Fall crochet block swap, sign ups until Oct 15th

[Kassaundra]

Do they have to be in baggies? I got gallon ziplocks and they don't fit flat. I can fold them up and send them but I'm wondering if I could put a piece of masking tape on them with my name? Do I only need to have my name on them?

I would worry masking tape directly on the blocks may leave a residue, especially if they get hot. I think tagging them w/ a piece of paper w/ your name and then taking a small piece of yarn through the block and through the paper tied off would be a better way to tag them. I think the plastic baggie is added insurance against the potential damages (water) of the post office. The 12 inch blocks do not fit flat in a gallon baggie true. I have folded mine also.

I used the Brute Force and Ignorance method and just laid them as flat as possible and squished the rest.

Sweet! Got it! Thanks! They are bagged and tagged and ready to go, just need to grab a box and hit the PO on Thurs! Hope you guys like them!

The ones in the book we got come out between 4 and 8 inches for the most part. I think the 6 inches we've been doing might work if we can add a round or something to some of them.

Sent.

Geometrics sound fun, what kind of size were you thinking?

Taking them to the post office after we vote.

Cool can't wait to see them all.

I'm securing and trimming tails today, that should complete all my swap blocks. Still have the extra's to do for the blanket though.

Didn't realize how many tails I had to do!

I may go through a whole tube of liquid stitch!

I only weave mine in and leave them at that, do a lot of people secure them with glue?
