Welcome to the Mystery Theme Swap!

What is the mystery? This is not a secret swap, so to make it interesting we are going to keep you guessing as to the theme of your package. You will give your partner a few ideas as to the things you like (i.e., a color, chocolate, puppies, tea, you get the idea) and they will pick one and build your package around this theme.

This swap is open to international participants who knit and/or crochet!

Rules: Please read carefully, these will be strictly enforced!

1. The swap will run from Monday, October 1st-Friday, November 2nd (5 weeks). All packages must be mailed by November 2nd!
2. Your package must contain everything needed for a small project (yarn, needles/hooks & pattern). Free patterns are o.k., just make sure you make up for it by including extra nice yarn or goodies.
3. The contents of the package must cost $40US min.-$50US max. This total is pre-shipping. For domestic packages please figure at least $10 for shipping. International shipping will be significantly higher and will vary by country. If you are shipping domestically, you must also include insurance and delivery confirmation on your package.
4. Email contact with your partner is required! There will be deadlines given for contact, those who do not meet the deadlines will be eliminated from the exchange and their partner will be reassigned.

If you think you may not be able to comply with the rules, or believe you may have a problem with getting your package out on time, please do not sign up. There are plenty of swaps out there. We want this to be a pleasant experience for all!

If you sign up and are unable to complete the swap, please email me ASAP so that your partner can be reassigned.
