Knitting Notebook Swap

I am in a Knitting Notebook Swap....it is a notebook swap that we send off (composition) type books along, and we share some of the things that we like. I knitted a small swatch of yarn into a square with a heart pattern. It wasn't a required piece but I had this left over yarn that I wanted to use. (it was from the cowl....see prev post!).. Anyways, I decided to add it to the notebook and also this tag!

I have a recipe and a page that I created using MDS and also this pattern, which I printed smaller (2 on a page) so it would fit on this composition notebook page! I love red, and had this red dotted piece of scrapbook paper. I love how festive it looks....you can see the other page to the left, I used the Tropical papers from last summer....

This is a good way to use up scraps, and also continue to do some creative things that I otherwise wouldn't necessarily do! I am enjoying this swap! The notebooks however are few and far between...I guess the person ahead of me, likes to ponder on them for awhile, so she had this one for almost a month and 1/2 I think....(maybe).

Anyways, it is now ready to send on to the next person!

Round Robin Notebook Swap!

KNITTING TAGS.............
Ravelry is one of the other groups that I belong to. I love to visit the pages and see what other knitters are doing and also to get free patterns and ideas for my next project!

I am now, getting more involved in a swap, it is a notebook swap! Round Robins means that this book will go to the next person on the list. I decorated my book, which is just a composition book by covering the pages with scrapbook paper, and other things so that it has a little bit of me. I didn't think it out very well, so it isn't very ....um..ME, but I did stamp a few things for it.



What I decided to do, was to stamp these knit tags for the people in the swap, for each of them to take one of these. Hopefully, they will only take 1..since there won't be enough for 2 tags.......
I stamped the tags on Crumb Cake cardstock in Basic Black, and then punched a 1/8" hole. I added the trio flower punch in Real Red (retired punch) and then added a piece of string for the tag. It is attached to the front cover in a clear bag.

Inside the book, I stamped a title which says 'loving ravelry" I stamped the knitted sweaters as a border in Marina Mist

Underneath, I wrote all the things I like about ravelry.

It isn't what you put in the book - you just have to put things in. I am giving each person involved 3 pages, and they are all marked with a post it.

RAVELRY is FREE! All you have to do is sign in and register. You can be from any country, in any language, and knitters/crocheters are welcomed! There are sub groups within and you can be a Stampin' Up! demo, scrapbooker, or Single mom, Christian, love Slow Cookers, etc etc etc....

click on the word RAVELRY anywhere in this post...and it will take you there!

I also decided to use the knit stamps because maybe...I might get some interest in selling the stamps...heh heh...you never know!!!
