The 'Picking' Swap idea :)

Heyyyy there,it's me again!
So I was browsing through Bindiibabe's creations and I was like 'If only I had time/skills/materials/etc to make it...'.
Well,here's my idea!
How about a swap in which partners choose from the others projects the one that they like and ask their partner to make one for them!
Of course it would be neccesary to agree on project's time consumption and complication levels,but still,it's interesting.
Hope You understand my ramblings-I'm not a native speaker Happy

I think thats a pretty good idea. I've quite often looked at other people's profile and lusted after things I can't make.

Would we choose partners by the old 'names out the hat' method or would the host pair people according to the sort of things they wanted?

I guess I have a quite a good idea: Everyone will choose 3 partners they'd like to swap with,and I'll randomly assign partners form those that each person chose Happy and if it'll suddenly look like we have an odd number of swappers or something,we's go back to 'names out of the hat' Happy

Yup!! Great idea!

*rushes off to see who created all those cute little crocheted items!

For future reference; I love Agata's crocheted berets,Libby's crocheted wrap & embroidered necklace, Joss' corset top & Pamela's Anthropologie bag!

I'm really flattered bindibabe, but also panicked! You've picked 2 projects that took me months to do!

Suggestion: Perhaps once we're paired up, if our partner has picked time consuming items or something we can't recreate, we can suggest different things that we are happy to make, that will include/combine elements of the other larger projects?

Don't worry, Libby-loo! I was just mentioning things I liked, I wasn't putting in an order. Just because I can't do it, doesn't mean I don't realize how long it takes Happy
However, maybe you could perhaps do a brooch or something inspired by one of them???
