giveaway! comment to win beautiful handmade gloves from smilingknitting

Posted on 24. Jan, 2012 by in giveaway

I have shared many things made by Güler Usug, designer and owner of Smiling Knitting before here–I geuninely love her work and I own lots of her stuff! She lives and works (and is expecting her first daughter right now!) in Turkey and she not only makes beautiful handmade things, but is a smart businessperson which I admire a lot.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, Güler contacted me about offering a pair of her hand-knit fingerless gloves to my readers. If you type a lot at night, like me–especially during the winter–fingerless gloves need to be in your life. You other bloggers know what I am talking about!

These gloves are hand-knitted with a wool/acrylic blend and are available in any color. I have these lemongrass ones! Güler is offering a matching lime-y lemongrass-y pair of these fingerless gloves for one reader.

SmilingKnitting also sells dozens of other original products that get me really excited. How cute are these hats? Clever collar-like scarves? And of course her crocheted heart slippers that I wear ALL the time at work. They live under my desk!

Anyway, these are all great gift ideas for your sweetheart (there are some great offerings for guys on there too) for $35 and under. Skip the roses–get something (if only for yourself) that you can actually use and will make you smile every day.

This giveaway for the fingerless gloves is open to international residents and I will pick a winner on Monday at midnight, so you have a week to enter. Visit SmilingKnitting on Etsy, leave a comment, and good luck! And you boys better enter too. These would be a great Valentine’s Day gift for your mama.

    Oooh, I would love to win these! I bought a pair of her heart slippers as a birthday gift for my sister-in-law, and have been kicking myself for not ordering a pair for myself, as well. These gloves are so cute!

    Adorable! I used to wear fingerless gloves whilst writing essays late at night. They were nowhere near as cute as these though!

    Those are lovely! I adore fingerless gloves. I’ve made some for myself, but I’m a complete n00b, so they certainly aren’t pretty. Living in Michigan, I can *always* use things to cover up with.

    Ohh. Soo silly-perfect for how flipping cold and snowy it’s been. And not just for use at night, but if you work in a drafty office and type ALL DAY LONG.

    I know we don’t have really weather over here in California, but I’m a sucker for all the cold weather gear. I love the yellowish color. It reminds me of my first car :)
