This round we are focusing on "wear", and getting ready for the fall.
There will be a mandatory stalking period of 3 weeks! No packages may be sent before July 24th.
The swap runs through August 22nd. ALL package must be sent by/on August 22nd.
Minimum package value = $35 + shipping
Must include 2-3 skeins of malabrigo (no MORE or LESS) - this limit includes any knitting/crocheting you do for your partner. i.e. if a hat takes 1 skein, you can only send an additional 1-2 skeins.
This round you need to EITHER
- Knit your partner an item from your type of wear (question threads will allow you to make small preference comments)
- Send a kit so their partner may knit themselves their type of wear, including the pattern, appropriate yarn and needles (those who are picky about needles may opt out their partner having to send needles).
You must respond to all the Q & Check In threads w/in 3 days. (unless you have permission from the swap mods- i.e. you will be on a pre-planned internet free vacation)
If not, you face possible expulsion from the swap group.
Please let us know if you are unable to complete the swap - at anytime after registration. We will work to re-assign your partners.
Email your responses to the following questions to: malabrigo.swap@gmail.com
- Name
- Address
- Rav ID
- Previous partners (PLEASE just list them with commas, we don't care if they were up or down stream or which round- if you just do it with commas, it makes our lives MUCH easier when we're adding it to the database)

Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky form the Banana Splits
Emma Peel from the Avengers. Or maybe Morticia Adams from The Adams Family. - ninaknits

Pippi Longstocking. Oh yeah, her with the pirates was my favorite.

First tv crush? Ricky Schroeder and Jason Bateman from Silver Spoons. I still have the Jason Bateman crush.
JEN aka CupcakeJenny
I loved the little guys that built the crystal structures that the Fraggles ate in Fraggle Rock.
I also loved this character from Nickelodean that no one else seems to remember - she had really fuzzy hair like a bird's nest and always had birds in her hair - but she also always pulled cool stuff out of her hair which became the topic of the show.
oops - I'm pikkle on Rav, too. Sorry. It won't let me edit it. :(
Illya Kuryakin was soooooo cool -
David McCallum still looks good!

Herve Villechaize as Tattoo from Fantasy Island. "De plane, boss, de plane!"
Ildolcesuono...and it should be clear from my current Ravatar! Wonder Woman!!! :)
The first TV character I remember loving was Strawberry Shortcake. I had a Strawberry Shortcake doll, bike and kitchen!
Smurfette! I wanted my own little mushroom house just like her.
Didn't watch too much TV as a kid, so this is hard. I would probably have to say the Yellow Ranger from Power Rangers. It was nice to identify with a strong Asian female when my parents were white and the town I grew up in was all white too.

I didn't watch TV as a child so not sure this counts. In High school it was a tie between Jarod of Pretendar and the main actor on JAG.

Hmm - young kid probably all the smurfs. Sligtly older, loved Kirk Cameron as Mike Seaver and Tony Danza on Who's the Boss! (goes to hide head now)
Yay I'm a veteran!

Mary Poppins!
NotMyElliott- better late than never.....
Jem and the Holograms- mom made me the best halloween costume I had pink hair and everything!
Wow, this is a hard question! When I was much younger my favortie characters were Hello Kitty (that's how I learned fairy tales!) and David the Knome. That episode with the bunnies in the flood--man that was powerful. When I was a little older I though DJ from Full House was so cool.
Oh yes, and I'm Jacqui722 on ravelry!
yikes, away from computer all day so I hope I'm not too late. Loved Zorro, Jim West from Wild, Wild West, Cisco Kid, Emma Peel, Chilly Willie, Hot Stuff, and Pepe LePew.
