Extension

There's a line about an Extension in the film Constantine, said by one of my favourite angry French actors.

I digress, I have decided an extension for sign-ups may be in order. Maybe someone will still want to play, they just haven't pulled up their nerve. So now you have until Saturday the 3rd.

Welcome!

Softy Swap.

Wanna join? Come on, be a joiner.

What will be required:

• You have to MAKE a softy. If you want to throw in a bonus purchased softy, that's your thing, but the main requirement is that you actually build something.
• This softy should not be smaller than your fist (like, 3.5" tall) and should not be larger than a shoe box (12" tall). There's no cost requirement, but consider while you're creating your critter what you would want someone to send to you, and give likewise. But do remember that you will be mailing it to someone, so don't forget to make it light so it doesn't cost you a million dollars to send it.
• Your item could be crocheted, knit, sewn, or been created by stabbing wool with mighty sharp needles. Or anything else you can think of that would make it fun for you and your recipient.
• There's no theme, except for what your swap partner is interested in.
• Sign ups start Wednesday, January 17th, and close Wednesday, January 31st at 11:59 pm Mountain Standard Time. We'll let you know who you're matched with by February 10th (we both work a couple of jobs, so we're giving ourselves time to get this right), and you'll have until March 10th to mail it off.
• You don't need to have a blog to sign up, though it is preferred as it will be easier for your pal to get to know you and what you like.

Sound good? If you can honestly commit, please e-mail laceknitta @ gmail . com (remove the spaces) and let us know:

• your name
• your mailing address
  
• your blog address
• your e-mail address
• your internet nickname (because we'll post the blogs up on the side bar and if you don't want your real name out there for all the world to see we'll respect that)
• your favourite colour, animal, cartoon and/or children's book
• your style preference such as cutesy, kitschy, traditional, creepy, etc.
• whether or not this softy could be subjected to the whims of children and therefore shouldn't involve any beads or other small bits
• whether or not you have a fibre allergy
• if you want to ship within your own country or you want an international pal
• if you would be willing to be an angel should some one choose to flake out (but none of you would do that right?)
  

Yay! Swap on, dudes!
