The rules and regs
Hi everyone!! Celia and I have learned a few things from our first round of the international scarf exchange. We've come up with a few R&R for your perusal. If you have questions, please check Celia's blog for an explanation of our quirkier rules before emailing us...
1. Minimum to spend: $20 USD for the scarf only. $25 USD for scarf set exchange. Anything above those minimums is at your discretion. If you decide to use handspun, please spend $10 USD on the materials.
**if you cannot commit to spending this minimum, please drop out now by emailing either Celia or Cynthia HERE
2. This swap is international, so postage has not been included in the minimum cost. We will be trying to make as many international exchanges as possible.
3. Materials - The questionnaire/interview is a guideline. Please respect allergies and dislikes. However, just b/c your pal likes cashmere doesn't mean you need to buy it... unless you REALLY want to. If you have any concerns that your pal might be allergic to your choice of yarn, please check with them before you start knitting.
4. Use this opportunity to try a new pattern or stitch!! Now is the time to try new styles, and patterns. You don't have to go out and buy a new scarf book just for this exchange. There is a wide range of free patterns on the web, so why not try one of them? It is assumed that all scarves are knitted. If you would like to make a woven, crochet or felted scarf, please check with your pal before proceeding.
5. Pals will be allocated around 15th November. You will be notified of any delays.
6. We're aiming for the scarves to be RECEIVED by February 15th, 2006. Please keep that in mind if you are assigned an international pal. Please let us or your pal know if you are delayed for any reason.
7. Folks who sign up and don't keep their end of the bargain will be banned from future exchanges. (Yes, we do keep a list).
8. If you want to get to know your pal but keep your identity a secret, please set up an anonymous email acct with either gmail, yahoo, or hotmail. Contact us if you'd like a gmail account.
9. Please post about your progress at least once a month to this blog. It's ok if you have no KNIT progress (procrastinators, unite!) but we'd like to know you're thinking about your project. Anything like choosing yarn, a pattern, etc can be an update!
10. Enjoy it!
