Description:

I like using up bits of yarn on these little things. This is a swap for crocheters. So if you don't know how to crochet please do not sign up. If you are a beginner you might want to try your hand at these first before you commit to a swap.

Here's the swap. You have one partner to make (3) three crochet hearts for. I didn't want to provide a tutorial because then everyone uses just that one idea. Instead google images of crochet hearts or crochet heart appliqué and you will find many patterns and tutorials to choose from.

They should be made from acrylic yarn, flat and not stuffed so that they can be sewn onto an item. Keep the sizes small enough to be like a patch about 2-3 inches, but no more than one of the hearts can be small like a coin.

SWAP REQUIREMENTS: 1) One partner, 3 hearts, acrylic yarn, flat and not stuffed, senders choice for color. This is pretty basic and simple.

2.) Send on time and rate fairly. You can not rate down if you don't like the looks of the swap. Rate only if it met the requirements and not made poorly and falling apart. Sending late means it didn't meet all of the swap requirements and your partner can rate you a three. If you are new to swap-bot sending on time means to mail by the send date - not that it has to be received by the partner by that date.

Not rating at all is not only rude, but it isn't following Swap-bot rules.

SWAPPER REQUIREMENTS:

U.S. ONLY, but feel free to host the same swap and set it up for your region.

Newbies welcome with complete profile - it gives others an idea of what to send. Here's your chance to build ratings by doing a great job.

No experienced swappers with 1s or ratings below 4.98. I don't usually drop swappers until right before I assign partners - but I do check daily. I read every profile, and I do drop people who I think might present a problem to other swappers (not regional U.S., several threes, ratings slipping, comments that you send late, a lot of resends, no recent signing in, being listed as a problem swapper etc.)

Don't join when you know you don't meet the requirements.

I'm having trouble getting the hearts to look like hearts. They end up looking like triangles. Any suggestions?

lonleyassassin 02/24/2014 #

I think I've got it! But I'm still open to suggestions and tips otherwise.

I do have ideas for more shapes! I'm using different ones to dress up plain hats. I'm thinking flowers, birds, robots etc next.

I had trouble getting mine to look like hearts too. Searched for a super easy pattern and finally found one that is all single crochet. It was so easy!!! Mailing mine off today. Yay....completed my very first swap!!! Hope my partner likes here hearts:)
