Ready for another swap? Closed!

This swap is now closed. Thank you.

Thank you all for signing up for the craft box swap. It's going to be so much fun!

As I told you in my last post, I've had a few ideas for some lovely, cheap swaps. Are you ready to hear about the second one?

Laalaa's Blanket Squares swap! We all want a crocheted or knitted blanket to snuggle under but we don't always have the staying power to complete one. Well, I don't anyway. So I thought it would be nice to share the load and all make a square for each other.

Now, I know that there are a few other similar ideas floating around blogland at the moment so I hope those of you who knit or crochet will be up for another swap

Let me, as always, state a few rules first of all.

This swap is UK only.

This swap is a blog swap, therefore, you must have a current blog.

To join the swap you must be a follower of my blog.

The idea is that we each knit or crochet at least one square for everyone else on the list. Then we will all have enough squares to make something with and it will be a lovely, blog friend blanket, cushion, lap blanket etc. You don't have to be an expert knitter/crocheter as the squares will all be different and the beauty of it will be that there will be basic squares alongside more experienced ones. It will all add to the loveliness.

I am a very fast crocheter and knitter so I don't mind making a few more if anyone is short of the amount they need.

I suggest that we either make 6" or a 12" squares. That way, they can be made up to 12" squares and thus make a larger blanket if necessary whilst still having small enough squares to make a small project.

So what do you think? Do you fancy snuggling under a bloggy blankie?

Like this one. This blanket shows that you can have some plain squares and the blanket will still be lovely.

Or this one. This one shows that the squares don't all have to be the same size.
