Knitters Coffeeswap 3
Hi! I've joined a lovely swap for the fall, Knitters Coffeeswap 3. I'm looking forward to gifting my recipient with the amazing hand roasted beans from a local coffee roaster,Armeno (they also have a really great wine cellar). Often, I will start the dough for challah rising just after the kids head off to school on a Friday morning and then hop in the car (still a little flour dusted) and head over to the farmstand and then Armeno's for coffee and wine, the smells inside the roasting area are so heavenly!!
In any event, what follows, as it often does when one joins a swap are the answers to the questionarre posted on the swap blog.
Here are the questions:
QUESTIONS
1. Whole bean or ground? I prefer whole bean, but sometimes in the interest of effeciency (our grinder is small) will buy some ground for an automatic coffee maker.
2. Fully-loaded or decaf? Fully loaded, of course.
3. Regular or flavored? We lean towards exotic regulars but some of the flavored coffees are fine.
4. How do you drink your coffee? Ah, confession time. I, to be honest, do not drink coffee, although I love smelling coffee. I live with coffee drinkers and they like cream and sugar in their coffee (which I think is wrong). I love tea.
5. Favorite coffee ever? Ethiopian Yergecheffe Free Trade from Armeno's, their Indian Monsoon Malabar is a big hit around here as well.
6. Are you fussy about your coffee or will any old bean do? This households coffee drinkers are often fussy about coffee in the home, but oddly love to grab a cup at Dunkin' Donuts when commuting to work. Go figure.
7. Favorite treats to have with your coffee? Muffins, dark chocolate
8. Anything else about your coffee preferences?
9. Yarn/fiber you love? Sock yarn (hand dyed), Cascade220, Mission Falls 1824 wool
10. Yarn/fiber you hate? Novelty and most acrylics
11. What's on your needles? Secret of the Stole (almost done with clue 1!), Thrummed Mittens and socks using one of this years club colors from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Oh and the Baby Tulip Cardigan and my husbands Icelandic.
12. Favorite colors? I love all colors, especially brights!
13. Allergies? Bees.
14. Anything you really love, really don't like, or just need to get off your chest?No, I'm good! I think this will be a fun swap and am looking forward to putting together a fun package for my recipient!
