tell me your secrets ( evil cackle!?!!?!!!!)

The Heatherley at Yarn Yenta pointed out that Jody had suggested a few more questions for people to get to know one another for SP9.
I think I'm getting more nervous as the allocations get nearer, I feel like a SP virgin. I hope I will live up to the SP ethos. Thankyou to the Yarn Yenta for tips on SP ing.

1, favorite knitting spot?
In the car going somewhere that is a long way away. I cant do anything else but sit and knit, (listen to music and eat chocolate.)
Ideally with no kids in the car, but that's unlikely, so with lots to amuze the kids that doesnt need parental supervision.
2, If you could suddenly never knit again - -what would you do instead?
I'm guessing if I couldn't knit I would struggle to crochet, braid and felt so I would have to paint, draw and photograph. Probably plants and stone buildings.

3, If you could travel anywhere in the world- where would you go and why?
morocco/ marrakesh, I've never been, but I imagine the colours and the fabrics and the spices.
I have a vision of hot colours, oranges, reds, burnt siena, yellows.....
Why? well It would be exotic and exciting.

4, when you were little - what did you want to do when you grew up, are you doing it now?
I wanted to be an archaeologist. An Indiana Jones.... I took my dream almost as far as I could.... I got the degree and the MA in Archaeology, and then they told me I could work but they wouldnt pay me ( no money in archaeology).....I specialised in building archaeology ( I love buildings)
I'm now an archivist of photographs for a quarrying company who has the best collection of old industrial photographs. I only work two days a week and do family and textiles the rest of the week.
What do I want to be now... I want to be a textile artist, but dont we all?

5, what is your favorite flavour icecream?
tough one...
I love hagen daz strawberry cheesecake icecream, but my budget doesnt really allow.
I'm very happy with vanilla icecream with chocolate sauce and chocolate sprinkles.


OOhh a correction, I have been reminded that I have a UFO that is definitely more than Four months old , I have some wagon Wheel weaving that is about 16mths old, but it's not knitting so does it count? thank you caged minutes!!!
