Questionnaire for my new swap "SUMMER OF YARN LOVE"

1. I knit

2. I do not spin.

3. I love to knit with cottons and blends. I absolutely cannot stand Lion Brand Homespun

4. My favorite colors are reds, deep blues and jewel-like colors. I do not like orange or black

5. I am dying to try Rowan Denim but that is not practical. I really like and will use washable yarns Like superwashes and stuff. I don't especially like Red Heart acrylic, but Caron supersoft and Reynolds both have very soft Acrylics that I use for Afghans. I love any type of sock yarn and I can handwash socks so it doesn't have to be a superwash.

6. I knit Socks, Afghans and dishcloths.

7. I am knitting a "CABLES and CROWNS" Afghan for my oldest daughter, I have a pair of socks on the needles and one or two dishcloths for my swaps.

8. Favorite thing that I have knitted is the blanket for my Grandson.

9. A pair of socks in "The Red Hat" colorway, purples and reds. Unfortunately I did not realize how much I hate purple and red together until I got halfway through the first sock.

10. I would like to learn to crochet

11.My Ravelry ID is Knitting on 1156

12. Yes I knit socks and I have big feet, I wear a size ten shoe.

13. I collect, birdfeeders, santas, crucifixes, knitting notions and Heartwood Creek Figurines.

14. I do not have a winder or a swift but I really need them. They were on my Xmas list but Santa didn't bring them. I must've have been a bad girl.

15.I love Dove milk chocolate with caramel

16.I love clean, crisp scents. No fruity odors please.

17.I keep my needles in a dresser drawer.

18. I do have a wish list on Amazon under Deborah Wilson.

19.My Birthday is in November

20.I have no allergies.

Exchange from Dawn in Washington

Exchange from Marnie in British Columbia, Canada

Gypsy, our dog. She is the reason we ended our vacation early.


Gypsy got away from the kennel help and they couldn't find her. She was missing from Saturday night to Wednesday morning. We got the message Tuesday morning and immediately loaded up and drove back. I found her in an empty lot on 3rd street in Jacksboro on Wednesday morning. It was a very happy reunion!
