Details of swap:
This is a granny square swap!!! If you don't know how to make a granny square you cand find some basic crochet instructions
here.
Swappers will be crocheting thirty 7 inch granny squares and will be partnered with 5 people and sending them each 6 squares.
All motifs MUST be made in 4-ply worsted weight acrylic yarn, or if you're in the UK the yarn equivalent will be 10-ply aran. Please be sure to check your gauge to make sure your motifs are the correct size. We wouldn't want to receive some motifs that are 6 1/2" and some that are 7 1/2". Your motifs should measure as close to a 7" square as possible. Size is important!!!
Weaving in the tails: The directions call for a 6" tail to be left at the end. Depending on their joining method, some folks might prefer to have that outside end woven in. There is a question on the questionnaire for you to express a preference. All starting tails must be woven in!
Positive feedback on this swap will be left once your partners have all received, and once you have posted pics of what you have received. You must remember to PM the organizer when you SEND and RECEIVE (a post in the thread is not sufficient)! Please make a note in the subject of the PM with a SEND or RECIEVE. Poor communication and failure to post pics of what you received will be noted in your feedback if you do not. Thanks!
