DestiKNITters, you know what the third Wednesday of each month brings: a reader! Meet Cindy Regnier, a fellow lover of books and yarn.
Cindy, ware you crocheting right now?
A cardigan sweater. I am so excited to see it finished.
What feels like your favorite crochet accomplishment?
The year I made crochet projects for my three kids at Christmas.
What feels like the worst crochet mistake/foible/wrong choice you’ve ever made?
My son asked for a slouchy beanie hat. I found a great pattern, but was in a hurry to get started so I used a hook that was too big. Result: weird looking hat, but he loved it. Said it was something no one else had.
Do you have a favorite stitch?
Not really. What I enjoy is a project that uses a variety of stitches. A textured afghan I made for my DIL used some new stitches I’d never done before.
Metal or wood needles?
I have always used metal hooks (and knitting needles), but I’m not opposed to trying new materials.
White chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate?
I’m a dark chocolate girl.
Coffee or tea?
Um that’s hard. I guess I’d say tea since I drink iced tea all day. I do like a good cup of coffee in the morning.
What’’s your favorite Allie novel?
That’s a tough one because they’re all great! I would choose The Texas Rancher’s Return as my favorite because I absolutely fell in love with Gunner. I love the entire Blue Thorn Ranch Series.
What are you reading now?
A new novel by Erica Vetsch called My Heart Belongs in Fort Bliss, Texas.
Do you have a favorite crochet/knitting character from a book, movie, or television show?
That would be Laura Ingalls Wilder. I love all the Little House books and the mention of Laura knitting lace for a petticoat during The Long Winter is what comes to mind. I believe Laura gave that lace to her sister Mary as a gift.
Give a shout out to your favorite local yarn store.
I stole this one from my sister-in-law as I usually order yarn online, but it is close by and a great store:
