Knitting Meme

Go here for a great explanation of a meme. On the one hand, it's a self-propogating piece of cultural information. On the other hand, it's all about ME-ME! Here's a knitting meme. You can copy the questions into a post and answer them -or as many as you feel comfortable answering- and then we'll know more about each other. If you reply in the comment field, everybody's answers will stay together in one thread. But if you don't, your answer will appear on the front page of the blog. Either way is fine by me.

Without further ado:

1. Are you a yarn snob? Do you avoid Red Heart, Lion Brand, etc... or is it all the same to you?
2. Do you spin? Crochet?
3. How long have you been knitting?
4. What other crafts do you like to do?
5. What are your favorite yarns to knit with?
6. What are your favorite needles to knit with?
7. What's your favorite knitting gadget?
8. What fibers do you absolutely NOT like?
9. What are your favorite items to knit?
10. What are you knitting right now?
11. What do you think about ponchos?
12. Do you prefer straight or circular needles?
13. Are you a sock knitter?
14. How did you learn to knit?
15. What is -and how old is- your oldest UFO (unfinished Object)?
