Description:
I have found out that I crochet well enough to be able to pick up most crochet animal, doll, etc pattern and can make it. Not all the time, but most of the time. Here is a swap that I hope others will find interesting and will want to join. In the message section of this swap, I would like crocheters to find a pattern that they like and link it. If you don't know how to link, here is how you do it. Find the pattern, right click, another window will pop up, go to "properties", another window will pop up, copy the URL and come to this site and paste it in a message box like this [ paste URL here ] (paste URL here) but with no spaces and it should show up as a link. These should be patterns for animals, dolls, toys, etc. If you just cannot link, just copy and paste and someone else will do it for you. You can link more than one pattern if you wan Size requirement: as long as it is not a mini, it will be okay. Then when the assign partners day comes up, you will go to the links and pick out a pattern to make and send to your partner. Your choice. Please try to pick out a pattern that is not so terrible hard that no one will try it, but one that has a little bit of a challenge to it. I will link mine here so that you will get an idea of what I am talking about. I think this will be fun for the serious crocheters. This is not for beginners. Each of us should expect a nice item because we have been crocheting for a while. No 1's or 3's for 6 months. Newbies welcome. International friends also welcome. Not only will we crochet something new but we will have links to lots of new patterns. I think this can be fun. Let's try it. http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31692

sounds like a great idea, but I'm just way too busy this holiday season. I'll definitely be on the lookout for future rounds of this!

Jesshens1125 - I linked that but it only comes up with the add that is flashing on the left side of the screen. Were you just practicing - it should be: [paste URL here - no spaces] (paste URL here - no spaces)

Also, go to the actual page. If you copy a URL of just a picture, you need to do a different set up link format which is: ! [ paste URL here ] ( paste URL here ) all with no spaces anywhere

Be aware that the patterns above might not meet the swap requirements. These are just some of my faves and I wanted to share. I didn't look closely at measurements.
