Hot Cocoa Swap Questionaire

Cocoa:
1. What is your favorite way to drink cocoa? Prepared with milk? Water? from home made recipe or store bought?, In a tea cup, or big mug? Love most all hot cocoa's. Sometimes its store bought in flavors like Cherry Cordial or the dark chocolate cocoa mix. I do make homemade and usually its with milk, provided there is enough milk as it usually more than myself drinking it so have to makes lots. Definitely a BIG Mug!!

2. Marshmallows or whipped cream? Definitely marshmallows and lots of em, plus I set a small candy cane in with too for that touch of mint flavor sometimes. Sure is Yummmmmmy!

Yarn/Knitting/Crochet
1. What is your favorite type of yarn? In what colors? Not sure I have a favorite yarn, there are so many out there and most I can not get here where I live unless ordering from m online, but then I don't know all that's out there... colors would be purples, teals, black, white, tan, greys, lime green, blues -love denim and do like most, just not too hot with orange.

2. Do you knit or crochet (or both)? I mostly crochet. I did teach myself to do the knit and purl stitch, but it takes me forever and lots of stabbings..lol Hilarious to watch...lol

3. What are your favorite type of needles, would you like to try something new? I know when I try to knit a dishcloth I love the wood over the metal, wood ones I do lots better with. With my crocheting, I tend to lean more towards my old aluminum hooks but would like try others.

4. Do you have a healthy supply of notions? Not really when you say healthy, my notions are in poor health.

5. What one thing do you keep thinking you need to buy for your knitting habit (outside of yarn)? I love to make bags so every time I think I'm gonna buy handles or closures for the bags or any quick clip additions, I always forget. Partly because they are hard to find out here. Sometimes the selections aren't the greatest.

6. What is your favorite 'quick knit/crochet' pattern (quick gratification) Nothing is quick in knitting for me...lol Crochet would be the little dress bookmarks, cable hat I played with and the stitch markers cases I make (they only take about an hour if that).

Miscellaneous
1. What is your favorite thing to do in the Winter? Use to be bundle up and go play in the snow. always made Snow Angels, but living in the desert we don't get snow too often..lol We take pics if it does! If I'm not curled up with something to crochet and either cocoa or coffee by my side, it would be outside bundled in a blanket sipping on something hot while watching the dogs run wild.

2. What is your favorite animal? I love most animals, but my all time fav's are wolves and black panthers. Sometimes my black cat Electra reminds me of one wen she's stretch walks real slow past Lady....lol Electra's nickname is panther too.

3. Do you get the 'winter blahs'? Oh yea, more then I like to admit...I'm one of those that needs the sunshine. I love the cloudy days, they make good baking days, but too many of them in a row and that's it for me.

4. What is your favorite way to beat the blahs? Good question, guess still trying to figure that one out. Usually friends keep me busy with emails or laughs or I get busy with crochet and guess my mood just changes accordingly, but I usually will get real quiet.

5. What is the thing you are most looking forward to this spring? In all honestly, getting back into my yard projects and hopefully getting them done. I love to be outside and what Spring we do get is great to be out in before the HEAT comes.

6. What are your favorite treat? Oh now, do you really have to ask..I'm a chocoholic and I love it plain. I am a junk food junkie and love the sweets but not into the hard candies no more so I tend to stay with chocolates (Hershey bars, 3 Musketeers, M & M's, raisinettes), chocolate covered cherries, ring dings, yodels...etc, etc.... Love them tasty cakes....lol added cause I forgot my favorite Oreo cookies!

7. What is your favorite board game? Wow its been a long time since we have played a board game but it usually would be Backgammon, Monopoly or Life.

8. Do you have any children (furry or human)? Human- 3 grown boys, 2 are still home (ones that usually have hot cocoa with me, hard to make it without being seen..lol)
Furry ones- 2 dogs, Storm (Canadian Snow Wolf) & Lady (Siberian Husky) 2 cats, Electra & Dyna

9. Do you have any allergies or special considerations you partner should know about? Just that I can NOT have anything decaffeinated, on me it works the opposite and wires me up something fierce. No known allergies otherwise.

Don't be shy, bother me, ask questions, whatever, I'm easy going and don't bite....
