Below are my answers to the Big Bag Swap. If you are looking for a neat little swap then check out http://bigbagkalswap.blogspot.com I know that they are still taking sign ups. The idea of this swap is to knit the big bag ( a free pattern that knits up really fast) then fill it with goodies for your partner.
