~ granny square swap anyone? ~

Would anyone like to do a granny square swap with me?  

I would like to swap a 6" granny square with 10 of my blogging friends.  (I will send you one and you will send me one.)  I'm thinking that a granny square blanket crocheted by friends would be the best.  Any color will be fine, but I would like each square to be acrylic and 6" square.  They do not have to be fancy or anything - plain ones are good.  

I figure that 6 granny square swaps (a total of 60 squares) would make a very nice size blanket.  The swaps will be spaced out over time so as not to be overwhelming.

For this 1st installment of the swap - the deadline will be the end of December.  

If you are interested, just leave me a comment saying that you would like to swap.  I'll take the first 10 commenters for this swap.  Thanks so much.  :)

  8. Hey Debi, I never asked you before but do you have an iPhone, and more importantly the Instagram app? Myself and a couple of ladies on there are having an Instagram granny swap too! You can still join in you want to :) We make 5 squares a week and somewhere next year we will swap them all out so we each end up with unique afghans :)
    xo,
    wink
    ps Because of that swap, I'll skip your swap for now because I fear I won't be able to make time for it! ;)

    Pattas - that would be fine if you would like to join in. :)

    Winkieflash - no, I don't have an I-phone. I have a plain, old-school phone that doesn't even take pictures. One of these days I'll get me a new one though. :)
