These Are Some of My Favorite Things: May 2009

A Little Bit More...

Yarn

I am open to all kinds of yarn fibers except for the cutesy Angora bunny. Sadly, I'm allergic to it. I also use all weights of yarn. I have way too many projects that I would like to do, so it will eventually get used. I do tend to prefer either fingering (for socks) or worsted weights though.

Knitting Needles

* My favorites are the Knit Picks Harmony 5" needles for DPN or circulars. I just absolutely love them.

* Wood needles work best for me as I tarnish the metal ones way too easily with my skin, which I find quite odd.

* I also have found that I would rather knit on circulars or DPNs (for practically everything) rather than using straight needles. Even the shortest straights still feel cumbersome to me.

Colors

I love black, grey, greens, blues, and reds. I tend to stay away from yellow, pink, white, purple, and orange due to the cool color of my skin tone.

Food

*I am not a fan of teas. I tend to favor going to the coffee house for my caffeine fix rather than brewing at home. A pot of coffee is way too much for me to drink.

* Chocolate and nut combined candy is one of my favorites. I also love fruity tastes over any sort of mint. Please no cinnamon or peach (darn pesky food allergies).
