I craft whenever I\u2019m not at work and I can sit down and relax. I\u2019m also a tabletop roleplayer, and I even craft when we have friends over to play! I always have a project bag with me, just in case I can put in some crafting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there TV? Music? Podcast? Audiobook? Anything? No distractions? (My favorite is when my husband reads aloud to our kids and I get to do handwork.)<\/strong><br \/>\nAll of the above. All of my Netflix\/Prime Video\/Disney+\/etc. Time is spent crafting. I can\u2019t sit still. Once, I even knit in a dark cinema during a movie (only knit stitches on a simple pattern, of course, but still). I\u2019m also a fan of audiobooks, I listen to them when I warp a loom, or when I do the dishes\/house tasks or when I commute (can\u2019t knit when I drive).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which Social Gathering do you knit or crochet at?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m a social person, but a solitary crafter. I have yet to find some time to go to social crafting gatherings (right now, my crafting time serves as \u201cme\u201d time). But there are some activities, like game nights, where I craft.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a favorite snack for while you do handwork?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo. But snuggling on the couch next to a cozy fire with a cup of coffee to craft when there is a slow snow fall is one of my definition of a perfect day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crafting Preferences:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Flat or in the round?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the round. Although I\u2019m not against flat knitting either!<br \/>\n<strong>Ever try Tunisian Crochet?<\/strong><br \/>\nSadly, not yet! This and tatting are on my \u201cto learn\u201d list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wood, bone, plastic or metal needles\/hooks?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt really depends on the project. I have metal hooks, so I use them. I really like my nickle plated DPN\u2019s and interchangeable needles, as well as my wood DPNs and my square interchangeable wood needles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your go-to pattern or go-to item to make (hat, socks, etc.)?<\/strong><br \/>\nI hit phases\u2026 Crochet wise, I always go back to my first love : amigurumis. I make other crocheted articles, but Amis are the projects that bring me the most joy\/satisfaction. Knit wise : right now, I\u2019m all in for colorwork sweaters, but I tend to go back to accessories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a yarn weight that you prefer or one that you really don\u2019t enjoy working with?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor crochet, I prefer worsted weight yarn. For knitting, I\u2019m a fingering weight fan. Super bulky yarn ends up hurting my hands, so I use this less. I\u2019m not a fan of extra huge yarns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite fiber mix (superwash, merino, nylon\/merino mix, hemp, linen, acrylic mix, cotton, alpaca\u2026)?<\/strong><br \/>\nThat\u2019s like asking me which of my children I prefer! I love them all, they all have their use. But I tend to go for superwash merino with nylon for my garments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Continental or English?<\/strong><br \/>\nContinental knitting all the way!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technique:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What is a technique you want to try?<\/strong><br \/>\nNext on my to-try list : Steeking. I\u2019m actually going to try in in this very GAL, with the Wolf in Sheep\u2019s clothing sweater I\u2019m planning for my nephew. My sister admitted that she tends to forget sweaters and that they end up not being used, but a vest would be worn more often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What favorite technique is currently in your repertoire?<\/strong><br \/>\nRight now, I\u2019m big on stranded colorwork in knitting. So I guess it\u2019s high on my favorites right now<br \/>\nBut if I have to single out a favorite technique, it would be brioche. Have you seen the impact it has on a project? Just wow!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/651C0B40-1CA7-4745-8FC8-81DD76E8BC49_medium.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/651C0B40-1CA7-4745-8FC8-81DD76E8BC49_medium.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/651C0B40-1CA7-4745-8FC8-81DD76E8BC49_medium-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/651C0B40-1CA7-4745-8FC8-81DD76E8BC49_medium-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a tip or \u2018trick\u2019 to share?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt all comes down to basic stitches.
