Description:

Lace knitting is increasing in popularity so I decided to create a swap for all the lace knitters out there- or those interested in starting knitting lace. You can see some of these popular lace projects at either DK the Nautical Knitter's Blog: http://www.islandzephyr.com/blogs/nauticalknitter/ where you can purchase the pattern for the "Secret of the Stole" or there are several Yahoo! Groups hosting knit-a-longs for lace stoles and shawls. Some are:

Secret of the Stole Secret of the Stole 2 (starting in January!) Mystic Waters KAL Spring Shawl Surprice (starting in Jaunuary!)

I recently aquired a huge stash of lace yarn in all colors, fibers, and textures, but I could NEVER knit this much lace.

Most lace stoles/shawls require on average 1200-1300 yards of yarn. Sometimes more/sometimes less.

For this swap we will be sending out approximately 1500 yards of lace yarn. Please post your color/fiber/texture preferences (for lace) in either your profile or in the Discussion Board below.

Swap limited to swappers with a rating of 4.5 or above and a complete profile. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you and I hope everyone has a good swapping experience!

Great idea!

I prefer natural fibers. I love hand-paints and jewel tones.

Please note. The coordinator of the swap is behind on swaps she owes. Please check her profile.

The host of this swap is not sending her swaps out and claims it is because her husband lost her job.

That is unethical.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

I am sorry for the swaps I WAS behind in. My husband was out of work for a month and we did not have even enough extra money for postage. Now things are back on track, I have caught up on my swaps and my partners were all previously notified. Please, if you don't want to sign up for the swap, don't. I would appreciate some understanding and some respect. Go ahead and check my profile. You will find that my feedback is changing and improving as my partners recieve their items. Thank you

I am looking forward to this swap! I have swapped with her before and have found her to be a conscientious swapper. Very concerned with getting back on track and "living up to her commitments." I have no qualms about her coordinating this swap.

Okay...I hate to say this, but I am disappointed...
