As a wise friend of mine has observed, people what knit and crochet seem to rarely get knitted/crocheted items from others. And this should be remedied. And we have the internet and the concept of swaps.

The poll is under the cut, but if you're going to discuss, please comment here (there's a link to the LJ crosspost at the bottom of it). The deadline looks like it's gonna be reasonable, and yes, this is open to people who want to learn to knit and/or crochet. Thought I should emphasize that. :)
