Exchange update

Last night I finished the red scarf, which I'll do the final touches for tonight and send out tomorrow, along with my skeins for "spin me a treasure." And just in time, because tote exchange III is starting in full force. because there are quite a few of us who volunteered to be hostesses, we each have only 13 or 14 people to monitor through the exchange. I've now gotten my "downstream" pal, who I need to contact, and heard from my "upstream" pal. And I have successfully matched my 14 partcipants and sent out pal assignments.

So the next step is deciding what to make! I was originally thinking about not doing something felted this time, but my pal is a working mom with 2 kids who sounds like she does a lot of active, outdoor stuff. So I'm back to thinking about a felted bag! Either something roomy or a maybe a backpack. Honestly, the constant companion bag sounds like it would work for her, but I really don't want to do 2 of the same thing, and I made one in the first swap. Oh well, I guess I'll keep looking for patterns.

I'm also still deciding what to make for Debbie, for the mystery skein swap. Over the weekend, I bought a copy of One-Skein Wonders, which has a number of cute patterns. 'Course, I'm hindered by not knowing what size she is (and I don't want to go too crazy with fitting, anyway), but I'm hoping that I can find something I want to make for her.
