would you like hand knit items? Fingerless gloves,  hats, small shawl or neck gaiter? If yes,  please give measurements.

I always love fingerless mitts but I am very picky about using a super stretchy cast on and bind off because I have huuuuge hands.   I don't wear cowls or traditional knitted hats.  I do have a bundle on Ravelry called "make for me" if you need ideas... it has a lot of amigurumi because I'm not great at crocheting...  also lots of colorwork and double knitting.  😂    Honestly, I'm too hot 99.99999999% of the time and I wear t-shirts / shorts / sandals (no socks) when it's 40 outside and am comfortable.  So some of the costume-y hats on my list or amigurumi would probably get more use than mitts or a shawl right now since I make my own.

 

My head is:  23" 

My wrist is:  8.25"

My palm above thumb is:  8.5"

Where I would start/stop a thumb gusset is:  3.25"

 

Let's say I'm going to make something with your favorite non-fantasy animal that comes in multiple colors of coat.  Do you want the "classic" color or would you like one of their lesser depicted colors?  Or a fantasy color like blue or purple?

 

If you're going to make me something with piggies (and they're ALWAYS commonly depicted as pink which I personally find annoying because those are usually hogs, not pigs) I would really prefer the color that my piggies are (Duckie - Gold, Snuffie - Amber with black spots.  Lots of photos on my instagram.)   If it's pibbles, I love "blue" (ie, steel grey.)  White stripe up the nose optional.  Friesians are always black, I like black but a purple or blue tone would be fun too.  Ferrets I love the "dark eyed white" color.  Ratties I love blue hooded.  Bats, black and grey are great but whatever fantasy color (purple?  dark red?  blue?) is fine too.  Did I miss any?  :coffee:

Would you rather your creation had utility, or was simply aesthetic?

Up to you, I'm good either way.  

 

I have multiple ideas. Would you like to see one idea repeated across two or three... "things", or would you like two or three different ideas manifested?  (Alternatively expressed as matching set vs. unrelated expressions.)

I'm good with both!

 

What are you hoping "I" will make "you"??

I don't even know myself!   I don't wear jewelry anymore for a variety of reasons (allergic to metal except sterling silver and surgical steel, but can't wear metal necklaces at all because the chain irritates my neck no matter what it's made of .. can only wear silk ribbons or leather right now but don't.)   My ears and body piercings are all healed up.  I knit, so I don't really *need* knitted things.   I have 10+ prints waiting for frames, but frames are kind of at the bottom of my expenditure lists.  Things that I could in my window, or outside, or put in the garden?   I'll treasure whatever anyone makes me, so make whatever you'd like.  Just because I don't *need* things doesn't mean I won't LOVE them.  

 

What are your feelings about bags? Do you like certain size? Would you be okay with a purely decorative small bag, or does that just sound bonkers? 

Well, I do live with someone who has an etsy shop that sells project bags, so I have a LOT of bags of a project size.   I'm not sure what I would do with a purely decorative small bag unless it contains something smelly to stuff in my sock drawer or the like.  ;)   Or if it's appropriate to hang off a belt which dress up for a Renn Faire (in which case I would give it to my son.)    Other than that, I don't really use bags other than grocery size bags and while I have a ton of those, sometimes I still buy more when Trader Joes comes out with a new cool design...  but I will always take your bags.
