3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
I learned to knit when I was 16. My mom taught me and I tried to knit a scarf. It turned out very badly so I put the needles down for about 15 years. I was watching Knitty Gritty one day and decided I can do that! The rest is history. I would say I am a beginner/intermediate knitter. I love to knit socks and have done 4 pair now but have yet do knit a sweater.

Hi!
This is your NY Sock Exchange Spoiler. I hope your summer is going well. There is so much going on craftwise for me, how about you? The Yarn Harlot recently visited my area, and I have become so inspired by her! Have you ever read any of her books?
Also, I do not have your email addy.
