For those in San Francisco and the Bay Area, if you have yarn you cannot use or plan to unravel a knit item, consider donating to SCRAP which upcycles tons of arts and craft supplies for creative use by teachers, artists and crafters at their warehouse. Check it out at https://www.scrap-sf.org/. A big yarn sale is coming up July 25-27!
For future iterations, maybe a way to gift shipping of our item, if we’re in a position to do so, or to gift into a shipping pool? My heart is so happy for this swap. 💗💗💗
I love this idea. I don’t have anything to offer since I just started garment knitting this year. I’ve knitted socks almost exclusively for many years, and those have been for family, mostly my husband. I was afraid of garments having some spectacular failures! But this year was the “give it go” year.
I will be happy to look at what others have to offer.
I love this as so many things we make are special and we can't put a price on it. gifting it values its special nature and prevents it from being all about the money.
When I was selling yarn a lot (destashing) I just put shipping included, and then added a little to the price I was charging to cover part of the shipping expense.

I’ve donated to Scrap before and bought stuff there too. It’s an amazing place!
Yes! That’s exactly what I’m hoping for!
This is so lovely. Do you think it will be a somewhat regular occurrence? Perhaps twice a year or quarterly?
Can it work for those of us in UK?
YES!!! Because the recipient pays shipping, it will work for folks in the US to claim a UK item, or for UK folks to claim a US item!

You have the sweetest heart, my friend. I'll ponder how to make this happen.
Brilliant! I’ve found a shawl and a cowl right off the bat. Thank you for organizing!!!

I love that you might be a new home for a sweater! And also that you are trying out garment knitting!

Annie this is brilliant and I definitely have some shawls I would love to post.
