 Questions: for Pacasha!
1. When did you start reading the HP books. (audio books included) 2. What book is your fave and why? 3. How’d you find the HPKCHC? 4. What is your Roll in HPKCHC? 5. How’d you get into WROCK and do you have a fave group? 
Shop Questions 1. How’d you start? 2. can you share your dyeing process or is that secret? 3. what does a typical week of work look like for you? 4. what’s this new special thing you have with Shayla Myst’s Alina Shea? (the yarn/roving called P.S.) 5. what’s your favorite base to work with? 6. how do you come up with the names or is that part of the inspiration? 


Q's from our listeners... is she a LotR fan and if so, who’s her favorite hobbit? Oh and I’d like to know who her favorite Dr Who companion is and why!  I want to know where she gets her fiber? and what is her favorite dye method? also, does she have a crapton of extra fiber in her basement? “what’s your favorite animal? do you have any pets?” how she feels about the usage of skiving snackboxes and other Weasley paraphernalia. Where she stand on House Elf rights? Or if she can give us hints on upcoming things she’d like to do? What’s your favorite number?!
