Congratulations! Please contact me at yarnonthehouse@gmail.com to collect your prizes.
I just love quick knits! They're satisfying and when they're as cute as this week's giveaway there's just nothing better - especially right before the holidays when I'm working on so many last minute gifts! And, who doesn't love a wonderful new yarn to go along with the terrific pattern?!
This stunning and very functional neck wrap is designed by the very talented Carrie Bostick Hoge exclusively for the sensational Quince & Co. yarn line.
I just fell in love with the lace stitch pattern on the ends of this darling ascot.
And, oh my goodness! The Chickadee fingering weight yarn it is knit up in is marvelous!
And, at $5.75 per skein (which, by the way, this pattern requires only ONE skein of) I think I'm in love!
No, really! Love is even putting it lightly! Chickadee and all of their current yarns come in an impressive palette of so many delectable colors to choose from that it is very likely my new favorite solid colored wool yarn to go to.
Plus, I just absolutely love their company story! All their yarn is sourced and spun in the US. I, as an American consumer, truly appreciate that and am happy to see such luscious yarn come from the states!
Quince & Co. is sponsoring this week's giveaway with THREE fantastic skeins of Chickadee. Three followers have the chance to win a PDF copy of the beautiful Belle Ascot pattern and a skein of Chickadee in one of the colors below:
Thank you so much, Quince & Co. for sponsoring this week's giveaway! Come back to visit us very soon!

Sincerely,

Quince & Co IS lovely indeed! I've only knitted with their Lark yarns so far, but it was a pleasure to work with & I just love the results!
I am a HUUUUUGE fan of Quince & Co. Yarn. Right now, I am about 10 rows away from completing my 8th FO with Quince, which is a hat I came up with using Chickadee in the Dogwood colorway. The yarn is absolutely SUBLIME to work with! The colors are amazing and gorgeous and I have never had any issues with switching to a new skein in the same color. I've spent a bunch of time in Portland at their flagship retailer KnitWit fondling and drooling and putting different colorways together to make great combinations. I HIGHLY recommend Quince to anyone who hasn't tried it out yet.
I haven't tried any Quince & Co. yarn yet - I'm in another part of the world, so some yarns are a bit difficult (end expensive) to come by. But I've heard nothing but good and I look forward to trying out some loveliness some day.
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks great! And I love the three colors above together. An American yarn like you said, and you are giving away red, white and blue. Very patriotic! :)
I haven't been able to get my hot little hands on any yet, since I'm currently overseas. Next time I'm home in Maine though...
I haven't tried Quince & Co yet, but I'd love to! The yarn looks lovely and the pattern is very cute, too. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
No I haven't seen their yarn before (I'm in the UK) but it looks gorgeous!
I haven't seen Quince & Co. before, but looks very pretty!

I have never had the pleasure of knitting with Quince & Company yarn, and would love the opportunity. The Ascot is lovely. I, too like their story-gotta love made in New England.
I have not used Quince & Co and sadly had not heard of them. But I really like to support the local and independent, o will be looking to purchase some...
I didn't have the chance to try Quince but I already visited their website and the yarn looks gorgeous. Perhaps I am lucky this time and win the giveaway.

I haven't knitted with Quince yarn yet, but as its name suggests, it looks positively edible...
Yes! I love Quince yarn. I've only tried Lark so far, but it is the perfect blend of softness and spring. You can just tell it'll never pill or fall apart. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
no, but I'd love too.
Haven't tried Quince & Co yet, but I'm drooling over their site! Jpeled on ravelry

I haven't tried it yet, but I'll move it to the top of the list now, since it's made in the good ole USofA!
Haven't tried them yet, but that pattern and yarn look lovely.
I am thrilled that my LYS is carrying Quince & Co. I bought some Chickadee to make a Kilkenny Cowl. Haven't knit with it yet - but it feels divine. I agree the price is soooo right, too !
I haven't had a chance to try Quince yarns yet, but I love looking at them. It would be fantastic to win this prize!

Happy Holidays!
I haven't had a chance to use any of Quince's yarns but i am dying to try them. Thanks for the giveaway!
I've only drooled over these yarns, yet! Can't wait to try them!
I have not had the pleasure of knitting with any Quince & Co. yarn. The colors available look lovely and I have three little girls who love scarves but always trip on theirs, so an ascot pattern might be the way to go...never thought of that until now, ha ha.
I haven't used Quince&Co yarn, but would love the opportunity to do so. Love the looks of it.

I haven't tried Quince & Co. Yarn, but you have definitely sparked my interest.
I haven't tried Quince & Co yarn yet. I just read about them in the Winter issue of Interweave Knits. I'm looking forward to trying them now. The website is so classic looking and the yarns seem to carry that same quality. I love the bird names!
I hope to feel it in person in Portland next summer if I don't get my hands on any before then.
Never tried Quince & Co - but would love to give it a go!
lovely yarn! I have some but have yet to knit with it. But I"m looking forward to it!
Mmm, pretty yarn! No I havne't tried Quince & Co yarn as yet, but I think I'll look for it the next time I'm in the LYS -- gotta give them a shout out, to Bliss Yarns in Brentwood, TN! Find me on Ravelry as AnnBan.
I've never tried this yarn but this pattern just looks so adorable.
I am huge fan of theirs too, and follow all their blogs daily :) j(ust left a comment on Carrie's cute baby post.) wish....wish.....wish
Haven't tried it yet, but would love to...pick me:)
No, but I'd love to!
Kudos to Quince for domestic sourcing and spinning. Haven't tried it yet. Maybe I'll win!
I have not yet tried Quince & Co. but it looks loverly! That blue skein is gorgeous!
I've been dying to try Quince & Co yarn, but haven't yet had the chance. It looks so beautiful and soft!
I haven't used Quince & Co yarn yet, but I'd like too. I just say them for the first time ever yesterday on ravelry. All the yarns look awesome! I'd really like to try "Puffin" (and win this too, of course).
I haven't tried Quince & Co. It does look very soft. There is only one yarn shop in my area and she doesn't carry a big selection of brands.
I have yet to try Quince & Co., but I've had them bookmarked for about a year. I love that they've each yarn after a different bird. So sweet!
I have not tried the yarn yet, but I also am anxious to support this forward-thinking company, once my stash is below SABLE level! Also Carrie Bostick Hoge is one of my favorite designers -- I just finished her Cabled shrug and love it!
I haven't tried it yet, I live in south America so it's not easy to find it (yeah, I know about something called "buying online" ^.^)
never tried it - hope to win, so I actually can try it!
i am a fan of their goods, though i admit to only fondling them and not yet having the chance to knit with them! Their company name first attracted me, then the fibers! :)
I haven't tried. hadn't even heard of it until just now. It looks beautiful, though!
I haven't tried the yarns yet but I would love to. Beautiful yarns and great names - very Maine-ish!
I have yet to try. It looks beautiful and would love to try.

