I've been remiss in posting the answers to these questions on the blog because until I checked my secret pal's site, I had no idea that I was supposed to! Can you tell I'm new at this! Thank God I saw my pal's site cause she doesn't like self striping yarn and I was going to send her some of that! Whoops!
Here goes:
Your favorite colors? purple, blue, pink, bright green (no limey crap)
Preferred yarn weight (Fingering, Sport, DK, maybe even Worsted)? I would say for socks definitely fingering
Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn? multicolored
If your buddy is able to do so, would you like a variegated, self-striping, or self-patterning yarn? variegated would be cool, really I don't care, cause I'm a yarn slut and will take anything (though anything is not meant to mean "red heart" :)
Would you be interested in a wool blend sock yarn (nylon, tencel, silk, acrylic, alpaca, etc.)? whatever
Imagine the perfect colorway. What would you name it? My daughter's eyes
What was the biggest appeal to you for joining this dye-along? like the secret pal idea and love the excuse to dye yarn!
General yarn/fiber questions:
Have you dyed yarn/fiber before? yes, only once
If so, whatÂ’s your favorite dye and method? not sure yet as it was only once
Do you spin? not yet (I still enjoy spending time with my family)
Have you knit socks before? yah, you betcha
Do you use sock yarn for just socks or in other patterns too? other patterns too (see the Chevron scarf)

What yarn do you totally covet? amazing cashmere
Favorite patterns? hmmmm, anything I can knit?
Any pattern you would love to make if money and time were no object? in wrap style (I believe) there's that cashmere shawl poncho thing, to die for
Favorite kind of needles (brand, materials, straights or circs, etc)? like circs best, and i admit, yes, the addi's do make you knit faster
If you were a specific kind of yarn, which brand and kind of yarn would you be? I'd probably be Koigu
Nothing to do with knitting/yarn/fiber in any way but seemed kinda fun:
