Do you knit? Crochet?
Both, but primarily knit (except when I did Granddaughter socks which had both)
Magic Loop, two circulars, or dpns?
Once, only dpns but now am addicted to Magic Loop or 2 at a time on one needle
Toe up or top down?
Have only done top down, but keep promising myself that I will try toe up!
What is your favorite sock yarn?
Hard to say, I like and buy them all! Regia (which I started with), Sockotta for summer, Big Mexico (which I think is discontinued).
What is your favorite color/s?
Earth tones primarily, greens and yellows.
And your least favorite color/s?
Really don't have a dislike. Like mixtures, even strange ones!
Any books, yarns, needles, accessories or patterns out there you are desperate to get your hands on?
Can't have enough of any of the above! Long 40-47" circulars are my current "must have". Like Knit Picks circs particularly. Would love to have a WPI wooden measure (I'm a spinner so should have one but never get around to buying one). Tape measures! Always loosing them or my cat chews them to bits.
Is there anything that you collect?
Vintage buttons. Who knows why, as I never seem to complete the planned for cardigan or jacket.
Coffee, Tea, or Cocoa? Bags or loose?
Coffee! The darker the better.
Sweet or savory?
Both in succession.
Do you like candles/bath stuff?
Not a real candle person but hand creams are great or herbal anything.
What’s your favorite scent(s)?
Lavender, rosemary, herbals. Nothing flowery or fruity.
Any allergies (food, fibers, scents, animals, smoke, etc)?
None. Does that make me normal or abnormal?
Do you have pets?
2 dogs (bearded collies) and 3 cats
Do you or does anyone in your household smoke?
No.
Anything else that your swap partner should know about you?
I'm open to anything fiber, especially dealing with socks or sock yarn. I am a spinner and a member of a fiber co-op.
