Ok, I started this once (over a month ago) and never finished it...but now SP10 is actually here so I figured I better get it done... In other news around here, still working on spinning up enough of the Corridale/Merino yarn for it's intended project, need to get some spinning done in the next couple weeks for a swap I signed up for and need to get my bag for the knitted purse exchange done...guess I better get busy!
And here is the questionnaire
