Post 500: A Bloggy Scavenger Hunt!

Well, here it is, the 500th post on my blog! From my humble beginnings in 2004 (really, really humble.... I just went back and read some of them) to the obsession with socks, and now the present. To celebrate I'm having a little blog scavenger hunt. Leave a comment with the answers. Keep in mind, I'll be leaving these comments screened until the end of the contest, so if you want to say something to the world, make a separate comment. I'll pick the most correct answers for an as-yet-undetermined prize, and if there's a tie I'll draw names. (I promise, it will be nice!) I'll give you til April 4th, that's when I get back from Sock Camp. :)

1. What are my cats' names? (a bonus point for *full* names, another bonus point for linking me to the cutest picture of one or both of them on the blog)
2. Who is my "boyfriend"?
3. What yarn did I use for my first "human-sized" socks?
4. How many adult sweaters have I knit?
5. Why are my Regia Strato socks famous?
6. What luxury fiber do I dislike?
7. How many times have I moved since starting this blog?

your regia strato socks are famous for being knit at the afi miss murder premiere on mtv
i'm going to guess you dislike alpaca
and you've moved 2x since starting the blog.
