Are you checking rating for swappers?

TriStateLinx 03/15/2007 #

I would love to join, but when you say 3 items relating to summer, can you give an example.

Thanks.

user4688 03/15/2007 #

Billie Jo,

I did update my swap and yes I will be checking rating for this one because in my last swap as a coordinator two persons quite after receiving package so I want this one to be perfect.

Tri-State Linx,

Items relating to summer can be anything like lip gloss, glasses, plastic water bottle, sandals, summer hat, towel to go to the beach... etc anything that you can think, if you send lemonade mix who could send plastic ice cubes (some are in forms of flowers or butterflies...)

Hi all this one makes me want to set on my porch, sip tea and read a book, If only it wasn't covered with snow!!!

I love summer drinks, tho no coffee flavors for me! As for yarn, I like unusual brite and fun colors, I usually make scarves with it.

Summer time goodies, well most anything, I like wind chimes, butterflies, dragonflys and frogs oh and fairies too.

Is there a suggested dollar minimum and maximum with this? Thanks.

user4688 03/20/2007 #

Stephanie,

I think that 15$ to 20$ should be ok.

kerryknits 03/20/2007 #

I love iced tea in the summer. Even better is when it's mixed half and half with lemonade. Try it! You'll like it! LOL

As for yarn, I love natural fibers. Summer finds me by the pool knitting lots of socks and dishcloths. ;-)

knitster 03/24/2007 #

I think this is a great idea! I love anything pink, black, and white, and I like natural fibers, but not wool. I can't wait to get my partner!

ChefSheela 03/25/2007 #

I love summer! Natural fibers, Bright colors, and yummy iced drinks (but no caffine). I mostly knit socks and dishcloths & potholders during the summer too. Nothing too large, thick, and HOT!

I'm so excited... It's starting to feel like spring here, the daffodils have been blooming for a couple of weeks, the tulips are starting to bloom, the grass needs mowing every weekend... Yes, I live in OREGON! and love it so much (except when it's raining! LOL!)

It feels like summer outside right now as it is already 74F at 11 am. I like to sit outside and smell the lavender and mint in my gardens while sipping some peppermint tea and knitting a sock. Yes, a wool sock at that. Well, not when the humidity is really high because that is when you will find me in a nice a/c cooled house.

Pineapple juice and mint in iced tea is nice. I have a recipe for a Hawaiian iced tea that is keep in the refrigerator in the summer heat.

user4897 03/28/2007 #

I love natural fiber yarns...all colors but I tend to stay away from pastels. I tend towards bright yellows, greens, oranges especially in the summer.

As for beverages, I am a sweet tea and lemonade girl. Unless I am pulling into Sonic, then it is Vanilla Coke.

I live in Texas where it is 150 degrees with high humidity ;-) so anything to help me feel cool would be appreciated.

jamaicamom 03/29/2007 #

I love to knit socks with wild wacky yarn! I love crystal light lemonade. THis is just what I needed. Great idea!

user4688 04/ 1/2007 #

So now partners are assigned, please have fun for this one I know I will. For those you did not post preferences here be sure that your beverage preferences are here in the comments so you can enjoy it on the deck this summer.

For my partner, I do love iced tea and lemonade, coffee too but can experimented anything, for the yarn anything, in the summer I usually knit with cotton blend but it's not necessary. Summer related items is your world... I love summer time on my deck.

So everybody have fun and Happy swapping!

nifferjjl1980 04/ 1/2007 #

I wouldn't mind some sock yarn! Or anything wool. Not too crazy of colors please!

hookedonstring1 04/ 1/2007 #

Yay! I have my partner. This one is going to be fun. I love Summer. I love the beach. I love flip floppin around and kickin' back.

First off, I'm admitting it here and now. I am a new sock knitter and I need practice so sock yarn would be so cool. Any color is fine too. You can surprise me.

I drink ice tea, lemonaide, and flavored waters in the summer. Too bad you cant send margaritas, pina colatas, and daquris in the mail. DANG!

Happy Swapping! Summer's on it's way!

knitster 04/ 2/2007 #

i'm so glad to get my partner. She has a great profile and I can't wait to start shopping!

hookedonstring1 04/ 8/2007 #

Thank you to my partner who sent me a Easter e-card. So cute. I hope you had a wonderful Easter too. Thank you again. It made my day!!

jamaicamom 04/ 9/2007 #

I just received my beautiful kit from Sarah. It was way too much, she outdid herself. Everything was thoughtful and very springy. Thank you so much. I wish I could give her a "10"

knitster 04/26/2007 #

I still have not recieved a package or heard anything from my partner yet-getting a little discouraged.

user4897 04/27/2007 #

Like AmyandPaul, I haven't heard anything from my swap mate either...

hookedonstring1 04/27/2007 #

Woo Hoo! Thanks so much Shannon I LOVE my package!! Fun stuff !!! Andi

arentyouthatgirl 04/27/2007 #

Gina,

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I must admit I made a BIG mistake opening your package in front of my mom! There were several of the goodies I had a hard time convincing her to let me take home with me! The stitch markers were awesome. I will get a picture in the gallery later today (I hope.)

Oh, before I forget, peppermint is my favorite flavor of tea. How did you guess?

user4688 04/27/2007 #

Deb, I'm very happy that you like the things I've send.

knitster 05/ 1/2007 #
