarn to knit with?

1. Going on 11 years now... with a gap this week due to hand pain. Very tragic. It's driving me crazy but at least I got through the rest of the text in "Knitter's Book of Yarn" finally. Love that book.

2. I have no idea when I added you to my "list"--but I'm guessing last summer?

3. Impossible to say, but my most-worn FO in recent history is the Lush Hoodie in Soft Lux: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/crankyisgood/lush-hoodie

4. How's the piano playing going?

Congrats on three years blogging in Texas...

3. My favorite thing I've ever knit was a felted bag until I knit an awesome zip-up cardigan for my hubby.
4. What's the fave thing you've ever knit and which of your designs is your fave? (I'm not cheating by posting two in one question mark, right;)

Many happy returns of the day!

1. Over 20 years.
2. Regular reader, though I don't believe I've ever left a comment before. So I suppose that really makes me a lurker.
3. That's tough. It would be one of these four, I think: a My So-Called Scarf, an entrelac scarf, a Crosspatch hat, or a pair of Monkey socks.
4. I see others have already asked my first question (What inspires you when you design?), so I'll ask if you have a favorite "genre"--say, lace, cables, entrelac, fair isle, etc.?

Congratulations :) (Way to keep up a blog for so long.)
1. How long have you been knitting?
If garter stitch scarves count... ten years, if not then two or three.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?
Regular lurker. Sometimes I comment but not too often- usually people say or ask what I want to.

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
I'm pretty proud of a pair of socks I made for my Granma. I also liked the Zombie bracelet you designed, which I made for a friend. (Which is how I found this blog in the first place!)

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?
Has anyone recognized you on the street or randomly as a knitting designer?

Happy birthday to PieKnits!

1. How long have you been knitting?
I've been knitting for about 2 1/2 years now.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?
I've been reading PieKnits for around a year now, but until now I've been a lurker.

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
I've been really into knitting toys lately, so it'd have to be one of them. I can't choose just one of 'em!

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?
What is your favorite movie genre?

1. I have been knitting regularly for a year now as an activity to do when I suffer from minor migraine attacks. It's the only thing that doesn't make them worse! Also my boyfriend and I do it together and we use it to meditate together or have a good debate.

2. Yes, ever since 'Axel Mitts for moi' I have read your blog EVERY DAY and started "back reading". I loved your page on old hair styles. It inspired to put pink in my hair!

3. I've just knit a bear for my friend's 20th birthday which was knit out of a mustard coloured yarn (50p a ball from a charity shop and it was 50% wool!). She loved it so much that she was showing it off to everyone saying how talented I was and now she's going to take it on her trip around the world and take photos where ever she goes!!

4. As a musician I have to ask; What's your favourite music? Do you share that interest with Mr Pieknits? (BTW, top marks for having a home with a piano!)

Oh and Happy Blogiversary Pieknits! Your site is an inspiration to us all! (Cue tacky music from "A beautiful mind") but seriously, thanks!

Happy Blogiversary!!

1 - I first learned to knit 6 years ago this month, but I didn't really get into it until 2.5 years ago.

2 - I've been a regular reader for about a year now.

3 - I would be hard-pressed to choose just one favorite knit. My Gothic Leaf Stole (a Sivia Harding design), knit in Handmaiden Sea Silk and beaded with crystal megatamas, knit for a wedding I was in last November, is way up there.

4 - Who's your favorite designer?

Happy Blogivarsary!!!!!

Isn't it amazing how quickly the time goes?

1. Since October 2005
2. Regular reader for over a year
3. I love to knit toys. Fast, great knit gratification, and cute.
4. How long have you been knitting?

HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!!

1. I have been knitting for about a year now and I'm completely addicted.

2. I'm a regular. You're on my Google Reader, but I originally linked to your blog from Craftster.

3. Oooh, this one is a toughie. Probably wear my Jaywalkers more than anything, but they weren't that exciting to knit. I loved knitting my Monkey socks and the Hemlock Ring Blanket (my current WIP) more than anything to date. I love lace.

4. How did you learn to spin? Book, class, dvd? I'm dying to learn!

1. I have been knitting for about three years, my sister made me sign up for a scarf class against my will and I have been addicted ever since!
2. I am a regular reader, but don't comment.
3. My favorite thing I ever knit was the Big Bad Baby Blanket for my first nephew, James. It is made of Koigu PPPM - the colorway has a cream background, with every primary and pastel color painted on it. I loved that blanket and was thrilled to hear he wouldn't sleep without it!
4. Do you stash, or do you buy yarn for each new project as you go?

Happy Blogavversary...

