3. What do you spin with (spindle/wheel/both)? Wheel, but I can spindle
4. What are your favorite fibers to spin with (type, brand, etc)? Anything you don't like? I have done silk, but mostly wool. I have done bits of bamboo, camel, alpaca in my spinning class.
5. Who are your favorite crack dealers fiber sources (etsy or otherwise)? I haven't ordered anything on line. I have gotten my fibers in person at a LYS in Austin on trips there and at the Kidd N Ewe annual fiber festival.
6. What kind of fiber do you want to try? Everything LOL
7. Is there any techniques you would like to learn? I have done Spinning 101 and 201 at a LYS in Austin. Don't know about other techniques that are any different than what I've learned.
8. Do you dye fiber? If not, would you like to learn? I dyed my first lot of fibre at the Kidd N Ewe that was silk. Much fun!
9. Do you have fiber prep tools (and like to use them) or would you prefer ready to spin fiber? I have some old cotton carders that I learned to blend fibers/colors. I have bought some "dog" combs to use for combing. Ready to spin is easier though. I have gotten a bunch of raw mohair, but haven't
10. What do you do with your handspun? What projects have you completed? Scribble lace with my handspun silk as the "thin" yarn.
11. Are you in need of any spinning gadgets (WPI Gauge, threading hook, etc)? Do not have a wpi gauge .
12. What colors "fall into your shopping basket"? Purple, Black, Red's earth colors. Don't really like Hot pinks, lime greens, etc.

Toy patterns by Alan Dart (the dragon is the cutest thing), from my Ravelry you can see I already have a big library and I have some that I can't list becuase they aren't on their list. I buy Spin Off at the store.
19. When is your birthday? August 29th
20. What book or movie character do you most resemble in personality? I have no idea. Husband agreed that it would be Scarlet O'hara. LOL. I have a mind of my own and do as I want, LOL.
