10 questions answered-what's your answers?

Hi my happy crafter friends! I caught a summer cold and have been down a few days. The up side, my 4 legged babies loved me being at home! I completed another 7 days of dishcloths. I also cast-on a sock! Yes teaching myself to knit and I am so proud of this sock so far. I am using a Raverly pattern called Vanilla Latte Socks. It was a free pattern and was recommended by Kay Jones of Bakery Bears. It looks really bad as far as knitting goes, but to me, it’s a thing of beauty! I am just jumping up and down doing a happy dance about this sock! Meanwhile back to the starship Cindy… while listening to youtube, catcrazycreations started this tag. I thought it was pretty neat and I will try to answer the questions. I am really interested in anyone commenting back with their own answers! So join right in and thank you catcrazycratons!
