A headband to keep my ears warm. I knitted on for myself last year and plan to make a crocheted one soon. I like to make scarves for my relatives and friends to help them keep warm.
My favourite winter gear are wooly socks!
I love to make hats and matching wristers.
My nice thick knitted sweater as well as my matching knitted hat.
Sweaters, I love to knit them in the winter to keep my hubby and I warm!!!
I love to knit or crochet sweaters. My favorite gear would be sweaters.
For Christmas this year I knitted everybody in the family (including myself) thrummed mittens, so that’s my current fave.
I love this site, I have found and tried many different patterns and stitches and the results have been liked by many of my friends.
Thank You
Hats, because they are quick to make, so I can knit several for the homeless.
Crocheted “work gloves”…my family loves ’em…
My fav winter gear is my face mask to keep my nose and mouth warm.
Convertible fingerless mittens.
A big fluffy, extra warm sweater
My woolie! A wool sweater lined w/ fleece and it has a hood!
Warm fuzzy gloves.
A nice cozy sweater.
My GAP-tastic cowl knitted in Noro Kureyon. It is so warm and cozy.
I love sweaters not only because they are cuddly and warm but because they can have great intricate patterns and interesting colors
vests!
I love cowls in any shape or color to keep my neck warm, especially ones I can also pull over my head when my ears get cold.
A good knit wool hat is tops!
Mittens, because they’re small enough and far enough away from my face that almost any colour or pattern can look good.
A pair of mittens–my hands get so cold otherwise.
My earwarmer/headband! Even when it’s not extremely cold outside, my ears can get freezing cold–these are a lifesaver (and so easy to make!)
I crochet a nice pair of warm Booties, my family loves them. Especially on these cold cold winter days & nights.
I am into sweaters, hats, scarves, fingerless gloves.
The fingerless mitts I made to wear at work.
A very long down coat. But I have to wear shearling gloves and a huge scarf as well. I have tried everything including electric mittens and socks, and those little handwarmer and footwarmer packs, but nothing works as well as shearling gloves – and even then I have to keep my hands in my pockets. The only thing better than all the above would be living in a warm state.
A warm, wooly hat to pull over my ears.
my down filled coat
for an irony it’s my first woolen cowl, it fills the gap between my hat and coat and keeps the drafts down.
I love sweaters. I tend to get get cold and there are so comfy!
A nice warm and cozy sweater.
I wear my shawls like a scarf to keep my neck warm.
I love my ear warmer headbands to keep my ears warm. They get very cold during the winter
Head warmer and wrist warmers. A good sweater when I am going to be out long too.
I’d have to say the cowls I started making last year. I make them so that they can be pulled up over your head like a hat and still keep you your neck warm
a warn cartagan
Scarves! Whether they’re ones I’ve made or purchased, I love them all. I have tons and they can be worn in so many ways!
Hand knit socks.
I love my hat!
We wear every piece of winter gear you can think of, but my favorite is ear pops. They are small to keep in your pocket and you don’t get headband or hat hair!
My favorite piece of winter gear(or nearly any time of year) is probably a tie between fingerless mitts and cowls. I like the speed at which they can be worked up and the fact that I can make them for most occasions. Plus, cowls or infinity scarves don’t “escape” like regular scarves tend to do to me.
My hand knitted owl hat that has been lined in fleece! That thing keeps my ears so warm.
My wool sweater with a hood that I bought in Scotland, soooooooo warm and my Ugg boots!
My furry Mad Bomber hat. I call it my varmit hat.
Even though I have coats and jackets, I’m more likely to grab an ancient and oh-so-thick cabled sweater that would fit a snowman. It doesn’t restrain movement as thick sewn outerwear can do, and it keeps the wind out. And it has deep pockets, so that for a quick dash I can even forgo gloves.
I love hats and cowls. I’m knitting up quite the collection!
I would love to knit this sweater. My husband loves me in gray!
I love scarves because they are so flexible. They can be worn different ways to provide warmth where you need it and can still look nice inside when you’re out of the elements!
My favorite winter gear is a cowl or infinity scarf. Warm and cozy and won’t fall off and get lost like a scarf
I need it all, hat, ‘infinity scarf’ and gloves. It’s cold up here.
My favorite winter gear is a thick warm pair of socks…once my feet get cold, forget it.
I love to make scarves. All different colors!
Ear warmers, gloves, socks…basically anything to keep the cold out!
My favorite winter gear is the extra large scarf I knit. Which also happens to be the first KNIT project I ever finished. Typically I crochet.
A warm knitted sweater.
scarves & sweaters!!!
A good warm blanket is always my favorite in the winter!
I love hats! I like to make cute ones for my kids that go along with the holidays (like a reindeer hat for Christmas-time)!
Cowls/infinity scarves are my favorite winter items to knit and wear. 🙂
Hats, gloves, scarf — especially if it’s hand made!!
A warm cowl or hood!
I love a nice lacey shawl to keep me warm while knitting and watching TV.
A wide, longer scarf. That way, I can wrap it around my head and neck and stay warm without a hat.
My favorite piece of winter gear is a freshly knit hat and cowl!
I like a nice shawl that can be worn with a winter coat and also once you take your coat off, can be worn to keep the chill off of the shoulders. It can also be worn as a headscarf if you forget your earwarmer. Very versitile.
A scarf to keep my neck warm.
Lovely lovely…cowls when your neck warm all of u is warm..this rocks
My favorite piece of winter gear is a nice, warm hoodie. Although I’m quite fond of socks and gloves. Usually in neutral colors to absorb warmth.
Socks, My Grandmother always knitted us socks for Christmas and I make them for my family now. My feet are always cold so I always wear my socks.
My current WIP in front of the fireplace. It keeps my fingers moving and warm.
convertible mittens!
Very pretty color. Would live to knit for Charity
I enjoy making booties and scarves.
Socks! Recently started making these for family and friends and have become addicted to shopping for the most colorful, warmest, softest yarn to make socks/slippers/slipper socks/etc. If my feet are cold, all of me is cold!
Lately it’s been cowls. Before that it was fingerless gloves and before that it was wrist warmers.
favourite piece of winter wear would have to be…mittens I have so many pairs I love them. cheap and easy to make so many options. BUT NO GLOVES for me, my hands don’t stay as warm. I would however like to attempt a warm paid of socks to keeps my wee toes toasty. I would love to win this prize thank you so much for putting it on and wishing everyone good luck
Sweaters, long, soft sweaters, I live in them all winter.
Hats!
Ear warmer! Can do double duty as a neck warmer too
My favorite piece of winter gear is a hot pink child’s size mow-hawk hat that my sons picked out for me for Christmas. It really doesn’t fit and certainly does not match my coat or my gloves, but my babies (13 & 14) picked it out and I will forever think of them when I put it on my head!
Lately it’s been cowls. Before that it was fingerless gloves.
A nice wide infinity scarf. It can be used as a hood to cover your ears in a pinch!
Scarves are the best ! They keep you warm and allow for some stylish and colorful variations.
My scarves. I have knitted several but always wear the first one I made.
Well it’s been pretty warm here in south Texas…..so I would say a light sweater for myself, and the sweater i just finished knitting for my daughter.
My favorite winder gear is a nice warm cowl that can be wrapped around twice. Made several as gifts this year.
It,s my entralac scarf that I knitted with yarn that I dyed with Kool aid.
I have become obsessed with cowls and mittens, especially flip top mittens!
I love scarves/cowls and fair isle sweaters…

