Is there anyone in this swap you have swapped with before or that you live with/can’t hide secret projects from/are currently in a blood feud with and simply cannot spoil?
Anything else your spoiler should know about you and your interests?
Have you read the rules? How many times? ;)
Do you understand that you will need to meet check in requirements, and that missing check-ins can result in your being removed from the swap and placed on our blacklist?
Do you understand that in a swap this size, I can’t track many exceptions to the rules, and that you may be asked to bow out if you have major issues arise?
Back to the many questions posed in the thread -
Colors we should let the Cybermen “delete” from the universe because they are so horrible? (i.e. Colors you don’t like?)
Would you want the scarf knowing it wasn’t your only handmade and that it would be made of soft acrylic? If yes, would you want it altered at all? (length, width, minus a color…)
What yarns do you have access to? Would it be difficult if your swap partner needed non-wool or non-acrylic?
Would you want some cute Doctor Who freebies included in your package (as an extra, not instead of proper items)?
New Daleks or Classic Daleks?
Do you prefer variegated or solid yarns?
Do you spin or dye your own?
How do you feel about 2nd-hand books?
Do you own any Doctor Who novels or audio-books?

Would you like handspun yarn or an item made from handspun yarn?
If you’re a spinner, would you like fiber to spin? If yes, what kinds do you prefer?
Chocolate? White/milk/dark? Favorite combinations for flavors?
When it comes to smelly things like lotion and candles, what is your preference and what scents do you love?
You’ve just been accepted as the Doctor’s next companion (congratulations!). As such, you get to pick the next destination. Where/when do you choose? Past? Future? Edge of space or just down the road?
Do you cook?
What is one thing you really want to find in your box? Doctor Who related or not
How many stitches do you prefer your socks to be? (54, ,60, 64, etc)
What size needles would you use? (1.0, 2.0, 2.75) (I know this also plays into the amount of stitches used)
Would you use.. light fingering, heavy fingering, sport weight?
Do you prefer- wool, wool superwash, wool and polyester blend, or some other fiber mix?
For a proper fitting hat… What is your head circumference?
So for your DW swag do you need something official or is all handmade by spoiler/etsy better?
Wrist/hand measurements for gloves/mittens?
Would you use/need a knitting needle or crochet hook holder/organizer?
Do you have a cell phone or ipod?
Do you have anything you would like a cozy for? Measurements? (kindle, laptop, whatever)
