FAQ'S for monthly 6x6 exchange
FAQ - Ongoing 6 x 6 Exchange.
Q: How many squares? A: Two Q: How do I participate? A: A sign-up sheet is posted near the end of the month at RCTY, for the following month, entitled/subjected: 6 x 6 Exchange sign-ups for _________ (month). Q: What is the protocol? A: You will be assigned a partner who has also signed up for that month. One of the coordinators will post a list at RCTY under the subject: _______ (month) 6 x 6 Partners. 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, and acrylic or an acrylic blend (for allergy and washability reasons) (!!!) REMINDER: the MAKER decides if the squares will be knit or crochet, NOT the receiver. (!!!)The RECEIVER *can* request color preference. (!!!) Acrylic or an acrylic blends are prefered for washabilty and allergy concerns. (!!!) *most* participants are using worsted or DK weight yarn *****IMPORTANT***** Please attempt to have your squares DONE and possibly mailed by the 20th of the month!!! Q: Are all squares 6 x 6? A: 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. Q: Are squares knit or crochet? A. Either or both. This decision is up to the maker, NOT the recipient. Q: My squares are done, now what? A: Send them to your partner. Email your partner offlist and tell them they're on their way. Please do not clog up the r.c.t.y. newsgroup with messages that they've been sent. Numerous complaints have been made regarding needless posts. (!!!) Re-read the above! Q: I have received my squares, now what? A: NOW Post at rcty:___________ (month) 6 x 6 received in the subject line, and then in the message: from________ (your assigned partner) Also, it is recommended that you also email your partner offlist. Q: A situation has arisen... what to do? A: If you cannot meet your obligation, please let your partner know as soon as possible. Also, do inform the management team offlist, asap. Arrangements can be made to accomodate everyone. Q: Am I automatically included in the exchange once I've signed up? A: 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. (currently a *silent* third musketeer!) Thank you for your participation in the 6 x 6 square-exchange project. The Management Team aka "CNN" |