I've used Lark & loved it. I do want to try out more of their yarns.
I haven't tried Quince & Co. yet, but it sounds great...
Quince & Co is a new one on me (uk) but it looks beautiful.
This is a perfect example of why I love your blog---I hadn't heard of Quince & Co yarns, but now that I have, I know where my next project is coming from. Their colors are beautiful, prices reasonable, and wool local (for me). What's not to love?!
I LOVE quince & co! I've already tried their osprey and lark yarns and I have some chickadee in my stash! Of course, I could always have MORE chickadee, that wouldn't be a problem at all...
I haven't tried Quince & Co but based on this, I'm dying to try it!
I have been dying to try anything from Quince & Co! What an awesome giveaway!
I've never heard of Quince & Co. before, but that yarn looks incredible! I just want to squish it. And what a pretty pattern too!
Chickadee is in my queue to buy! I have too many projects on the go right now to justify getting more yarn, but as soon as I clear some out, it's next. I saw their site shortly after the yarn was introduced and have been longing for it ever since.
Quince & Co is right up there on my wish list with 'Shelter' of yarns I want to try. Thanks of hosting the giveaway!
I just made some Sabrina mittens using the tern and I loved the pattern and the yarn soooooo much! Cant' wait to try more.
I haven't tried it yet, but would LOVE to test it out! Looks gorgeous!

I haven't tried them yet, but after perusing the website, I can think of about 3 projects that I want to use this yarn for! The colors are gorgeous, and I've only heard positive things about it. Can't wait to give them a try!
I haven't knitted with Quince & Co, though Puffin looks divine.

I have not had the opportunity to work with Quince & Co yarn, but I have only heard good things about it. Rebekah
Lovely yarns & patterns! I keep browsing the Quince website, though it makes me homesick. I lived in Maine for several years in the 90s. I'm loving the New England theme you've had going lately!
NO I had never seen or heard of it before your post! I'm off to check out their website!!
I think I'd heard of Quince & Co, but I've never seen it. It looks beautiful!

PS Today's word verification on the comments? "skienn" - I'm taking it as a sign!
I haven't had the chance to try them yet but they are definitely on my radar! Just have to use up some stash first (she says wistfully)...
Haven't tried it. Looks yummy!
I honestly have never seen a skein of Quince & Co. yarn, but I've heard the name here and there. I would love to test some out. The stitch definition looks fantastic!
Not yet, but now I think I have to!
Ah, I absolutely LOVE Quince & Co. I knit a hat in the Chickadee and every aspect of the knitting was a real pleasure. The way yarn should be! Hurrah!
I hadn't even heard of it before today, but it looks lovely, and all the posts here are a strong recommendation.
I would love to win some Quince and Co yarn!
I'm trying not to buy any yarn until the new year, so I haven't had the pleasure of using Quince & Co yarn yet. I look at the website and fantasize at least once a week, though.
Cute!!! I love Quice & Co and I hope to spend some of my holiday money there real soon!
Oh wow!! That is an absolutely gorgeous scarf/ascot :)
And no I've never tried that yarn before I certainly plan to now!! It looks gorgeous!
I have not heard of Quince & Co prior to this so I'm so excited to find out about them!
No, I've not tried them yet, though I have heard about them on several blogs and the yarn looks lovely.

I would like to try Quince& Co yarn and make the scarf because the pattern is cute and it would make a nice christmas gift for someone on my list nannyjean
I just made Stephen West's Boneyard shawl in their bulky weight for an aunt having chemo. It is light and warm, and she loves it. Got it at Knitwit and loved their shop too!
I love Quince and Co, and their company story is inspiring!
I haven't! There are just too many good yarns out there... I doubt I'll ever get to them all. :D
I've not even heard of Quince & Co :( I will be sure to check them out, the yarn sounds wonderful. Hope I'm a lucky winner.

I haven't tried their yarn yet - I don't have a LYS anywhere near me - but they look lovely!
lovely yarn!
I've never knitted with Quince & Co. yarns. They aren't available where I live (in Portugal). And I think that's the cutest ascot I've seen yet!
I haven't had the chance to try Quince & Co. yet, but I always love a good wool that comes in a variety of colors. And I love that they are a US company that gets their yarn local (relatively speaking).
Haven't had the pleasure of trying any Quince & Co. yarn but I'd love to it gets huge reviews on yumminess.
Happy holidays

I have never tried this yarn but it sounds wonderful. I love quick knits too. I am in the process of finishing the last of my quick knit Christmas gifts.
