*No, I’m not crazy and think counting starts with #5. I just cut the first 4 questions off because it is identifying information that I wouldn’t want on my blog for all to see, not to mention my swap partner should have those details in the email sent by our hostess.
5. Handmade item you desire in the swap (bag, cup cozy, etc.): A bag if the choice is just between a cup cozy and a bag, but if you want to knit me something different (a dishcloth, scarf, or something else then that’s fine).
6. Starbucks item you desire (gift card, mug, beans, etc.): Mug or gift card (either is fine).
7. Favorite Starbucks beverage/bean: I always order the same thing, grande vanilla latte (hot)
8. Favorite snack food: peanut M&Ms, Laffy Taffy (banana, strawberry), animal crackers (but I’m picky about the brand and I only know the name of it when I see it).
9. Favorite color(s): blue, orange, brown, pink, green - I like a lot of different colors, but I’m not a big fan of pastels and neon bright colors.
10. Favorite fragrance: white musk, fruity stuff like mango, sweet pea. Nothing spicy, no cherry, no cinnamon please.
11. What types of things do you like to knit? Socks, sweaters, scarves, lots of stuff.
12. Do you spin?: No.
13. Do you dye your own yarn?: Yes, but I haven’t had time lately.
14. Favorite yarns: BMFA Socks that Rock, Koigu KPPPM, anything soft and squooshy, Malabrigo. I’m not a big fan of boucle yarn, fun fur or anything like that. I can handle acrylic if it’s nice and soft, and cotton if it’s blended with something.
15. Favorite needles: I can only use metal or sturdy (i.e. not Bryflex) needles. I am looking to start Magic Loop so I need longer circs in small sizes such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 30-40” long.
16. Do you have any allergies?: Seafood.
17. Would you be willing to prepare an angel kit if necessary?: Sure.
18. Do you have any special requests?: I don’t think there’s anything not included in this questionnaire.
19. Do you have any pets?: No
20. Is your home smoking or nonsmoking?: Nonsmoking.
