A Friday FO

It isn’t often that a Finished Object coincides with a Friday but here we are with a genuine FO.

A combination of illness and a super addictive project - thank you to Amy van de Laar and the Ravelry Giftalong - meant that this Beeswax Hat practically flew off the needles.

Just complex enough to hold my attention, but intuitive enough that my sleep deprived brain could follow along. It was perfect knitting from start to finish.

I enjoyed it so much that I also bought and cast on the matching Beeswax Shawl - so I’m sure there will be photos of that along shortly too.

If you haven’t heard of the Ravelry Giftalong please do check it out. It’s a week long 25% discount sale from nearly 300 designers - covering 1000s of their selected patterns. Far more than a sale though, it’s a whole community. There is a Giftalong Group on Ravelry with KALs, competitions and much more running through to the end of the year.

You can find the mega bundle with all the sale patterns here

And you can find my bundle here

If you do join in please do wave and say hello - and more importantly do let me know what you are knitting. I’m nosey like that

It's Indie Gift-along time

I’m really pleased to be able to announce that I’m taking part in the Indie Gift-along 2018 sale over on Ravelry. If you are new to the GAL you are in for a treat.

There are hundreds of participating indie designers who team up for a few days at the end of November each year to offer a 25% discount on a selected range of their patterns. But then the fun really starts. There is a knitalong which follows on from this and runs along until the end of December. There is a whole group devoted to chat, competitions, prizes and lots more over on Ravelry and it’s always great fun to be involved in it, both as a knitter and as a participating designer.

You can join the Ravelry group here and when the full list of participating designers goes live you’ll be able to see, browse and buy patterns using the special “giftalong2018” coupon code. The sale goes live on November 23rd, 2018 at 8:00 pm US EST which is 1 am on Friday for us UK folk, so you’ll have plenty of patterns to browse over your coffee on Friday morning.

If you want to see the patterns I’ll be offering in the sale you can see my GAL Bundle here but please note that the “giftalong2018” code won’t work until the full GAL kicks off.
