The time has come!!! We had such a blast with the last HSKS, and so many of the ladies made gorgeous bags, that we thought we'd have another one! This round of HSKS allow the swap members to either swap sock kits are scarf kits. This is how it works:
1st years: Sock Kits
2nd & 3rd: Scarf Kits (Optional)
If you are a 2nd & 3rd year Hogwarts swapper you can choose which you would like to swap - a sock kit or a scarf kit. Just make sure that you note that in your registration form down below. Second and Third years can pass on the sorting hat and choose which House they would like to belong to this time around.
You will be swapping a sock or scarf kit which will which should total an approximate $30 to $40 and include these items:1. A handmade (by you!) kit bag in your pals House colors- this can either be knitted, crocheted or sewn, but you must MAKE the bag!
2. Sock or scarf yarn in your pals house colors
3. A pair of new knitting needles
4. A set of stitch markers in your pals house colors - handmade or purchased
5. A sock or scarf pattern
You may feel free to add whatever little items that you choose to make your package special for your pal.
Musts: For this swap you must have a blog hosted anywhere (It does not have to be a Blogspot blog - my personal blog is a WordPress blog), and you must post in your blog at least once a week. This is so that your partner will have peace of mind that you'll be around for the duration of the swap. You also have to acknowledge in a blog post when you've received your package from your swap partner within 3 days of receiving it.
Before signing up for the swap you must be sorted into one of Hogwarts four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Please look to the sidebar for links to the Sorting Hat.
Prefects
I will need four people to volunteer as
prefects. I'll need one for each House and your role is to simply act as the House Cheerleader. Visit blogs and answer questions that swap members may have.
Quidditch
There will be three rounds of Quidditch during this swap. There will be
no weekly trivia. Quidditch consists of a trivia challenge, picture scavenger hunt, and a hunt for the Golden Snitch.
How to JoinSign ups will be closed after the swap reaches 100 participants or by August 29th. Please fill out the form below. Afterwards you'll be brought back to this site. If you would like to have a international pal, please say so in the comments section, otherwise you will be matched with someone within your home country or very close to it :)
This is not a secret swap so you will be able to email your partner to see what her preferences are if they are not answered in the questionnaire.
If you do not see your name listed in the side bar at least two days after you sign up, please email me to see what is going on at bordeaux700 AT yahoo DOT com.
