Contest & Giveaway!

::Update::

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our giveaway! The winner by random number generator is Crafty Effie. Please check your Ravelry inbox for a message from us :)

DSCF2913

It’s contest time!

Up for grabs: These 2 DK weight skeins were part of the dye experiments I went through while developing my first colourway for the Blue Brick Yarn Club.  They are one of a kind, smooshy and very slightly variegated. They are also very close to being this months club colour way, since they were part of the test rounds. Together, they are 512 yards, enough for a pretty generous scarf, cowl, or even matching winter set.

Ok! How do I enter?

Leave a comment here telling me what you would knit with this lovely yarn, simple as that! Let me know your email address and/or Ravelry user name so if you win I can reach you. You will get additional entries for sharing this post, so please tweet/facebook/Instagram/Blog away! Be sure to let me know in the comment that you shared the post so I can make sure you get additional entries; one per social media outlet, and while you’re at it, I would be delighted if you follow me on FB and Instagram :) I will announce the winner this Friday, when I launch this month’s club colour way.

    My co-worker has always admired my knitting and crochet work. Her normal color of choice is black. She also lost her husband recently and it was quite unexpected. I think I’d like to surprise her with a lovely shawl for the winter to keep her warm during those times when she might feel a little lonely…..and bring a beautiful touch of color. Thanks!
