Coffee Swap Questionnaire

I’ve finally got my Coffee Swap partner, so I can get on with it!

1. Whole bean or ground? whole bean
2. Fully-loaded or decaf? Caffeinated, definitely!
3. Regular or flavored? Regular
4. How do you drink your coffee? Strong, with a bit of sugar and half & half
5. Favorite coffee ever? Dark roast Costa Rica
6. Are you fussy about your coffee or will any old bean do? Oh boy, am I fussy! I only like Central and South American coffees, dark roasted.
7. Favorite treats to have with your coffee? Pastries, chocolate
8. Anything else about your coffee preferences? I love to buy my coffee from small, local roasters. Aside from supporting a local business, the coffee is nice and fresh and delicious
9. Yarn/fiber you love? Natural fibers! I love animal fibers, but plant fibers are great too. I just have more use for wool than cotton here in MN.
10. Yarn/fiber you hate? I don’t care for man-made fibers, though a percentage of them added for strength (like nylon in sock yarn) is certainly fine.
11. What’s on your needles? A shawl, a baby sweater, socks.
12. Favorite colors? Greens, reds, oranges, browns, black. I’m an “Autumn”, what can I say?
13. Allergies? Not an allergy, per se, but I can’t tolerate artificial scents or flavors. They give me nasty headaches, so I try to stay away from them.
14. Anything you really love, really don’t like, or just need to get off your chest? I am in love with lace knitting lately, though it takes way more concentration than I have available much of the time.

    Hi Jess! I wanted to thank you for the lovely prize yarn you sent me (for Knittymama’s Sow the Seeds contest). It’s really amazing stuff — I’ll have to find a great project to show it off. Thanks!
