3 brand spankin' new skeins of Phildar Copacabana yarn, enough to make the lovely ribbon tank I made last year. The color is Aquatique (the same one featured in the pattern book), and all skeins are the same dye lot. The 3 skeins make up to size 42/44 cm chest measurement . Also up for trade is a brand new copy of the Evasion pattern book, which contains the pattern to make the tank. [Note: I bought this copy of the Evasion pattern book for purposes of trading it. I have my own copy of the same book, and here they are together to show that what I'm trading has never been used.] And! I'll also include a translation into English of the Copacabana tank pattern. To further sweeten the trade, I will include the latest copy of the crafty Marie Claire Idées magazine, also brand new. The magazine contains sewing, knitting, embroidery, decorating and lots of other crafty projects. (Here is a peek inside of it, so you can see some of the neat-o crafty things we do over here in la France.)

I like doing occasional open calls to swaps, because I figure it's a good way to share some French knitting goodness with others, and trades are always fun because they make me feel like I get knitting presents in the mail. This is what I'm looking for in exchange (brand new and never used, please): Rowan 36. Set of five bamboo US3/3.25mm double pointed needles. The Fall 2004 issue of Interweave Knits. Orville Redenbacher Microwave Popcorn. Okay, I'm kidding about the last one. But not about the others, and those are what I'm looking for so, er...please don't offer something else unless it's in addition to those things and you'd like for me to add on something else, too. If you'd like trade with me, e-mail me.

[Update: The call to a swap is CLOSED! Thanks to everyone who kindly offered to swap exactly what I was requesting.]

*Bit of unrelated trivia: I've prepared open calls for bids before. But on companies! [Hee!]
