Description:

I'm going to try to host a magic yarn ball swap for each month... I just love magic yarn balls... thank you to everyone that participated in the past swaps...

for this swap, you will make ONE magic yarn ball.... try to make the theme of the ball match your partner's profile... BUT it doesn't have to!!

you could also just do a theme that relates to the month..... november = thanksgiving december = christmas january = new year february = valentine's march = st. pats day

i just don't want to limit these swaps to a theme... b/c so many people on this site may be able to do so many other things on their own!! I've never seen such an amazing group of crafters... (HORRAY swap-bot!!!)

please don't use cheap 100% acrylic yarn... OR put cheap things IN the yarn ball... make something nice... something you'd LOOOOVE to receive!!! - I have had quite a few people contact me and ask me to put a price on this... b/c they have been receiving VERY cheap packages. let's try to get the $$ value AROUND $10, ok?

you can search google or flickr for magic yarn ball pics/ideas

here's a place to upload your sent/received swap-bot magic yarn balls http://www.flickr.com/groups/1583757@N22/ thanks momwithahook!!

there are some WONDERFUL ones out there!!!

you could also include a pattern that would go with the yarn you send.... you could use just one larger skein of yarn... or two small skeins. or, imagine a beautiful hand tied skein!!!!

it's all up to you!!! this is senders choice

Okay, how do you package these up to ship them, especially if it's international? And do you send a pattern with the yarn? This sounds pretty cool, but I've never done...or seen...one before.

you could send a pattern with the yarn... but it's not required. i've seen them packaged up a few different ways... wrapped up with tissue paper and put in a box... or in a huge padded envelope. I've done both also, and either way works out just fine.

I just wanted to post that my ball will be late being sent out I had to send my lap top out to be fixed and just got it back. I was hoping to send my ball today but for some reason SB won't let me open up the section that lets me see who I send to. I;s so sorry I will keep checking today to see if I can open it but If not I will send it out forst thing on tuesady morning when the Post office is running again after the easter weekend. Who ever mypartner is I'm sorry and will get you package out ASAP
