Second line of business,
Knit 1 Tea 2 Color Swap Questionaire
- Do you like loose tea or bags, or both – something you want to try?I use bags but would love to try loose tea, wanted to try for a while.
- What is your favorite kind of tea (Brand, flavor, variety, etc)? I love Stash Tea's. I have not tried not one I don't like. I love Chai and Chai mixes, fruity teas are good too. My Dr. says it is best for me to come off caffeine (I know that stinks), so I am going to have to say decaf.
- Favorite color in regards to tea or one you would like to try? (black, green, red, and white) (keeping in mind that this is how this swap is set up).I like black, white, and green. Black is my favorite.
- Would you say you were a tea pot kind of person or just a hot water heater kind?I love the idea of the teapot and have one and love it, but I heat my water up all the time when I want tea.
- What tea accessories would you like but have never purchases for yourself?I would love a tea strainer so I could try loose tea.
- How do you prefer to be pampered? (examples: mani/pedi, bubble bath, yummy treat, etc).I love pedicures, I love a good hot bath or shower, and when I am not enjoying tea, I love to go to Starbucks and get Lattes (my 8 year son even tells me on the weekend, that I should treat myself, only so he can go and get something, coming from him I usually do.).
- If you were a kind of yarn what would you be and why?I am new to the yarn world and I am learning, I would say in the summer a good cool cotton, and in winter a wool or wool blend, to stay warm.
- If you had to knit/crochet baby booties, a fun fur scarf, or a fair isle sweater, which would you choose and why? I would say fun fur scarf or baby booties, don't have the patience for a sweater.
- What other event would make you skip a tea party? (A garden party? A book club meeting? A yoga class? Opening night for a new action thriller? etc?)My son's baseball game (it is serious business)
- What treat would you consider essential at your tea party? (Sweet? Salty? Scones? Those petite pastry trays with a couple of all sorts of things? Little crust less sandwiches?)Crustless sandwiches, scones, little muffins, petite pastry trays, or my Great grandmother fried apple pies.
- When buying yarn for a project how do you choose - do you buy the one called for or do you substitute?A little of both, just depends on the project and if it is a good substitute.
- What do you carry your knitting/crocheting in when on the go?Tote bags.
- Favorite movie to watch while knitting/crocheting?I am not that experience, I will miss stitches and mess the whole thing up.
- Are you a traditional tea cup kind of person or a mug type of person? Do you care if they match?I have tea cups and saucers, but I like my big mugs.
- Favorite childhood birthday party? I was about 7 years old and at one of our malls in Birmingham, there was Restraunt/ Icecream place. My parents took about 5 of my girlfriends and we had a ice cream birthday party. The restraunt had old timey memorbilia and was just a really neat place. Then my friends came over and slept over. Very fun!
- Favorite type of scone and jam? I love any type of scone/or muffins. My favorite jam is, it does not go with scones really but I love it with cream cheese and crackers. It is made by company called Ravens Nest locally (they make great apple cider mix) it is Rasberry pepper jam. Its sweet but with a little kick. I like cream cheese - pineapple, strawberry, any fruited. I also love pumpkin and apple butter.
- If you use candles, what is your favorite scent? I like ocean for the bathroom, the den and kitchen anything homey scent, cinnamon, vanilla, caramel pears, or just pear, apple, gingerbread at christmas.
- If you could choose 3 people to have 'tea' with, who would they be and why? (famous or not, living or dead). My grandmother on my fathers side, My Nana and my sister. Both my grandmother and Nana I would be able to sit down and enjoy tea with. My Nana would see too it we would have some fried apple pies and my sister, well she always lives away and I cherish any time I get to spend with her (whether its tea time or any time).
- You've been invited to a tea party, what 'props' will you wear (formal or casual)? If it is formal, then I would wear a cute short full dress. If it is casual, either pants or a summer sun dress. I would wear a hat if I could find one I like. I am a girly girl when it comes to dressing.
- Any allergies/preferences you have or are willing to admit to? I am not allergic to anything.
- Anything we missed that you want your pal to know?This is my second swap and I loved the first one. I know Chan our hostess is super and I can not wait to get started making something new.
Well that finished my business. Now I just have to get packed to go spend a weekend in Atlanta (Six Flags tomorrow). At least while driving I can be knitting.
