I guess I got it right. Here is how I think it translates.

KER++$ : I knit English and right handed. I love to knit but I'm not quite obsessed. I get paid to knit :)

Exp+ : I have been knitting for a few years now, and consider myself an intermediate knitter, at least.

SPM++ : I am not a speed knitter, but I am definately not slow.

Bamboo++
Wood++
Brittany++
Steel-
Plastic- : I knit using bamboo needles and wooden needles. I am trying to collect every size of Brittany needles. I have both steel and plastic needles, but I don't really like them.

Syn+
Cot+
Wool+
Lux>+
Hemp>+ :I have synthetic, cotton, and wool yarn in my stash, and I would like to have cashmere, camel, alpaca, silk, angora, yak, and hemp/organic yarns in my stash.

Stash+>++ : When I spy a terrific yarn bargain, I'm not about to pass it up, so I've got a bit of a stash. I sort through it regularly, and when I start a new project, it's usually out of my stash yarn. I would like to be able to buy moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Scale+ :Thanks to my day job, I mostly concentrate on small projects, but I manage to fit in a sweater a year.

Fin : I hate this part, but you have to do it. I always try to keep it simple, and I weave in ends or sew seams as I go so it isn't so bad at the end.


Tex
Lace
>FI
>Int
>Ent : I do cables, textured knitting, and lace. I want to do fair isle, intarsia, and entrelac.

Flat
Circ
DPN : I knit flat, with circulars, and double pointed needles. 

Swatch : I knit a swatch before I start a project zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

KIP+++ : I knit in public quite often.

Blog+++ : I love my blog :)

SNB+++ : I love my knitting group and meet with them as often as possible

FO++: I have quite a bit of finished objects.

WIP+++ : I always have a ton of projects going on!

Gauge F+W+B+ : I like to knit with fingering, worsted, and bulky weight yarns.

AltCr+++Sw+>Sp : I also know how to crochet(24 years), sew, and I am learning to spin.
