I sent off a welcoming message to the pal assigned to me, and then noticed that she was really on top of things and had already posted these answers ..... here's mine:
What are your favorite colors?
Green, purple and blue.
Are you a new sock knitter?
No
How long have you been knitting socks?
made my first pair 30 years ago, but inconsistent; intermediate sock knitter

No preference
What fibers do you prefer in sock yarn?
Wool
Where do you usually knit socks?
On the go
How do you usually carry/store small projects?
I currently use two small bags that zip closed
What are your favorite sock knitting patterns?
Top down and intuitive enough not to have to read the pattern all the time.

Using two circs.
What new techniques would you like to try?
I just switched to two circs and am totally happy with it.
Do you prefer circulars or dpns for sock knitting?
Circs
What are some of your favorite yarns?
Unique yarns from small growers and dyers
Sport weight is ok too, as I hike a lot and its cold here in winter
What yarn do you totally covet?
I just discovered Plain and Fancy Wool at Estes and totally loved it, but I am very easily pleased.
Any pattern you would love to make if money and time were no object?
Miriam's Eleanora sock, but I knit much looser than most people and would have to use very tiny needles for that.
Favorite kind of needles (brand, materials, straights or circs, etc)?
I am partial to Addi Turbos but also like bamboo
If you were a specific kind of yarn, which brand and kind of yarn would you be?
Alpaca from a remote mountain village

Yes
What are their species/names/ages?
I have five burros: Assteroid (2), April (5), Rose (10), Rita (24), and Louise (27) - yup, they are very long-lived animals! I am searching for one or two dogs to adopt.
If you were a color, what color would you be?
The pale bright green of new leaves in spring.
Describe your favorite shirt (yours or someone else’s).
stumped here
What is your most inspiring image, flower, or object in nature?

yay - you're doing this, too! I also want to make the Eleanora sock. I'm kind of hoping my sock pal will have noticed that in my questionnaire!
