Square Swap (For Crochet/Knitting)
There is a "thing" among some yarn folk. It's a Square Swap.
Here's how it works: Each person makes 12(or whatever the number is) squares of a certain size and colorway. They mail eleven squares to the other eleven people in their group. They get eleven squares back. Then you can put those squares into a blanket for yourself of for a giveaway. There is no set style to the square other than size and color choices. Usually it's a 6 month? time frame. I think that is right. So would anyone be interested in doing this? Some swaps I've seen have been : Red, White And Blue Red and Purple Spring colors Variegated only I've got the Blues (various shades of blue) So? It's a good way to try out different yarns and patterns if you like that sort of thing. |

Hey! That sounds really cool!
So do have a blanket size in mind, or a wall-hanging size? And what colorways are you thinking? |

Sounds good to me! I like the edging idea because it will add drama yet also continuity.

Here's how one group does it. CLICKY
8 squares x 8"s = 64 inches So that's a 4x4 blanket making it 32" across. Not really big enough. LOL We might have to do a team of at least 10 people doing 2 8" squares for each member. That would be 20 8" squares total per person. That's a lot but if you do Granny Squares, those go super fast. So I guess it would be up to the group. I'd sure like to try though. 10 people doing 8 " squares x 2 so each person ends up with 20 8" squares. If you do four across and five rows that's 32" x 40", right? Lord Love A Duck, I don't do math well. |

That's too many squares, love, and too much joining at the end. Let's make it simple, 12" squares, k? 12 of them would give us lap robes 3 squares by 4 squares--3 feet by 4 feet.
16 squares would give us 4 feet by 4 feet; that would cover a more ample lap. |
