4. I have been crocheting since I was 12, knitting since I was 20. Knitting is by far my favorite.

3. I refuse to eat anything that's artificially blue, like things flavored "blue-raspberry." Bright blue is not a natural food color.

2. I was so afraid of my shadow when I was little that my mom couldn't take me out of the house during daylight.

1. My favorite things, in order, are: golden retrievers, books, and yarn.
