....a like minded gift exchange for those who knit & crochet in a punk state of mind...

Running a little late...
But here is my contest entry! I really wanted to find some tough looking punk guy with a big mohawk to hold my yarn and take a photo, but didn't run into any of those in the past couple days -- or have any time to search one out... So instead my beautiful yarn from my pal is posing with my new Target rain boots and my sock monkey!
back east my friend linda is still laughing b/c in hoboken we had no superstores (the town is only a mile square) and a target opened a few miles away. i had a tiny toyota tercel and after i drove out to target the first time (having never had the target experience before) i returned to tell her breathlessly: "You can get everything there--they even have MILK!" rotfl
I hate the big box stores, but I think I found those boots about the time you got your jammies there - they were so cute, I got on the website to look at the jammies and wound up in the shoe department (imagine that! LOL) and once I saw the boots for like $12, it was all over....
THESE ARE THE RULES - THEY ARE NOT OPTIONAL - IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM - DON'T SIGN UP!! IT'S NOT VERY PUNK, BUT ITS REALITY!! If you like, you can do more these are the basic minimum guidelines!!
$25.00 MINIMUM - you can spend more if you like, but you have to spend this! This is a $50 total exchange commitment before postage.
CONTACT YOUR PAL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK - YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE EXCHANGE IF YOU DON'T - its nice, it lets them know you care. And be polite and respond to your pal. If you are nicer, you may get more gifties!
THIS IS A HALF SECRET/HALF OPEN EXCHANGE! You will be a secret punk pal till your first box is received, then it will be an open exchange from there.
POST WEEKLY ON YOUR BLOG - and it would be nice if occasionally there was a knitting or crochet or crafting entry, too. It helps your pal know what you like and again, it will get you better gifties! And post your gifties on your blog in a timely manner. Pals like it when you say thank you!
This exchange is only open to knitters and crocheters (?? is that a word? those who crochet....you know what I mean!) You must knit or crochet to participate, have a blog and be a little punk in mentality.
If you can't/don't follow these rules you will be kicked out of the exchange. I hate to be a hard ass, but I will be! Its only fair to all the good pals out there. So if you join, please play by the rules. If you have something happen and you can't play after joining, please e-mail me so that other arrangements can be made. Anyone who just bails will be blackballed for all future exchanges. And yes, the list started with the last one - lets not add any more names!
Please be conscious with International Pals that you need to send boxes earlier, so that your pal receives her gifts about the same time as the rest of us. The mail service has gotten better but it is still 10 to 15 days behind domestic mail service.
