When did you first start knitting / crocheting and where did you learn?

I taught myself in my freshman year of college -- I think I was 18.

Can you remember the first thing you made?

A dishcloth, of course! A very sad and wonky dishcloth.

Who are your favourite pattern designers and celebrity knitters & crocheters?

Ah. My two favorite crochet/knit bloggers are Alice Merlino of Futuregirl and Rachel Honeycutt of Cornflower Blue Studio.

What are your favourite things to stitch and do you have a favorite item you've made?

If I have to pick, I'd say my two favorite things to make are crochet-covered rocks and crochet scarves -- I have a ton of both!

What music/podcasts/TV shows do you love to stitch along to?

Podcasts: This American Life, Joy the Baker, Love and Radio, Dial-a-Stranger.

Do you do any other crafts and what are your hobbies?

Craftwise, I will do anything and everything . . . Right now I'm busy with my wedding and everything that goes along with it. Lots of DIY in a wedding!

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

Thanks so much for having me!
