OK- here's the knitty-gritty details:
MANADATORY Stalking period: thru January 24th. - no packages can be sent till after the stalking period
All packages MUST be sent by February 21st.
Minimum package value = $35
Must include 2-3 skeins of Malabrigo (No more than 3 skeins)
Yarn may be stash yarn- if it is what your partner would like, and is good condition (i.e. not frogged & re-wound, etc).
The swap is about creating a personal, creative package for another Malabrigo Lover. Often those creative, personal touches mean the most to the person receiving the package!
You are required to complete the weekly check in, they will be posted on Friday morning, and you have till Monday evening to respond to them. If you do not respond to the thread, you will be contacted by your moderator.
You are required to answer all of the Question threads (posted about twice a week). Again, if you do not post within 3 days, you will be contacted by your moderator. If you do not respond to your Moderator within 2 days, you will be given warning, if you do not respond within 3 days to the warning, you will be removed from the swap. We expect people to be checking the swap board frequently (every other day), so you shouldn't have this problems).
If you are no posting your responses, and you are not responding to Moderator PMs or Emails, we will expect that you have left the swap, and you will be unable to participate in the future.
If you are going on vacation/will be offline for a period of time during the swap, please let one of the moderators know ASAP. This will allow us to let your partner know why you aren't posting.
If for some reason, you are unable to complete the swap, please let one of the moderators know ASAP- this will allow us to re-assign your partner. We understand that things happen, cars break, furnaces go out, people loose their jobs. Let us know, cause we'd rather have you back after things have gotten settled, then add you to the Naughty Swapper List because you didn't follow through.
If you understand, and agree to all of these conditions, please reply to this post, include your Ravelry ID and state what your favorite cookie is.

Hi all - I am ninaknits, and I promise to be a good swapper and follow all the rules. I adore cookies of all types, but if I had to choose just one it would have to be a classic homemade chocolate chip cookie without nuts. XOXO, Nina
I'm in and I agree! WritingMom is super excited!
PS: My favorite cookies are M&M cookies!
Oh yeah! I have read everything and I agree. I will be OOT for a week and I am unsure of the Internet access. Will let my mod know when the time comes.

I'm with Patti- Peanut Butter cookies. Or with Kelly in the chocolate chips. I dunno. Maybe oatmeal raisin.
Anyway, I agree of course, and I'm IN!

I have read and agree with all terms. My ID- ninja8tofu. My favorite cookie is hard to decide since I LOVE COOKIES. I guess it's a tie between, gingersnaps(chewy), chocolate chunk, and sugar cookies(unfrosted).
-ninja8tofu
I agree to the rules, absolutely and without worry! My Ravelry username is Hannahbelle, and my favorite cookies, I cannot spell. They're little german almond cookies dipped in powdered sugar. Spelled something like pfefferneussen - my family has made them for generations.
Yup, what they said.
My favorite cookie is either a freshly baked ooey-gooey chocolate chip or a thumbprint cookie with homemade jam or jelly in the middle!
Hi, I'm excited to participate in this swap! I just love Malabrigo and think this group is so friendly. My favorite cookie is a caramel-filled Dutch waffle cookie called Stroopwafel.
My Rav ID is joanie1803.
I'm ready for round 5! I promise to follow all the rules and be a good swapper. I love cookies, my favorite is probably white chocolate macadamia nut.
I, cephalopodlover, agree to be a good swap partner and to spoil my swap pal rotten. And, Yes, I agree to all of the terms and conditions! I wouldn't want to miss out on all of the fun!
Favorite cookie? Right now I would have to say that would be the Trader Joe's Peppermint Jo Jo's. They're like an Oreo but with candy cane bits in the filling.
-cephalopodlover (or Laura...my Ravelry name is kind of ridiculous)
I'm totally in! Haven't missed around yet and I'm not about to start now. LMAO

Fave cookie has always been the Mrs. Field Dark Chocolate chip with pecans! Mmm... haven't had one in maybe 10 years...
I read all the instructions and I promise to be a good swapper.
My favorite cookie? Mmmm, tough but Meltaways are the first thing to come to mind so that must be it.
Can't wait to get started!
-dancingsheep
I agree, understand, etc., and bow in awe to the dedication of the long list of swappers who got up earlier than I did.
My favorite cookie is anything with peanut butter in it.
(The only part I didn't understand the first time is that I have to tell you that I'm sfcorgi.)
I agree to everything. This is Irunnaked and my favorite cookies are chocolate peanutbutter chip
I agree to all the terms, and will fully comply to all the rules. My fav cookie is chocolate chip, but would love recipes for other kinds of cookies. My rav ID is bravebird.
I agree to all terms. My stalking skills are primed and ready to get the bestest package for whoever I get paired with.
I love anything with peanut butter and I really hope Duncks doesn't want to eat me since I'm chrispy but not a cookie. Please don't eat me, Dunkie.
This tis rchrispy signing off
Can't wait for round 5!!! My fav cookie is oatmeal raisin (does that make me sound old?)

I am weak for a good old fashioned chocolate chip cookie, preferably still warm!
- Jettachicky
I choose to accept this mission and promise NOT to be a naughty swapper!
As for cookies, I love these little round buttery cookies we have always called Russian Wedding Cakes. They have ground-up nuts in them, and my mom always makes a batch special for me without the nuts. mmm.

I'm ready! I'll follow the rules, I'll pirate internet like it's nobodies business and actually try to stay up with you ridiculous chatterboxes (I'm behind by 1000's of posts right now). My favorite cookies are probably monster cookies (peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chip/m&ms, ridiculousness).
