I currently live in New Mexico with my boyfriend and beautiful daughter in The Retro Palace. I'm currently a student double-majoring in Cosmetology and Architectural Drafting. I spend what little free time I have knitting, crocheting, sewing, and almost any other project I have time for. I do occasionally eat and shower, but only if there is no knitting to be done.

Yarn Meme

Casey, Ravelry's code monkey, recently posted a Current Top 100 Yarns, by both projects and stash. The meme goes like this:

Out of the top 50 yarns on Ravelry (by number of projects):
Bold the ones you’ve used and would use again,
Cross out the ones you’ve used and would not use again,
and italicize the ones you’ve never tried, but would like to.
Add comments as desired, and then pass the meme along to 5 knitters/crocheters.
Link back to this post and the person who tagged you.

Here goes:

There. That wasn't so hard! Although I wasn't officially tagged, I got the meme from Feather and Fan. Here's her meme post. Hopefully this'll make up for Leigh pretending she was dead so she wouldn't have to do it.

You all know I don't tag, so I'm just going to guilt five of you into doing it. There. If you read that last line, and you haven't done it yet, consider yourself obligated and guilted. HA!
