Description:
I'm going to try to host a magic yarn ball swap for each month... I just love magic yarn balls... thank you to everyone that participated in the past swaps... for this swap, you will make ONE magic yarn ball.... try to make the theme of the ball match your partner's profile... BUT it doesn't have to!! you could also just do a theme that relates to the month..... november = thanksgiving december = christmas january = new year february = valentine's march = st. pats day i just don't want to limit these swaps to a theme... b/c so many people on this site may be able to do so many other things on their own!! I've never seen such an amazing group of crafters... (HORRAY swap-bot!!!) please don't use cheap 100% acrylic yarn... OR put cheap things IN the yarn ball... make something nice... something you'd LOOOOVE to receive!!! you can search google or flickr for magic yarn ball pics/ideas here's a place to upload your sent/received swap-bot magic yarn balls http://www.flickr.com/groups/1583757@N22/ thanks momwithahook!! there are some WONDERFUL ones out there!!! you could also include a pattern that would go with the yarn you send.... you could use just one larger skein of yarn... or two small skeins. or, imagine a beautiful hand tied skein!!!! it's all up to you!!! this is senders choice

Quick question... when i google magic ball it brings up a scrappy ball, is that what this swap is?

I have a question too: Do you have to unwrap the whole ball of yarn? Or just make sure you make a nie ball with some nice goodies in it and make ik look nice (so you maybe don't have to unroll the whole ball of yarn?) I hope you understand my question.

sorry I haven't been back to answer... wish there were some sort of email notification of posts!!!!

what you do is start rolling a ball out of yarn, every few wraps, put something fun in the ball, and wrap more yarn around it.

I usually use up a whole skein (sometimes TWO!!) :o) and put in LOTS of goodies!!!

What do you mean 100% cheap acrylic? Dollar store type or just any yarn that is acrylic?

if you send a blend that is another fiber, but has a small amount of acrylic in it, that's fine. - but if it says 100% acrylic on the label, please don't send it, UNLESS you msg your partner and ask them if they'd mind.

I think this may be my last swap for a while, I've been VERY disappointed with LOTS of swaps lately.... after putting lots of time and money into my swaps, I've either not been getting any at all, or very cheaply, quickly put together swaps. :o(

hope you all enjoy this swap, and send something you'd LOVE to receive!!!
