We will be giving away one of Sarah's patterns FREE with August orders*!
1-
When
did you learn to knit and/or crochet and who taught you? I learned to knit and
crochet when I was around 10 years old. I am self-taught, though I occasionally
had to ask my mother for help translating patterns. She neither knits nor
crochets, so she was mostly just moral support. She eventually told me I would
know what the patterns meant better than she would, which actually encouraged
me to take true responsibility for my fiber education.
2-
When/how
did you get into designing? I got into designing through my local yarn shop in
West Palm Beach, Florida, in 2006. The yarn store owner asked me to design a
suite of golf club covers, which are still available for free on Ravelry today.
3-
What is
your favorite fiber/weight yarn to work with? My absolute favorite fiber to
work with is alpaca. I just love it! As far as weight, I don't have a particular
favorite but I do tend to design with fingering a lot.
4-
What
are you designing now (that you can tell us about)? Right at this very moment I
have on the needles a sweater for the September issue of Knit Edge, a new
publication from Cooperative Press. I probably shouldn't say that much about it
but I am going to leak that it features a custom cable designed by me!
Part
2:
1-
What is
your favorite word? Mercy
2-
What is
your lease favorite word? Discrimination
3-
What
turns you on? If we're talking sexually, that's a secret between me and my
husband. ;) If we're talking life, I would say I get excited when I see people
reaching for their full potential, whatever that means for them. (Especially
true during the Olympics!)

5-
What
sound do you love? My husband's custom ring tone sounding on my phone, signaling
that he's off work and headed home.
6-
What
sound do you hate? I'm not particularly fond of the sound my dog makes when he
jumps on the back door to get back inside. He's kind of a brat!
7-
What is
your favorite curse word? Ooh, there are so many juicy ones to pick from! Can't
beat the F word for emphasis, but I also use some creative ones too like
"doublecrad", "blargh" and "Jiminy Cricket".

9-
What
profession would you not like to? My husband is a doctor and I don't think I
could ever go through that much training. They also get beat down emotionally
on a daily basis, which would be hard for me.
1-
If
heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the
pearly gates? "Well done my good and faithful servant, enter into your
rest."
