Zeebee Quick

Finally! Here’s some knitting content. : )

I had some free time earlier this week and wanted to work on something quick and satisfying. A quick poke in my stash brought forth a skein of Colinette Point 5 that Blog-free Nicole (thank you!) sent me two summers ago (after the One Skein Secret Pal swap).

Secret Pal Wrap-Up

This post is long overdue! (Oh, the guilt!) I participated in both Secret Pal 8 and the One Skein Secret Pals Exchange this past summer. I had long enjoyed reading about other people’s experiences in the SP exchanges, and forced myself to start my blog earlier this year so I would be eligible for SP8. Then I saw the premise for 1SSP (send 1 skein for each of the first two months, then a knit/crocheted item made with 1 skein in the third month) and loved it. I’m glad I pariticipated in these exchanges. It was a lot of fun spoiling my secret pals and receiving goodies, too! I don’t think I would want to do multi-swaps again (at least, not for a while). There’s a new Sock-ret Pal that was tempting (and such a cute logo), and is setup a bit differently, with 3 swaps spread out during 6 months (one package every two months). Maybe next time!? more »

Squeal!

I got a plain brown box in the mail yesterday, and I didn’t recognize the name on the return address… but as soon as I noticed it came from San Francisco, I thought, Atlantis? Could it be from my 1SSP?

Anticipation

I was surprised to find a package from Atlantis (my 1SSP) in the mail on Saturday. I squealed and was about to rip it open when I saw this:

One Skein SP Questionnaire

I was contacted by my 1 Skein Secret Pal (whom I’ll call Atlantis, if that’s OK; great name!) and I emailed off my responses. I decided to post a copy here as well, because I’m in some more exchange/swap groups, and these answers could be helpful! I’ve also received an response from my 1SSP spoilĂ©e. She’s currently blogless; so I’ll be emailing her now and then. This weekend, my SP8 group should be getting our matches. I can’t wait! : )

Fess Up

So… I have been meaning to blog about this, but haven’t had a chance yet. I signed up for not one but two secret pal exchanges.

I’ve always enjoyed reading about the various Secret Pal going-ons and generosity over the past two years. But because I’m such a perfectionist, I never could open my blog to the public. I’m glad I finally forced myself to stop fussing around my site and just get it over with. : )

On April 1, signups opened for Secret Pal 8! I’m a bit surprised glad Secret Pals are still going on and thrilled that 1) I was finally eligible (with a live blog), and 2) I didn’t miss the deadline! I’m really looking forward to shopping for a SP! : )

About 1 or 2 weeks into April, I got the Interweave eMail newsletter and saw the blurb for the One Skein Secret Pals Exchange. (That’s a mouthful! How about we use OSSPE? Maybe 1SSPE is better, yeah.) I liked the premise (send 1 skein only to your SP in June, and again in July, then send a handknit (or crocheted) item from one skein to SP in August). After only one day of thinking about it, I sent in my signup information. I should probably get a copy of the book soon. I’ve browsed the OneSkein KAL blog, that cupcake is as cute as can be. Socks and fingerless gloves are easy one-skein projects but I will endeavor to find and create something different from these usual projects. I have more than 2 months to think about about the possiblities.
