I would be curious to know more about some of the knitpicks yarns and how they compare to yarn sold at Michaels.

Which is your favourite color for yarns? And who is your favorite indy dyer (other than yourself) for purchasing yarns? Always purple ~ yarnaceous yarn 

Have you had an opportunity to teach someone in your family or friends/ neighbours, how to knit and/or crochet? Have they caught the addiction fo craft from you?