Infinity scarves – the best!
I like my warm sweaters best!
What a cute sweater! So different
The Anemone Hat designed by Cat Bordhi. It is awesome.
My sweater that I finally finished….getting tired of winter but loved being able to stay warm.
An enormous wool pullover and anything that covers my ears.
Kinda corny, but my favorite is a scarf. There are so many ways to customize one, and no two are the exact same.
My “100 hour scarf”. I call it that because I made it when I was new at knitting and it seemed to take forever. Of course, it’s a 7 foot long infinity scarf! Nothing like tackling something “small” as your first task! I’ve improved since then and it’s now down to maybe a 10 hour scarf. Would love to move into more detailed work!
I love scarves & wraps… They are versatile and easy to layer as it’s FREEZING outside and then warm inside. Northern Minnesota has plenty of winter!
A hand knit sweater and a warm set of mittens. A hooded scarf would go nicely along with it.
I’d have to go with the scarf. You can be stylish and warm.
My favorite piece of winter gear is my hand knit sweater from a dear friend of mine!
I have made a few sweaters. Last year I even made one for my son. I’d have to say sweaters.
Definitely mittens…must keep hands warm at all costs 🙂
I have the perfect sweater that is waiting for yarn like this. fingers crossed!!!
A really great sweater. I grew up in Northern Michigan, and sometimes would only wear a special sweater and not coat. Love the idea of a book with winter patterns. Love the yarn especially the color. Thank you for the chance to win.

