Blog Tag

Okay, so I wasn't actually tagged, but I really like the questions that Vanegatiss asked on her blog. I learned so much about her and really liked the questions she chose for others. She asked the following questions and I think they are such a wonderful way to get to know someone, so I'm going to answer these and pass them on to anyone who reads my blog (You are tagged - send me a note in the comments to let me know you have answered and then you make up 11 other questions and tag someone else.

mes 11 questions:

..•.¸¸•´¯`•.¸¸.ஐ

1) Ton film préféré?
My favorite film (at the moment) is probably Rear Window or maybe To Kill a Mockingbird
2) Ton premier ouvrage au tricot?
I'm not sure if this asks what my first knitting book (work) is or first piece is - but I don't remember either! The first thing I ever knit is so long ago I can't remember it - probably a potholder. My first book was probably The Vogue Book of Knitting or the The Dover book of Needlework. The thing I most like to knit is shawls and my favorite one that I knit has been Vampire Whine by MMario. That's pretty much everything about me and knitting in a nutshell!
3) Ta couleur préférée?
Right now my favorite color is deep purple.

4) Thé, café ou chocolat?
It depends - I used to be a tea girl and now I'm definitely a coffee gal!
5) Quelle est ta principal qualité?
I hope it is creativity. (smile) I am very analytical too and that might be what others notice.
6) Ton chiffre porte bonheur? 169.
7) À quelle époque aurais-tu aimé vivre?
I prefer to live in my own epoch, because women have not always been treated so well over the years, but of course if I were wealthy I think it would be fascinating to live in 1920s and 30s Paris. Victorian dresses were awfully pretty too - but I doubt I could live in them!
8) As-tu une préférence pour un peintre?
I adore the work of Franz Marc. I think it would be great to have a Modigliani or a Matisse portrait!
9) Quel est ton meilleur souvenir de voyage?
My favorite memory of a trip is difficult - It was probably seeing the temple ruins in Palenque with my family (even though I was a rebellious teenager and didn't want to be seen in the presence of my family!)


More recently I think it was probably climbing a tall temple in Thailand, or being invited into the home of a wonderful older village woman for tea in Japan.
10) Quelle saison de l'année?
Autumn.
11) Une photo que tu aimes?

At the moment I love this photo by Robert Doisneau. If this is to be a photo that I have taken, then here's my current favorite (taken on an outing with my sister.)
