[Shannin]

I'm Shannin, I'm a student at UC Berkeley studying computer science. I live in a neighboring city with my boyfriend, who finds all my crafting very interesting (it's funny how amazed he is when I make things). He loves cats, but unfortunately I'm allergic to them. I like geeky things and gamer things. I LOVE pandas. My favorite colors are orange and green. I like neutral colors: black, brown, grays, cream, etc. I do not like pink or purple. My favorite crafts to do are spinning, knitting, crocheting, cross stitching, and sewing.

- Roving/Batts, dyed or undyed. Preferred fibers are merino wool (superwash or not), bamboo, tencel, banana, and blends. I'll take anything, though.
- Acid dyes / Procion dyes. Open/used are fine, a long as there's still some left. I prefer Greener Shades acid dyes but I'll take any brand.
- Yarn, dyed or undyed. Commercial or handspun. Wool, bamboo, cotton, acrylic. I like soft, bulky yarns.

I am mainly here to give - I must admit Though I do have a few needs myself...

I was born and still live in Denmark. I live in a smaller town called Kolding because my school is located here. It's a designschool and I study fashion and textiles. I'm currently on the MA.
I do a large vareity of creative stuff but I focus mostly on knitting and sewing. Also I have a big interest in organising events which I do in my spare time. Along side that I do live roleplay and mediaval reenactment with focus on procurement of handcrafts.

As for dislikes hmmmm I don't like paylies and tartains and for colors like neons and pastels. Is very much dislike fun far and acryllic yarns. I like drinking cocoa and knitting on the sofa. In short I like using my hands. I like color combies like blue-green-yellow, light red-green and a single neon orange with grays. In general I like color.

Hi, my name's Jami

I live in Washington state with my husband and 2 cats.

Fabric to make zippered pouches, bags, and other simple sewing projects.
Knit Fabric to make skirts or shirts. (I love knit)
Buttons. I own no buttons but it seems they would be helpful in making projects
I have a love hate relationship with Brocade Fabric. http://www.joann.com/search/_brocade_fabric/ I love it. it hates me and always shreds.