1. I've been knitting for about... 35 years
2. I'll confess... "lurker"
3. Tough one... either... a very basic pullover for my then boyfriend about 22 years ago... or... my first baby's first afghan... wow... almost 18 years ago...
4. The same question I'd like to ask many knitters... "where do you find the time needed to focus on knitting?"

1. How long have you been knitting?

about 6 years

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?

I found your blog about 2 months ago searching for a yarn dyeing tutorial using Wilton's food dye. I've been a reader ever since!

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?

My Rock 'n' Roll argyle socks.

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?

What is the air speed velocity of a coconut laden swallow?

1. How long have you been knitting?
Close to 5 years now, which seems unreal.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?
A regular, of course!

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
How about crocheted? if that counts, then the answer is my wedding dress which I will be wearing on May 24 of this year! (I'm "elimarie" in ravelry if anyone wants to see it)

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?
If you were stuck in an alternate universe and could only knit one pattern for the next 10 years (I won't say the rest of your life, cause that would just be too overwhelming to contemplate) what would it be?

Happy birthday blog!

wow, 3 years!! Happy blog-iversary!

1. How long have you been knitting? Just 2 years now, totaly hooked and now spin and dye as well.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker? A regular lurker, lol. I check in every now and then, sometimes i do not comment to often though as sometimes our internet runs so slow it makes me nuts!

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?So many! Just one? Well....i would have to say a felted bag. I love seeing the knit item change and become new all over!

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me? When planting flowers which flower first catches your interest and which colors do you tend to lean towards?

1. How long have you been knitting? Just a few months. I don't even remember now, which blog I read that I had a link to yours.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker? I would still classify myself as a new reader!

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?I love baby and kids' sweaters--so fast and great for those of us with little patience!

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me? How long does it usually take for you to turn an idea into a finished, knitted piece? (hope no one else has asked yet--I didn't read everyone's comments) :)

Happy blogiversary!

1. How long have you been knitting?
About 16 years, off and on.

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?
Regular!

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
This is a tough one. I'm going to say my first ever pair of socks, since that was such a huge "OMG! I can do this!" moment. And I still have them and love them. So, yeah, first pair of socks.

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?
Not really, but I thought I'd take the opportunity to say thanks again for the saffron cookie recipe - it is stellar.

Happy 3 years! Hope there are many more to come!

Here are my answers to the questions.

1. How long have you been knitting?

I started knitting at age 8 or 9, but then stopped during high school and college. Now that I'm out of college, I am diving right back in!

2. Are you a regular, new reader, lurker?

I am a fairly new reader. I blog-jumped from somebody else's blog last month.

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?

Since I haven't knit anything majorly complicated yet, I would say my favorite knit is my Irish Hiking Scarf. I love the beauty and simplicity of it so much that I have made 3 scarves in a row!

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?

I am deathly afraid of making mistakes in knitting because I don't really know how to "frog" other than taking out the needles and undoing the work. How do you frog and still be able to pick up all your stitches without losing them? Or when you might do a crossed over type of stitch?

Thanks for letting me participate in your contest!

2. new reader / lurker **shame :)**
3. my easiest / most boring knits are my favorites. if i had to pick one, i'd probably say morehouse's melody shawl.
4. your FO picks are always wonderful and i always notice not only your knits, but how clean and tidy your house is - how do you do it??

1. Ive been knitting for just about 1 1/2 years
2. newish reader
3. I am obsessed with the pair of yellow fingerless gloves that i knit for myself, they are so beautiful and Ive worn them so much that they are so stretched out already but i just dont care becasue they are gorgeous!!!
4. What is your favorite ever food to cook/bake??

1. About 3 years now.

2. Regular lurker! I first saw Topi on Knitty, and though, hey, that's a Hindi word, and curiously found myself reading your blog, wondering what the Indian connection was :)

3. Hmm...perhaps a pair of knee highs with handpainted yarn in stockinette.

4. Non-knitting related - have you been to India? What do you think?

1. Hmmn.. about 3 years now (on and off), since I was mainly into crochet for the last 10 years

2. Regular

3. What's your favorite thing you ever knit?
hmmn. There are two.
It started out as a tank top but then some alterations i made into a Tee/Blouse, with Crochet Borders
The other one was a hat for my baby; I didnt want the heavy cable look, nor a lacy design and not the boring St.st; so I came up with my own design and it turned out great!! (Chk it out at : http://mycroknits.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-crochetknit-design.html)

4. Your turn! Anything you're curious to ask me?
You are into a lot of Crafts. Is there any kind of craft that you don't like (Something like nahhhh)or something you think is not your cuppa tea

2. you've been bookmarked for over a year now ;)
3. the dress I designed my daughter, hands down. Now i have to write up the pattern, change up sizes, etc. Someday maybe ...
