Christmas Around The World Swap Questions

No, though I was raised to be and still respect those who are.
How long have you been knitting? Would you consider yourself a Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced?
I've been knitting since childhood but only seriously for about 5 years now. Intermediate.
Do you have any other hobbies besides knitting?
I bead a little, keep a diary, make paper doll clothes.
Favorite color(s)?
Purple/blue/red family. The richer the better.

Nope. Thank goodness.

I think it's so cool that you make paper doll clothes! I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to play with paper dolls!
