Dog Days Of Summer Dishcloth Swap

Do you knit, or crochet, or do both? How long have you been knitting\crocheting?
I've been crocheting for years, think was junior high that I learned to do basic Granny Square and Mom taught me Hairpin Lace..I'm a new knitter, have only done 1 cloth but do have a 2nd one I must do thanks to Chan's inspiring pattern :)
Have you knit dishcloths or dishtowels before? I've crocheted dishcloths and towels, but have only done 1 knitted cloth so far
What are your favorite cotton yarns? Is there a cotton or linen you’ve been dying to try but have not? Can't say I have a favorite..out here I get what I can get so I've never worked with Linen or any other name brand cottons. Have only worked with Peaches & Cream, Sugar & Cream or Aunt Lillys
Are there any cotton yarns you don’t enjoy knitting with? Not yet
What type of needle do you prefer using? (Metal/Wood/Plastic) Mostly depends on the project..I just recently received wood hooks in a swap but havne't had the chance to try it yet, but sure can't wait! So I guess any of the type hooks would be fine.
What other projects do you enjoy knitting or crocheting? I'm hooked with felting bags, I do make hats, scarves and some toys/games for the grandkids, do want to try and make a knitted bowl from a Swap I received and havent' done yet, I like to crochet and do it sometimes just to see what it looks like..hoping to start on the knitting so I can get better at it, so many pretty patterns out there I want to do.
Do you have other hobbies or enjoy other kinds of crafting? Macrame, scrapbooks, Beading, Plastic Canvas, Sewing, little cross stitch (eyes aren't as good as they use to be). I like to be outside and try to grow desert plants...lol
What kind of treats do you like? Chocolate? Candies? Nuts? Chocolates, but unfortunately I have to ask not to send as it melts into liquid getting here :(
What colors are your kitchen and bath decorated in, if any? Kitchen- leaving it the purple that it is (have too much money wrapped in the Spice Village Collection) Bath- 1- is purple/sage green/mauve, 2- is Black, teal, 3- undecided yet..lol

Please share 3 tidbits about yourself that you think your pal and other swappers might find odd or interesting. I think any of my pals would find me to be an oddball, but a fun one...lol, I'm still somewhat of a perfectionist and thats really hard living out here in the dusty desert..lol, I do love to bake and try to garden some (though think I should give the gardening up as I have been killing desert plants too..lol), I eat dessert first any chance I get :) Only thing odd really is probably me ..lol
