Description:

USA ONLY!!! If someone would like to host an international version of this swap feel free to do so!

I am brand new to Swap-bot and this is my first ever time hosting a swap, so please bear with me and please feel free to make any suggestions you feel would be helpful as I dive

When I piece together my granny squares I like to add solid color "filler" grannies in between the assorted colorful grannies. I think the solid grannies add a lot of beauty to any ghan:)

So, for this swap you will make 2 7" grannies for your partner. The grannies MUST be made using the old traditional granny square pattern using 4-ply acrylic yarn and MUST be made with only one color per granny. When you sign up for this swap please post a comment as to what color you would like to receive. When partners are assigned you will need to make grannies in your partner's preferred color. Sound good???

Here is a website which shows the pattern and visual tutorials of how to make a traditional granny square. Just copy and paste the following into your browser: http://crochet.about.com/od/learntocrochet/ss/CrochetGrannySquare.htm

So to recap this swap, you will send 2 7" solid color traditional grannies to your partner in the color your partner's choosing using 4-ply acrylic yarn. If you have any questions feel free to ask:)

ON AND ONE LAST THING!!! If you say that you would like to receive tan squares. Your partner gets to choose the shade she sends you. We can't go getting too precise like stating a particular exact color. We don't want swappers to have to run out and buy a particular yarn if they have different shades of your chosen color laying around,.

Being that I am a newbie here I know how difficult it is to be accepted into the many swaps going on here. So, I am going to allow all swappers both newbies and old-timers. If you are an experienced swapper you must have a 9.8 rating with no bad ratings within the past 6 months and newbies must have a well filled out profile. I will be more than happy to angel if necessary, but hopefully we won't have a need for angels here:) PLEASE DO NOT JOIN IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO SEND!!!

HAPPY SWAPPING!!!

what color should the solid blocks be? I like doing either black or browns for them

stitchqueen 03/24/2014 #

Well, I was going to leave it up to the sender to choose the color. I am thinking maybe I should change that and let each person post in the comments what color they would like to receive then the sender will send what their partner request.

Thankyou dakotadee. I think that is a good idea:)

If you get my name, I am open to any color :)

crbertsch 03/24/2014 #

Whatever color my partner chooses works for me.

mumsie 03/25/2014 #

Super idea. I'm good with whatever I'm sent... Thank you...

What a great idea! Thanks for the invite! I love so many colors, so the sender's choice is fine. (They do not even need to match!)

KathyB 03/26/2014 #

Send me your favorite color...I don't have one love all of them!

Elanah 03/30/2014 #

Sender's choice is great, but I would prefer that they not be the same. Thanks!

stitchqueen 03/31/2014 #

I am going to leave the color choice up to my partner. I can always use solid colored blocks in any colors, but I would actually prefer tan/beige, white or black, but any colors will be fine! Please make each square a different color:)

Any color is fine for me

lonleyassassin 04/ 3/2014 #

I need some blues, browns, and/or tans. But I will love it if you send me other colors (I have two projects going....one includes blues, browns, and tans, and the other is made of rainbows.)

I'm so excited!

Momskii 04/12/2014 #

It doesn't matter to me what color, I'm open to anything.

onyx95 04/13/2014 #

Really like this swap, I am also open to any color - like others, I would like them to each be different colors.

MuhBerriez 04/14/2014 #

I love any color as well! My favorite color is purple though. Looking forward to this swap!
