Details of swap:
This swap is for people who can either sew, knit or crochet and want something that they can't make. It is for ONE item. If you and your partner decide to make a few items that is fine but most people will send one time intensive item.

Edited to add: If the two partners agree, you can send more than one item. If someone is making one time intensive item the other person can make a few extra things to make it fair. Its really up to the partners. Feel free to post on this board if ther is an  item you *really* want and I will see who is willing to do what. I really want everyone to be happy and get something they want.

ooo, im lurking around on the internet and i see this! woohoo!! ive pmed pinkmafia!  

[craftykate]

I'm excited for this one. I'll send my PM soon.

[snacker]

Yea!  This is exciting! 

I just learned how to sew but still totally a beginner.  I have loved all the fabric in the first swap...especially the skirts (and spring is coming!!!!).

[craftydame]

what size of item are you think PinkMafia?

i DESPERATELY DESPERATELY want someone to make me a sweater, but i know that's a huge request. (i saw someone walking down the street wearing a skully, and i NEED one)

but i'd be totally willing to do multiple sewn items in exchange....

[miss brianne]

I am so tempted by this because I cannot knit to save my soul and it seems that everything I pine for is knitted.
However. I would also like to know about size of items because while I have been sewing since I was 8 I am not extremly confident in my sewing skillz. I also cannot follow directions, no matter how many times I read them something inside of me makes me do the opposite. But it always works out!

[PinkMafia]

If someone is willing to make you a sweater for a bunch of sewn items thats fine with me. I think that its good to vocalize on the thread what you want and people can comment on what they'd be willing to make. I have a really cool idea for a knit or crotchet bag with a holder so thats what I want to make.

[snacker]

Oh, yes. 

Vocalizing:  I love to make knitted then felted bags.  I don't why but I am obsessed!  Obsessed!  With little cellphone holders, of course.

[peachsorbet]

I'll send my PM in soon, but what I really want is Knitty's Zaftig.  Anyone out there willing to make it? I'll crochet. http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer04/PATTzaftig.html

[bente]

Hey peachsorbet, if I get anyone to send me the yarn, since I cant get it here in germany I would knit zaftig for you. I would love a pair of crocheted socks, can you do that?
