Description:

There is an old saying, cold hands, warm heart but this is different and the weather won't always be hot! This is a swap for fingerless mitts/gloves or wristwarmers.

I love fingerless mittens and wristwarmers! They don't take much yarn so they are great stashbusters and there are loads of free patterns, from simple sew-up rectangles to minor works of art involving lace and beads.

You just have one partner and send one pair of mitts or warmers. You may suggest colour preferences below in the comments. To participate you need a rating of 4.85 or better! No newbies please... We don't want any no-sends, but an extra warm heart is always welcome :)

This will be an international swap, so don't sign up if you're not up to sending overseas.

Do these have to be crocheted, I have no clue about crocheting. I do like using fleece however.

@TraySeeH I will not force anybody to knit or crochet, but this is a swap in the knitting category. Speaking for myselfe I'd love anything as long as it's made in some kind of wool fabric (knit, crochet, felt etc)

I just want to let you know that even though there are persons with no rating or a too low rating joining, I will remove them if they do not have a rating of 4.85 or more by december 25th.

I'm very excited about this! For my partner - please no mohair because I am allergic (hives - it's not pretty). But anything else goes.

I everyone, I too love this swap and can't wait to get started. I don't mind receiving knit or crochet and any color is fine with me.

I love natural fibers, especially alpaca or wool/alpaca blends and "happy" colors - red, pink, orange, blue, turquoise, fuschia - you get the idea. I can't wait to start knitting!

Because I live in Florida I would prefer fingerless gloves of a lighter weight, I open to any color. I need some for at work because the air conditioning is so cold!

This sounds wonderful. I will wear mine at the office (I'm the first one here each day and it's a wee bit chilly till things get going!) and when driving. I'm happy to receive anything that my partner makes. Though said partner might want to know that I live where we have real winter, I have no allergies, my favorite coats are a medium blue color and a black pea coat; that white gloves will be impossible for me to keep clean and that when I buy gloves, I take a women's large (or in the U.S. a size 8.). Hope this helps can't wait to find out who I get and where I am sending.

Wishes for my wristwarmers - Norway is cold, so preferably something not too heavy in wool/wool blends (I prefer natural fibers). I'm love all colors, but the light shades and white has to be washed a bit too often for my liking.

I can hardly wait to see who's my partner here :) Happy swapping all!

I have no preferences either for color style or fiber. i am easy to please. well maybe except for the fact that i HATE red heart super saver yarn YUCK!!! It is also real winter here ice wind and snow so keep me warm. Looking forward to making something fun.

hellovader 12/26/2007 #

The only preference I have is nothing in pastels and not too frilly.

abbehope 02/ 3/2008 #
