  Knit Mitt Kit Swap
So I can't resist mittens. I love knitting them (minus the thumb) but keep selling the ones I make. I am wearing mittens that are two years old, people! Mittens (and a hat) which I never even wove in the ends to. Tsk tsk.

Anyhow, some questions:

The Questionnaire:
Are you allergic to any fibers? I am not into fuzzy fibers like mohair/angora... they make my nose tickle.

What are your favorite colors? Lately I've liked pinks and oranges, but browns have been calling for fall!

Are you a new mitt knitter? How long have you been knitting mittens? A few years, I guess?

Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn? Either or. I might wear solids more, but stripes would be neat!

What fibers do you prefer in mitten yarn? Soft wool. Merino, corriedale, BFL, whatever.

Where do you usually knit mittens? Um? all over the place, actually. Fit well in my purse!

How do you usually carry/store small projects? Jammed in said purse.

What are your favorite mitten patterns? No idea... it's in my head. But the one in Weekend Knitting is fun.

What are your favorite mitten knitting techniques? There are techniques? I am a plain jane knitter.. I think DC doesn't get cold enough for thrummed mittens, though I'll try that soon. Fair isle looks neat- also on my list.

What new techniques would you like to try? Oh. Um... fair isle, thrumming.

What are your favorite needles for knitting mittens? bamboo dpns

What are some of your favorite yarns? merino handspun! :) I looooove merino.

What yarn do you totally covet? Meh. I'm not a big coveter.

Any pattern you would love to make if money and time were no object? I've been eyeing the squirrel mittens from Hello Yarn.

Favorite kind of needles (brand, materials, straights or circs, etc)? I use mainly bamboo. Clover.

If you were a specific kind of yarn, which brand and kind of yarn would you be? Eh. Maybe koigu? Great colors. I'd be something merino for sure.

Do you have a favorite candy or mail-able snack? Dark dark chocolate. Can't go wrong

What’s your favorite animal? Nah.

Would you prefer super warm mittens or something more like fingerless mitts? Full mittens are great.

If you were a color what color would you be? Rainbow colored. hah.

What is your most inspiring image, flower, or object in nature? This is getting all touchy feely! We used lilies on our wedding invites, and as table settings. I love them!

Do you have a wishlist? Yep.

Anything else you’d like to share with the group today?

You know that's not the actual link to your wishlist. If you look around somewhere while in your wishlist, you'll see something on the left hand side that will allow you to see the real link!

I'm working on your bag, but no peeking until after Christmas.
 
Eek! My bad... I'll fix it at home, but here it is:
