Hey everyone!

Here is round 2 to Crochet Me Some Granny Squares! Round 1 went over good, so I thought we could give it another go! :)

I've been crocheting for almost 20yrs & I know some more of yall love to do it too! ;) & I've gathered up several extra squares from my penpals & thought it would be cool to get enough to make an international afghan! So, ill be making a regional swap & an international swap, as some don't do international swaps. :)

You're to crochet/make one 6x6 Granny Square for each of your three partners. :) worsted weight yarn. No fancy yarn, please. it can be a traditional granny square, or a modern take on it. Either will be fine. Colors are the creators choice, of course... But check your partners profile for color likes/dislikes. If you can match up to that, then great! But if not, please donnot rate your partner bad, because she (or he!) Did not match your fave colors. It's childish to rate because you didn't like your swap. That's not what swap-bot is about...!

Oh, & you'll have a week & a half to send out. It shouldn't take that long though. They're very simple to make!

Chantal B set up a series of these swaps originally, and I have continued them, with her exclusive permission (on my 8th now), because she has internet issues in Canada. They (Knit or Crochet Me a Granny Square swaps) have been going strong for well over a year! Probably closer to two. I think it is noble that you set up your own swap, but this isn't an original swap, and shouldn't be presented as one. Although ours are called "Knit or Crochet Me a Granny Square", most everyone crochets them. I believe I have received ONE knitted square in all of my swaps. However, knitters are able to be included in those swaps. Your swap does differ slightly, since you require 2 squares be sent to each partner. That's only a choice on our original swaps. I hope you don't take this as an insult. Just thought you should know, in case you didn't notice the other swaps.

@diva72mom I did NOT say this was an original swap, by any means. Swap ideas are not copyrighted on here & people are welcome to create swaps as they want. Original ideas are always cool, but not many ideas are left, as there have been thousands upon thousands created before.

Are we supposed to send 2 squares to EACH partner? That was not how I read it. It was clear to me that we send one 6-inch square to each partner. And I think the more crochet swaps there are, the better.
