Description:

Hello everyone Im continuing these afghan swaps for Bettflow,so please sign up, and have fun making your squares! I'll be posting the other rounds in the next few days so be on the lookout!

BOTH CROCHETERS & KNITTERS WELCOME!!!

INTERNATIONAL SINCE THE POSTAGE WILL BE FAIRLY SMALL:))

In this swap you will have 2 partners. You will crochet or knit 3 6" squares for each partner for a total of 6 6" squares. I will run this same swap in 10 different rounds which will give you 60 squares if you join in all of the rounds. You will make the squares in your partner's choice of colors, so email your partners to find out what their color preferences are. However, it would be really nice if each person would list their color preferences in the Discussion Board below:)))

You can use any pattern you want just so long as the squares measure 6" when complete. All squares must be made with any type of 4-ply worsted weight yarn. Please do not use chunky, simply soft or any other extra thick or super fine yarn. We want all of the squares to basically be the same weight yarn so they will look nice when we piece them together to make our friendship ghan:))

Everyone is welcome as long as they have a rating of atleast 4.5. Newbies are welcome as long as they have a completed profile. I will be checking profiles when the sign-up period closes and anyone who has any no-sends within the past 3 months or a rating below 4.5 will be deleted from this swap.

Postage will be fairly small for this swap, so international swappers are more than welcome to join:))

You are welcome to send extra goodies along with your squares to earn some hearts. Also include a small note about yourself as well. Everyone loves receiving extra surprises:)))

OH YES....one last requirement:) You MUST rate your partners when you receive your squares. If you DO NOT plan on rating your partners DO NOT join this swap!!!

My favorite colors are purple and pink :-)

sagobrandt 07/25/2008 #

I want my squares in blue.

adoptacritter 07/25/2008 #

What happened to Bettflow?

I want mine in Neapolitan ice cream... strawberry pink, chocolate brown and creamy vanilla. :)

craftycrocheter 07/25/2008 #

Any color is fine by me, but if you need more specifics, check out my profile, it has my likes and dislikes listed there. Thanks.

Angel 07/25/2008 #

Hello adoooptacritter, When I saw the afghan swaps missing this morning I went to Bettflows profile and it said on there that she bit off more than she could chew with all the swaps she was hosting so I decided to write her and ask if she would mind me continuing the friendship afghan swaps for her. She was ok with it so I went ahead and started R2 and I just posted R3. Im glad everyone is signing up because I am having lots of fun making squares! I hope everyone is having fun too! Thanks for joining! Angel

SpinKnitUp 07/25/2008 #

I'd like earthy colors... greens, dark blues, tans, rusts, deep yellow, fall leaves orange, etc.

bicyclerepairman 07/25/2008 #

earth colours for me as well- only it has to be yarn you have on hand!

amandapage 07/25/2008 #

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.

kgeslab 07/25/2008 #

I like the fall colors - such as brown, maple leaf red, gold and burnt orange

JennieMaeD 07/26/2008 #

I would love to join, but I'm not a very quick knitter and the send by date is too soon. The previous swaps had a month to send by and that worked well for me. If there was more time between when partners are assigned and the send by date I would rejoin. I'll have to keep an eye out for a similar swap.

AmandaC 07/26/2008 #

I agree with JennieMaeD, I was disappointed when the other swaps were cancelled but I don't think I can join this one because of the send date. I can't knit that fast. :)

Angel 07/26/2008 #

I added some more days to the send date hope this helps

mattsmom499 07/26/2008 #

I agree the swap time is short , I am joining this swap, perhaps we could get our partners earlier? Can crocheters be partnered with other crocheters? Bettlflow was going to try to do that. It may be easier to join the squares.

BTW, I love granny squares, so any color is fine.

