it's raining give-aways
Are you ready for the most awesome amazing and fantastic give-away ever to appear on my blog? To celebrate the release of my 7 Small Shawls Y4 eBook subscription, I'm giving away some very cool stuff, including an eBook subscription in your choice of iDevice app or PDF format, and - for those of you who have already indulged in the new subscription - 4 skeins of yarny goodness. I don't want anyone left out!
Y4 is titled "Friends"
and each pattern will be named after one of the knitters on my Ravelry forum. The first one is "A Cowl for Jeanne" and it's a little reversible bonus for fall.
This is the other side. Cool, eh?
It almost looks quilted and it is super snuggly warm for those cool fall and cold winter days. It comes in smaller and larger. :) Ready for the yarny goodness?
Give-away yarn #1 is a skein of Tactile Fiber Arts superwash merino Sock Yarn in Adobe colorway.
#2 is a skein of Little Red Bicycle Penny Farthing Sock (80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere, 10% nylon) in Columbine colorway.
#3 is a skein of Alisha Goes Around Panoply (of Peacocks) Fingering (80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere, 10% nylon) in a special (and especially gorgeous) aqua colorway.
#4 is a skein of Little Red Bicycle Spark Lace (75% superwash merino, 5% silk, 5% stellina) in Scarlet Sentinel colorway.
Here are the rules. Leave one comment here by midnight PDT, Friday night August 9, 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! There's a possible little extra here, too. If you all get my pattern "A Cowl for Jeanne" trending in the Ravelry top 5 hot right now patterns by clicking, liking, and casting on, I'll give away another copy of the eBook. If it hits #1, I'll add another one on top of that! That's a total of 3 possible eBook give-aways and 4 skeins of yarn! Woot!
I will draw winners from the list of comments, using random.org's random number generator. The first one drawn gets their first choice, then the second goes, and onward down the list. Are you ready? Get set! Comment!!!

Hi Romi - I'm very excited by the new e-book and the app. I've enjoyed every year so far and can't wait to see what's coming up. The cowl will be a great first project and I'm really curious to see how you use the app going forward.
I love the way you manipulate string! Especially special string!
I also tweeted about the give-aways!

Hey Romi - I have knit only one of your shawls, have another on the needles but follow your group on Ravelry (always wondering where those people get the time to knit everything and chat constantly) and own all the shawl books. Keep going, I love to see what is coming next. Beth (whiteoak on Ravelry)

How could any one not want to knit Romi Patterns! The patterns a fabulous the Instructions are great and the chat room is the best and most helpful.
I have been knitting for a about 2 years and almost gave up after a few months, boring yarn and patterns.
My LYS suggested I look up Designs by Romi for some yarn I had purchased and I knitted Fiori de sol as my first ever something other than knit/purl.
Thank you Romi for making knitting so exciting.
Great contest, Romi - I'm working through your Craftsy class. Marla

Ooh, ooh, pick me! pick me! I haven't bought the e-book (yet - I'm bound to succumb sooner or later) and the yarns look absolutely scrumptious. Thanks so much for offering this fantastic giveaway.
I am looking forward to the new e-book and app. I love your patterns!

Greetings Pattern Genius! My life has been changed dramatically since I found Romi designs. My obsession with "knitting them all" has taken over!! My daughter said that I am knitting "art". I'm very sure that your challenging and beautiful designs will help me maintain memory as I ... ahem... age. Thank you for all your hard work and the endearing ways you interact with us, your devoted fans! Blessings Romi!
I'm so excited about the new e-book!! It's always such fun to see that there's a new pattern that's been added
I have the e book in my Rav cart, just waiting for payday to purchase.
I have your first ebook but would love to add this one to my collection.
Love the cowl!
Please enter me -- I love your patterns.
How awful of me is it that I wondered if the cute doggy was part of the giveaway? Thanks for the chance to win some of your lovely designs or some gorgeous yarn.

I've bought your last two e-books, so this will definitely be my next purchase, but I'll wait to see if I win first! Thanks Romi for your beautiful patterns and giveaway.
Romi, I am so happy another season of shawls, etc. is starting, even if I am still working my way through years 1,2, and 3. ;) Nice to have it already for KC too.
Now, I need to go look for suitable for A Cowl for Jeanne.
Thanks, SharonO

Just what I need another cowl pattern to fall in love with~ but then those small shawls! I need more time off work, fact! ;)
Oh man, those look fabulous. I've been wondering what my next cast on should be.
I have the first 7 Small Shawls to knit book and I love it. The cowl you are showing off looks really good too. Cowls are my new favorite.

So awesome, Romi, that you honored Jeanne with the first Friends pattern. She works so hard for all of us and you are a very kind and generous friend to her.
How exciting! The cowl is beautiful!

That is one beautiful cowl! I'm normally not a cowl person, but I think that one just made its way into my queue! Nice work!

My Jeanne Cowl is my take along project this month to the local and state fairs to work on while I chaperone some fabulous 4-H Teens!! (Baby Llama and silk......just what might be needed for a little de-stress squooshing!!)
The cowl pattern is gorgeous and your giveaway is so generous.
Ready to cast on! Already purchased app and can't wait to get started.
Sounds like fun, Romi.
Am about to queue Jeanne's Cowl now!
