1) Plaisir des yeux - Tes vues, paysages ou lectures préférées ? Couleurs, livres, films ?
I really love reading, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and movies. Since I travel a lot, I watch a lot of movies on long flights. I don’t really watch or listen to knitting podcasts. Perhaps because there are so many that I feel like I can’t choose between them. I read every night.

2) À fleur de peau - Qu'aimes-tu sentir/toucher le plus ?
I like the feel of yarn; yarn that is soft but also yarn that is rough. And of flour. I like to bake but don’t do it as much as I used to when I had kids living at home. I still make scones about once a week.

3) Balance - Qu'est-ce qui t'apporte l'équilibre dans ta vie ?
My family, knitting, and having a routine. Since I am retired from graphic design, I have all the time in the world. I seem to have a routine, after getting up and dressing, I answer emails, pay bills, and try to write patterns. Pattern writing is becoming a chore for me so I have to force myself to do this part. I try and take a walk/be outside for at least an hour a day and I try to clean up some corner of my house. I have tons of yarn, tons of books, tons of papers, tons of stuff left by my two daughters, so I am gradually getting rid of it (but it’s really hard for me).

4) Nuage de senteurs - Parfum préféré, arôme, odeurs ?
I really like the smell of something baking; chocolate chip cookies, apple pie, or cinnamom rolls

5) Délices - Goûts, saveurs ou plats préférés ?
I love pasta. I really like curries, sushi, and Italian food.

6) Festin pour les oreilles - Chansons, sons et bruits préférés… ?
I like folk ballads, bluegrass Irish fiddle, and classical music.
