I'm so excited about my swap pal matches this year! I'm sending and receiving from Ravenclaws.... I've had nothing but great experiences with the Ravenclaw house.
My spoilee is Waverly Trimble, and my spoiler is Wisteria Lovegoods! Woohoo! It doesn't get any better than that. Let the blog-stalking begin!

Gryffindor House Quiz
Ravelry ID:
kristo
What are your three most favorite colors?
- Blue, Green, Red..... I like most colours really.
What are you three least favorite colors?
- Mustard yellow, pea green, "muddy colours" (but they do have their uses too)
Your favorite candy is _________________.
- I love "penny candy" (gummies) and of course Chocolate. (I'm pregnant - due April 10th - so I'm into ALL types of candy and snacks right now!!!)
Who is your favorite Weasley?
- Fred & George.... or maybe Molly
Do you knit, crochet, or both?
- I mostly just knit, but I did learn to crochet to make my daughter a teddy bear. I enjoyed it, just haven't made anything else yet.
What type of kit did you ask for?
- I couldn't decide.... but a fingerless mitts kit or a sock kit would be top on my list I think.
Acrylic— (a) has its uses, (b) should all be burned, (c) best yarn to work with? (choose an answer)
- Has its uses (great for kids toys!)
Who is the Gryffindor Head Girl ?
-Millicent Brocklehurst
Name four "extras" you would love to receive in your kit.
- Candy! ;-) - something for the new baby? - I don't know, I'm horrible about asking for stuff for myself.
What are your three most favorite scents?
- melon, vanilla, apple.... I like fruity or sweet scents rather than florals
Do you prefer salty or sweet snacks?
- sweet..... mmmmm, candy
Which Gryffindor and Slytherin students are sisters in real life?

- Of course! Actually, I do have a lot now, but I really like getting new ones.
DPNs, circular, or straight?
- Circulars, with a long cord for magic loop.
Favorite yarn? Dream yarn?
- I'm still learning about what I like. I learned to knit with cheap acrylics, but I've been trying more natural fibers lately and I really like the difference. I'm open to suggestions!
Favorite HP Movie?
- Prisoner of Azkaban
Favorite HP character?
- Sirius Black.... although I change my mind about this question fairly often.
What is your favorite pattern?
