Ooo, my first Secret Pal! I finally got signed up in time! Here's my questionairre:
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?
I am beginning to be a bit of a yarn snob. Not super expensive stuff, but I am really starting to love the nicer yarns. Rowan All Seasons Cotton is my current fave.
2. Do you spin? Crochet? No spinning, sub-,sub-novice crocheter. But I like it.
3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.)
Allergic to smoke and cats, but only if I pet them and touch my face. Go figure...
4. How long have you been knitting?
About a year and a half.
5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
I have an Amazon wishlist...and have a yarn wish list, but haven't posted it.

Just started beading (stitch markers so far).

Married, w/ 3 cats.
