Defeat the Winter Doldrums Dishcloth Questionnaire

I am attempting two swaps at once! I think I can multitask and do this.

1. Do you knit, crochet, or do both?
I knit.

2. What types of needles do you enjoy using for making dishcloths?
size 7 or 8 bamboo

3. What types of cotton do you enjoy using for making dishcloths? Is there any that you've been wanting to try?
I use Peaches & Cream or Sugar & Cream. I have a hank of organic cotton that's waiting to be used, maybe for a lacy face cloth.

4. What color(s) are your kitchen and bath decorated in (if any)?
Both are predominately blue, but my dishtowels and dishcloths are a variety of colors.

5. What are your favorite colors for yarns? Least favorite?
It depends on the project. I can't think of any that I really hate.

6. Do you like Winter, or do you count the days until it ends?
Winter here is mild and I enjoy it a lot more than our long, hot summers.

7. What's your favorite way to brighten your day when you're down in the dumps?
A good movie and lunch at a nice restaurant with a friend will brighten up my day.

8. What is your favorite treat to indulge in and when you're down in the dumps?
Dark chocolate. Heck, I don't have to be down in the dumps to indulge in it!

9. Do you drink coffee? Tea? Cocoa?
Coffee, no! Tea & cocoa, yes.

10. If you could take a vacation starting tomorrow and go anywhere for one week and money were no object, where would you go and what would you do?
I would go to Italy. I'd go to Tuscany and stay in some nice old house, enjoy good food and wine and generally just relax. I'd spend time by a pool, altenating dips in the water with reading magazines and a big fat novel. I'd love to do this.

11. Do you have any allergies or aversions your pal should be aware of?
I really don't like coffee or anything coffee, mocha, or Kahlua flavored.
But I'm not allergic to anything food or fiber and I am open to trying new things!
