lapoli

I'm a late 20s day spa manager by day.. cooking extraordinaire and knitter by evening. I like recycled materials, reusable materials, anything earth friendly, sustainable or green. My favorite colors are green, brown, followed by mustard yellow and cream.

I knit, spin, handpaint fiber, make bath and body products, soy candles.

I am vegetarian!

What I Could Make For You: almost anything knitted - scarves, hats, mittens, gloves, socks, etc. handspun yarn, hand painted wool, mp soap

What I'd Like to Receive: i am open to your ideas. i think the most important thing is to love what you make.

Things I Love: birds, elephants, green, buttons, coffee, butterscotch, anything with gnomes, ferns, vanilla, lavender, candles, trees, organic and sustainable things, recycled materials, a giant box of wool delivered to the front door...
