Description:

This is a USA swap only. Feel free to host your own international one.

Also there will be no monthly swap in July. I have a couple family reunions and a wedding and will be very busy in July

You will send two 7" basic traditional granny square to your assigned partner. One of the granny squares needs to be a "Summer" theme. Bright colors, red/white/blue, whatever you feel summer is to you. The other square is using any colors you wish as long as each round is a different color

IMPORTANT!!! Each granny must be made using the basic traditional granny square pattern. Also, you MUST use a 4-ply worsted weight acrylic yarn. DO NOT use cotton or wool for these squares and DO NOT use anything lighter than 4-ply. You must use a different color yarn for each round so that each granny will have a rainbow of colors, thus the swap name. The number of rounds depends on the size hook you use and how tight/loose you crochet. Please measure your squares accurately and make sure that they are as close to 7 inches as possible! ALSO Make sure all ends are woven in and clipped!! AND both squares should be different from each other.

Any questions, please send me a message. Rating requirement for 4.8 and up. With no recent 1's or 3's. Newbies welcome with a WELL filled out and detailed profile. (Yes, I do check.)

Also ~ I live in "Boonyville" Michigan and sometimes our internet connection isn't very good. This is especially true when it rains & in the winter months. So please be patient, partners will get assigned and if needed I will extend the send date.

@Hishunnibunni - I run this swap each month, though I am taking the month of July off from it. I'll be posting August soon if you want to put it on your watch list.
