Swap Coordinator:institches (contact)
Swap categories: Crocheting  Yarn  Handmade 
Number of people in swap:10
Location:Regional - USA
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:August 1, 2013
Date items must be sent by:August 21, 2013
Number of swap partners:5
Description:

You will send two 7" basic traditional granny squares to each of your assigned partners. Now everyone will have 5 partners so you will be mailing out a total of 10 grannies, 2 to each partner.

IMPORTANT!!! Each granny must be made using the basic traditional granny square pattern. Also, you MUST use a 4-ply worsted weight acrylic yarn. DO NOT use cotton or wool for these squares and DO NOT use anything lighter than 4-ply. You must use a different color yarn for each round so that each granny will have a rainbow of colors, thus the swap name. The number of rounds depends on the size hook you use and how tight/loose you crochet. Please measure your squares accurately and make sure that they are as close to 7 inches as possible! ALSO Make sure all ends are woven in and clipped!!

Any questions, please send me a message. Rating requirement for 4.8 and up. With no recent 1's or 3's. Newbies welcome with a WELL filled out and detailed profile. (Yes, I do check.)

Also ~ I live in "Boonyville" and sometimes our internet connection isn't very good. This is especially true when it rains & in the winter months. So please be patient, partners will get assigned and if needed I will extend the send date.

Hi, you mentioned there will be 5 partners in the description, but you only list 1 partner at the top.

Thanks @PVMcHugh I fixed it!

I'd appreciate some input for all participants and watchers....is 5 partners too many? Would you participate if there were fewer partners to send to?

You can post here in the comments section or PM me.

Greetings, I really like this swap, it will be my 3rd in the series. I am fine with 5, but fewer wouldn't hurt my feelings either. Thank you for asking.

@mumsie - thanks for your input. I seem to be getting the same partners each time (nothing wrong with that) but was thinking with fewer partners we may get different partners each time. Also, I'm thinking of the postage costs to send to 5 people at once.

More input is greatly appreciated!

I was thinking the same thing, that I am getting the same partners. 5 partners is good if you have more than 10 people in the swap. I would like to see 3 partners unless we get a lot more people to join.

I think I would join if there were less partners than 5...

Going to leave it at the 5 partners for this month. Starting with September there will be 2 or 3...not sure yet which.
