It's been awhile since I joined any swaps, but I did join a beach themed swap on squares squared on Ravelry. We had to make 2 or 3 squares to swap that our partner can add to their own squares to make a throw. We also needed to send a bag- preferable hand made, but that part was negotiable. My partner Jody, totally spoiled me - she made three squares - flip flops ( you now how much I loved flip flops!) sandcastle and a sun with shades. She also made a really cool pinwheelish bag with braided handles. 
In addition she send a beach themed memo pad, mouse pad calender and photo album, a midsummer's night candle, peach tea, a orange pocket and a reusable shopping bag - you really can't have enough of them!!
I forgot to take a picture of my swap package to Jody so I snagged these pictures that she posted on the group's swap page.
I really can't wait to start making the rest of my squares for a light cotton summer throw!
That is a fun swap! I love everything, both what you made and what you received.

ReplyDeletelove what you both did, so much fun and so many cool ideas!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great swap! I really like the flip flop square. The bag is great too! I love the bag you made for your partner. Did you get that pattern from the back label of Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn? I have one almost finished that I started when I first learned to crochet and I had a hard time understanding the direction for the top and the handles. I need to pull out that ufo and finish the bag.
ReplyDeleteif you give me your email add. I can send you your pattern PDF file and the pattern you want.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I should try another swap. I did one a couple years ago and it was fun!
