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.
