Updated FAQ's for ongoing 6 x 6 square exchange:

FAQ - Ongoing 6 x 6 Exchange.

Q: How many squares?

R: Two



S: How do I participate?

T: A sign-up sheet is posted near the end of the month, for the
following month, entitled/subjected: 6 x 6 sign-ups for
_________ (month).



U: What is the protocol?

V: You will be assigned a partner who has also signed up for that
month. Your next step is to contact your partner off-list, and
exchange information a} Real name if using an alias, Snail Mail
address. b} Color preference, if you have one. c} Yarn types can
also be discussed with your partner, although the general preference
has been worsted weight, aka DK, and acrylic or an acrylic blend
(for allergy and washability reasons)



W: Are all squares 6 x 6?

X: Yes. Swatching can help you achieve this measurement goal. The
recommendation is that, realizing that no one is perfect, it is
better for your squares to be slightly smaller, rather than larger
than 6 x 6.



Y: Are squares knit or crochet?

Z. Either or both. This decision is up to the maker, not the recipient.



Z: My squares are done, now what?

Z: Send them to your partner. Email your partner offlist and tell them
they're on their way. You may also post at rcty: 6 x 6 sent.



Z: I have received my squares, now what?

Z: Post at rcty: 6 x 6 received. Also, it is recommended that you also
email your partner.



Z: A situation has arisen... what to do?

Z: If you cannot meet your obligation, please let your partner know as
soon as possible. Also, do inform the management team asap.
Arrangements can be made to accomodate everyone.



Z: Am I automatically included in the exchange once I've signed up?

Z: NO. You'll need to sign up each and every month that you wish to be
included. (this way, one can 'drop-out' when necessary, and re-join
when you are ready, or your 'situation' changes.)

**IMPORTANT NOTE**: It has been decided that if you are behind two full
months in the exchange, you will not be allowed to sign up until you
have caught up with your OBLIGATION. Sorry about this, but we must be
'fair' to all involved, and keep this FUN for all concerned!


Any other questions can be directed to the newsgroup rcty, under the
subject 6 x 6 questions. You may also have concerns that you wish to
inquire about off-list. The 6 x 6 management team consists of: Cher R.
Nora B. Noreen J.

Thank you for your participation in the 6 x 6 square-exchange project.

Just in CASE this didn't come up on some browsers or newsreader clients, I
decided to just leave it and do a followup, as sometimes the original post
gets 'lost' but the followups/replies threads DO show up.....
HTH,
