Jeanius, I'll let you send to me if you don't get a partner. I don't mind getting from two!! ROFL!

I've heard from my partner and can't wait to start shopping for the name I have.

I haven't received a message from my swapper yet! I know some people don't come on here as obssessively as I do, but I'm getting antsy!!!!

Oh my!!!! I am having sooo much fun and I have already contacted both my pals:woot: and have already been scoping out all kinds of goodies that would be perfect. Soo my question is this when are we suppossed to start sending out our swap packages?!:aww: I don't want to send it to early but I have been looking for a day straight and think I pretty much found what I want to get for my pal. Oh and to my pal you are going to be sooo happy:teehee:

I've heard from both my partners... bought my swapee some yarn today, because like so many others, she also enjoys yarn.
when making stitch markers, where do you get the little metal rings to go around the needle? I can't find any the right size... :(

I think you can get them at Michael's. I have a friend who makes jewelry, and that's where she gets her's.

Thanks, I'll check there next time I'm out that way.

At the risk of sounding totally uninformed... ummm, what is ACMOORE?

Yep, they are called jump rings or split rings(like the kind that go on a keychain). I hope you find them:)LOL Jesshawk Acmoore is a craft store like Joanns or Michaels hehe

At the risk of sounding totally uninformed... ummm, what is ACMOORE?

Sorry Jess_hawk I always think everyone knows what store that is lol that is our local craft store I do that a lot lol :teehee: . Hope you find what you are looking for they do have a website now but I don't know what is on there I haven't really checked it out.

:hug: to you

:woohoo: ;) :teehee:

This will be a lot of fun - Hope you enjoy too

SANTA

lol no problem. I'll check around at some more of our craft places.

HOLY CRAP! I usually don't hop on here on the weekend..okay, well very little, but wanted to see if I needed to do anything in regard to the swap and have a MILLION pages on this thread to catch up on. WOW!!!

Okay, those of you who haven't heard from your swapper yet...give me a few minutes.... I've got more than 10-15 PMs that I've got to forward out to you guys so even if you noted that your primary email was the best way to reach you, PLEASE be sure to check your PMs here on KH as some partners are using me as the go-between until they develop their "secret identity" set up.

That said, I'm about to forward over messages and then I've got to enjoy a good giggle and read what everyone is posting on this thread. This is a hoot!

Jeanius80... you didn't get your email about who your partner is or you didn't get a message from your partner? Perhaps you cleared this up in a later post, but I'm only on page 24 of the thread so if you still need something do NOT hesitate to let me know.

Cheers to all... "and to all a good night".

me.

:yay: i have a partner!!!

:blush: i was checking in the wrong email .... :)

Hi there! I haven't heard from the person who had *me* yet. I'm not worried though as its the weekend. I have contacted and heard back from the one I"m shoping for though! I"m so excited!! :)

:woohoo:I'M JUST SOOO HAPPY!!! shopping time!!!:inlove:

I think whoever has me is being too sneaky...I still haven't heard from them! But I'm thinking that maybe they don't come on here on the weekend, or they're busy or whatever. I'm just too excited!

:muah: hello there threesmom!
Just in case you were wondering I'm your santa! I've got your info and am working on your list! :yay:

I've been shopping.:happydance: .............The way I understand, we just have to have our packages sent out by Dec 8th. Anytime between now and then is fine. Is that right???
I've contacted my partner, but haven't heard from who has me. Now, I'll wait patiently.

Have emailed my secret pal and also heard from the person who has me!!! How exciting! Let the shopping begin!!

Couple of comments to various questions posted here and sent to me via email.

You are not REQUIRED to be super sneaky...many of us just like to be a wee bit onery. To the couple of you who may have already busted yourselves, I only have one thing to say. YEAH!!! I didn't get busted first!!! Seriously, it isn't a problem. I'm sure you will still have LOADS of fun with this swap. hob found me out on the last swap but that didn't diminish the fun I had putting together her package.

You can send small packages or one "big" package. It is entirely up to you. You can send ANY time during and up to the shipping deadline. The only requirement on when you mail your package out is that it has to be postmarked by the deadline date (see page 1 of this thread for that date) to somewhat ensure your partner will get it before the hustle and bustle of the whole holiday time (whatever holiday they celebrate).

Hope everyone has an excellent day! I've gotta run and try and salvage a deal that is in deep doodoo.

getting mail- sending mail- researching my pal.... what could be better on a Monday Morning?! oh yeah- shopping!!! LOL! Thanks for helping me avoid work y'all... I didn't want to do it anyways.

:sun: Got my partner! I am excited to start shopping... I almost played hooky from work but my DD brought me to my senses...
This is very exciting!:woohoo: :happydance: :knitting:

How do you set up a new profile?Can't seem to figure it out.Need new one to tease my swapper

when making stitch markers, where do you get the little metal rings to go around the needle? I can't find any the right size... :(

They are usually in the jewelry findings section (where earring hooks, pin backs, etc) are. For larger rings (like for size 10-15 needles) I will use Roman shade rings that are found in the upholstery and curtain section. They are solid, so they won't pull open. For smaller needles I use the jump rings that either are solid (hard to find) or that go around 2 full times. Much sturdier although they do catch on very fluffy yarns more than other rings.

Log out and go to the create user or some such like that. You will have to use a different email address than the one you initially used though.

Create a free email address at aol, hotmail, or gmail to go along with your other KH name.

