Coffe Swap 3 - Q&A

1. Whole bean or ground?
Usually ground for French press/bodum but I like whole beans too! I'm just too lazy to grind them...tehe!

2. Fully-loaded or decaf?
Fully loaded - the darker the roast the better.

3. Regular or flavored?
Regular only please...not such a fan of flavored coffee.

4. How do you drink your coffee?
Cream and sugar...I've got a wee bit of a sweet tooth...although when a coffee is really really good I like it without sugar.

5. Favorite coffee ever?
Ideal coffee in Kensington Market, Toronto...Their lattes are to die for...

6. Are you fussy about your coffee or will any old bean do?
As long as the coffee is strong (but not the sat in the pot all day strong, yuck!), I'm happy. Weak coffee makes me sad :(

I tend to prefer small and local coffee shops and avoid Starbucks at all cost.

7. Favorite treats to have with your coffee?
I'm a morning coffee drinker so I love it with my cereal...homemade oatmeal raisin cookies are also a favorite! Oh, and chocolate...anytime :)

8. Anything else about your coffee preferences?
I have a slight preference for organic and fair-trade coffees.

9. Yarn/fiber you love?
Natural fibers are my favorite. Malabrigo and Brown Sheep Company are on the top of my list these days but I adore anything hand dyed or anything made by local artists...

10. Yarn/fiber you hate?
Ummm...pure acrylics usually. Phentex is the worst...

11. What's on your needles?
I'm currently knitting the Dream in Color Shrug for myself in a beautiful blueberry Malabrigo and the Sacred and Profane Top off Mittens (from Knitwits book) for a friends birthday in Mirasol yarns (Blues and purples).

12. Favorite colors?
Lime green and royal blue are faves of the moments but I love all blues, pinks, purples, greens...mmmmm colour!!!

13. Allergies?
Sadly, I'm allergic to rabbit. I learned this the hard way by trying to knit with Angora...oh sadness because its the absolute softest yarn EVER. Rabbits in real life also give me horrible allergies. Boo.

14. Anything you really love, really don't like, or just need to get off your chest?
I really love anything to do with vintage scooters (Vespas, Lambrettas etc). I also adore cats (especially my own). I love all things Korean or Japanese and anything to do with Halloween.

I don't like politics very much, haha. We just had an election in Ontario and I'm glad the campaigns are OVER!!

All this writing about yarn and coffee has made my thirsty...time for a cup of joe

Bye for now!
