Winter Swap 2013

Winter Swap 2013

Swap Expectations:

• Minimum package value = $50 + shipping (this round the average package cost will be closer to $60-80, please plan for that)
• Must include 1 skein of Malabrigo AND 1 skein/batt/roving from an Indi Hand dyer. (we expect the yarn to be of a good quality - i.e. 
• The stalking period runs through February 1st- packages may NOT be sent till after the 1st.
• All packages must be sent by March 1st.
• All domestic packages must have a tracking number.
• You must respond to all the Mandatory 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.
• Moderators WILL be checking the Naughty Swapper list before approving camper's registrations.

Swap Responsibilities:

• 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. 

Groups:

• We will be dividing the swappers into groups based on what weight of Malabrigo they would like to receive.
• We will try hard to get everyone in their first or second choice of yarn weights. We're asking you for a 3rd choice in the rare case that we need to put you there.
•  Some groups may include multiple yarn weights (i.e. chunky & worsted) if those groups are smaller. You will still receive the weight you request, but may be purchasing yarn in another weight.

Please let us know if you are unable to complete the swap - at anytime after registration. We will work to re-assign your partner.


REGISTRATION is closed!!!

You will be magic linked in the registration thread within 24 hours of completing both steps. (Devin tries to do this every couple hours - when she's awake. But with 2 small ones and DH being on a business trip, it might not get done as frequently)




We can't wait to get started!
