Hayley's Wish List...

Are you a knitter or crocheter??
Crocheter & self taught to boot! I can knit... I just taught myself how too...
I love to make.....Pretty much anything. I love working on scarves and I am currently venturing into making a babette blanket. I have made hats and bags too.
I really want to make......A boteh scarf, slipper sock/socks and a bobble (puff stitch purse). Also I would love to make a felted item – what I am unsure.
My favorite yarns are.....
Soft, Chunky, Colourful. I love the bamboo yarns and the yarns that are different thickness throughout.
My wish pattern is......
Boteh Scarf Pattern – Interweave Crochet Spring 2007
My favorite hooks or needles are.....
Metal needles... no specific kind. I like the coloured ones which are heavier. I find the plastic hooks to light and harder to use. I would love to find a great wood or bamboo hook – I have seen them on the web.
