F1 | Mini Skein Swap with Tracy Workman | |
Description: | Rules: At least 7 grams each. Please skein them up (and if you have the info, please try and label them.) How it will work: Bring a mini skein, take a mini skein. So if you bring 1, you take 1. If you bring 5 mini skeins, you may take 5 mini skeins (3, 4, 20, etc.) Got it? Easy Peasy! If you have a class/5k you may send a proxy in your place to swap for you. (Please let us know who your proxy is.) To make things fair, as you bring up your mini skeins, we’ll have you write down your Ravelry/Discord name and the number of skeins you are trading, then once everyone has turned in their skeins, we’ll draw from the hat for each persons turn to pick. Similar to the $20 skein swap we’ve had in the past. Oh and the TWIST? You only have 20 seconds to pick out your new skeins during your turn (for the sake of time!) IF you don’t make the 20 second time limit, you have to put ALL the mini’s you did choose back on the table, and your name goes back in the hat/bucket/bowl! Say you are picked first, if you don’t hit your 20 seconds, you could end up middle or last, depending on when your name gets chosen again! Any leftovers will be put on the winding table for first come first serve. | |
