Ongoing Wish Swap 28

[Annchen]

I claim Samsara for a DIY Sock knitting kit.
This is my second claim of two. 2 claimed, 0 sent, 0 received.

I live in Uppsala, Sweden. I'm 25 years old and since my fiance is away working I live alone at the moment. I'm on my last year of studying before becoming a pharmacist and I can be very geeky about drugs, toxicology and pharmacy.

I enjoy knitting but I also like to make designs with hama/perler beads and paint on anything that sits still long enough. Water colour painting is my summer hobby and body paint is a lot of fun but I don't get to paint on people as often as I'd like. I sew sometimes, mostly when I get a crazy idea for a gift to someone I like, and while I can handle a sewing machine I'm not that good at it.

I've got rheumatism that affects my hips, knees and shoulders and I love to be warm and snuggly since being cold can make it worse. I've recently discovered the wonder that is wrist warmers.

I like bright fiery colours, but I can't wear bright red or things like that close to my face without looking like a vampire I like black, red (not tomato red), different purple colours... Green can be nice. Chocolate brown too. I'm not that good at figuring out what colours look good on me...

Sewn things
Big wish: A scoodie with dark purple fur lining. Not too bright purple (I'm not good at describing colours). I don't mind looking like I killed a Muppet, but I don't like blindingly bright colours next to my face since I'm pretty pale. My winter jacket is dark purple, more blueish than reddish if that makes sense.

And another big one: A Kroko hot water bottle cover like the poor guy from The Asylum (http://www.parapluesch.de/). There is a Kroko plushie in my wists but I like the way he looks in the game more. I have a hot water bottle already and I can measure it for you.

Cloth pads. I've been wanting to try the circle pad but any model will do. I'm not a heavy bleeder and I'm just as happy with pads without wings. Recycled fabrics are fine and I don't mind bright colours to bleed on
Circle pad: http://shewhorunsintheforest.googlepages.com/

A bag for storing my knitting when I want to take a project with me. It would be nice with something like a yarn-guide for the yarn to run through to avoid escaping balls of yarn...

A small heat pad in nice fabric, or a new cover to my old one (pm or email me for size). I can fill it with rice myself for cheaper postage. Thanks mimiw!

Crocheted things
The flat kitty coaster from my wists. Any kitty-colour and pattern as long as it looks cute and squashed.
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=157293.0

A red eyed tree frog: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=195987.0

Craft supplies
Felt soap kit (or just a felted soap, they look so neat)

Or a soap kit? I'd like to try soap making but I'm not sure where to start...

Small things/misc
A row counter bracelet. Black, purple or red beads, or maybe a combination

Dpn point protectors to keep my socks-in-progress from poking innocent bystanders.

Stitch markers suitable for knitted hats or to mark my place in lace patterns.

Earrings like these: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=15623.0

Sewer slug from Flushed away. As a plushie or polymer clay thing perhaps?

Hair clips or something to keep my hair out of my face.

If you have some candy corn left over from Halloween I'd love to try some. Other local candy might be fun too.

Something inspired by my wists.

[Samsara]

Yay! Thank you Annchen!  I'm going to claim you back for some stitch markers!

[Samsara]

Hi, I’m Samsara, I’m in the UK and I get three wishes. This is my second wish this round. 2 claimed; 0 sent, 0 received

My Wish list
Ethical & Allergies - I’m a vegetarian, so no animal products please (wool's okay, but leather, fur, suede or gelatine aren't!) I’m also allergic to nickel.
 
Jewellery
A crystal/gemstone necklace! I love amethyst, rose quartz, turquoise, tigers eye, fluorite, garnet…um, I pretty much love all gemstones!

A glass pendant (fused, dichroic, stained or lamp worked)

A beaded cuff type bracelet (Not too thick please - I have small wrists and hands)

A microscope slide pendant

Fiber
A newsboy hat like this, in purple or black or green 
http://www.wists.com/Samsara/4e9db88e8c45f83307253a2a44b5a43c?offset=20

A magic yarn ball with a fun project to do  (Any yarn except acrylic – I have loads of that in my stash!)

A pair of bootleg style knitted legwarmers in variegated yarn – purples maybe? (pm me for measurements)

Felted slippers

Sewn
A jewellery roll with lots of pockets and a ring keeper please?

A string of prayer flags or bunting with cool material 

Long bloomers or patchwork pj style pants

I’d love a coin belt/scarf for my belly-dancing – I have a sort of gothic costume that I’m working on at the moment (black and silver) 

Any tribal belly dancing accessories in black and red – I’ve just started a new tribal class (head pieces, falls, jewellery, a cowry shell belt, etc)

Some washable cloth pads with wings and a fastener – there have been some really cute ones that people have made! (A travel purse with dirty/clean compartments would be excellent too, but not essential  )

Decorated USB drives

Supplies and kits
DIY Sock knitting kit Thanks Annchen! 
Glass etching kit (I have lots of glass)
Wire wrapping kit

Flexible moulds for polymer clay/resin, or some of that flexible polymer clay for making your own moulds, or mini cutters. I don’t mind if they’re not new. 

Vintage image rubber stamps or swirly background stamps - again they can be pre-used, or unmounted.

Beads (no plastic please) especially gemstone beads, and unusual clasps (can’t find them round here).

A pair of crimp pliers

A bead spinner!

