Description:

Autumn is QUICKLY approaching in the Northern Hemisphere and we will all need some nice warm socks & hot tea to keep us warm in September, October and November! This swap will be just just that - a Cozy Socks & Tea Swap! Of course, everyone is allowed to join (not just us heading into Autumn/Winter)!

In this swap, we will each have ONE PARTNER. To that partner, we will send ONE PAIR of cozy socks and ONE single-serve packet of tea. Both items must be BRAND NEW. You may choose to knit the socks, but please check with your partner first to see if they prefer store-bought or handmade first. I've left a large window to send in case people DO want to knit them. Feel free to include a friendly little note along with your socks and tea as well. :)

Cozy socks = socks that will keep your feet WARM during the crisp, cool months of Autumn. They can be slipper socks, those fun chunky socks with the rubber grips on the bottom, regular socks that are thicker than normal, etc. You get the idea. :) Feel free to send fun socks with nice patterns and pretty colors too!

What NOT to send: regular, everyday socks, Dollar Tree socks (they are far too thin).

The price limit for this swap is at your discretion. You may spend what you wish. Remember this is an INTERNATIONAL swap so you may ship to another country. But, you may also receive cute Autumn socks and Tea from another far off land!

When you sign up for this swap, please be sure to include your SOCK or SHOE SIZE in the comments section OR on your profile somewhere. Your partner will need this information!

Remember to include your Swap-bot username somewhere inside the package!

Note: Be sure to check profiles for tea allergies and strong dislikes! If you have questions, feel free to ask via PM or below!

DO NOT FLAKE! I am setting the lowest rating at 4.8. Those with recent 1s and 3s must contact me before signing up! I will check profiles before assigning partners!!

Let's have fun! Happy Swapping!

I will join closer to the date. I would love homemade. But can not knit a row!

Just to clarify by packet do you mean a box of or a single bag? I am fine with either and love fuzzy warm socks.

sim 07/25/2012 #

Can it be a packet of loose tea or it has to be a packet of individually wrapped tea bags? And we contact the partners for sock sizes or they put them down here?

GrammaSherry 07/25/2012 #

@sim - I would love loose tea! but not my swap.

ArtisticExpression 07/25/2012 #

Hi all! You may send either a single serve bag or a box of tea, but this swap only requires you to send a single serve bag. Also, please check with your partner (when assigned) on their preferences of tea. Some people are not fond of loose-leaf tea and/or they don't have the means to brew it. :) I will revise the swap to include sock size info. Thanks for reminding me!

leashingfear 07/26/2012 #

Just to be sure...by "cozy socks", you mean like slipper socks with rubber skids on the bottom or those soft fluffy/fuzzy type, right? Socks you would wear around the house but not really with shoes?

I'll be watching until the date gets closer. :)

ArtisticExpression 07/26/2012 #

Any socks that look comfy or "Autumn-like" would be just fine. Obviously, the thicker/chunkier/warmer the better! A paper thin pair of Dollar Tree socks does NOT work for this swap. I will include this in my swap info above along with monetary value, which I will leave up to sender. Thanks for the tip! :) I appreciate all the help everyone!

HelenG6 08/16/2012 #

I wear size 9 Ladies, not sure for European sizing on that. Please don't send up to size 9. It's too tight. I prefer thin socks I can wear with loafers which I enjoy.

Yoshi 08/19/2012 #

tanjch 08/21/2012 #

my size is an europian 38 - i love crazy patterns/pics/etc. (the more the better) on socks so they stand out when you wear black :)

LetsStartARiot 08/21/2012 #

My size is UK 9, European 43-44, USA 10.5-12. I love thick fluffy fuzzy and colourful socks :D As for tea, I like any kind except for fruit teas, and I wouldn't mind receiving loose tea :)

juliedro 08/21/2012 #

hi! My size is 37 - european and I do not mind any pattern as long as it's not animal print (like leopard,I'm not into that). But crazy, cute, dark, normal, anything would do! I love surprises! and if you can't find 37 and you find 38 as size, that is ok too, I never mind a bit bigger.As for tea I love chai teas, but anything would do except plain black (black with flavour is good though). Loose tea ok too!

principeta 08/21/2012 #

Can someone knit me a pair of socks?I would be thrilled!!!We could do private swap for it.

FundyGirl 08/21/2012 #

I wear a size 8 shoe in US sizing. I'm pretty sure socks are the same. I'm not sure what size that comes to in European sizing, but I'm clearly going to have to figure it out, right? :) I especially love soft, fluffy socks, but anything that keeps my feet warm will work. :)

xomama 08/21/2012 #

I wear a size 5 shoe in Canada.... I have little feet :) Any tea except chamomile or strawberry works for me! Love loose teas too!

barbieloufromKY 08/21/2012 #

USA size - 9-11.....Tea? Gosh, I think I like it all - bagged or loose!!

GrammaSherry 08/22/2012 #

Fingers crossed my partner is a loose tea fan. I love it

LetsStartARiot 08/22/2012 #

I'm going to have to drop out :( I hope there will be a round 2 of this, perhaps for winter?

Shannoncollar 08/22/2012 #

No loose tea for me, and I prefer hot chocolate, but if you want to send tea no weird flavors, maybe something minty or just a regular tea.

As far as socks, I like slipper socks, anything fun and playful, I'm not real picky. We have hardwood floors, so our floors are cold. :) Any color is fine. I wear a 9 size shoe.

Thanks for this swap!

GoddessRhiannon 08/22/2012 #

size 9 us socks...would love homemade, as I never owned a pair of those, but store bought is ok as well....any pattern...love pink, purple and black...love all types of teas....prefer decaf...but will drink caffeinated on occassion
