Funky Scarf Swap Questionnaire

Let’s get the allergy part out of the way. Are you allergic to any fibers?

Not really. I would be sad if my scarf smelled like smoke though. I’m not too into cigarrette-smoke flavored anything. I’m somewhat allergic to cats but not enough to make you knit in your car or a tent if you had a cat. I can deal. Fo sho!

Do you prefer any fibers over others?

I don’t like anything that is hairy or scratchy especially if it’s around my neck. I love the feel of the recycled silk by Mango Moon and it’s super funky to boot. You can’t go wrong with a soft merino or cashmere either.

Post an image of something that you think is funky!

Have you seen these funkadelic Textural Yarn Kits by Erica Weiner? They are amazing. I love this one.

I think that’s pretty much spot on in my mind of what would be a perfect yarn for a funky scarf for me. A skinny scarf in garter stitch in that? I’d be 150% happy!

Would you prefer funky yarn or a funky pattern?

Yarn! It’ll be easy. Get the funky yarn, cast on a few stitches on big-ass needles and voila. You’ve made me happy!

What are your favorite colors?

Doesn’t everyone know this by now? Purple & black!! I also love pinks, sage-green, and most anything that isn’t a Fall color or a primary color. (or neon) Look at my blog and I love all the colors on my blog. I wear a lot of black.

What is your favorite piece of art?

Well, I’m going to have to say any piece of jewelry by Thomas Mann. And trust me. It’s art. Before my mother passed away she collected his jewelry and when she died I was lucky enough to get all of them. T. has since bought me a few more and they are simply the funkiest pieces of jewelry I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t seen his work you have to go check him out. Like this pin? I have one similar to it. There’s just something about his work I think rocks.

What colors would you never have up close to your pretty face?

Yellow, brown, orange, kermit-green. Anything that is a Fall color. Blech!

Would you prefer an actual scarf or a cowl?

I’d rather have a scarf.

When you wear a scarf do you prefer a wider/shorter scarf or a thin/long scarf?

I like thin and long. I’m not kidding about the total garter stitch skinny scarf with super funky yarn. I’m the easiest to please swap pal you’ll ever have if you do that.

What is the climate like where you live?It rarely gets much colder than about 20′ during the winter and is in the 90’s during the summer.

Would you prefer a functional scarf (to keep you warm) or one just to funk-up your wardrobe?

Funk it up baybee!

What else would you like your partner to know about you?

Look! This is pretty much exactly what I look like on most days. Black top and jeans/capris. But see? She needs a scarf!

    You are just too cute. I wish I had you for a swap partner this would have
    been a slam dunk.
