Description:
I love knitting socks and if you are reading this, I'm sure you do as well, or you at least want to!! For this swap, you will be swapping new yarn to make a pair of socks and a pattern to make said socks with! The theme for this swap will be..... EMBELLISHED!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats right swappers. We will be swapping a sock pattern that has been embellished by; buttons, beads, ruffles, cuffs, ribbon, emboirdery (double stitching/ dutch stitches/ duplicate stitching/you get the idea) or some other sort of sock decoration. You will be adding whatever you need to make said sock embellishment too. Remember, the fiber quality is still important. We put our little fingers to work and we want the finished product to be worth all of those little stitches! So that means no, must I say, cheap, acrylic, low quality yarns... After being flaked on by many people, I am unfortunately going to have to ban people with a lower than 4.85 rating... unless you have a good reason why your rating is low... ALL newbies must drop me a line before signing up and must have a complete profile and blog. ANYHOO!!!!!!!! AIM FOR THOSE HEARTS!

I'm so excited to see you lengthened the time we have to mail for this swap! This gives me time to see what my pals preferences are and to order something if I can't get it at my LYS. Thanks so much!

How do you feel about red and black? I have something awesome in mind but it only comes in those colors. I don't want to send a color that's going to make you puke though. LOL
