Wish List

Here are some of my favorites / wishes for HSKS9:

Yarn brand and/or fiber choices: I like soft yarns for most things. I use a lot of cotton, natural fibers / blends in my projects but I would also like to use new and/or more "exotic" yarns. Pretty much anything from a LYS would be new to me, aside from cascade 220. I do not like novelty yarns unless I'm using them for a very specific project (like the hedgehog I knit for my hubby this summer).

Hook/needle loves: I have a set of Denise's interchangable needles but I could use smaller sizes. I like the steel addi turbos and also bamboo (like the knitpicks harmony needles). I don't have a lot of "nice" crochet hooks. I break the plastic and most aluminum crochet hooks pretty easily :( It would be nice to have a nice crochet hook or two or set.

Snacks, coffee/tea: I love chocolate, but usually in moderation :) I also like fruity snacks (such as gummi bears or craisins). My favorite guilty pleasures are skittles, Milky Way midnight bars, air heads and gummi bears.

Allergies: Only seasonal allergies but avoid smoke please :)

Music: My tastes in music range from country to alternative rock.

Books: I used to read a lot but these days I don't have a ton of time! I like Steven King, James Patterson, Jodi Piccoult and knit lit among others. The last book I read was Julie and Julia and it was amazing :) I try to carry a paperback with me where ever I go but lately I haven't been reading too much.

Patterns: I have some patterns faved on ravelry. I knit a lot of fingerless gloves, scarves and bags (I -love- bags!). I would love to start knitting bigger projects for myself (like a shawl, or a sweater) but I fear large projects! They all usually end up in my stash :(

Scented/unscented items: My favorite scents are lavender vanilla, vanilla, and chocolate.

I hope this helps! I love handmade items since I usually knit for others and not for myself :) I like learning about other parts of the world and country so if you can include something regional in your package that would be awesome (even if its just a postcard).