Keeping the core warm is the key to managing reinods syndrome. So a lush wool sweater proves the cure.
A cowl hood combination
I love my GAP-tastic cowl. Wear it everywhere.
Knit socks are my absolute favorite…..keep your toes warm and the rest of you will stay warm.
The hats and mittens that I knit for my daughter in law’s first grade class. I make them all different colors so they can tell them apart and they get SOOOO EXCITED when they get them! Makes me feel GREAT!!
My favorite item is the scoodie I made myself last year, and the headband that I crocheted and lined with material this year. Can’t pick one of the two. 🙂
The winter sweater I am now knitting….
Big, oversized cowls – they double as head covering and as an extra layer around the neck and shoulders.

My fav is a cowl. I hate when the wind and cold go down my neck. A cowl keeps me nice and warm.
My daughter gave me a handspun skein of yarn that was pretty “wild”, at least for me… so I knitted a hat that has become my favorite, and has broadened my “taste” spectrum for yarn.
A big comfy sweater 🙂
Sweater & vests!
I love fingerless mitts, particularly ones with large cuffs near the fingers that I can roll up to nearly cover them. I don’t know if they’re technically my favorite, though they are definitely my most used. I find I wear fingerless mitts nearly year-round, since I work in an air-conditioned office. I’ve always got at least one pair in my desk drawer, a pair or two in my bag, and maybe even a pair in my coat pockets.
I love a nice chunky hat in the winter. I hate for my head and ears to be cold.

I love knitting and wearing sweaters. Their warmth, the therapy of knitting them, and the subsequent compliments are the trifecta of awesome.
My tried and true winter garments are oversized cowls knit in a simple 4×4 rib in super soft bulky/superbulky yarn. I make other things that are much more luxurious and complicated, but these are the ones I always grab before I run out the door. Keeps the cold out fantastically!
My favorite piece of winter gear, without fail, is a sweater. I have a favorite sweater that I wear all winter long; I have worn it out however, the sleeves are stretched but it does keep me warm. I also wear the same sweater indoors.
Thick sweaters and comfy socks that you can bundle into!

Fingerless gloves are not only my favorite, they are my essential winter wear.

The variety of beautifully functional, and dressy fingerless patterns allows me to be fashionable no matter the occasion.
Cozy warm socks!
I live in my hand-knit hats and shawls. Wearing a hat right now; my office is freezing!
A handknit cap. Same for my family.

Love a nice winter hat.
I wear my shawlettes like a scarf. I always have one on in the winter with whatever jacket I’m wearing.
My favorite winter gear is my 2 warm, lightweight alpaca sweaters. With the chilly temps we have had this winter, they are getting a work out!
My favorite piece of winter gear so far, is a crochet poncho I made. I have been crocheting for over 40 years and never made myself a wearable item until this poncho. I am currently knitting a shawl out of Alpaca. I started Christmas gifts early. But I’m loving this. It’s taking forever. I may keep it. ( probably not ). I am hot natured and I live in a warm climate. Alpaca will be too warm for me.
My double layer cowl. It keeps my neck warm and I can pull it up on my face if the wind is howling.
The scarf/shawl my brother got for me 20 some years ago at a local craft fair. It’s hand woven- from dog hair by a local sheep herder. As she was brushing her herding dogs one day, it occurred to her that their hair was long enough to spin. So she gathered, washed, combed and spun the hair from her dogs into a beautiful yarn and wove it into a shawl. It’s snuggly and warm! Only problem is after 20 years- it still smells like wet dog when it gets wet! I still love it!
Winds are lowing and a nice scarf around my neck is wonderful!!!
Gloves cause I hate my hands being cold
My favorite this year are my cowls! LOVE a big squishy cowl to stay warm!

those cold days!

A scarf!! I wear one almost everyday in the winter to keep my neck warm.

I will be starting something cool enough for my possible new nephew to wear also! I plan to make baby boy and girl sandals for summer! So that’s my latest obsession but my main love is any kind of knit/crochet dress or casual loose sweaters possibly cropped?!
Wool socks, unless you consider the furnace as gear, then it would be that.
I absolutely love a good hat!
It’s so hard to decide! Fingerless gloves, gaiters (neck & leg) hats, sweaters, vests, socks… I guess this year it’s the neck gaiter (the windschief pattern by Stephen West I think) love love love!
The lace prayer shawl I made for my best friend to keep her warm.

