Malabrigo Swap Registration

Registration, as always is 2 parts, you must complete BOTH parts to be registered. You'll be earburned on Ravelry once you complete your registration. (Also, please introduce yourself on the thread if you're a new swapper!)

We do have some rules here- so please read, and if you agree to them comment to this post with your response to the question below- please make sure to include your Rav id- so we know who you are.

The details:
  • Minimum package value = $40 + 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.
  • The mandatory stalking period runs through October 15th- packages may NOT be sent till after the 15th.
  • All packages must be sent by November 12th.
  • You must respond to all the Question & 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)- these threads are posted frequently, so you HAVE to be checking ravelry at least every other day.
  • If you do not complete the questions, and are not responding to moderator PMs & emails, you face possible expulsion from the swap group, and having your name added to the Ravelry "naughty swapper" list.
Some other things to keep in mind before signing up
  • You will need to spend 30+ minutes on the board at least every other day answering questions - the required Mod-posted questions AND questions asked in your group threads.
  • If you do not do this, you'll get "poked" by your moderator.  We don't like to poke people, please make our lives easier and answer the questions in your group threads.
  • The best and most loved packages in this swap are the ones that were personal. That is what the swap is all about - getting to know someone and creating a package that is better than one they would have picked out for themselves. We joke that its find & sending the thing that the person didn't even know that they needed, yet now can't imagine living without.
Please let us know if you are unable to complete the swap - at anytime after registration. We will work to re-assign your partner.

Make sure you complete both steps of the registration process- you will NOT be fully registered until you do.

Please comment below, include your Rav ID and what is your most loved (by you) knit/crocheted item (that you like wearing/using - you didn't have to enjoy making it).
