I'm back. And for a meme!

Here are the answers to Dan's interview  questions:

1) If you could download expertise directly into your brain, what entirely new skill would you most like to have?

Do I have to pick just one? It's a toss-up between singing and sewing. Sure, I can sew a little, but there's a crapload of sewing knowledge I don't have.

2) If money and family obligations were no obstacle, where outside the US would you most like to spend a year living?

If money were no obstacle, I'd like to spend a year living in Europe. All of it. I'd travel all over. I've been to several European countries and I love them, so I would at least be happy in a few places. I want to go pretty much everywhere, but since there are so many places I haven't been to yet, I don't know if I'd be happy there for an entire year.

3) If you were running a yarn store, what would you do to make it most appealing and useful to the kind of knitters you'd want as clientele?

Wow...good question. I feel like I need to lay out a business plan for you. ;) I would carry lots of yummy yarn, as well as good quality, inexpensive staples. I would create an non-judgemental atmostphere for asking questions, and make sure nobody felt like they were walking into a clique when they came into my store. (That's a big problem in a lot of places.) I would also want to have a space big enough to hold classes/knitalongs so people could move around and not feel like they were sitting in a shoebox.

And last but not least, my yarn store would be way more punk rock than old lady.

4) You have the space and the budget to set up your dream workshop for home improvement projects. What's in it?

A designer, a boatlad of money, and several carpenters/craftspeople

5) Your taste in reading covers a broad range of material. What style/type/subgenre of fiction do you read that you wish there was more of in the world?

Modern urban witch-type stuff
