Description:

Sometimes giving something beautiful to another person fills up your heart. In this swap, we will make or purchase a scarf to send to our partner, in anticipation that our partner will give it away! The scarf can be made of any material, but mid-weight to light might be preferred, given that we are entering spring or fall now, depending on our hemisphere!

Once you receive your scarf, you may give it to someone you know well, an acquaintance, or a complete stranger. You may give the scarf to a charity, such as an organization that helps women with limited resources find clothes suitable for interviews. You may give the scarf to be sold at a silent auction to raise money for a charitable purpose. You may leave the scarf somewhere with a note for someone to find. Have fun, and send a short message to your sending partner to tell them a little bit about how you chose where the scarf would go!

Scarves may be store-bought or homemade -- let's put some heart into this swap and select something beautiful that someone else is going to love! My usual guidelines for participation apply- good ratings, message me if you feel that you can enthusiastically participate but have some explaining of your ratings to do.

And, hey! If you like swapping scarves and making scarves and shopping for scarves and wearing scarves, consider joining the "Scarf-Wearing People" group, where I have set up an identical swap! (Shameless group promotion, I admit it :)

Edit: I forgot to mention that I always angel my swaps, and always hope that it won't be necessary to do so :)

This sounds really fun! Can the scarves be silky....square like a bandana or even a pretty bandana?

Absolutely, the only requirement is that they be beautiful enough to be enjoyed by someone else! Spreading the love around is the big goal here ... :)

This is the kind of swap I really love. It's like doing a random act of kindness via someone else. I am going to start thinking now about how I will give away the scarf that I receive.

Aww, kmcscott, you really are the best!
