Hi, (to @artsycandice and anyone else who might be interested in a wall hanging!)
These are the colors I have at first glance that fit the pattern requirements…feel free to message me if any of those speak to you & you’d like a custom order…happy to accommodate! And of course I am willing & able to make a yarn run if you have a hankering for a color you don’t see here!
According to the pattern writeup, it should only take a couple of hours? So I’m thinking one point

Oh, I also have 1 skein of a pretty peachy-coral like:

I reduced prices in my shop. I haven’t had the chance to add anything new, though. But, I did finally finish the amigurumi for my grandniece. And, now…onto the lederhosen for my son’s school project. :weary:

Okay guys…home stretch here :slight_smile:

I’ve just updated the points tally and the claims list.
If you could take a moment to check it (to make sure there are no discrepancies), that would be awesome!

Claims will be accepted through midnight EST on Sunday, May 16. So yes, you still have time to shop.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Honestly, how it’s counted confused me. But it looks like what I think is right? I appreciate your efforts!

I’d never done a STS before, so I can check it off my list! Thanks for hosting, @loves2experiment!

Haha…it can get messy pretty quickly :slight_smile:

Here’s a way to do a final count:

  • add up all the points for claims you have received (we’ll call this number x)
  • add the starting 3 loaner points to x (so we have x + 3)
  • add up all the points for claims you have made (we’ll call this number y)
  • subtract y from (x + 3)
  • if your final number is 3 points, you’re good to go. anything less than 3 points, you can expect more claims to even things out. anything more than 3 points, you need to go shopping.

okay, i need more caffeine…

scratch that…i’m overthinking things :frowning:

To get final count of points:

(3 + sum of points for claims you have received) - (sum of points for claims you have made) = final count of points

and yada, yada, yada about what to do if you have 3 points or more/less than 3 points.

We are done with claims for the swap…and there are no over/under claims to be made because every swapper is back at 3 points!!! Now we wait for the last batch of swap packages to arrive at their new homes.

Thanks for making this such an awesome round.
You guys rock! :slight_smile:

Yes, thank you. I am already looking forward to the fall swap. I need to remind myself to craft with this in mind so I have little extras made all year to add.
