It's finally here.
After weeks and months in the planning the 2nd Ravelry giftalong has
started. In actual fact it started in the wee small hours (at 8pm EST, American
time) but this morning certainly marks my official start.
Some amazing background work by the organisers has brought together 293 designers from 21 countries in a 2 month event
Check out this amazing graphic by
the very talented 80skeins for lots of geeky GAL facts:

It gave me a real buzz to see that the UK is so well represented.
There are many well known and not so well known designers taking part and it is
a great opportunity to showcase our work to the knitting world.
The support on the various chat threads on Ravelry has been
overwhelmingly positive too, with eager folk chatting, planning and generally
having a great fibre-y time.
Louise Tilbrook Designs Giftalong (GAL) Patterns #giftalong2014 |
Here is a summary of my patterns which are available through the GAL and
click here to see the full list of all participating designers and their patterns. There is also some wonderful
eye candy here on Pinterest, although I'm not responsible for the effect that
browsing this may have on your queue.
The all important details:
The GAL runs from Nov 14th-21st and use of the coupon code
"giftalong2014" will give you 25% off each designers selected
patterns. There are over 11,000 patterns in total to choose from so you won't be lacking
in choice.
Nov 14th also sees the start of a 2 month KAL/CAL where you can knit
your chosen patterns to your hearts content and join in the various chatter
threads relating to your projects. The "Foot and Legshttp://www.ravelry.com/discuss/indie-design-gift-a-long/3067893/1-25" thread is
particularly fun - but then, I would say that ;)
Competitions, prizes, chatter and more mean that this should be a
fabulous event for all concerned. I do hope to see you over there.
