Ongoing Wish Swap Round 80-82 Discussion thread

[babalina58]

Welcome to the 80's!!!!

This is always my go to swap along with the Ongoing Pinterest Swap.  I like being able to choose what I craft.

yah me too but the only thing about the Pin one and same with Supplies is you only HAVE to send one but can receive 10 you know just to me not so fair! Like in the Supply one I sent 3 was claimed for 4 BUT I am doing a bunch of cutouts for a wedding for one so not a big deal it is really like 4 for 4   just makes me crazy to see people receive so much and give so little..I would feel weird and just aweful greedy if I rolled like that...Just me and just saying..Love the Pins and the pin org is a love of ours that is for sure..You dont see it as much in pin as supply

Going to send my questionnaire in later tonight or tomorrow. I really missed claiming last round but I'm all caught up on my crafting and should be able to claim once or twice this round.

I agree with that.  I always try to claim as many times as I have been claimed and I try to claim people who haven't been claimed as much towards the end.

I know in the supply Swap currently going on I was claimed a lot more than I sent out. But I did find other swaps to claim people in that were in the supply swap and still sent them the supplies they wanted along with whatever claim i had made from another swap. In the end, I still feel good about myself because I did still send more than just one package, just went about it a different way.

I decided to join the swap! I thought I've been in a OWS before, but I don't have one on my profile, so I must have just gotten it mixed up with STS and other Ongoing Swaps. I'm going to start making my list tonight after work so it'll be ready for claiming!

And that is the reason I didn't join the Pinterest swap, I like the idea of equal claiming much better!

One of the things I put down on my list is a travelling crochet bag. I crochet on the train to work, but stuffing the piece in my backpack with my laptop etc. is really not working: sometimes my work unravels, my hook gets lost, my different colours of yarn tangle, it gets stuck in the velcro or between the zipper... Plenty to make you go mental! I haven't found what I wanted online, so I made this sketch:



Do you guys think this is clear enough to work with, or should I try and make a better sketch?

It is very cool really a great idea and some of the pure talent here will maybe hook your right up Me, HAHA I am one that for things like that need a pattern and with a MASSIVE move coming up I could not claim for something so large and time consuming as I am under the gun now...

WE WILL OPEN ( YEP YELLING WITH EXCITEMENT) at 12:01 tonight WOOT WOOT (ish)

It looks like a very useful bag!  The picture is good but a couple of questions
The blue printing at the bottom is so pale that I can't read it at all. Can you make it a darker color? 
And, what sort of clasp would you want for attaching the current loop?  I don't crochet so I'm not sure what you would want. 
And what sort of size do you have in mind?  Those would all be helpful things to know.
