GAL:
\nWhat is your favorite thing about the gal?<\/strong>
\nI love that this is a chatty group, but my favorite thing is that like any KAL, it really motivate and inspires me.<\/p>\n

what is your current # of wips?<\/strong>
\nAt least 7 on the needles and about 10 in my head!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are you currently working on?<\/strong>
\nMy second GAL project: Fisherman\u2019s Fabric by 10 Hours or Less<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where did you heard about the GAL?<\/strong>
\nOn Instagram.<\/p>\n

How many years have you participated?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a first-timer.<\/p>\n

What Do you like best about it?<\/strong>
\nI have been introduced to a lot of designers that I was previously unaware of.<\/p>\n

Setting you create in:<\/strong>
\nWhat time of day do You knit or crochet?<\/strong>
\nAny chance I get!<\/p>\n

Where do you craft? (can I have a photo of your favorite spot?)<\/strong>
\nAnywhere and everywhere\u2026on the couch, in bars, in the car or on a plane, at a movie, even at work.<\/p>\n

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>
\nUsually TV, sometimes podcasts.<\/p>\n

Which Social Gathering do you knit or crochet at?<\/strong>
\nOnce a month I attend my local Knitting Guild, and also once a month I meet a group of my coworkers at a coffee shop for a few hours. I think we have been meeting at the same coffee shop on the third Friday for about eight years!<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite snack for while you do handwork?<\/strong>
\nBeer, ha ha or coffee.<\/p>\n

Crafting Preferences:<\/strong>
\nFlat or in the round?<\/strong>
\nEither is fine by me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wood, bone, plastic or metal needles\/hooks?<\/strong>
\nMetal<\/p>\n

What is your go-to pattern or go-to item to make (hat, socks, etc.)?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m too ADD for that.<\/p>\n

Do you have a yarn weight that you prefer or one that you really don\u2019t enjoy working with?<\/strong>
\nNo and no.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite fiber mix (superwash, merino, nylon\/merino mix, hemp, linen, acrylic mix, cotton, alpaca\u2026)?<\/strong>
\nSquishy merino, alone or mixed. You can punish me slowly with linen.<\/p>\n

Continental or English?\u00a0<\/strong>
\n(a photo of tools would be nice)<\/strong>
\nEnglish<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Technique:<\/strong>
\nWhat is a technique you want to try?<\/strong>
\nMosaic slipped stitches<\/p>\n

What favorite technique is currently in your repertoire?<\/strong>
\nFading colors (does that count as a technique?)
\nYES<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Do you have a tip or \u2018trick\u2019 to share?<\/strong>
\nFor a SSK, just knit the next two stitches together through the back loop.<\/p>\n

Do you like to learn techniques from video or text tutorial best?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a very visual learner so I usually start with text\/drawings then watch a video as well.<\/p>\n

Thank you Kathy!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
