A few more bits of trivia about me -

I’ve been knitting for 20+ years and crocheting for 30+.

My favorite colors are green and red, but my (not-so-secret) real favorite color is pink.

Yes, I’m a natural redhead.  That, plus the previous fun fact, results in a life full of subtle wardrobe-related frustration.  In my next life, I will be either a platinum blond bombshell or a raven-haired temptress.

Here I am, happily wearing handknit sweater, poncho, and socks (not shown).

My absolute favorite fiber is MOHAIR.

I am a sucker for sequins, glitter, satin, tulle, fringe, marabou, and anything else tacky sassy or gaudy eye-catching.

I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and one husband, which is plenty for me to take care of.  In fact, my DH says I am really a cat, because I like to sleep and play with yarn. (This is OK, because I like cats, and that fur coat thing wouldn’t be too bad, either.)
