KMKS

For my KMKS swapee, here's my answers to the questionnaire :)

What are your favorite colors? I love blue and green, but I don't really mind the color! At the moment I use yellow and green mittens with my blue jacket at purple scarf, who cares if everything match ?

Are you a new mitt knitter? No, but I knit far less mittens than I knit socks!
How long have you been knitting mittens? Think I started knitting mittens as the same time as socks, so about 18years...

Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn? both, just not in the same project

What fibers do you prefer in mitten yarn? wool! It gets cold in Norway!

Where do you usually knit mittens? Everywhere...

How do you usually carry/store small projects? In a small knitting bag I have in my backpack.

What are your favorite mitten patterns? I love the norwegian Selbu mittens, but then I am Norwegian. I also knit a lot of felted mittens.

What are your favorite mitten knitting techniques? I usually use DPNs but now I've finally managed to figure out magic loop and my last pair was knitted using the magic loop technique.

What new techniques would you like to try? surprise me!

What are your favorite needles for knitting mittens? I finally got a pair of Addi for knitting magic loop, and I love them!
