Socks for Addie
These are socks I made for
Addie using leftovers from the Lisa Souza yarn I had. Small socks are much faster to make than normal ones! Addie's mama, my friend Sarah, told me what size shoe Addie wears, but since I didn't know what that meant in inches, I had to guess. I hope I got it right. The pattern is the same as the pattern for the big girl socks.

Secret Pal 11 Questionnaire
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I really like merino. I, oddly enough, like cotton. I do not like acrylic!
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
The DPNs/Circs are in their little cases in a ziplock bag. The straight needles are in a needle holder that is actually fairly boring. (twas a gift) I also have the Denise set and they are in their own little case as well.
3. How long have you been knitting & how did you learn? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced?
Erm, 5 years? My mom taught me. I hate the skill level question - I guess I'll go with intermediate, but I'm not really scared to try anything.
4. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
Yes, amazon. I've had trouble posting it before so please either search by my full name (I should be the only one who comes up) or email me and I will email it to you.

lavender. I hate vanilla scented things.
