SIGN UPS ARE OPEN until August 26th!
CONTACT INFO
If you need some help, information, whatever you can e-mail me at sunne(at)rmi(dot)net
PUNKS
RULES
- 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!
TIME LINE
- Sign ups CLOSE - August 26th
- Pairing will be sent out - August 30th
- First Box RECEIVED by Ocotber 1st
- Second Box RECEIVED by November 1st
- Everything wrapped up by November 15th
BUTTONS
DEADBEATS
- Morbidknits
FOR THOSE WITH OUT OF COUNTRY PALS
- Please use this link to check with the postal service for items considered contraband, that could get your package confiscated by the postal authorities. Yes, this really did happen in a couple instances last time! Things like yarn seem to be okay, but things like tea, get your entire package tossed. So its good to know what is allowed. Also make sure on the customs form to write that it is a gift and put a small dollar amount, it seems to get through customs faster!
- 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.

OOOO Fun!!! But I'm already stumped!! LOL .....
.......
.......
...hmmm.....
......
......A go knit pouch!!!!
Um.... some superwash BFL roving to dye and spin for socks! (or some BFL sock yarn already dyed)...
Geez, I have already got so much...hmmmm.......more Lobster Pot yarn
hmmm, I'm somewhere between Lesley and Cheryl - stumped and spoiled... I suppose it would be dark sock yarn from Spin Cycle...
Socks that Rock. I *heart* many of the colorways but am still a virgin. Probably the medium weight. But, let me finish by saying my pal has totally rocked and I am in no way disappointed. As a matter of fact, she's preggers and that gives me tons of ways to pay her back a bit, hehe.
That would be a small go-knit pouch in camouflage - it would match my small backpack that I have in camouflage. The hubby calls it my "Lara Croft" bag. But that's just me and I am weird like that.
Definitely Classic Elite's "Premiere" cotton/tencel yarn! It's the softest cotton yarn ever!!
oh, i'll play :) I'm dying too get the book Fitted Knits, i'm thinking maybe the end of June i'll get it for myself :)
I would loooove to get my hands on "No Sheep for you". I knit with non-wool yarns about as often as, or maybe even more often than, wool. I'd be curious to read all about them! ^^
I would have to say a camo go knit pouch it would be awesome as no one sells them here in Oz.
Patterns for Eunny Jang's Deep V Argyle and Zephyr Style's Sahara.
Hmmm. Maybe more sock knitting stuff or some good knitting mags? Between ShadKitty and my pal I'm really turned on to this sock knitting thing (BTW I found the BEST patten to use my trekking XXL yarn that I got in my last package in the latest issue of Interweave knits. I bought the magazine pretty much just for that pattern. Oh yes. I'm excited. They are going to be the best socks ever).
All that to say my pal, Dawn, has done an amzing job spoiling me and sending me so much awesome stuff I didn't even know I needed until I got it (and she totally read my mind and sent me everything I was thinking about in my last package!).
