What is your favorite size needles? Currently I'm using US 6

What is your favorite size yarn? Cascade 220. I'm getting a gauge of 6.5/9 with this yarn on US 6 needles. It's a heavy fabric!

What is your favorite type of yarn? Cascade 220

Do you prefer circular or double pointed? DPNS (double points)

What is the make of your favorite needle? Brittany

Where do you get your yarn? LYS: Be a yocal - Buy local!

How long have your been knitting? Not yet three months

Do you use the English or Continental Style of knitting? English/throwing

Do you would you knit hose for others (X-Markers)? Maybe. But I don't think I've enough experience to undertake bespoke knitting. And I'm not sure anyone would pay what I would ask! My second set of hose have >250 stitch rows - it takes quite a while!

Keep in mind - I've only been knitting a few months. I'm currently on my second pair of hose. The answers to the questions about "favorite" really mean "what I've used so far", but I can't say if they'll be my favorite once I try others.

My first set of hose is from a self-made pattern. The second set uses the cuff from the www.knitty.com pattern, and I'm making my own pattern for the leg. One of these days I'll post pics...

Hope this helps!
