Jeremy's Knit-a-bit

Knitters' Coffee Swap Three

I am pleased to be in again because love knitting and coffee! I try not to overload on KALs and Swaps during the school year but this is a must! Here is the questionaire and answers.

QUESTIONS

1. Whole bean or ground? Whole bean

2. Fully-loaded or decaf? Fully loaded

3. Regular or flavored? Regular, I love dark, espresso roasts, I have enjoyed some of the "nutty" flavors, no spices please.

4. How do you drink your coffee? Black – I guess I am a purest

5. Favorite coffee ever? Hard to say. See above

6. Are you fussy about your coffee or will any old bean do? See #3

7. Favorite treats to have with your coffee? Usually if I have some thing with my coffee it is my laptop or breakfast, I do like biscotti.

8. Anything else about your coffee preferences? It has all been said above.

9. Yarn/fiber you love? Merino wool, alpaca; sock yarns are fun.

10. Yarn/fiber you hate? Acrylic, novelty yarns

11. What's on your needles? Lots, a sweater, socks, an afghan, golf club head covers (I wont go into my UFOs)

12. Favorite colors? I love color therefore I shy away from neutrals or muddy colors. It is good to be surprised though because sometimes you discover you like something you wouldn’t have selected yourself.

13. Allergies? Yes, but I usually ignore them. I do avoid knitting and wearing mohair because I react to it.

14. Anything you really love, really don't like, or just need to get off your chest? My ravelry ID is Jeremy if you want to check me out there or friend me.

I have been having fun checking out the other Swap members blogs. The swap is closed but you can check it out here.

It was supposed to be a WIP Wednesday

However Tuesday night it was very windy and a branch knocked out the electricity at about 11:30. The electric company worked all night sawing, etc. to return the power at about 6:45am. However it was too late for me to work on this post so it is now Friday. I took these pictures over the weekend.

Looking a my sidebar I decided I should give some attention to the Lace Wings Fixation Socks so I knit a couple repeats of the pattern over the weekend. I am now ready to shape the toe.

Still in summer hibernation is the Waves of Blue Afghan. I almost brought it out.

Receiving the most attention last week was East Hampton. I have begun to shape the arms and have set it aside until this weekend. I need mindless knitting during the week because I am usually rather tired. So this week I have turned my attention to:

The golf club head cover. I have finished the ribbing and started the head of the club. It looks like I will have more rows of stockinette than I anticipated. I will figure it out as I go and write it all down to the rest will match.
After previewing this post it seems as if I have a color theme going. Interesting.

Coffee Swap Three

The first thing I did this morning was send an email to sign up for coffee swap 3. If you love coffee and of course knitting check it out. I have a feeling it will fill fast. You can get all the info here.
