Knittin' Sheep Shwap

Please see my profile for colours. Thx!

I think that sounds OK. Other swappers - let me know if you would have a problem with sending pigs instead of sheep if you were assigned Gina.

Ok, sorry Gina, thanks for understanding. I do think Tassy makes a good point.

Gina, One other solution I was thinking about would be for you to join the swap and you could ask that your partner send something with a pig on it, and if they don't want to or can't, you might end up with a sheep thing, but you would still get the yarn.

I wanted to change it because I want you to join, but I don't think I can make someone go outside of the swap stipulations.

Thanks!

Just so everyone knows, I am not changing my swap parameters. It's staying the same as it was originally. I do think that it is OK that someone requests something a special way, "like I hate this color, please don't send me yarn that color." It is up to that swaps partner to decide if they want to listen to their partners request. When it's all said and done, you can't rate somebody badly because they didn't send you the color you wanted, only if they didn't send you yarn at all. So everyone, thanks for all the comments and please be assured that the swap is staying the way it was originally written. Thank you and happy swappin' to all! :)

I love wool so this swap will be great! I feel the same way about sheep. It's a shame that they stink under normal conditions. I am really into red and lime green feltable wool. I also enjoy roving.

Come and join us at the Project Spectrum swap! IF you dont know what it is, here's the website that will explain it to you!

Joanne: You say to send one sheep item and to "Use your imagination". Does this mean that the item has to be handmade?

Tassy: Personally, I love handmade things, so I think it would be really nice to send something handmade. But really, what I meant by use you imagination was that it could be anything (I like lots of options). It's nice if it serves double duty like a sheep shaped measuring tape or a knitting journal with a sheep on it. But really, I'd like people to send something that they would really like to receive, that way everyone gets super awesome packages. Thanks!

Thanks Joanne.

Ive already bought the sheep item in Sweden last weekend. Its so cute and I regrett not buying one for myself too, but this one is for my swapper. :) Hope she`ll find it as cute as I do.

You got the right idea, articgirl64 :)

favourite colours are..blue/pink/purple..or mixed..I'm in for a surprise too.

Is handspun yarn acceptable?

Linuxwitch: Yes, yes, yes! :) Handspun yarn is more than acceptable! It is desirable! As long as the yarn is 100% wool, it is welcome :)

Awesome! 100% wool is NOT a problem. LOL

Ta Joanne for letting me join in! I love any colours. No, honest any. :D

I like any colors but I really like texture! I would like to get some thick and thin wool or some beaded or embellished wool. I don't get many choices up here in AK so I always drool over these things. :)

This is a great swap! I love colours such as pink, purple, blue and orange.

If a spinner gets my name, you are more than welcome to send handspun to me:)

I love sheep, I don't knit but i make these adorable sheep using wool. I would love wool that is sheep colored so i can make more. Somehow pink sheep wouldn't look right. Look forward to swapping.

I would like shades of plum, eggplant, deep purples. I also love texture, the nubby yarns or thick thin yarns are my favorites. Any variegated yarn in any color combination is fine with me.

I hope everyone will post pictures in the gallery when they receive their packages.

It's probably too late.. but I like every color except aqua.- Briana
