Take and Replace Pattern Swap Details....

By -

My marigolds are finally popping with color.   All summer they lagged behind the other flowers in the neighborhood.    Now the coleus and the marigolds are lovely.  I don't feel I need to buy any mums for fall color.  

I have fallen in love with mitered squares.  The yarn, once knit to a nearly finished vest, then ripped and knitted in garter row after garter row, then ripped out again when it got too heavy to work with ....
is now cute little mitered squares.  Do you think I should crochet them together with a solid color? Which solid color.  Pink?  Green?  Purple???  It has to go to a baby girl....

I am still thinking of the details for the pattern take and replace swap.  IF you want to participate I think I'll ask you to knit a bookmark for the next swapper.  This way it will be remain a flat envelope to mail and the swappers can look forward to a little gift.

The swap will start next week.   Are you in?  If you find a pattern you like, take it and replace it with another for the next knitter.  Knit any bookmark you like for the next knitter and mail it too.  
It is meant to be a very easy and fun swap.   I am going to keep it in the USA for ease.

I have loved mitered squares. I also love all the colors in that yarn, so I'm no help at all on the border color.

I think purple would be pretty and make the other lighter colors pop!
I would love to take part in the swap but you knew that didn't you.

I remember after my first mitered square I said to Tom never again----haha ha---never say never, I love mitered squares as you can tell by all of the rambling rows blankets I have done!

I am not swapping, way too many other things to do right now, but I loved mitered squares. I never get sick of the construction part, it is fascinating to me.
Have a great workend,

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
