The goal of this swap is to produce and receive little pieces of crocheted art.
Use beautiful yarns, color combinations, and patterns. Don't feel pressured to be perfect
, the fun is in the cute little gems that show up in the mail, like little surprise gifts from blogville friends!
If you want to be in the swap, the rules are simple....First.....reply to this post with your numbered answers to these questions: (helps your fellow swapper know what you like)
4) When you are not crocheting, what is it that you love to do?
5) Name three things that you like.
After y'all post,you'll be given another blogger to "make for". You can then get their info, Use the answers from the questionaire post to make two dishcloths for them! You're swap is complete when 1. You have sent and received your dishcloths and 2. you've either posted pics on your blog with a link back to this site or, if you don't have a blog, email the pics of your received dishcloths to me so I can post them FOR you!
Then, when you've completed your swap, ONE of you will receive this "Giveaway":
Two skeins of crochet yarn, one crochet hook, and a crochet pattern booklet!
*NOTE* Winner is chosen by writing all names on a scrap of paper, placing them into a bowl, and having my 3yr old or 5yr old pick one! (Technical, I know, but I wouldn't have it any other way!)
Not sure what you want to do? I'll help ya out with some links at the end of this post...sky's the limit! Those of you who don't crochet much, or never have, dishcloths are the PERFECT starter project!
Material choices: Cotton yarn is the most frequently used material, however, many people mix it with felted wool for a scrubbier cloth, and/or tulle(netting) cut into strips for a scrubbie!
Most of the time you don't have to worry about guage size or crochet hook size with these little beauties, it's usually more about getting the right sized finished product!
Links for FREE dishcloth patterns:
Crochet Pattern Central has a TON of them in a basic directory, I love this one!
Tipnut has some nice ones with picture thumbnails.
Shh...I'm Counting! has tawashi patterns..(love these!)
