I joined a group on Ravelry that does a year long swap. You are assigned a partner, and you swap three packages through out the year. This is my first swap, ever and I am so excited! The first and second box have different things that you make, some yarn and little gifts. The last one, in December, we swap an afghan that we have made for our partner.
Quite honestly, my first package is supposed to go out by the end of the month and I haven't the foggiest idea of what I'm going to send, or how I'm going to send it. My partner has done more swaps and I really don't want to give her something that she already has. My problem, with gifting, my husband says is that I put too much thought into my gifts and I actually stress over them.
My partner and I have talked back and forth, quite a bit. She has been very helpful in finding the things she likes but I still want there to be a surprise. So, I'm not sure that I am going to post too much of what I'm making her, on here, in case she reads. I do really want to post the blanket that I have started for her. But I will have to make a seaparate post for that, because I would like to talk more about it and I don't know where my camera is.
I do really like the idea of a knit/crochet swap. I am exicted to see what other people can make and excited for the adventures of making someone I have never met, in person, gifts. I love to help people smile and I think this is one of the many ways.
Have you done anything similar? What are some gifts you have made for someone? Feel free to leave comments and check out my other posts. I love hearing from you!
You are beautiful and well loved.
