Pre Christmas 2016 Give Away

I'm getting all geared up for Christmas, knitting chunky hats for my on-line stores, ordering yarn for knitting kits and making felt Christmas decorations for my local yarn shop. I wanted to find a way that I could get you, my blog followers involved in my Christmas get readiness. I thought that starting November off with a Giveaway might get you in the mood, especially if I could incorporate a festive coloured yarn in to the gift.  Here it is, my easy knit sock knitting kit in a festive scarlet red ! WoW!

The kit is suitable for an experienced knitter, as I don't explain any of the basics, assuming that the knitter knows how to cast on and off, knit and purl, can do short row shaping and decreases. What I do explain in the instruction is how to position your work on the double pointed needles, simple sock construction, when to do the short row shaping and decreases and why and of course the finishing Kitchener stitch. I wrote the instructions after only knitting a few pair of socks myself so I put my learning experience in to the instructions, including colour photographs along the way too. 

You could knit the socks ready for Christmas day, wear them yourself or gift them to a friend or family member or put them out for Father Christmas (I'm sure he would love these!). If you can't knit then wrap the kit up in Christmas wrap and put them under the tree x.

The Giveaway

Just answer the questions below for your chance to win one of these kits. The giveaway is only open for a week.

Valentine Cowl All Packaged up and ready to go

Well didn't I have a busy weekend, organising the random draw of the Valentine GiveAway winner, writing up the Cowl knitting instructions and sending emails out to everyone that subscribed , Phew , busy but very satisfying. 

I was a little worried that the winner wouldn't be opening her email, but Jen did yesterday. I received this message back, which made it all very worthwhile.

Oh my gosh!  What an awesome email to come into on a Monday morning!!!  This cowl is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to show it off.

Thank you so much for offering such a beautiful prize.  You are so very talented and I appreciate that you share that with us.  Thank you for all of the hard work you do and for blessing me with this amazing prize!

So this morning I packaged up the cowl in pretty pink tissue along with my new care instructions and business cards.

And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Jen does really like it when it arrives.
