Well, it looks like Winnie landed in a boring place this week. Imagine, a town with no shops or pubs! She could only be in Appleby, North Lincolnshire, England - home of the Appleby Arrows!
Hello friends! My name is Bridget the Bloodthirsty (I know, I know - family name) and I am a 23 year old witch enjoying my magical education at Hogwarts after finishing up my muggle education in sunny Florida. I'm playing Quidditch this term as a Wigtown Wanderer!
I'm crazy about all kinds of yarn. I don't have any allergies and love all different types of fibers from merino to cotton to alpaca to bamboo. Generally speaking, the softer the yarn is, the more I like it. Malabrigo is a particular favorite of mine. I have a huge favorites list of patterns on Ravelry encompassing everything from bulky weight projects to lace weight, so I will use anything sent to me! The only kind of yarn I wouldn't like to receive is novelty-type stuff like Fun Fur and really cheap acrylic like Red Heart Super Saver.
Needles and Hooks
I knit and crochet. My favorite knitting needles are Knit Picks Harmony Wood. I like wooden and metal crochet hooks. I keep my hook and needle list on Ravelry up to date, so you can check on what I have or don't have over there.
Colors
My favorite colors are green, blue, gray, purple and pink. I tend to like cool colors as opposed to warm ones, but nice bright jewel tones are wonderful in any hue.
Food
I love chocolate and almost all types of candy (especially those gummy peach rings with marshmallow on the bottom). I don't have any allergies. I'm a big tea and hot cocoa drinker and I don't like coffee very much. My favorite snack is popcorn. I dislike candy that will stick in my teeth like Dots and Butterfingers. I also don't like white chocolate.
Other Favorites
I was an English major in Muggle college and I love books of every type from the classics to romance novels. I love book recommendations from other people because they expose me to works I might not have picked up on my own. I collect pens from different places. I love all animals, but especially bumblebees, birds and seahorses. I also have a deep fascination with anything relating to ancient Egypt.
Favorite Things
Malabrigo (any kind) Any of the pay patterns from my favorites list Anything knitted/crocheted in Wigtown Wanderers colors! Crafting accessories like tapestry needles, point protectors, etc. Stitch markers Some type of storage system for my dpns or crochet hooks Interesting buttons and charms (think odd here, not cartoonish) Hand Lotion Anything with birds, bees or seahorses on it
