Dye-O-Rama swap update

From Scout:

"We’re looking at sign-ups taking place this Thursday, April 20th starting at 6:00pm MST. We have decided we will not have a number cut-off this time but we will only have sign ups for 48 hours. If you won’t be around please have someone sign you up okay?

We are lucky enough that Noelle’s husband Cody is our techy guru and is creating an online registrationg form that will go into a database for us. He rocks and we all should thank him big time for helping us.

A few things about the swap. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU ARE GOING TO FLAKE! There’s nothing like having to hunt down flakey participants. Please don’t make us do this okay? If there is any chance you can’t dye one single skein of yarn in 6 weeks then don’t hit that sign up button. You hear? Remember that picture of [Scout] with the hammer and drill? Don’t go there.

There will be a choice on the registration form to sign up to be an Angel. This means you are willing to dye a second skein of yarn to replace a Swapper who had the nerve to flake out on us. It’s nice to know we can contact someone to help us out if we need it. I’m hoping we don’t need Angels but it’s nice to have that as a back up plan.

We also have a website in the works for the swap. Everyone involved will be able to register there and post. This way people who don’t have blogs can post questions, updates, post photos, etc. We already have a few guests who are dyeing pros who are going to share some tips with everyone and be available to help answer questions."

Later on today we will have a countdown timer for y’all so you know exactly when the sign up will start. Let us know if you have any other questions. We’re really excited about the swap and already have over 100 people ready to play. Pretty cool!

So just keep checking back to know exactly when the sign up will be. "

Edited to Add: All people who want to participate should sign up during the 48 hour period, even if you have posted a comment on one of the blogs. That way the swap-hostesses will have all the info they need in one format.
