Re: Stashmas: Questions, Concerns and Chatter
I have been reading up on the wishlist and I think I may have gotten WAY to specific. Everyone else is very broad and encompassing.
I thought I would be helping whoever got me but now I am thinking I may have limited them. I will have t wait and see who gets me and ask them if they need a different list......

Re: Stashmas: Questions, Concerns and Chatter
I think you were fine actually! You gave some general stuff (Aida) and some specifics (patterns) nothing wrong with that, there's still plenty of wiggle room.Rose wrote: I have been reading up on the wishlist and I think I may have gotten WAY to specific.

Re: Stashmas: Questions, Concerns and Chatter
I say that if you would be happier with something specific, rather than taking the risk that your gifter interprets your list differently, be specific. I would rather buy someone something they are happy with than not.
That being said, I love surprise and my favorite part of this is seeing what someone else would pick out for me. It gives me the chance of getting something unexpected, that I may have never picked out for myself. So I try to stay general.

Re: Stashmas: Questions, Concerns and Chatter
I was afraid I was being too choosy myself.. And the funny thing is, I'm not really picky about stitching stuff. I was worried if I posted specifics I'd be too limiting, but I also have a ton of alma Lynn or cricket collection things from my mom.
I guess if anybody is confused or whatever, they can PM me.
I do love surprises, however. It makes it more fun. In the end, it's the thought that counts

Re: Stashmas: Questions, Concerns and Chatter
Sorry if this question has already been answered! Some people have said 'US/ UK only' when specifying where they want to post, but if the next person down the list is in a different country then who do they post to?
I hope that makes sense!

Re: Stashmas: Questions, Concerns and Chatter
I think specifics are a good thing as long as you also have some general stuff. I'm used to participating in swaps with long long surveys before hand - one had a 40+ question questionaire for all participants to answer! Granted, this was for an ongoing 6 month long swap with multiple packages sent so it was a bit different. But specifics let me also see a person's style.. For example if someone mentions a few specific patterns they love, while I might not necessarily get that, I might spot something in a similar style that I think they might like and get that for them instead.
I know my list is pretty detailed and kinda long, but I hope that means whoever gets me feels they have plenty of options to choose from. I tried to list somewhat generic stuff too, and I know I'll be thrilled with whatever I get. Unless it's kittens with bows. I think we've all established that kittens with bows are evil. Now if someone can find a way to turn that into snark... I'd love it! But then I'm twisted like that.

the list you see now is just a list of who signed up. the sending list will be posted after the sign up deadline
so if you specified US only for sending the person below you on the sending list would be in the US

Re: Stashmas: Questions, Concerns and Chatter
Done!!! Go to what was the sign in sheet and is now the Send Sheet to see whose Wish List you should be checking out!
Remember you have until Oct 7 to get your recipient's address and Nov 8 to send your gift. Stick to the limits please. Post when you mail your package and recieve your package. No peeking! And before anyone asks (and someone will ) it is midnight December 1 where you live, not Australia if you live in the US or the UK or Europe and not the UK or Europe if you live in the US. I tried for Australia last year but was voted down
