It’s that time of year again for the Spring STS. I am stepping down as organizer for the STS. This swap has a lot of tracking involved and is a big swap to organize. If there is someone that has been in the STS for a number of rounds that is very familiar with the rules and has organizing experience that would like to take over hosting this swap that would be great! :slight_smile: I would be happy to send you my point tracking spreadsheet. :slight_smile:

STS was so much fun! I probably won’t be able to participate in a spring round but will keep an eye out for a fall STS.

I won’t be in the spring one, but hopefully I will have some stuff ready for the fall.

Anyone willing to host in the Fall?

I don’t have enough experience with STS (or hosting!) to host. Would not be able to participate in spring, but maybe fall.

I forget how long the STS lasts… I get a bit harried around Halloween because I host a party every year, but outside of that I would be able to host.

That would be great! :slight_smile: The fall round usually starts in early Sept and ends in either late October or early Nov. About a month and a half or so. You can set the dates that would work best for you. Maybe something like open the first week of Sept and then open swapping ends on Oct 17 with Oct 17 - Oct 24 the over/under week? That would completely finish the swap a week before Halloween. :jack_o_lantern:

Yes, it would be fall for me too if I am able to participate even at that time. If i can get things ready before, then i would like to. It was fun before! :smiley:

@irid3sc3nt I think you’d do a great job!

That would be awesome, and I would greatly appreciate it. We normally have more swaps going on then and I didn’t want to leave the other mods to have to do them while I concentrated on this one! Plus, I already have some stuff (mainly notebooks right now) ready for this swap. Actually, I am working on something for it right now. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

(tiny cheer of “yay, someone else volunteered before I talked myself into overcommitting to something else.” Thanks, irid3sc3nt. :green_heart:)

After how many messages I sent bluebird in the last STS, I think we all proactively owe irid3sc3nt a cookie (or a stiff drink :joy:).

Maybe an organizer’s tax of getting to pick one left-over item from every shop or something? :laughing:

Please include me in updates about the Fall STS! I am currently focusing all of my energy on anxiety and depression (including lack of energy or interest in things I used to enjoy). I struggle with the weather this time of year. Gray, damp, cold, gray, wet and gray.

I always enjoy this swap and have bought patterns off Etsy to make things specifically for STS when I am feeling up to it. Thank you @irid3sc3nt! I would hate to not have this to look forward to. I’ll be back with lots of little crocheted goodness. :heart:
