1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer high- a nd/natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?
not a huge fan of novelty yarn but acrylics are good for baby stuffs and as long as it's still super soft and squishy, i say "bring it on!"

2. Do you spin? Crochet?
bought myself a learn to spin kit awhile back but still haven't had the time to really learn it. crochet skills are less than stellar.

about a year

5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
uh yeah, it's large.

photography (not really a craft but oh well)
