Uusi alku,New beginning

Pitkästä aikaa päivitän blogiani. Paljon on tapahtunut, pääkoppani sisällön kanssa on ollut hankaluuksia. Nyt alkaa näkyä valoa tunnelin päässä ja on aika kääntää uusi lehti tässä bloggauksessakin, yritän värkätä enklanninkielisiäkin osuuksia blogiini.
En tässä ehdi kertoa neulejutuistani, mutta kovin paljon ei silläkään rintamalla ole tällä välin tapahtunut. Ensi postauksessa lisää!






My very first blogging in english is no more than less than answering to the questionnaire for Sp9! I hope that that is useful for someone! ;-)

Questionnaire

Welcome to SP9!

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?

I love alla natural fibres, it's so hard to say, which of them is my absolute favourite one. Maybe the warm fibres; wool, alpaca, mohair, angora...

I absolutely don't like "plastic" yarns, 100% acrylic etc.

2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?

I have a bag for long needles, a file for round needles and a fine tube for my hooks (former tube for a perfume). I'm still looking for a perfect pöace for my double point needles.

3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?

I have been knitting and crocheting all my life since I was seven. My beloved grandmother did help me enormously lot in the beginning. Now I consider me to be advanced.

4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?

there is none anywhere.

5. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products, etc.)

Quite many strong scents give me headache in candles, but I love floral scents and everything natural.
