One of the groups I belong to on Ravelry, it's a team group connected to Nerdopolis and Nerdwars, Bazinga (based on the Big Bang Theory- tv show not physics) had a pattern swap for the off month (the tournaments run three months, then there's a break and team sign ups, then the new tournament - like sports off season with all the trades etc) Pattern swaps can be fun - no mailing, no postage, you get one or two partners, there is a total spend limit of $20 for both together, you get your partners and the links to their pattern wishlists and pick one (I send 2 if they are small/cheap) . The thank you thread can be dangerous - people post the pattern's picture with their thank you, and not just my queue grows. I got three really great patterns this time around. I've been looking at sweater patterns (totally Grace's fault.. LOL --- I'm not mad at you Grace!) and I was gifted this one:
Then I had been looking at knitted taxidermy and totally fell in love with Christmas Moose!!
Last - I've been wanting to make Dandy Sir Cephalopod forever!! I even bought the wooden button moustache over a year ago!! Now I need to find it LOL...
I can't wait to see how you joined the sleeves for the back, that is what screwed me up. I remember when you bought the mustache. I forgot all about my sweater plans, maybe next time, going to start my football scarf today!
