Most of my swaps are from the Knitty Boards, but, there is one that is being held in the NYGK group! It's the KnitFlix Swap, where we prepare a package with a movie, yarn, and other treats. So, here's my questionaire:
Since this is a summer blockbuster swap, would you rather receive a summer action/adventure movie, a light romantic comedy, or a suspense/thriller?
Definitely NOT a suspense/thriller. I love Action/Adventure as well as Chick Flix and Romantic comedies!
What is your favorite film genre or type?
See above.
List 3-5 of your favorite films and why you like them
Hhmmmm.... Old fav - The Sound of Music - it's just such a classic!
Action flix - The Die Hard Series - just saw Live Free or Die Hard - Bruce Willis just doesn't dissappoint!
Chick flix - Coyote Ugly - those girls just kick booty! How To Make An American Quilt - sappy but fun. Ten Things I Hate About You - yep, never really outgrew some of those teeny flix either...
Is that all over the place enough for you?
Do you like foreign films? Would it annoy you to watch a film with subtitles if you are knitting/crafting?
I don't actually own any, but yes, I tend to listen MUCH more than I watch to most TV/Movies. I'm usually watching TV, online, AND knitting all at the same time!
Is there a movie that you've always wanted to see but haven't?
Not that comes to mind at the moment...
Do you have any favorite actors?
Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson, Matthew McConnahae, John Cusack
What kind of movie night treats do you like? Type of Candy? Popcorn?
My sinful treat is Jelly Bellies, my "approved" treats are Popcorn or Dark Chocolate.
Are you a sock knitter, lace knitter, or hat/mitten/scarf knitter?
Socks, lace, baby stuff, sweaters, felted bags... You name it, I've probably knit it.
What are your favorite fibers?
I enjoy wool blends, where you get the feel of the wool, but softened by the blend. Much cooler for Florida!
What fibers do you dislike or are allergic?
Not a big acrylic or novelty yarn fan.
What are your favorite colors?
Blue, green, purple, maroon... jewel tones basically.
What colors do you not like?
Orange, yellow, pastels.
Is there anything else that your partner should know that will help her spoil you?
I'm also a tea fanatic.
In other swap news...the Rut Busting Sock Swap partners were handed out today, and I'm V excited! Can't wait to put together a box for this partner!
The sock swap is going well...I'm making great progress on the first pair!
Some other tidbits I've received lately include this great picture frame and natural dyeing book from Penny, my Harry Potter swap pal:
This GORGEOUS hand-dyed fiber from my Spinning Swap Pal:
Kelley got me THESE for my birthday! That's a Lantern Moon bag, a felted mini-purse, 3 pair of stitch markers, some YUMMY peppermint soap, a fun little quilted bag...
Oh, and then there's the loot... K and I went to Tampa a couple of weeks ago to do some shopping. First stop was Knit -n- Knibble who were having their anniversary sale. Great prices, and I picked up something for a swap and a couple of things for me - That's 9 skeins of Obsession (at 30% off!) and a skein of Mountain Colors.
Here's the Mountain Colors up close...
After that we went to Uncommon Threads. Sadly their roving was buried behind some shelving that they had to move temporarily, so we couldn't buy any of it. I did find this GORGEOUS Alpaca yarn though!! Oh, and a couple of cool patterns too.
The week after, I was at Chez Casuelle and found a couple of things there on GREAT discounts, so I just couldn't resist...
