Description:

This is a US only swap.

This is the August edition. Due to other obligations sign-ups end in July with send date being early August.

This is the fourth round. Thanks to all those who have participated in the previous three for making them fun and pretty. Again, read the guidelines. This time we are not sending yarn to our partners but we are sending two to each of our two partners (you'll make 4 total dish/washcloths).

If you love to make dishcloths or washcloths and just can't seem to stop collecting and trying various patterns, and if you just can't walk by the cotton yarn without touching it or, like me, buying at least one ball of it, then this swap is for you! Doesn't matter if you knit or crochet, both kinds are welcome.

Each person will have two (2) partners. To each partner you will send:

Two (2) handmade dishcloth/washcloth either knit or crochet, any pattern, any solid or variegated in any color except the following colors or shades of these colors: green, orange, red. If you are using variegated and one of these three colors is in the shade, as long as it is not the dominating color, it's ok. Any question, ask.

One (1) pattern - this can be the one you use or a favorite you want to share. Try to find out if your partner knits, crochets or both and send a pattern they can USE. Nothing overly complicated or out of their craft. Someone who doesn't knit probably has no usage for a pattern that's for a knitter.

Anything extra you want to inclue.

Please do not ask for any particular pattern or color. Remember that if you don't like any of the items, you can always re-swap in a different swap later.

Because you will have to shop and then make two dishcloths, and because they really aren't all that time consuming, you will have approximately two weeks from the time sign-ups end to send out your package.

A minimum rating of 4.75 is required to join this swap. If you are a newbie, however, please contact me and we'll chat. Newbies are welcome with a completed profile but you must email me first.

Any questions, please contact me.

This will be fun, fast and fairly inexpensive.

Knit on! Crochet on! Swap on!

TAG I'M IT! This one ends right after my bday oooh I'm getting old lol.
Thank You for making such a great swap! And the timing is perfect, I should be recovered by then. :-)))

Oh Heather, have you learned nothing? hehe Like this ending AFTER your birthday would preclude you receiving a package. Yeah, I'm busy but gee, that just means I have to shop THIS weekend. Glad you can join us this time!

Invisible 07/17/2007 #

How did I miss this one???...I'm in :o)

mutantpenguin 07/17/2007 #

Glad to have you back! And we would have missed you!!

Craftlover10101 07/20/2007 #

Hey Invisible's here too! lol Well I can't wait for the partners to come out for this one. Hurry up 27th lol.

KnittingCateling 07/22/2007 #

Hey, I like this one! I have my pattern all picked out and everything - now to get on with the knitting! Glad I re-read the info before I started, instead of assuming it was the same as last time. :)

mutantpenguin 07/26/2007 #

FYI, my packages will go out tomorrow, Friday the 27th. Not telling to who. :p

Sallenlouise 07/26/2007 #

Mine will hopefully go out by Monday at the latest. I can't wait to get them finished!

~~~I think I have some patterns ready!

RockstarMom 07/27/2007 #

Hi everyone,

I'm ready and I'll get them to the PO later today. Hope Cate & Amanda likes their packages. Have a great weekend!

Craftlover10101 07/27/2007 #

Hi Everyone, I will more than likely get mine shipped Mon. Our post office is not open on weekends and hubby has taken off with the twins to get some shopping done in the city so I don't have too. Plus he goes back to work Mon. so I can be more sneaky with my packages lol. I know I am sooooo bad. (wicked laughter coming from my home) hahahahaha no i'm not that bad just a little

mutantpenguin 07/27/2007 #

Well yes, indeed, my packages went out today. Enjoy when you get them. OK... OK... I'll tell. Dawn and Amanda. :)

Invisible 07/27/2007 #

I sent out one of them today...but the other needs to wait...I have to finish one of the cloths...

Sallenlouise 07/29/2007 #

OK, mine are made!!! I will send them out on Monday for sure.

Invisible 07/30/2007 #

Got the other sent out today...yah...I can mark sent!!!

Craftlover10101 07/30/2007 #

I mailed mine out today. I hope you ladies like it. Rita and Lauren. Happy Swapping

Craftlover10101 07/31/2007 #

I received Vikkie's today. They are very nice, I love the little loop. What a great idea. The white looks very victorian. Thank You! :-)

Craftlover10101 08/ 3/2007 #

Since I received confirmation on the packages I'll be posting on my flikr what was sent.

mutantpenguin 08/ 3/2007 #

If you can't make the deadline or have changed your mind, PLEASE email me. It's not fair to your partners if you can't. I know sometimes things come up (family stuff, job stuff) but please, be polite and talk to your partner (and me).

Craftlover10101 08/ 6/2007 #

I have to laugh because it just figures I get the one who's rating drops to a 1 the moment the swap starts lol. I am laughing though but than I am worried too. I don't understand she has an online business and her husbands in the service. So I just pray there isn't anything wrong. I'd rather have no swap and know that everything is ok.
I just hope my partner let's us all know she and her family is ok.

mutantpenguin 08/ 7/2007 #

Two weeks after the end of the swap (meaning August 23rd), if you have not received a package or an email from a partner assigned to you, let me know. I am getting tighter about requirements and am not afraid to ban someone from a future swap. Someone who's been good about sending but then starts to flake better have a really GOOD explanation. Let's keep this fair and fun, ok?

Sallenlouise 08/ 8/2007 #

Mine are sent...apparently, not monday like I said, lol! I don't know what I was thinking! Dawn and Mutant Penguin, I hope you like your dishcloths!!

mutantpenguin 08/ 8/2007 #

Oohh... can't wait! Thanks! I am sure I will!

mutantpenguin 08/ 9/2007 #

Oh boy! A fabulous package from Betheliz!!! Beautiful dishcloths and an entire book of knit and crochet patterns! I AM SPOILED!!!

Craftlover10101 08/ 9/2007 #

Sounds great Lynn, what is the book called? I love books lol. Have a really bad addiction to them.

RockstarMom 08/13/2007 #

Hi all, its been crazy busy around here ~ no car, pga volunteering and lack of sleep. I have received both my packages and mailed out both of mine on the 8th. I hope you liked what I sent and I'm off to get more sleep.

Thx for the fun even though it will be next week before I truly enjoy my packages. ;D

Craftlover10101 08/14/2007 #

Hi Ladies, I might not have gotten my swap but so did the other partner of INdenial. If the other partner would like to swap privately with me we can kind of make up for it together. What do you think? who's the partner lol

mutantpenguin 08/15/2007 #

I got a great package from Sallenlouise today!! FABULOUS!! THANKS!!
