Well, okay then. Like I told the Delusional Knitter, I LOVE validation, and it came to me in the form or your comments on my Friday post. You said, it was okay to giveaway from my stash. So my knitting brethren, here we are.
I offer to you for our first giveaway of the year, this (and it is the yarn from Friday's picture):
It's a lovely hank of Shimmering in the colorway, "Supernova". (It's not actually a shimmering yarn) 100% Tussah Silk in 1093 yards from a local company a Verb for Keeping Warm. They are lovely shop in the East Bay run by lovely people. I bought 2 hanks of this with some bizarre idea I was going to do a lace weight cardigan before I understood what lace weight was and how tedious cardigans can easily become and ... I am not in love with the pattern anymore, know how that goes?
Now I just want one hank for a basic shawl/wrap ... one day. So the other hank is for one of you if you'd like it. Let me know in the comments below with some way of contacting you, ravelry handle etc. A Week from Tuesday will be our cutoff. (Jan 14) so I can get it in the mail to you this month.!
Giveaways may not always be this fancy, but it comes from a place of wanting to share, especially that which doesn't really fit with my plans (or in my bins!)
Thanks as always for your visits and your lovely blogs and comments.
Pick me pick me ;) such a lovely skein I could find a pattern for you to knit if you want!!
ReplyDeleteoh, my, goodness!!!! Is that grey in the mix????!!!!!!!! (I bet I even know which cardi you had in mind....I can't tell you when the last time was that I actually knit the project that I bought the yarn for. Doesn't happen around here that way, either!)
