Description:

Hello Everyone! With Angel's blessing I am continuing the Friendship Afghan Swaps. Please look for the last few rounds so you can complete your blankets. - This is Round 8.

BOTH CROCHETERS & KNITTERS WELCOME!!!

INTERNATIONAL SINCE THE POSTAGE WILL BE FAIRLY SMALL:))

In this swap you will have two partners. You will knit or crochet 3 6inch squares for each partner for a total of 6 squares. You will receive two packages containing 3 squares each from your respective partners. This will give you 60 squares to complete your blanket, if you join each round. You will use your partner's choice of colors, so please PM or email them for their choice, OR, please refer to the discussion board below and add your choice as well.

You can use any pattern you choose, so long as the completed square measures 6inches. All squares should be made with 4-ply worsted weight yarn (or equivelent). Please do not use chunky, bulky or fingering weight yarn; we want the squares to match when we sew them together!

Everyone is welcome, as long as they have a rating above 4.5. Newbies are welcome with a completed profile. I will be checking profiles before assigning partners and anyone with no-sends within the last three months and a rating below 4.5 will be deleted from the swap.

You are welcome to send goodies along with your squares and any extras or particularly well-done squares should earn hearts.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST RATE FOR THIS SWAP. Please do not sign up for this swap if you do not plan to rate. THIS SWAP IS VERY CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAYS. Please do not bite off more than you can chew.

IMPORTANT: If you are behind on your squares from previous rounds, and have not sent, you will be deleted from this round!

Feel free to PM me for resources of free patterns!

I would really like to have any shade of denim- like any color of jeans- or varigated blues with white.

telizas 09/22/2008 #

Just no varigated yarn for me. Stripes, designs, etc with solid colors or just solid colored squares are cool with me. Use up some stash!

I like jewel tones, not pastels, and not the neons. The colours you see in Amish quilts, rich reds and greens and blues and purples, those sorts of colours.

SpinKnitUp 09/23/2008 #

Earth tones/fall colors for me. Dark blues, greens, rust, marigold, etc.

paulavelosa 09/30/2008 #

for me: red, organge and yellow. thanks.

mourtisha 09/30/2008 #

I would like Tiffany Box blue, chocolate brown, and cream.

AmandaC 10/ 4/2008 #

I would love mine to be in ocean-y shades. Like beach glass, sand, water, sky - more natural colors and not really bright. Thank you!!! :)

Cassandra 10/16/2008 #

any color is fine but I prefer 100% cotton or 100% wool fibers.

scarmon1118 10/21/2008 #

earth colours please

jessica 11/29/2008 #

I have no color prefrence but please NO WOOL. I am allergic. Thanks!

Aery 11/30/2008 #

last round was too close to the holidays for me, but this one is totally manageable! These will be added to the blanket I am working up from a similar swap on Ravelry!

My only requirements are no acrylics and no varigated yarns, any other fiber/blend is fine and any color is ok by me as long as it is not neon.

alexisknits 12/17/2008 #

I would appreciate it if all of my squares were beige or cream (natural colour) and 100% wool. Thank you!

Pookledo 12/26/2008 #

I would love squares in black, purple or shocking pink. Thankyou :o)

I prefer no black or brown please. I do not mind verigated yarns. Jenny N

I'm going for blues into purples, with maybe a bit of teal thrown in - also, I prefer machine washable yarn for this swap. I can't imagine hand washing a blanket!

Holda 01/ 4/2009 #

I love to have blues. I prefer the medium to darker shades, however, any color blue is fine. Please NO acrylic yarn.

joyceann888 01/ 5/2009 #

I'd love to have purples, teals, greens and peaches (all in any shades)
