Description:

I stole this lovely idea from noel's winter scarf swap - Europe edition. (With permission, OF COURSE.)

Your task is to make a winter scarf in your partner's favourite colour(s).

No specific requests other than if you're allergic to a certain fibre! Try to make something you'd like to receive though. ;)

If you're worried about the length of scarf to make, on one knitting podcast the woman said she likes to make her scarves the length of her arms so itÒ€ℒs like sheÒ€ℒs giving the person a warm hug. This is generally the rules I've begun to follow for all scarves I make, but it's totally up to you! :)

This swap is North America only. If I have any questions about your rating history, I will message and/or ban you.

Just wondering if "North America" means US & Canada only? or Mexico, Caribbean, etc, too?

Natural fibers only please! And I like to wear it against my skin, so nothing itchy. Other then that, have a ball! (or a skein) (groan, bad pun)

cooan ~ does it have to be knitted/crocheted ~ can it be fleece or another cozy fabric?

cooan 09/28/2007 #

Umm... I was including Mexico in that, I don't know what continent Caribbean is part of. ;)

I think if it's sewn form fabric that's just fine. :) I'm going for a handmade thing though, no storebought!

I love the idea of this swap-- I love knitting, and scarves are great for knitting when you're watching a movie or something.

Whoever gets me-- I am severely allergic to cats and most dogs (I only say this because one lady I know? Actually used dog fur to knit up a shawl once. It was beautiful, but I thought I was going to die after being around her for ten minutes). Other than that-- do as you wish!

I know it says favorite color(s), but I'd LOVE my partner to death if they made mine out of maroon and gray instead (my school colors ^_^) but if not pink is my favorite color du jour.

My favorite color is indigo.

Since I am so bulky myself and I live in the Deep South, I prefer either a skinny extra-long scarf or something lacy. I'm not trying to be demanding - I just wanna wear whatever you make for me. :o)

And please no smokers -it takes forever to get the smell out (yes, I am an ex-smoker who now cannot abide the smell).

I'm so looking forward to this swap!

Whoops. I'm so sorry! I missed the part about no specific requests. Ignore my previous comments, please. (Does that count as another specific request? Oh no! I've done it again!)

My favorite colors are Purple and Green and I am not picky - I just don't care for Scratchy fibers. Long and thin would be good for me as I am really tall, but it does not really matter!

NancyH 10/ 6/2007 #

I like all colors but my favorites are blue, red, and black. I also don't like scratchy yarn..ie scratchy wool. Other than that, anything would be great! I can't wait to get started. When do we get our partners?

Hmmm, my favorite colors are shades of blue. But, you know what? Surprise me! (Just no neons, please!) I prefer wool, I love it against my skin, but am not picky. Whatever yarn you have hanging out in your stash. I'm just psyched to get something handmade that I didn't get myself! I have cats, so no animal allergies to worry about. Just please no cigarette smoke, I get ill when I smell it.

Hello All! This is exciting. I am kind of an ametuer at crocheting/knitting, but I can make a scarf! LOL My favorite color is Green, but not bright neon-ish type greens. I love the earthier shades of greens and browns and suchI have no preference/allergies concerning fibers.

beawhiz 10/15/2007 #

I love greens, blues, scarlets/maroons. Other than that, no specific requests!

Just a reminder to everyone--Veteran's Day on Nov. 12th is a postal holiday in the US. You might want to get your scarf out in the mail tomorrow instead. : )
