Small Project Knit Kit Swap

Do you like working on projects that can easily be taken with you to work, appointments, on the bus/subway, in the car, on vacation, etc?? I know I do!

This round of the Knit Kit swap is for small projects -- socks, lace scarves, baby items, kitchen goodies like dishcloths/potholders, pocketbooks,washcloths,etc. Any projects that you enjoy knitting and can take on-the-go!

This round of the Knit Kit swap will be a PRIVATE SWAP. That means that signups are by invitation only. This will cut down on flakes -- I want everyone to have a good time, and to know that their package will be arriving! If you know any great swappers who would enjoy this swap, just PM me their email address and I'll invite them to join in. Reliable, good swappers ONLY please!!!

Please fill out the swap survey (I will be adding it here very soon!!) and post to the swap page so that your partner knows what sort of small project you want to make, and about your other preferences/allergies, etc. I encourage everyone to contact their partners and get to know them -- that just makes the exchange more fun for everyone! And we all end up making new friends that way as well!

Knit Kit packages should have a minimum value of $25

Kits should include:

1. Yarn, pattern,knitting needles and notions to complete a small knitted project (please send the type of project kit requested by your partner (i.e...socks, scarf, etc).

2. A small knitting bag that the project could call home. :)Store bought, hand made - it's your choice. :) There's lots of cute little bags out there that could be used to carry small knitting projects!

3. Summer or vacation related goodies -- for example, puzzle books for in the car, travel cup/mug, easily toteable knitting supplies, a book, flip flops.....just summer fun/trip related goodness to go with your knit kit.

Please don't send cheap acrylic yarns, broken knitting needles, or other unusable/undesirable items to your partner. Send out a package that you would love to receive, and your partner will also love it!

Just have fun with this swap -- give your package a theme if you like, decorate the box, send a fun pattern....whatever strikes you! Be creative and have a good time! That's what swapping is all about!!
