Description:

Create for your one partner a small cross stitch in the Year of the Goat theme. The year of the goat begins on Feb. 19, 2015.

Cross-stitching should be a min. Of 30x30 stitches. This can be an unfinished project, but please leave a couple of inches for future finishing. You are welcome to finish the stitchery into something, if desired.

International, contact your partner if needed. Send on time so your partner receives before Feb. 19! I will angel if needed and a Goat will come chew up all the flaker's cross-stitches!

I love goats so I am also hosting this as a public swap but with stricter requirements. Feel free to join both, if interested.

I loved the New Year Cross-stitch swap last year, and I am so glad you are hosting this one now. I will get started with stitching my piece today! :)

This is fun, if I can find a goat pattern I'll join!

@Annet if you (or anyone else) has trouble finding a pattern, PM me and I can help out too. I haven't yet looked for my pattern, either.

Just shown my 8 year old step daughter the finished item. "That's nice" she said, "is it a reindeer?" Lol. Hope my recipient likes it x

??!! So...I see in some places this is called year of the sheep...I've even seen sheep/goat/ram .... I guess they are all similar... Should I open the cross-stitch up to any of those animals? Weigh in with

yes - okay to include all three (goat, ram, sheep) - still sender's choice of them

no -- leave it as goat only

Majority rules, decision by Dec 31 so all still have time to join or exit swap by Jan 5.

I've also seen it referred to as goat/ram/sheep. You started this swap as Year of the Goat so my vote would be to keep it that way x
