secret pal questionnaire/radiohead covers the smiths!

(A little late on the questionnaire - which I have mooched from Bunnysquirrel and LittleWit!)

Crafts: I knit, crochet, spin, sew, cook, and scrapbook. I don't have a spinning wheel but I love my drop spindles very, very much.  I don't have any magazine subscriptions; I usually buy Interweave, and I'm very intrigued by Spin Off.  I love working with wool and alpaca in knitting and spinning, even though I live in LA and it really is warm.  I haven't spun silk but it intrigues me. 

Colors: I like greeny blues, bluey greens, and earth tones, but happy bright colors make me smile, too.  I think my stash gives a good idea of the colors I like.  When in doubt... teal. 

Allergies/Food:  No allergies that I know of.... I don't like white chocolate though.  The darker and more bitter, the better.  I like tea and I love coffee - always strong, black coffee.  I don't mess around with flavors and sugar and cream...

Aside from knitting/fiber related things:  I listen to a lot of music (my taste in music is all over the place, and it often involves a good banjo pickin').  Also, as I mentioned before, I cook and I scrapbook.  I read a lot of non-fiction history - women's history and American history are my favorite genres.  I watch a ton of movies and will watch the same ones over and over... and over.

Future Crafts:  I used to play with fabric dyeing in high school (I had a whole batiking setup and everything) but I haven't done that in years - I just don't have the space or a good bathroom setup (vintage charming tiny sink).  Someday I'll probably get into it again, but for now it stresses me out to think of the cleanup.  I guess that's not really helpful at all... sorry!  Right now, the knitting, spinning, and sewing are keeping me plenty busy and I'm learning a lot.

Thanks!! 

And because I don't have a good photo for this questionnaire, and I want to be able to see this video whenever I want, I give you a video of Radiohead doing a Smiths cover. This is just... words fail me... I'm freaking out... I love it.

I always end up enjoying these meme-esque posts - I learn so much about even my close friends. I want to dye yarn, so you have to come over and help me use the outdoor sink!

Hee hee. I just joined both the Smiths and Radiohead groups on Ravelry and saw that you had joined them too. Great minds think alike.

And I blogged the Ceremony cover!
