HSKS 12 favorite things

A few of my favorite things

I am not a picky person. I just like to be surprised and to get things that make me smile. I hope this helps my spoiler.


* Knit or crochet or both?
I have been crocheting for two years now and I just finished my first knitting project. I can knit and purl and that is it for now. I would like to learn how to knit in the round on circular needles as my next goal for knitting. I love crocheting just about anything.

* Brands you would like to try but don't have easy access to
I am not too picky on brands because I don't really know too many. Knitpicks.com has been my best friend lately. Everyone keeps talking about Malabrigo, so that could be fun to try.

* Favorite fibers/least favorite fibers
I love soft fibers. I don't have any particular favorites, but I love trying new blends.

* Favorite colors/least favorite colors
My most favorite colors are all shades of purple and blue, but I love all colors.

* Yarn weight preferences
I don't have any preferences to weight but I do ask that you send a pattern with it. I am horrible at making choices for patterns for the yarn I have lying around.

* Favorite projects
I enjoy making scarves and bags, but I like trying new patterns for different things. I love making earrings and other jewelry. I am always open to trying new crafts. I think I am finally going to break down and buy a sewing machine, because I have been thinking about sewing alot!

* Favorite designers
Ann Kingstone, but I have a long way to go before I can do her designs. I love being introduced to new designers. Surprise me!

* Salty or Sweet or...?
I love it all except licorice flavors and I am not that big into candy. I love chocolate, trail mix, and well more chocolate. My favorite things that I cannot get here are starcrunches.

* Tea or Coffee or...?
I love fruit teas and hot chocolate (not the mix with water kind). Italy spoiled me with rich creamy hot chocolate.

* Allergies
I don’t have any, but my hubby and my son are allergic to cats.

* Other things you like, i.e., buttons, pens, fabric, stitchmarkers, etc.
Fun buttons and beads are always useful. The only bead shopping I do is online, so I love getting new beads and other jewelry supplies. I love notebooks and journals. I love reading, cooking, photography, dancing, and playing games with my family.