Because of my plus size, I love wraps or ponchos in cold weather as they are easy to remove inside.
I like scafts I made them long or short
My favorite piece is the very first cap I knitted. It’s big enough for two heads I believe, but I made it myself and its the second thing I ever knitted. So I’m proud of it. It’s also very warm, even if it’s not that pretty! 🙂

A good, warm hat and gloves! Both hand made by me of course! Oh Yeah…a snugly scarf to block the wind!

It’s so good for carrying everything to the car or back into the house- and I use the Lid in inclement weather. Hats, mittens and scarves all sit in another near my front door. I love all the random colors heaped in in there, and there’s nothing like knowing that items I made are ones the family like and use.

I am in my 51st year of knitting. My Granny Smith(Moms mom) taught me to knit when I was eight years old. She was a prized knitter and crocheter. I love my homemade mittens, scarves, and hats for winter, but, my favorite piece is a sweater I knitted over 30 years ago. I still wear it on special occasions. It has sort of a diamond pattern, made of a faux angora wool, in colors white, grey, pink, and rose pink. I made a hat too in the same colors. I won second place ribbon in our local Atlantic winter fair for the sweater.
My alpaca socks!
I love to knit all kinds of long beautiful scarves. I love having a variety of everything to choose from for whatever fits my mood that day 🙂
Scarves and shawls are my passion. Many gifts over the past year and a drawer full for ME! I wear a different one every day of the week.
My neck warmers, I don’t like turtle necks because they choke me. So I found a pattern for neck warmers and I made them for everyone of the males in my family and I loved them so much I made a more famine one for me and I love it. Warm outside and when I come in I can take it off and not feel like I am being choked by a turtle neck. 🙂
Sweaters have always been a favorite of mine. I take great care of them, so they last an incredibly long time!

anything warm, knitting is a most relaxing outlet I can think of!!
My hand-knit felted hat that my husband gave me for Christmas. It has really helped this winter keep my head warm.
I have spent the last nine months learning how to crochet; just so I can make beanies. In my journey, I have had the opportunity to make them for toddles to adults, cancer patients (I don’t know), to children who just need a warm hat and smile. One of these days, one of these beanies, will be made for me. But for now, as I grow as a fellow Crocheter, I will continue to expand my knowledge and skill by continuing to make them for others. Beanies bring happiness! And that’s why they are my favorite.
I have an old sweater that I love. It’s a pullover and it has a hole on the side. I always wear it with my jacket, so no one sees the hole, but I am planning on cutting it up and making a cushion cover with it.
My favorite piece of winter gear is a scarf. It can be used with a lighter jacket to stay warm for days when the temperature varies 20 degrees.
My triple crochet off white cap made from repurposed bone colored yarn. It has a huge cuff that I can pull down if winds are bad.
My soft fuzzy sweater.
Beautiful sweater
Matching hat and scarf sets!
Love to wear hats and headbands.
Hat and scarf
I love my fingerless mitts – and especially those made of 100% wool – they’re so warm and still give me the flexibility with keys, money, shopping, etc. And they’re wonderful for wearing in house to alleviate pain from arthritis in my hands – I wear them while typing at the computer, and even while knitting!
I wish that I had the skills and persistence to become a downhill skier, I do know how to knit. while that is small potatoes next to the amazing skills of these world class athletes, it would be nice to knit a sweater like this one.
Mittens & a fun hat.

My favorite winter gear is a sweater I have hand knitted myself, usually. This year however it is a hat I made with snowflakes and earflaps on it using yarn from sheep that live right near me. The owner of the farm where the sheep are also owns a yarn shop and sells yarn made from the fleeces of the sheep. I was there today to show off the hat! 🙂
Layers are important. Warm cardigans are crucial. Spring can’t come soon enough. 🙂
My fave for this time of year is turtle-neck sweaters . . . like this SHARP looking thing . . . sooo unique . . . would LOVE to try out the pattern with yarn I won!!! 😀
My favorite….scarves…
For myself, I love scarves–they are great for a quick bit of warmth as well as fashion. But I seem to make a lot of hats for others 🙂
Scarfs and mittens…..
Gloves they’re practical, but can be fun and a bit more fiddly then socks to make. Plus people can see them when you wear them. I hate making socks that no one ever gets to see.
Learning how to make socks and scarf! Would love to win some pretty new yarn, please!
will have to look at Stitch Mountain: 30 Warm Knits for Conquering the Cold by Laura Zander, when I go to my LYS

