I have a love of all things mini skein. I mean I have not one but two scrap blankets on the go. My Memory blanket which has been around since 2016 and my Northeasterly that I started in February. I quickly understood that I can’t knit fast enough with two small children to generate enough scraps to feed my blankets. And that when I discovered swapless swaps on Ravelry!
I don’t have to make the time to dig up a reciprocal package. I just pay my money and a bag of neatly wound mini skeins from a fabulous dyer shows up at my door. I’m currently stalking all the swaps by YarnMatrix aka RoMillet on Ravelry. I have to limit myself and not go crazy. But I just had to jump on the Leading Man Fiber Arts swap….I mean look at those colors!!
Do you swapless swap?
I’ve never heard of a swapless swap before, but I think I would really like it. I’ll have to look into it!
I have never heard of this. Now I must investigate:)
This is a dangerous thing for me to know.
Will have to look into this – thank you! I think…
I have before; however I’ve not done any for a bit because I have so many mini skeins and haven’t worked on my blanket in ages. I will get back to it sometime though and I’m prepared. I may even have enough to finish a small lap blanket now.
I didn’t know it existed. Usually no one wants to ship to Australia so I never look into it.
