Description: | |
I hosted this swap about 2 years ago and had lots of fun making and receiving these fun balls. I am a big fan of Alma Stoller's zines and blog. She had pictured a yarn (included laces, ribbons, yarns, etc.) ball that she had put together a few years back. She shows an example of knitting with this selfmade yarn. In this swap you will make a yarn and other materials "ball". Think of things like lace, ribbons, all types of yarns and other trims. Maybe some fabric scraps cut into strips. Let's use up some of the small scraps we have. Your ball should have at least 10 yards of materials (more is even better) and I won't put an exact number on how many different types of materials you should have but let's try to use as many as possible. If you want to your could hide a surprise inside the ball for your partner to find. Just have fun! I don't knit but I do use lots of trims in 'Arting Take at look at this: http://almastoller.typepad.com/almastoller/2008/02/knitting-into-t.html As it says on most other swaps, you should have at least a 4.7 and no 1's in the past 3 months. Newbies with complete profiles welcome. Since this should not be expensive we will each have 2 partners. That is you will send one yarn ball to 2 people. I will review profiles and ratings and ban as needed. |