Decorated storage boxes for craft supplies - mine are all in shoe boxes at the moment, functional, but not pretty on my shelves. Flat topped please so they can be stacked.

A surprise! 

100% wool yarn for felting or dyeing

Alternative craft books - there are some fab ones about at the moment! Any craft book in fact, I don't mind vintage or pre-loved! I’m particularly after books about drop spindle spinning, macrame jewellery and silversmithing at the moment 

Miscellaneous
Something for my yoga practice – surprise me! I love these!
http://www.wists.com/Samsara/92f74e187e3ef41e24b8f66ffbe22b21?offset=20

A decorated Altoid tin with either a dragon, a LOTR theme, Harry Potter or Pirates of the Caribbean!

Anything from/inspired by my wists http://www.wists.com/Samsara

About me
I’m 38, I’m an art teacher, and I live in the UK with my BF, 2 cats and a german shepherd dog. I’m basically a hippy-gothy chick, my favourite colours are purple, black, turquoise and emerald green, although any strong colours are also cool especially rainbows (I don’t like pastels and I can’t wear yellows, or yellow based browns or oranges as they really don’t suit me!) I love batiks, appliqués, Indian fabrics and tie dyes. I love tactile things, and things that are practical rather than decorative. Favourite themes are cats, dragons, peacocks, nature, trees, stars, Ohms, lotus’, tribal style designs, anything Celtic, Art-Nouveau or Zetti, sci-fi and fantasy books and films.

I’ve included my Wists, but don’t feel obliged to produce exact copies, they’re more a general guideline of what I like or would like!
Here’s some extra information about me if you want! http://samsarasswapinfo.blogspot.com/

Thanks in advance for choosing me!!   
 

[Dulcinea]

I claim Samsara for "A crystal/gemstone necklace! I love amethyst, rose quartz, turquoise, tigers eye, fluorite, garnet…um, I pretty much love all gemstones!" (I have a magic wand pendant on chain that's silver with multiple amethyst, it's beautiful, but I just don't wear it - it needs to be with Samsara because it's perfectly her style!)

This is my 4th claim, 2 received, 1 in transit, and I'm in Wisconsin.

wish list (really big wishes in bold red)!

KNITTED AND CROCHETED THINGS:

a satchel bag like this http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer05/PATTsatchel.html  (bright colors, use up all your felting colors?)

Purple and white, thick gloves (not mittens, please) or fingerless mitts in purple - I had gotten a pair of gloves that appear to be out of something similar to peaches n cream, in purple and white stripes, and one got lost.... and I could really use something to keep my hands warm for the october football games and still let me take pictures!

this felted backgammon board (or something similar)  http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/na_knitting/article/0,2025,DIY_14141_5311864,00.html

i love this felted bag - but i've never tried the double knitting
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/knitlikeapirate.html

the felted monster slippers in the SNB book?

SEWN THINGS:
a flamenco skirt like this http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=3905.msg29436#msg29436

a corset top - the kind with the mini-hooks up the front?  I have one, and i love it, would love another one!

can anyone figure out how to make a shrug jacket like this?  I LOVE this jacket, but this is the only picture I have of it
http://www.wists.com/Dulcinea/7e8bc1ec576c4d291d9c7cd844f89887?offset=40

another big wish - the pants from Burda Pattern number 8316 - they're a pair of pants that I love - view A (long, not crops) in the smallest size (and we can talk about sizing) (I can provide pattern and fabric, I just need someone who's a better sewer than I to actually make 'em)

I love this corset top - can even send the fabric for it!
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=127920.msg1283107#msg1283107

this skirt - anyone think they can find a pattern and make one?  it doesn't need to be so long... mid-calf would be perfect
http://www.shukronline.com/wt3601.html

If anyone loves to sew, I love this skirt!  would love a soft drapey sort of fabric
http://www.garnethill.com/jump.jsp?itemID=12386&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C4477%2C9140%2C9143&iProductID=12386

• body butter

   
something inspired by my wist  http://www.wists.com/Dulcinea

and if i stall out the swap, someone yell at me, and i'll add more stuff.

... right... about me.  I'm the REALLY old lady in the crowd (even older since my last b'day, but i haven't hit 50 yet!), the one peering over the bifocals.  I have 2 teenagers, 1 of whom lives at home, and my day job is a computer programmer.  I have no allergies, no issues with animal products, would prefer to avoid religion/religious articles and politics at all costs.... my favorite colors are the jewel tones, think ruby, sapphire, emerald... i don't do terribly well with pastels.  We live in an apartment, where space is always at a premium... so small things that sit on tables and shelves and don't do anything except collect dust aren't a great thing here.

Thanks in advance to anyone who chooses me

I claim KittyKill for: Microscope pendant (and something off her wist)

I’m Laura, and I'm pretty new to swapping. I do a lot of anime-style illustration work (I’m currently a freelance illustrator). I also love taking craft classes with my friends and family, so I do a lot of crafting. I love going down to our university “CraftShop” and working on whatever; they have everything there and it’s a really nice atmosphere. The main things I do are sewing, knitting, and woodworking, but I’m always up for something new!

I like earthy colors – greens, browns, rusty reds. I’m also super tall (6’3”) if that makes any difference! ^_^

Wishlist (I’ve tried to keep it fairly open)

Polymer Clay / PMC / beginners kit.

Box ‘o crafty supplies (inspiration box! ^_^)
