OMG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!! And, I think I may have a vest that will work.

Did you put elastic around the edges?

I thought I had posted this suggestion earlier today,  but it seems to have disappeared. Ah... technology.

I'm pregnant, and I'm sure there are other pregnant craftsters, or some with new babies... and I thought it would be fun to swap some crafts.

I'll be making hooded towels, bibs, etc. for BTB, and it would be fun to swap with others doing similar things.

What do you think?

-Michelle

I'm pregnant, and figure there are other pg crafters or women with babies -- how about "make something for my new baby"?

I'll be crafting for BTB anyway, and it would be fun to swap bibs, blankies, hooded towels, etc. w/other crafty mamas.

Bummer! I was wondering why I hadn't gotten my partner info, and then couldn't find this swap in the "closed to signups but active" forum.

Can the new organizers PM those of us who signed up originally when the new swap is set?

Thanks.

I received from mdsvc89!!! no lie, my tin is the BEST. TIN. EVER.

will post pics when i get ahold of a camera. 

You are too kind! I had a great time thinking it up, and putting it together! PLEASE do post pix -- I can't believe I didn't get around to taking any myself!

OOPS... correction... EVERY row should be knit!

-Michelle

The pattern is from my head :-)

It worked like this -- cast on enough stitches.
Knit first 2 rows w/no additions/subtractions.
On the 3rd row and every odd row, knit 1, k2tog, k to 1 stiche increase w/your favorite increase.
Every even row:purl.

Change colors when the spirit moves you. I had more black than white, and kept that in mind.

I like the idea of spelling somethiing in morse code or as a barcode, but I didn't.

OK -- I started getting worried that I had somehow gotten confused and missed sendouts -- we have until 11/11, right?

-Michelle (who is leaving on vacation tomorrow with a 1/2 knitted scarf in her bag...)

Social life? Who said anything about a social life?
School, family, job interviews, finishing the girl's halloween costume,
oh, and lying around being nauseated (pregnant! YAY!!!)

-Michelle

Wow, you guys are organized! There's no way I'm going to start crafting on this until I get home from vacation! I do have a great plan (which will need DH's help, but he's game...)

I started worrrying that sendouts were really soon...
