1st post of the new term

Look at Sirius the puppy!
Isn't he so cute?
(My idiot brother actually gave him the stupid name of Apollo, but I'm working on convincing him that his real name is Sirius... He even has HUGE paws... That's padfoot. And I know it! LOL He even has a little gryffindor scarf. Maybe I'll steal him and convert him to Ravenclaw...)

WISH LIST:
Okay so I don't have much of one... Especially with anything that's knitting related or remotely affordable, I kind of get myself most of the things that I want... So I'm grasping at straws and really trying here... If I come up with anything else I'll add it. :)

• I'd like new cable needles... My favorite U-Shaped one totally disappeared and I've looked everywhere and have no idea where they went or ended up
• Malabrigo yarns... I never say no to those, and I always want them... My favorite...
• Something I want, but by all means do not need: Knitting needle cases that would match my knitting bags... meaning zebra print, hot pink, red, surfer/hawaiin flower designs in hed/hot pink/black/white combos. It's entirely unnecessary, I already have needle cases for all my needles, but it is a wish of mine.

ALLERGIES:

• For jewelry: Nickel, nickel-hybrid metals... I cannot wear jewelry that isn't sterling silver or at least 10K gold... So generally I just tell people not to buy me it. Even the "hypo allergenic nickel-free" stuff has caused bad reactions with my skin. And some silver earrings too, because the dangly part will be sterling, but the posts that go in the ear will be a nickel-hybrid metal.
• Most grasses and hay and some pollen... I get hay fever. Its awful...
• No food allergies to speak of BUT I abhor mushrooms. I refuse to eat foods that even touch mushrooms. (I know, it's very juvenile of me. ::eye roll::) I also hate bananas or anything banana flavored.
