I think Sockapalooza sign-ups were only open for about two days because it filled up so fast (1000 participants). Just hang in there and do check the swaps and knit-alongs site posted above as they seem to be pretty on the ball.

I do craftster swaps, and I've looked at swapbot too, but I have, like gwen + cats, thought some of their swaps were a little weird. Thanks for the flickr link, I must try that. What I'm curious about are the ones people post about on their blog, but maybe I just need to read more blogs more frequently... Thanks everyone!

All the ATC groups like a swap, and there are a couple of independent sites promoting general international swapping, which Google may help with. If you have kids who make ATCs, I have a Flickr group called http://www.flickr.com/groups/kidsmakeatcs for them to have a swap, too Hope this helps x There are at least 2 groups on Flickr for general swapping

Those are the types I have been a part of. they are also places that host swaps ( I think it is called swap bot but not sure on that as I have not done one of those yet). lots of time the swap happen on forums and other times a blog owner just decides to host a swap and announces it on the ir blog.