AmandaC 07/26/2008 #

Yay - thanks for extending the send date Angel! I would love it if my colors could be ocean-y. Sky, sea, sand, etc. Nice natural shades.

lalchee 07/26/2008 #

Thanks so much, Angel, for hosting this. :-) My favourite colours are greens and purples.

mydnite 07/26/2008 #

Hi! Thank you, Angel! I would really like to have any shade of denim- like any color of jeans- or varigated blues with white.

JayNizzy 07/26/2008 #

Ok, from what I understand the swap is under new leadership. I asked this question on the previous board but I'm not sure if anyone answered and I can't find the previous one anywhere.

So, is it ok to join round 2 if I wasn't apart of round 1?

Angel 07/27/2008 #

Hello JayNizzy, you can join any round you like,if you missed round 1 you would want knit or crochette your self 6 squares so that you'll have 60 squares at the end like everyone else.

artist60164 07/27/2008 #

Thank you all for joining again and thank you Angel for continuing this. This is my first afghan of nations swap and I love the idea.

Jeanne

I just want my vivid and crazy colors.

Angel 07/27/2008 #

I just wanted to remind everyone to sign up for R3 and R4. I just posted R4 today and will be posting R5 later today. have a happy Sunday everyone! Angel

JayNizzy 07/27/2008 #

Thanks for answering. OK, I'm in. :-D

This if my first swap. I'm so excited!:-)

I think for this project I want every square to be different, like all of the people involved. So any color will be just fine, the brighter the better though. I'm also a huge variegated fan.

AmandaC 07/27/2008 #

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!!! :)

telizas 07/27/2008 #

Solid colors for me - I like earthy colors, but feel free to use stash!

paulavelosa 07/28/2008 #

I'de love to receive in red, orange and yellow. thanks.

JennieMaeD 07/28/2008 #

Thank you for extending the send by date. I would love any colors but pinks and pastel colors. I will be making a blanket for my little boy, so anything you think a little boy would like. He's one year old, so he doesn't really have favorite colors, but nothing "girly" please.

beaglemom 07/28/2008 #

I am using Purple, soft yellow and green

surfdonna 07/28/2008 #

I like sea colors. Teal, blue, green, yellow

KraftyKeri 07/29/2008 #

Hi everyone! I'm new to swap-bot and I'm really excited about this swap!

I want to do a light, neutral afghan so anything white, off-white, or light brown/beige would be great :-)

Angel, after the Olympic games can I angel for JayNizzy? That's what Bettflow and I did since I missed Round 1.

Angel 07/29/2008 #

Hello mattsmom499, Sure you can angel for R1, thats a great idea. I hope that everyone gets their squares, but if not I'd be willing to angel if by any chance someone gets flaked on. I hope that doesnt happen but if it does just let me know. I want everyone to be able to finish their afghans. Have a good evening, Angel

BLee 07/31/2008 #

I'm going real girlie on this one... Shades of peach... Peaches and cream... Many thanks...

mattsmom499 07/31/2008 #

24 hours to go!!

cpackard 07/31/2008 #

I am thinking bright (but NOT neon) navy blue, pink and white - super preppy! Acrylic is OK with me (gasp) - I can wash it!

lashelle 08/ 1/2008 #

My blanket is black and white. =)

leahsimone 08/ 2/2008 #

Hi--I'm going to go with pinks of all sorts on this one. But you can surprise me with blues too. My first partner (Sienna) made me gorgeous variegated squares, with both pinks and blues, so I'm going to use those as the inspiration for the rest of it.

artist60164 08/ 2/2008 #

I want my to be wild crazy. vibrant colors from all over the country.

sienna 08/ 2/2008 #

blues into purple please - some teal is good too.

Thanks!

stitchesaroundtheworld 08/ 2/2008 #

blue and white or even variegated of blue and white.

orcasong 08/ 2/2008 #

I like yellows, oranges, peaches, and white.

kgeslab 08/ 2/2008 #

Please, no red heart yarn please!

Slytheringrrl 08/ 2/2008 #

I like bright, rainbow colors. No pastels.

readyamber 08/ 3/2008 #
