&

mamajoss (Rav group member)

Winners, you should have received either an email or a Ravelry message. Please reply back with your mailing information to claim your prizes.


Wow! Time flies when you're having fun! I've been busy knitting lots of projects. I can't seem to stop knitting to take any decent pictures though. Sorry! I should have a few modeled projects to share with you in the next week, so be on the look out if you want to see my bro's new girlfriend!! She's a doll!

I do however have a wonderful giveaway to share with you this time... in honor of Valentine's Day, Classic Cable Knits and Springtree Road have joined forces to give you a tremendously beautiful giveaway! I got a chance to catch Christina of Classic Cable Knits on Skype and do a short interview with her. Check it out:






Links and such from the videos:

- Christina Wall/Classic Cable Knits

- Patterns page

- I just cast on Christina's Lamb's Lace Cardi!

- Ginger Leaves Shawlette

- Garter Leaves

- With Love Shawl

- Springtree Road yarn

- Queen Anne's Cardigan

- Just had to look up what Queen Anne's Lace (the flower) actually looks like...

- 10% discount on Christina's patterns on Ravelry through the 20th. Use coupon code: YOTH10


Here's a shot of my bright reddish-hot-pink-magenta (not sure what this color really is) With Love Shawl that I got a chance to knit up before the giveaway:



Springtree Road is our oh-so-lovely and generous yarn sponsor today. You have to check out her yarns when you get a chance. Ummmmm, I think I'm in love! I'm a total sucker for semi-solids. They are my absolute favorite and her yarn is nothing less than UH-mazing in person. Take a look at the most gorgeous yarn, TWO skeins Superwash MCN DK weight in her Camilla colorway, that she has sent over for one lucky follower to win...


Isn't that just the most perfect pink you've ever seen?!



In addition to the stunning yarn, the Grand Prize Winner will also receive three printed patterns from Classic Cable Knits: With Love Shawl, Queen Anne's Cardigan, and Garter Leaves.

That's enough yarn and some for the winner to knit up a medium Garter Leaves shawl. Also, the pattern has instructions for 3 sizes and weights of yarn that you can use. How convenient!




That's not all! SIX runners up will also receive a PDF copy of Garter Leaves and the With Love Shawl patterns.

ALSO, Christina is offering a 10% discount on all her patterns on Ravelry for YOTH followers from today until the 20th. Use coupon code: YOTH10. Thank you, Classic Cable Knits & Springtree Road for putting together such a fabulous giveaway and we hope to see you back very soon!!


I would like you to do the following if you would like to be entered into this week's giveaway:


1. Read over the rules if you have not done so already.

2. Leave a comment on this blog post by the end of Sunday, 2/27/11. My, oh my! Christina put me on the spot here (watch the interview). ;) If you have a question for me, let me know. I'll pick a handful of questions to answer and post my replies in the near future. Be nice to your Hostess with the Mostest!


I'll randomly pick the winners on Sunday the 27th and post the results on the following Monday along with the new giveaway, so be sure to check back. Good luck everyone.

Sincerely,

Ve

That peachy pink is just lovely! My question would be: why don't you knit socks? Have you done so in the past?

andrea said...

That is the most beautiful color pink I have ever seen. I should know pinks...breast cancer survivor x2 and some of those pinks are just UGLY!. I would love to knit a shawl for the next newcomer to our "growing by seconds" group! Hugs...count me in!

oh how I love pink! I am a crocheting mommy of 2 little boys who is constantly making pretty things to give to my friend's girls (and wear myself). Do you crochet as well as knit? and if so, do you have any favorite patterns?

JP said...

More beautiful yarns and patterns. It's so obvious you enjoy talking to people about the whole creative process and not just a list of questions.

So my question for you is why did you start a blog? And with so many other knitting/yarn blogs out there how did you go about getting noticed?

meppybn said...

What scrumptious colours and patterns - yes, pleeeease :)

Heather M. in IA said...

If pink yarn arrived at my house, my daughter would ask what I'm knitting for her. She is 5 and would look cute with a shawl.

sparkle said...

I agree with many of the other comments -- what absolutely gorgeous yarn! Beautiful patterns, too! Wow!

Keppy Girl Knits said...

Thank you for the entertaining, informative and fun blog! I always like an opportunity to see new patterns and yarn. I really like the semi solid yarns and the resulting knitwear.

My question for you is what technique or pattern do you want to try next.

Oh and I love the video clip at the end of the interview!

Wow, you have lots of questions to answer!
Do you have a yarn room/where do you keep it all?
I have a yarn/fiber room and am very thankful to have it.

InJuneau said...

Although I don't like pink much, that is a lovely color for someone in my life!

So, my question is which of Christina's patterns would you most like to knit next?
