Details of swap:
Well, despite Global Warming , Winter's coldness is coming.
But nobody wants to touch a freezing Ipod! Just like you want to be cozy and need to wear a jacket, so does your Ipod! This swap will be a fun and easy, no stress swap. All you must do to participate is to crochet, knit, sew, felt or any other form of craft an Ipod cozy. It can have a pattern, design, picture, Initials of your partners name, or anything else that you would like.It could also be a monster or creature cozy. This cozy will cover the entire Ipod, there will be no hole for the screen or circle, unless you cover the hole with plastic or some material and not leave it out in the open. Communicate with your partner whether or not they would like this. I will try to match people with others who have the same type of Ipod. However if this is not possible, I will post the measurements of the Ipods. You may make a strap for the cozy or a hole at the bottom for the earphones. You may make the cozy big enough to fit the headphones inside. Any other ideas or questions you may post here. You must have a DC tracking number as proof that you have mailed out. After recieving you must post pictures or inform your partner beforehand that you will not be able to post pictures and if they could please take them for you. You may put the cozy in a regular envelope if the cozy fits.

I sent you the questionnaire   

[Astica]

Man is this tempting :/
But I don't know if I'll have enough room D:

I'll think about it <3

[TheLilCrocheter]

you don't have enough room for what??/

come on join! you know you want to

its a quick fun and easy swap
( I feel like one of those infomercials that keeps repeating the same thing over and over!)

Hahah!  I kept telling my mother that it would be quick and easy (just in case I needed a trip to the post office... though highly unlikely).  Astica, you should join! 

[Astica]

Oh I know it's quick!
Just I've been intense-swapping XD I'm close to my 5 spots, so I'm waiting for something to arrive before I sign up for something else ><

Also, question!
I have two ipods (a mini and an 'old' nano)
Would I be able to have two swap partners? (I make for two people & two people each make me one ipod cozy) Or are we only allowed one partner each?

I was actually just thinking about this!!! I'm sure I could arrange this if you join but if it gets too problematic I may ask you to choose one iPod although I see no reason that it should.

[Astica]

I don't see any reason why it would be problematic, but I guess it's good to think of the worst case senario - so whatever happens has to be better 

I'm also generally an early sender, so I won't be too much of a hassle for you (If someone flaked that was making two, it'd be harder to get angels in place. But I can personally guarentee you that I will not be a flaker.)

I think it would be a great idea   
I just have one question:
since I am a first-time swapper, and I am not aloud to have more than one swap going on until I have successfully completed one swap, would this count as two for me, or not (I surely hope not, but it seems like it)?
