Description:

This is my first of hopefully many swaps to host and I have lots of great ideas for them. I hope others will be excited and want to join as well. If you have any suggestions on what I can do to improve please feel free to message me and let me know!

The item for this swap must be hand knitted. The theme is anything that fits into "winter". You will have ONE partner for this swap. I will be creating an international version of this swap as well, but this swap is U.S. BASED ONLY. So if you are outside of the U.S. please check my profile for the international version.

Knitted items should be fairly quick knits that don't take longer than the 2 weeks given to make. Please spend a little more time on it however than just one hour...it should take more time to make than that. Size or item type is up to you as long as it fits the winter theme, so can be gloves, or a granny square with snowflake pattern...up to you! Be sure to check your partner's profile to see if there is anything they like and for what colors they love.

Would love to join in but a 4.5 and newbies on this type of swap taking time and energy to make scares me. Maybe next time.

Thanks for the feedback @ladydy5 . I wasn't sure what the best feedback rating was to put on it, and I know as a newbie myself, I was barely able to find any swaps that I could do...so its really hard to get started on this site. I can change the rating for my next swap though, what do you think is fair? Also, I will angel for anyone who gets flaked, although I hope that doesn't happen!

I changed it, to not allow those that have not been rated at all yet. ;)

When you have another like this and I've got a rating (I just found this site very early this morning) I would love to join. Maybe by then I'll have time to fluff out the profile.

@JenniferWingard sounds great!! Just keep an eye on my profile and you'll see them there :)

I have changed the swap to allow Crochet as well as knit. All future swaps will allow both. If anyone prefers knit only let me know! I also changed lowest rating to 4.8.