It would have to be my beanie and scarf <3
My daughter and I own horses and I am a horse shoer so our feet need hand knitted toe up socks. I make 2 pairs a year for each of us.
my 1001 scarves!
I can’t do without gloves in the winter. But I love scarves too.
I love making and wearing cowls. Cowls are a great cold weather accessory.
Great fitting mittens!
I have the coziest powder blue sweater, it’s perfect! Sweater weather is the best!
hehe, that’s hard! Sweater is #1 favourite, a really squishy, soft, cozy kind of sweater. Winter means a slightly chilly house too where I live. I also wear lightweight scarves in the house during the coldest days… and outside winter/fall/spring. They are a very close runner up to the sweater. I love to accessorise with them too 🙂
Scarves! I knit them and I weave them. I especially love them in silk — soft, lightweight but warm, and luxurious.

My neck gators!!! Love them for everything!

My Kent State hat.

My current favorite is a scarf I crocheted using Australian merino sock yarn. It’s red – my favorite color and I can wear it with a coat or inside if I’m cold. It’s cozy and not itchy!
I like scarves as I despise hat hair. I am also making myself a pair of fingerless gloves to wear out as well. Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize.
Does a set of circular needles, cushy soft yarn, a nice pattern, a cup of cocoa, and a comfy chair count?
My most favourite winter warmer, (besides my snuggly bf) was my cabled hoodie, it had been loved to bits and repaired numerous times, now it keeps the cat warm and toasty as I knit a new cable hoodie in my favourite colour.
SCARVES and lots of ’em!

I love warm socks and sweaters…but mostly I love working with beautiful yarn!
My favorite winter gear is my fireplace tongs. I am staying as close to my fire as I can until spring.
For myself, I wear my fingerless gloves and scarves the most. However, Ilike for them to be unique and one of a kind. For the guys that work outside, it would be warm hats made from good yarn. The hats I have made for the guys out of acrylic yarn have proven useless but the ones I have made from good yarn have proven invaluable.
I knit for a charity and make scarves, mittens and hats in bright colours and different styles. The thought of the comfort that my work may give, keeps me warm.
All I need to feel warm in the winter is a nice, woolly hat!
I love Ear Warmers!!! I have made them in all colors and types of yarn.
My favorite winter gear is a cowl neck sweater. When wearing a coat with it I can just pull the cowl up to act as a scarf!
I would have to say that my favorite winter wear would be my glove scarf combo.they keep me nice and toasty warm
Gloves! My hands are usually cold, and during the winter it gets even worse. Walking across campus at school requires gloves, for sure!
Scarfs I make all kinds of them!!!!
I wish I could knit socks for my poor cold feet but I get so lost. So…..cowls and scarfs because they are so versatile are my favorites. I can wrap them around my poor cold feet when I am inside and then just wrap them around my neck when going outside and remember how they felt on my toes 🙂
I love a wool sweater under my Carhart on these cold, windy days!
sweaters, hats and mittens
My favorite piece of winter gear is wooly socks. Can’t live without them and heaven forbid if I find you put them in the dryer !!
I cannot make it through winter without gloves
boot toppers

My handknit norwegian mittens – made by a member of our church. She donated three pairs every year until she couldn’t knit anymore (started dropping stitches and could not see)

Hats, hats and more hats. But this would allow me to make something else.

Scarves!!
warm gloves
I like long, skinny scarves that you can wrap around your neck two or three times.
If it ever gets cold out here in Northern California (usually does, but this year is extremely warm, too many days in the 70’s), but when it does, I love nice snuggy warm sweaters and warm cuddly afghans a cup of hot tea and either a good book or a good movie!
I simply LOVE sweaters ~~ both fitted and bulky !!
Warm socks!!!!
my house!
Wrist Warners are my favorite winter gear, because the keep your lower arms and hands warm from any wind that would have rushed up my arm without them.
Scarves!!!! you can wear so many different color and textures!

I guess it’s layers topped by a cardigan so it’s easy to adjust from indoors and out.

Warm and toasty Afghans and lovey blankets are my favourite things to knit.
Mittens!
cowls is OK, but warm cozy afghan is best
I knits hats, I give them away to people with cancer and people that are homeless !!! I have been knitting since 1970, when I made my newborn son a sweater ! Thanks
