On the Injured List
Thanks for all the advice on avoiding hand injuries. Just to be safe, I'm putting down the needles for a few days. I want to work on Orangina during my vacation next week, so I'm playing it safe now. In the meantime, I've been working on matching up the May swaps for the Project Spectrum hand-dyed Yarn Swap. We have one international participant this month, so if anyone is willing to do the international postage thing, please let me know (probably $10-15).
In other news, we have a sponsor for the swap! Wool2Dye4.com is going to donate a skein of undyed fingering-weight sock yarn each month - any ideas on how to award prizes? I can do a random drawing, unless anyone has a better idea.
I was also thinking it might be fun to add something to the yarn swap - maybe a little something else hand-made in the color of the month? You guys are so creative, you're probably already doing that. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw it out there. Edited: You don't have to send anything else handmade - but if you want to, go for it! Just communicate with your pal so no one is disappointed.

I'm willing to do the International Swap-Thing, if no one else wants to. Sounds like fun. And I definitely like the idea of putting something else small in the package. :)

Putting something else in the package is a good idea. I did that last month, though it wasn't handmade. Can't wait to see who my swap partner is! I'm looking forward to working with green.

Putting something else in the package is a good idea, but I would not state that it *has* to be handmade. Some of us simply do not have time.

It's a good idea to put down the needles for a couple of days as your hand has been hurting - knitting certainly won't make it better and you could end up with a carpal tunnel syndrom or such - hey, we wouldn't want you to suffer through that! So, do take it easy a bit, and afterwards you can continue knitting full speed! :)

I'm always OK with international shipping - if not this month, then next!
