INTERNATIONAL!!!

I love crocheting 8" squares and thought it would be nice to collect enough squares (both crocheted & knitted) from around the world to make a "Worldwide Friendship Afghan":)

Both crocheters and knitters are invited to join in the fun!!! For this swap you will crochet or knit (whichever you prefer) 4 8" squares and will send 2 each to 2 partners. Each square MUST have atleast 2 or more different colors. Please do not send solid colored squares! This is a great way to use up some of those scraps you have laying around:)))

Choice of yarn, pattern and colors are up to the sender, but be sure to make each square with atleast 2 different colors of yarn....ok???

Newbies are welcome with a fully filled out profile. Seasoned swappers must have a 4.8 rating with no no-sends within the past 6 months and no unexplained 3 ratings. I will check profiles and will ban anyone that does not meet these standards!

I will try to angel if we happen to have any flakers, or if I am unable to angel at the time I will find an angel for you....fair enough??? If you flake on this swap I will shout it from the highest mountain top!!!

Ok.....let the fun begin:)))

Are you limiting to a "standard/basic" granny square or more elaborate patterns?, hexagon, circle, etc.

OT Last year our knitting group finished an afghan made up of squares of all kinds of colors and sizes and it's beautiful - but was a challenge to put together. I'd like to have one like that.

Oh no....not limited to traditional granny squares! Any pattern, any color can be used. The squares can be as elaborate or as simple as you want to make them:) As long as they measure within 1/4" either way of 8" square anything goes:)))

That's what makes these friendship ghans so special, seeing all the different types of squares everyone makes:) Will make a beautiful ghan:) The more different and unique the squares the better:)))

Has anyone heard from @camdam888 yet? She has not been online since October 1st and no communication. Swap is not marked sent either. Hope all is okay.
