Description:

This is the second installation of what will be a 6-part series. If you participate in all six swaps, you will eventually have a 36" x 36" friendship blanket! Great to throw over a couch or display somewhere proudly :)

The rules: Crochet or knit six 6"x6" squares and send them to one partner. They can be of ANY color (feel free to check out your partner's profile and use colors they enjoy)..other than that, there really are no specifications. Use the type of yarn you like...just make sure it is a standard granny square style.

Please rate your partner! There's nothing worse than putting time and effort into a project and not getting a response. Rate a 5 if they sent six granny squares..regardless if you like the colors. Rate a 3 if they sent something completely different..the size is vastly different or the style is not a granny square. Rate a 1 if they did not send anything and did not respond to your messages.

One more thing- please check back on my profile when you are done sending out this swap, if you'd like to join the third installation of this project.

My goal is to start the next one as soon as we're finished with the preceding one...in an effort to get all six swaps done within a nice time frame!

Please, no flakers! I'm willing to angel the swap if need be, but I'm hoping everyone commits to this.

Hi, looking forward to this swap. Bobogrl, could you post some links or pix for the type of squares to send? For instance, is any style 6" square ok, or should they all be classic "granny"?

Sure, Slytheringrrl..here's a link of some pictures.

A standard granny square should be used, but if you have a different type, I'd pm your partner and ask if they mind you using a different style of square.

I see nothing wrong with using a little variation in your square..some have a circle inside instead of a square, etc. The reason I said "standard granny square style" is because I had a lot of private requests that they be a normal granny square.... some want their blankets to have a uniform look. Thanks for asking!
