Description:

I personally crochet, and I love to receive work from other crocheters. I also love getting knit items, because I can't knit! So if you either knit or crochet, join this swap to show off your skills! :)

You will be creating a knit or crochet item for one partner. The item should be something you think your partner will like. Read their profile, and check the comments below. Try to match color and yarn preferences. If your partner hates itchy yarn, you should not use it, for example.

You should list some things in the comments that you would like to receive, and things you would for sure not want, if you have any.

Some examples of items to make: hat, scarf, shawl, amiguri, socks, purses, gloves, belts, headbands, baby items...

Only for USA and Canada residents. Must have a full profile if you are a newbie. You must not have any no sends.

I'd like to receive a fun hat, scarf, socks, or something for a 1 year old boy.

I hate itchy yarn :( I don't mind acrylic as long as it is soft, but I really love natural fibers!

For colors, I love everything! Nothing neon, though.

I love handspun, super soft and fluffy items.

I would love a shawl, purse, gloves or something a little different.

Personally I am a crocheter and am beginning to knit. I would love anything you'd like to send! I am a little bigger of a girl, so if you send a shawl, please make it a little larger.

I love crochet and knit swaps, so if you host anymore, please let me know!!

My first choice for something to receive (since I never got around to making one for myself) would be a facial tissue box cover (standard size) in sage green! My second choice would be something wearable in one of my colors (on my profile) in a fuzzy or novelty yarn, since I don't like to crochet with those myself (and I don't knit).

OHHH!!! This sounds like fun! I love to crochet. I would really like a knit scarf, in a cream colour. Not sure what's involved, but I love the cable look. Other than that, I would love anything wearable. I am so excited, I've been in school and haven't had atime to crochet much lately. So this is a great time to jump back in.

I'm so excited about this one. I can't wait to get started.

To my partner: I prefer soft, machine washable, yarn. My favorite colors are black &/or dark gray. I <3 fingerless gloves/wrist warmers, but will enjoy anything that you put your time, effort, and heart into. I know it's more work, but I can only wear tighty woven items.

Hi there, this will be fun! I'm a knitter, but love both! Green's my favorite color - but love all colors, as long as they aren't too neon! I have sensitive skin, so the softer the better - wool is hard for me to wear. I don't mind acrylics as long as they are soft. Thanks, have fun!

I will love just about anything!! I'm very excited. I don't need scarfs, gloves or hats, though, as I'm from HOT Arizona! Thanks! :-)

I love knitted items but I really need a new hat.

I'd love anything wearable. Hat, scarf, wrist warmers all sound great - even socks!! Favorite colors are celedon (celery green), black, rich browns, tans, natural beige. I'm not too picky about yarns, but would like to avoid Red Heart acrylic - it's just SO rough & itchy - but if that's all you can manage - I'll still appreciate the work put into it!!

Hi! This sounds like lots of fun. I never end up making anything for myself so it will be nice to get something! I am a knitter. I love using small needles, so I really hope I get someone who wants fingerless mittens. I have an awesome pattern!!! But I can make just about anything thanks to Ravelry.com!!!

I would love to get a hat, I love the 20's look ones, but anything would be great. Or anything else you want to make! I also have a 4 year old boy so if you want to make something for him instead of me that would be great too! He need hats and mittens too. He loves all colors, and rainbows!

I like natural fibers, nothing frilly like fun fur. I am a simple girl. I also like pink, grey, aqua and purple.

Wow I wrote a lot Sorry!!!!

Color: any except red (unless it's rainbow) - I love color! Yarn: natural or acrylic or a blend - surprise me! (just no Red Heart, please!) Item: whatever you consider to be the knit/crochet item you do the best or the one you most enjoy making - even if it's dishcloths!

ladybree 02/ 2/2009 #

I'd really like a hat, pair of fingerless mittens, long skinny scarf, cowl or amigurumi. Please no novelty yarns. I'd prefer natural fibres, but acrylics are fine as long as they are soft. Thanks :)

Hello. I'm not that picky.. the only thing I can think of is that I'm not a doily type of person. Anything amingurumi would be just fine :-) Thank you.
