Create A Christmas Afghan Swap Round 3

BOTH KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS WELCOME!

INTERATIONAL SWAPPERS welcome!

You will have two partners in this swap. You will crochet or knit three 12" squares for each partner, for a total of six squares. This swap will run in four rounds. Which will give everyone twentyfour squares in which to make a lovely afghan to help decorate you home for the holidays.

You can use any pattern you want, as long as it results in 12" squares. Squares must be made with 4-ply worsted weight acrylic yarn, that way everyone gets a nice consistent afghan when swapping is completed. All squares should be sent with tails woven in and ready for assembly. DO NOT KNOT THE YARN AND SNIP AT THE KNOT!! Please make sure you weave in or work over a reasonable length of yarn, so that no one’s squares unravel.

There will be two color schemes: Traditional and Victorian, both shown below. If you do not use the color examples given below, please match the colors as close as possible!

If your partner has not indicated a preference in the comments below, please contact them to find out their color scheme preference.

Traditional colors are:

Red (e.g. Red Heart Worsted Weight in Cherry Red)

Green (e.g. Red Heart Worsted Weight in Paddy Green)

White (e.g. Red Heart Worsted Weight in White)

Victorian colors are:

Dark Red/Brick Red (e.g. Red Heart Worsted Weight in Burgundy)

Dark Green (e.g. Red Heart Worsted Weight in Dark Sage)

Cream/Ivory (e.g. Red Heart Worsted Weight in Aran)

This swap is open to everyone with a 4.8 rating or higher. Newbies are welcome with a completed profile. Anyone with “No Sends” in the last 6 months or a rating lower than 4.8 will be deleted.

Extras may be sent with your swap to earn some heart!

YOU MUST RATE YOUR PARTNERS when you receive your squares. If you don’t plan on rating, don’t join this swap.

See my blog for more details and examples!

Victorian colors for me please. To "hiitsdonna" what you do is sign up for the swap, there is a link for that on the swap page. Then you have to wait until the last day to sign up or drop the swap.(October 1rst for this swap) The coordinater will then assign partners usually a day or two after the swap has closed. You should get an e-mail saying partners have been assigned, then go to the swap and at the top of the page you see a little box mine is yellow there it will have a link "see partners to send to" click on it and a you should get a pop-up with your partners name and addresses. Just be aware that there are color choices for this swap so check with your partners before you send to see what they would like. I hope this helps, you can also go to the forums and find help there too.

Hey, I got one of my partners parcels out. Still working on the second, but it should be done soon!

MyDarnYarn 11/12/2008 #

Both parcels are out now. The second one may be post marked a little later than the 10th (see my profile for reason) because it was technically sent the 11th with no post. But, yes, they are out.
