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 sawp. 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 me 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.

Wow! You all are putting a lot of hard work into this project. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to sign up.
So excited! I’m impressed with how serious you guys are, and I’m psyched about the fact you’ll have tutorials and such. That’s reassuring.
Thank you very much for your time and effort and undertaking this event!
I’m making a warping board this week just for the occasion. Happy knitting!
I kid you not, I had a dream that I was dyeing sock yarn with you & strangelittlemama (who’s site seems to be down–what up with that?)–I guess that means I’m in the swap.
I’m so tickled to have made your blogroll! That totally makes my day, and it’s only 8:15.
I ordered my yarn yesterday! This is going to be fun — you guys are so organized!
The dye-o-rama sounds like so much fun. I have my yarn ready and I’m watching for the sign-up.
You guys are so organized!! I can’t wait for the Dye-O-Rama to begin.
go sister!!!
Wow, Dyeing for a Purpose. I need the outlet! (Like I NEED an excuse to dye???)
looks like a great swap… are you signed up for the BANNED yahoo group (database of flakers for swaps). Let me know if you need an invite. Good luck with the exchange, I know how much work they can be!
*drumroll*
I’m ready, I’m ready! Can’t wait!
I want to take part, can’t wait for the registration form
Hello Scout! There seems to be a perception that you win all yarn contests. In case
you want to put that theory to the test I’ll be having one this week over at my site.
Happy knitting!
WOOO HOOOO I;m ready I’m ready! Dyeorama here I come!
How many minutes?
This is going to be great fun. ^_^
That is great that you got a database and form set up - when Kris set mine up for Project Spectrum, it changed my life. I suddenly had free time again!
Glad to see your little project is a success, Scout!
I’m so excited! Love the countdown idea. Is it still two days away?? I can’t wait. (No really, I can’t wait - I’m doing some Kool-Aid dyeing right now!)