I think my swapper hasn't had time to email me yet I am sure she will be in touch soon. Or if somehow you did write me it hasn't gotten here yet. I found something for my swapee today. Could it be you?????

yarntard and I are going to do some shopppping! :balloons:
...soon that is :D

i might be dyeing for my swappee ;) and i think i will make stitch markers! maybe I'll dye the yarn to match the markers :shifty:

I made the COOLEST stitch markers yesterday while sitting outside in the nice weather on my patio! They are some sort of holiday related...although I won't specify which holiday...

Still no message from my swapper...I'm sure they're just a little busy..right? right???

Still no message from my swapper...I'm sure they're just a little busy..right? right???

That is what I am telling myself about mine. I am sure we will hear soon.

I wouldn't worry too much...some people just got their names :)
Hey Lady Violet, I've already picked out some things for you *tease tease*

For those of you who haven't heard from your swappee/swapper I thought I'd chime in and say some of us may have been out of town, so be patient!!

^^It's possible.

I sent an email to the person I have but have not heard back yet. I have not heard from the person who has me as of yet.

Some of us are just way more antsy than others, or we sit at a desk all day and check KH about every 5 min:roflhard:
I wouldn't worry yet. Though I have been bombarding my swapee with tempting emails and such.. oh crap... i'm not giving it away:pout:

yes! i've got my partner!:happydance: time to $hop!:mrgreen:

Haha, Mulder, you're right. I have friday-monday off, so I was at my desk checking every 5 minutes. I'm just so envious of everyone else's excitement!

I'm loving being sneaky....I'd check your pm's if I were you The.Knitter....:out:

wow i was away 1 day and u all wrote so much i havent got my sender yet but im not worried life tends to get in the way of such things, like knitting and shoping lol.plus im having soo much fun reading this and talking to my swaper.some of u all seem so ready to go-gulp- well umm im a tiny bit behind must take all day tomorow (day off from work) to shop lol.

Just got a PM I am guessing is from my sender.:woohoo:

Still waiting to hear back from my swappee.:happydance:

Yippy, i have myself a swap partner.
O where O where is my sender be ??

I haven't heard from my swapper yet either. I am having a great time with the one I'm shopping for however ;)

Yeah!!! I heard from the person who has me. She is super sneaky and I have no idea who she is.

I emailed the person I have but have not heard back from them yet. But I did some reseach and I think I have a pretty good idea of some of the things she likes from the last swaps.

Reetz, I've been so excited that my friend just had to join in with me...two heads are better than one, ya know!!!
I know what you're getting, do-dah, do-dah! :happydance:

I have heard from the person who has me... I know, you think since I know who it is it might not be that fun...WRONG! She's tempting me with all sorts of things and I'm going nuts! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't make me have to wait till Christmas to open it. PLEASE don't mark it "Do NOT Open til Dec 25th!". I want to open it NOW and I don't even have it. LOL... I'm VERY excited. I'm DROOLING prematurely.

As for the person who's name I have, I've sent and email and had a response. I need to write the person again soon though to tease/tempt/tease (wait, did I say tease twice? LOL)

I hope you are all having lots of fun thinking of what you can do for your swap partner. I know that I am. I pulled out the beads last night and started seeing what I've got and what I need to get to make her some FAB (at least I HOPE SHE thinks they are) stitch markers to go along with the size of needles with which she typically knits.

TTFN all.

Hello everyone... (this is not my regular account...)
I'm *KnitPixie*'s swap partner. I may or may not have been shopping already. If I went shopping, I may have bought yarn. Or I may not. mwahahahaha

To my swap partner..

I have not fallen off the face of the knitting planet. I have not forgotten you.

I havent been able to email you yet...but I will! :angelgrin:

I know what you like, what you want, and who you are!

So rest assured, I may not post alot right now, but you ARE being shopped for! :muah:

I'm *KnitPixie*'s swap partner. I may or may not have been shopping already. If I went shopping, I may have bought yarn. Or I may not. mwahahahaha

:pout: Oh man.... are you sure you don't wanna give me even just a little hint:flirt: You know I :heart: You ....LOL is it working yet

:cheering: My swapper sent an email! And a santa identity!! I'm so excited! But there are sooo many of us in this swap, I'll think I'll just give up now trying to guess who it is:teehee:
But whatever shall I get my swappee ??? Hmmm, what lovely yarns shall I send her way, and patterns.... maybe I'll email her again ...or maybe I'll just pick something soft and wonderful!

i keep waffling on what sort of themey idea to do. i really like the theme she recieved in the last swap, and it would be fun, but i don't want this swap to feel redundant for her.... so off to think some more and get my plan of attack together!

guess you meant Reetz......what are you up to???? you have me wondering and getting excited

Well, I heard back from my swapper. I guess she has more of a life than I do on the weekend...
I received and sent a pm to the sneaky KH'er who has me. I guess that she received it...

I think I need to go do some more theme brainstorming...

Hi Swappee...got some neat stuff for you today....and was totally
inspired for ideas! Just coming out of the Surprise Theme swap
I'm totally thinking themed for this package but Christmas/Holiday
theme could be alot of things! :)

Haven't heard from who has me yet but I guess it's a bit too soon
to worry.... :think:

Libbie :)

guess you meant Reetz......what are you up to???? you have me wondering and getting excited

What a Goof I am! Gotta live up to the name! Besides that, the L and the R reside so close together on the keyboard, you know... :teehee:

:pout: Oh man.... are you sure you don't wanna give me even just a little hint:flirt: You know I :heart: You ....LOL is it working yet

hmmmmmmmmmmm a little hint...:psst:

hint: I knit hats.
:hug:

Dear Swap Partner.

I bought you something. I used it to make
