New Moon isn't until November...what to do, what to do? If you live in the U.S., it's likely to be cold waiting in line for the midnight release. We should definitely do something about that...
Knitters and crocheters, warm up your hooks and sticks as the![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
twilight_crafts moderators proudly present our first ever community swap!
WHAT: 6" knit and/or crochet squares made with black and red worsted weight acrylic (double if you're in the U.K.) yarn (so everyone receives the same size with the same washability!). Thistwilight_crafts mod recommends a soft acrylic like I Love This Yarn, Caron Simply Soft, Red Heart Soft or equivalent.
WHEN: Between now and October 2, 2009
HOW: This is intended to be a low-stress swap, meaning there are no actual sign ups until the end of the swap. If you want to participate, start making squares and when the deadline arrives, we'll collect names. This is a group swap, so you will be mailing blocks to everyone in your group. There will be three groups, based on the number of squares you make:
Forks swap group - 12 squares (2 each mailed to 6 swappers)
La Push swap group - 24 squares (3 each mailed to 8 swappers)
Port Angeles swap group - 36 squares (4 each mailed to 9 swappers)
Depending on the numbers of participants, the group numbers might have to be rearranged slightly. However, in no case will you be sending to more than 9 people.
WHO: All skill levels are welcome, as long as the blocks are well made and the ends are woven in. International swappers are welcome.
PATTERNS: You are welcome to use any 6" pattern as long as the finished square has both red and black yarn. To help get you started:
Pimp this swap! The more people that participate, the more fun this will be!
Please note that you need to be a member oftwilight_crafts to participate. The final call for swappers in October will be viewable to members only. If you haven't signed up and want to swap, now is the time!
When you make it to your destination, grab an icon!

I'm such a bad crafter.
You are NOT a bad crafter. :)
and dont worry about asking for more help. i wish i had my webcam and id walk you through a granny square step by step. and you know what? try it and if you are just so full of fail you dont want to send any you dont have to. thats the beauty of these sorts of swaps where you sign up at the end :0)

That is the link to the solid granny square but there is a link on the video for more granny squares ... The woman who has done the video is brilliant and taught me how to crochet ... she slows the video down so ya can see how it's done
Hope that helps :D
I'm currently trying my first one while watching Twilight....
I made 4 blocks tonight. 6" goes fast. :)
I found a block I really like but I'm afraid it will lose something if I can't add a row or two of another color.
Just curious. I'm sure it will look fine either way.
Thanks for asking, it's a good question!
