SUMMER OF YARN LOVE SWAP QUESTIONNAIRE

1. I HAVE BEEN KNITTING FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND CROCHETING FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

2. I HAVE NOT TRIED SPINNING YET - TOO MANY KNITTING /CROCHET PROJECTS TO TRY FIRST!

3. LIKE TO KNIT WITH SOFT YARNS!  DISLIKE LOPI AND OTHER SCRATCHY YARNS.  USE NOVELTY YARNS AS ACCENTS 

4. LOVE PURPLE AND OTHER JEWEL TONES, AM OPEN TO MOST COLORS.  LEAST FAVS ARE ORANGE AND YELLOW.

5. NOTHING SPECIAL ON MY WISH LIST FOR YARNS.  

6. I KNIT/CROCHET MOSTLY SMALLER PROJECTS - HATS,  SCARFS,  SOCKS, LEGWARMERS,  PURSES,  DISHCLOTHS, TOYS.  NEVER SEEM TO FINISH SWEATERS BEFORE KIDS OUTGROW THEM!  I KNIT SMALL AFGHANS FOR MY GRANDKIDS ALSO.  LIKE TO MAKE PROJECTS I CAN CARRY ALONG AND WORK ON ANYWHERE.

7.  CURRENTLY WORKING ON LEGWARMERS FOR GRANDDAUGHTERS, AFGHAN FOR DAUGHTER, RED SOX SCARF, PAY IT FORWARD GIFTS, CHERRY HILL WRAP.

8.  FAVORITE FINISHED OBJECT - ANY OF THE BABY BLANKETS I HAVE MADE FROM VELVET TOUCH.  I LOVE WORKING WITH THAT YARN AND LOVE MAKING BABY GIFTS OR GIFTS FOR MY GRANDKIDS.

9.  AN AFGHAN I STARTED FROM WINTUK YARN,  (RED, WHITE AND BLUE) FOR MY SON IN 1976  IS MY OLDEST UFO.  I WILL TRY TO POST A PICTURE IN THE NEXT POST.  IT WAS A PATTERN I DESIGNED AND LOOKS NICE FROM THE FRONT BUT IS A GRANNY SQUARE PATTERN WITH A TON OF LOOSE ENDS TO BE WORKED IN.  MAYBE I SHOULD FINISH IT FOR BIRTHDAY THIS JULY!

10.  I WOULD LIKE TO TRY LACE SOMETIME - A SMALL PROJECT LIKE A SCARF.

11.  NOT ON RAVELRY YET

12. I HAVE KNITTED SOCKS AND AM GOING TO KNIT MORE.  JUST GOT THE PATTERN TO MAKE PEDICURE SOCKS - LOOK LIKE FUN.  I WEAR A SIZE 8W SHOE.

13.  I COLLECT LIGHTHOUSES AND HAVE STARTED COLLECTING SMALL SNOWGLOBES.

14.  I DO HAVE A YARN WINDER BUT NO SWIFT.  THE YARN WINDER IS STILL IN THE BOX- NEED TO GET IT OUR AND PUT IT TO WORK!

15.  LOVE SWEETS BUT TRY TO LIMIT THEM FOR HEALTH REASONS.  DO STILL HAVE THEM ESP DARK CHOCOLATE BUT IN SMALL DOSES.

16.  I LIKE OCEAN SCENTS, VANILLA, APPLE, LIGHT FLORALS

DISLIKE CITRUS SCENTS

17.  MY NEEDLES AND HOOKS ARE EVERYWHERE.   I HAVE SOME NEW ORGANIZERS I AM USING WHICH WORK PRETTY WELL.   THEY ARE CALLED SNAPWARE AND SNAP/STACK TOGETHER.    ALSO HAVE NEEDLE CASES AND LOTS OF  OTHER CONTAINERS.

18.  I HAVE AN AMAZON WISH LIST AND AN ETSY FAVORITE SELLERS LIST.

19. BIRTHDAY IS JULY 18TH.

20.  NO ALLERGIES.
