Crazy Afghan Squares

You will knit or crochet 4 7x7" squares, one each for 4 different partners.

The idea of this is that everyone will receive 4 different unique squares to start off an afghan, or at least a pillow. You can use whatever yarn weight you want to make the squares, the most important thing is the finished size as they will be sewn together by your recipient. This is an excellent way to use up oddments in your stash, but please only use nice quality yarn (ie - no Red Heart). You can experiment with texture, pattern, stripes, whatever you like, each square can be one solid colour, or a mixture of colours.

I'm happy for people to list preferences if they have allergies, or if there is a colour that they really hate, but the idea of this is that it's a complete surprise, and you end up with something really funky!

I'm hoping to turn this into a monthly or bi-monthly swap if it goes well and people are interested.

This is an international swap!

Oh, and any swappers with multiple no sends or not sending the right items will be banned. New swappers are welcome.

Please ensure that you weave in the ends of your squares, and that you weave in at least 8" to stop it unravelling over time. This is important for the person who receives your squares (think how you would feel if you has lots of loose ends hanging off your afghan!), so I have made it part of the specific swap requirements.

Following another suggestion, please can all international mailings be done by AIRMAIL. This shouldn't cost too much as each square will be fairly light. There have been instances in other swaps with small items being sent surface, which can take up to 3 months in some cases, and the sender being given a bad rating because nothing has arrived.
