Pay it Forward Exchange

Becka at Knitting Help posted about the Pay it Forward Exchange for knitters. It's truly a cool concept. It feels a bit like a chain letter, but I'm hoping that people really do "pay it forward." This seems to be the verbiage that is being posted on the other knitting blogs:

It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. You all know I’m already a PIF type of person. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

So post a reply if you want in and then go post a similar message on your blog! PAY IT FORWARD!

I have arrived here by a very circuitous route, but here I am. I would very much like to be one of your angels please.

I'm really quite taken with this idea.

aknita, I've got you down. I'll send you a questionaire after I get one from Julie (so I can see what she is asking :) ) Goad you finally made it here. I guess we need to figure out how to organize this a tad bit better!
