This is fun.
My wish list:
1. US size one or two Addi Turbo (or other metal) circular needles long enough to be used for magic loop (35-40 inches?).
2. Art inspired by any of my fics.
3. An alarm clock whose alarm will keep going off over and over, no matter how many times I hit snooze.
4. Someone to help me put together a presentation for my Master's thesis defense. Intelligent feedback and the like.
5. The name and/or author of a book that goes like this: a woman's great aunt or grandmother or something dies. She inherits a big old house somewhere up north (I live in Texas, so this is a broad term for me) in a rural-ish area. It either used to be a yarn shop or she turns it into one. There is some mystery - possibly with the manner of her relative's death or surrounding one of her dead relative's friends. She has lots of conversations with the relative's friends and neighbors. It was very knitting-centric, I think.
6. An apartment in Beaumont, TX for $600 a month or less that allows pets.
7. Donations to the March of Dimes. In memory of Phineas Miller, if you like.
8. Suggestions/recipes for vegetarian alternatives for holiday meals (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.).
9. A really nice pen. One that doesn't have a sharp edge near the tip, you know what I mean?
10. A cloak. You know, like a traveling cloak from a high fantasy novel. Black or some other dark color, wool, ankle-length, preferably with a hood. Just a link to a place I could buy one or, as a last resort, a pattern I could cajole my grandmother into making me would suffice. All the ones I've found for purchase are either cheap costume-style or made of velvet.
