The first ever Pretending Sanity Scarf Swap Spectacular!
I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile now and I figured the beginning of the year was a good time.
Presenting the first ever Pretending Sanity Scarf Swap Spectacular!
Here’s how it works:
Each person who wants to participate will make a set number of scarf “squares.” For example purposes, we’ll say 10 people sign up. Each person will make 10 squares. You will send those squares to me, along with a postage paid return envelope. Each scarf will have a square from each participating person, I will sew these together. I will then mail a scarf to each participant.
Squares can be knit, sewn, fabric, crochet, (fake)fur, ribbon, embroidered, screen printed, just about any media you want (as long as it’s comfy around the neck!).
Comment to this post if you want to sign up (be sure you include your real email address.) I will limit the number of participants so I won’t have to sew together tons of scarves! so sign up quick if you want to participate.
Once everybody is signed up, I’ll email you with the details, ie: the number of squares and size that you need to make and my address and the deadline date.
This is going to be fantastic!!!
email me if you have any questions.

Me, me, me!!! I want to play! Do all of a person’s squares need to be the same? I imagine so, but I thought I would ask. Thanks for doing this!

Ohhh, sign me up! And be sure to get us details too — like how big the squares need to be and what Sarah asked, lol.
Yay, fun!

Me too, Me too! I’m new to knitting too, Elizabeth, but this will be fun!

You can make your squares however you want them to be, just as long as they are the TBD size. No, they don’t all have to be the same.
And remember, they don’t have to be knit, they can be fabric or crochet or anything like that!

I’ve recently started reading your blog, and this is my first comment. Your idea sounds like a lot of fun. If you willing to let a newbie person join in the fun, I’d love to participate! I knitter and general crafter. :-) (I found the link to your blog through someone else’s blog roll, though I admit I’m not sure whose it was – maybe Pesky Apostrophe?) let me know if I can join in the fun, thanks!

December 30th, 2004 at 2:24 pm
I’m in too!

Oh gawd, I was hoping someone else would ask. But since no one has, I’ll have to because it’s bothering me — what is “TBD”?

T-o B-e D-etermined :)
