International Treat!

I got my Knitter's Treat Exchange package from my Marion, at VARDAKEERUTAMISED all the way from Estonia! Take a look at all of my treats!

She sent me:
A huge hank of Estonian wool in a great colorway (click here for a closeup)
A copy of Filati Handknitting magazine (great summer sweaters!)
An assortment of teas and a bag of cappuccino with a package of cookies
2 chocolate bars: 1 white chocolate w/rice crisp & blueberry pieces & 1 dark chocolate with cherry pieces (YUM!)
Fruittini Ice Mint lip balm and Bourbon Vanilla Smoothie body lotion
A handmade bookmark & earrings

Thank you to my treater, Marion, for all of the wonderful gifts! My thoughts are with you and hope that you stay safe with all of the troubles in your town (read the details on her blog).
Thank you!

Knitters Treat Exchange :: The Questionnaire

I am excited to be a part of this swap! Another questionnaire!
Knitters Treat Exchange Questionnaire
1. What's your favourite type of yarn?
I like all types, but nothing too scratchy. I love the look of hand-dyed yarn in fun colorways.

2. What's your least favourite type of yarn?
Besides acrylic for me personally, I don't like anything too chunky.

3. What's the first thing you do when you visit a new yarn shop?
I like to stop, scan, and breathe in. I like to go in when I can devote a whole chunk of time so that I can wonder around and touch everything, usually at least twice!

4. What other crafts do you do / would like to do?
I do crochet, but mostly baby items. I have just begun to rubber stamp a little bit.

5. What magazines do you currently subscribe to?
I subscribe to Interweave Knits and Vogue Knitting.

6. Put this type of magazine in order of preference:Knitting / Crochet / Other Craft / Food / Home / Fashion / Celebrity Gossip / Garden
Knitting/Crochet/Other Craft/Home/Garden/Food/Celebrity Gossip/Fashion

7. What items do you like to knit / crochet?
I like to knit all kinds of thing, mostly things that require little to no seaming. I like scarves because they are great for trying new techniques and they usually go quickly, plus they're portable. I am such a sucker for a scarf pattern!

8. Are you allergic to anything?
Nope

9. What do you like to* smell of?(*This is not a typo. The question is: What do you like to smell of)
I like vanilla, citrus, and honeysuckle (pretty much anything from Bath & Body Works). I'm not too big on heavy floral scents - I like all of my scents to be light.

10. What's your favourite way to relax?
Usually knitting or crocheting while watching TV or sitting outside on a warm day. I like to play board games w/my 1o yr old son as well.

11. You're stood in front of a Victorian style sweetshop, an Italian cafe, an old fashioned bakery and a dainty tea room. Where do you go first?
Probably the old-fashioned bakery

12. What do you come out with?
Something that's covered in powdered sugar

13. Where do you go next?
The Italian cafe for a cup of coffee to go with above item

14. Any other words of wisdom for your pal?
I am pretty easy to please. I really enjoy knitting with a variety of yarns and patterns. I usually stick to smaller items as I have a short attention span and hate to seam. I like patterns that change so I don't get bored.
