~ Color Swap Questionnaire ~
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer high-end/natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?
I have recognized and accepted that I have actually grown into a yarn snob! LOL
The more I learn about different types of yarn the more I like and want to use! I have never liked eyelash/frilly yarn.

2. Do you spin? Crochet?
I don't spin, and really do not have the desire to pick that craft up.
However, I am actually learning how to crochet since there are quite a bit of knit patterns that calls for crochet edgings/finishings.
