Vee's Handmade Item Swap Questionnaire.
What kind of items are you interested in receiving?
Socks, gloves, legwarmers, a muff. Anything is good though I have dreads so a hat would have to be pretty big.
Do you knit, crochet, or both?
Knit.
What is your favourite colour?
I like blues, reds, purples, greens-but not all at once.
What is your least favourite colour?
Orange.
What’s your style? (elegant, traditional, glamourous, girly, natural, sporty, outgoing, etc.)
Bit of a hippy, tend to be a mixture of fun but functional and always stripey.
Do you have a favourite type of fiber or brand of yarn?
Alpaca or anything super soft.
Do you have a least favourite type of yarn?
Not really an eyelash or glittery fan.
Do you do any other crafts?
I do a bit of sewing and making odd presents here and there.
Are there any knitting accessories you are interested in receiving?
I still have gaps in my collection of needles...
What do you like to eat?
Dark choc is my main vice but I do love pic 'n' mix sweeties.
Any allergies/preferences (fiber-wise or treat-wise)?
No not really. Though I'm still boycotting Cadbury's for closing their Keynsham factory.
Anything we missed that you’d like your partner to know?
Umm I don't think so but they can email me any other questions.
Yaaaaaay! Swap on.

My package arrived!
by kingofthefrogs
it was an exciting moment, coming downstairs this morning to find my package waiting for me! My mum and sister watched in bemusement as I photographed it and then unwrapped all the little parcels inside! Once I was done it looked like this:
There were lots of lovely goodies inside, based off my picture being of the sea, and very cleverly, my posts on ravelry boards!
Fibre-wise there was a skein of Cherry Hill sock yarn, in a lovely bluey greeney colourway, some sari silk threads for spinning, and a bundle of combed merino tops in sea green and turqoise with a sandy colour in there too! very sea-y! There was also a book of crochet hat patterns and two sets of gorgeous ceramic buttons - one with tall sailing ships on (i'm going sailing on a tall ship next week!) and one with seahorses on :-)
Then came the treats! A "Big Blue" bath ballistic from Lush - it has sea salt and seaweed in it! Some posh chocolate with orangey bits in, as well as a chocolate orange and some mini chocolate bars and gummy sweets :-D
And the bit that made me giggle: a Dr. Who shiny pencil case with a Dalek on it!! Inside that is a Dr. Who pen and pencil, a ruler that says EXTERMINATE on it, and a rubber with the face of Dalek Sek on it. Over the course of the swap Tiggerbee and me were exchanging emails on the various developments in the sci fi programmes we watch, so this will be a lovely reminder of my swap pal, as well as being a handy thing to take to lectures!
Yaay! Thanks again Tiggerbee, I'll definitely be participating in a swap in the future! Now I just have to finish off my package and sent it :-)
