I am on Ravelry. If you are a knitter and don’t know ravelry well your missing out. Here it is….Ravelry. It’s a place for the knitter and crocheter alike.
I have been in two swaps since the fall. What a blast they are. You get to know a ton of people but you spoil one person. You learn everything you can about that person through emails, stalking (I mean reading their blogs), or anything else they might do (etsy). Then at the end of the swap you send your spoilee a package with things they might like. There are monetary limits and usually a theme but there’s more fun than anything.
So on to my post…..I am a part of the Hogwarts swap. There are a ton of Hogwarts swaps on Ravelry. This one is different. We are going to try (and I think the moderators are doing a wonderful job) and do terms with our swap. This is the “first year” and we are all going to do hats as one of the first year presents. My spoiler is from Gryffindor and my spoilee is a Ravenclaw. This should be fun. I have found some interesting patterns for hats. And a really cool hat that I can change the color and put a design on it. It’s a witches hat (for the lack of a better description). I can put some stiffening agent in it to make it stand up right. But I have to make sure this is what my swapper wants.
So the term started on the 1st and we already have some assignments. One of the requirements is to post on your blog or the swap blog It’s a cool blog and should be interesting since there will be a lot of people posting to it. Also you can see what some of our assignments are.
I am off to do my first assignment. It’s an owl and you have to post some verbage about the owl.
Look for my post on that.
Later
