My Big Wish:
I would love to have a long acrylic scarf that was striped black and grey. Not too skinny, not too fat. Very long, very chic, sexy, European. I will happily swap with someone to obtain such a scarf. Or buy one! Either way!!
Very important for you crafters-- I am allergic to wool!! It makes me itch so badly that I can't wear it in any form -- socks, hats, scarves, mittens, etc. Anything that will touch my skin... :(
Thank you!! (And thanks to you if you are my swap partner!)
