give-away? give-away? why yes!

With the permission of the marvelous and talented Miss Babs, who provided yarn for Fiori Autunnali, I am giving away a skein of her gorgeous Wild Silk (100% tussah) in Roasted Pumpkin, the color used in the original shawl! Along with that skein of loveliness will go beads enough to complete the shawl. These are also the original beads used: size 6/0 Japanese seed beads in iris bronze (metallic).

This all goes along with my new Craftsy class, of course. :) And here again is the link to purchase that class for 25% off!

Here are the rules! Leave one comment here by midnight PDT, Saturday night July 27, 2013. Each comment will be an entry. If you would like to enter more than once, tweet, or post on facebook, plurk, or Ravelry (or other social media!) about the give-away and then post another comment here telling me what you did. If you tweet and facebook, for instance, that's two extra comments for two extra entries!

I will draw one winner from the list of comments, using random.org's random number generator. Ready? Set? Go!!!

  9. I'm so excited to actually have some visual tutoring for lace knitting. Being self-taught leaves me always wondering why certain stitches don't quite look like the expert knitters and asking, "Now what am I doing wrong?" Now I'll be able to SEE how to do it correctly!! Thank you Romi!

    Bought the class and watched it, now if I can get my fingers to work the belly button magic, it will be a miracle.

    Once my arm is healed from surgery, I will attempt to do the belly button start myself, instead of paying some to do it for me!
