Carmen, what’s on your needles right now?
I have Hitchhiker on my needles right now using the yarn that I got for my birthday - Dream in Color yarn in shades of my favorite color.
What feels like your favorite/greatest knitting accomplishment?
My favorite knitting accomplishment was a shawl called Caledonia. it is done in very bright colors and was my first attempt with beads.
What feels like the worst knitting mistake/foible/wrong choice you’ve ever made?
My worst knitting mistake was trying to make a Santa hat felted purse. I never quite finished it. It was awful.
Straight or circular needles?
I definitely prefer circular needles.
Metal or wood needles?
Metal needles are too slippery so I prefer wood or bamboo needles.
White chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate?
Milk chocolate wins every time.
Coffee or tea?
I like tea-- both hot and iced. I don't drink coffee at all
What’s your favorite Allie novel?
My favorite Allie book is The Firefighter's Homecoming.
What are you reading now?
I am reading the third book in a series by Lorena McCourtney- Death Takes a Ride. I have already read the first two books- Dying to Read and Dolled Up to Die. You can see that I like mysteries.
Do you have a favorite knitting character from a book, movie, or television show (Allie books not included)?
My favorite knitting books are mystery books. I like Mary Krueger's books- Died in the Wool and Knit Fast, Die Young.
