Knitter, Mom, Massage Therapist, Inventor, Dreamer

I knit obsessively and am currently writing a knitting book. (I know, I know, who isn't??)

I love chocolate and anything sweet. I need to exercise more, too. (Imagine that!)

I read a lot and favor scary/thriller type books. I am also currently enamored of Christopher Moore. His book Lamb was hysterical!

Anything but techno.

I love classic rock and music from the 80's. And disco. And country. Oh, oh! and alternative rock. The blues. Love the blues. See, I like different stuff.

I'm not that into jazz or really obscure stuff.

The Philadelphia Story, The Princess Bride, The Usual Suspects, Gross Pointe Blank. (I don't have DVD's of any of them!) Too many to list, I watch a LOT of movies.

Lost, The Rachel Ray Show, Heroes, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents (the black and white ones, not the ones from the 80's)

Knitting, Crochet

I'm crazy over hand-dyed yarn. My current favorites are Fearless Fibers and the Plucky Knitter over at etsy.com

I prefer natural fibers but am not opposed to other types. I am, however, absolutely done with the whole novelty, fluffy, eyelashy yarn thing.

Favorites:

Color - Red (although most of my clothes are blue and green). I prefer jewel tones. I don't like pastels. If dark chocolate brown is mixed with one pale color (pink, lt. blue or lavender) - that's a pastel I can appreciate! I'm not a big fan of purples, oranges or yellows but I'm not vehemently opposed to them either! (Vague, much??)

Season - Spring

Scents - anything citrusy. I especially like Grapefruit scent. I'm not crazy about anything really overpowering. Light, fresh scents are good.

Food - I'll eat just about anything. I'm a sugar junky and prefer milk or dark cholcolate over white. The only thing I can think of that I don't like is asian snacks (I find those sesame snacks and rice cracker snacks gross!).

My Wish List:

Any knitting notions: small tape measures, stitch markers, gauge check thingies

I love unique T-shirts. I like the feminine, fitted kind but size XL or XXL. I like them fitted but not tight. Not crazy about the big, sloppy boy T-shirt look, y'know?

Chococat anything!

Anything from Etsy.com. Favorite Etsy stores: photoglassworks sweetheartsinner pabloalto goodsoapworks brown bag soaps fearless fibers the plucky knitter maui yarns MaryMo annejulie

My Dream Wish List:

First Edition Copy of "Lamb" by Christopher Moore

Dislikes:

Religious Items

I do NOT knit baby stuff

I don't use candles

I don't use make-up. Unless you consider lip balm to be make-up. I also don't use perfume.

I'm not crazy about anything really girly. Feminine is fine, frills and hearts set my teeth on edge.
