Instructions

We are very excited to get this Swap started!

Here are instructions on how to get signed up.

  1. Read the Rules. By signing up you are agreeing to the posted guidelines.
  2. If you are a previous swapper, email or PM TheSheepGeek and let her know you will be participating again. Please make sure your profile is current and correct. Proceed to step 5.
  3. If you are a new swapper, Register as a member of this site. Registration will close on March 27th so don’t delay!
  4. Complete your Profile Page
  5. Upload a 50×50 avatar, if you like.
  6. Join the flickr Loopy Ewe Swap group and post pictures that you would like to share
  7. Once the swap begins you will be able to post blog messages, view your swap partner’s profile information, etc.
  8. Blog posts will be held for moderation until an admin can review them. Just a precaution against spam and spoilers.
  9. To add flickr images first tag the images with “loopyswap”, add them to the Loopy Swap group, then you can search for you picture by tag on the post page. Under the text box click Photos, then choose “Everyone” and not “My Photos”, which only shows KnottyDaisy’s photo’s then enter “loopyswap” in the search box and hit enter. We will be working on a way to improve this part to hopefully retrieve group photos by default.

We are still working out some of the technical details so keep an eye out for announcements as the swap progresses.

If you have questions contact us:

  • Technical Questions (how do I post to the blog, how do I display a picture on flickr or the blog, etc)
  • Swap Questions (what should I knit, I don’t understand the rules, is it ok if I…., etc)
