So, we've shown you ours: it's time to see yours! Whether it's a quiet, book-filled, sunny nook, or a comfy, warm spot at the top of the house…Maybe it's in your bed, on the sofa or even on the floor, surrounded by yarn, patterns, needles and WIPs. At the kitchen table. On the bus. In the garden, sun shining, glass of wine. Beach, festival, verandah…you get the idea...
Post up a quick photo of your favourite knitting happy place on Ravelry, Twitter or Facebook — or all three to enter in triplicate — and we'll choose three winners at random to receive an excellent yarny prize ++++++++++
Pattern, bag and YARN! One skein per winner.
We're giving away three kits to make the Gilver Shawl (designed by Jo) with one skein of YarnPony Show Pony 50% merino/50% silk 4-ply (hand dyed by Mica), together with one of our EYF project bags. Gilver is an easy knit: a garter triangle with a neat double edging finished with picots. All instructions are included and you'll find a few photos here to show how lovely it is. The yarn is gorgeous, and you can choose from one of the colours above. Mica is not dyeing yarn any more, so winners will be getting a limited edition rarity!
The original was made in 'Oatmeal', which is actually like knitting with fluid metal:
