Now that my swap pal has received her presents I can post about what I made for her.
The top picture is a pair of fingerless mitts that I knit for my swap pal Kylee. I knit these out of Zara yarn. These were my first mitts that I had ever tried to knit so I was rather pleased that they turned out so nicely. The pattern is called Tyler Fingerless Mitts from the box kit of Hats, Mittens and Scarves by Angela Tung which I received last year for my birthday. The pattern was quite simple for a first time mitt knitter like me.
The second picture is the hot water bottle cover from Rowan 28 called Hottie. It was supposed to be knit in Rowan Kid Classic but I knit mine from Bendigo yarn. I only used 2 balls and I love the color too, cant remember it though as I cannot locate the ball band. I do have more details over on ravelry if anyone is interested.

Both things came out beautifully. I bet your swap pal was really pleased!
I like the hot water bottle cover too - the color is very pretty and it looks so soft.

Your swap partner will be very thrilled! Your hot water bottle cover is very cute - I love the ruffle top feature.
Those are wonderful gifts for your swap pals.

See now I'm feeling all autumnal looking at your lovely cosy knits! We've barely had a decent spring yet, let alone summer!
I love the fingerless mittens, I really love the long wrist bands on them. They are the perfect pair and I am sure they are going to be a favourite pair.
The perfect things for this weather!
Beautiful knits & I love the hot water bottle cover.
