monday's musing & a give-away
Tis better to give than receive, is it not? I think so. That's why I'm giving away a copy of Tanis Gray's book, 3 Skeins or Less! Leave a comment by midnight, PST, November 5 (Wednesday) for a chance to win!
It's a great little book with some fantastic patterns, including my Tanis Shawl. I really loved every minute of designing and knitting this one. The yarn - Heavenly Fingering from The Uncommon Thread - was truly truly heavenly down to the last stitch.
Tanis, the woman, was an absolute pleasure to work with. Tanis, the shawl, has a beaded asymmetrical spine that moves seamlessly into the border.
The wide lace border is fairly heavily beaded with 6/0 seed beads placed with a crochet hook.
And Tanis is finished with a beaded picot bind-off.
By Tanis Gray

I would LOVE to have a copy! And knit this shawl, of course!! (Plus other patterns ...)
I would love this; buying more than three skeins of anything is usually cost-prohibitive for me.
What a lovely giveaway. Thank you.
I love this shawl. Especially the adorable spine. Looking forward to knitting it. If this copy became mine it would make it sooner rather than later.
Love this! And love you for doing this <3
Thank you for the giveaway! Would love to have this book!!
Pretty shawl, I love the spine.
This book looks great. I would love to win it.

A lovely book-I would so love to win! Thank you for the opportunity to win one! I'm just starting to bead shawls and fear it is a slippery slope!!
So many pretty designs -- but I've been wanting to try beading, so Tanis will be whispering to me ....
That shawl looks amazing!
This book would help me so much with my Christmas knitting. So far behind. The shawl looks amazing!

I love the spine of Tanis and that border is so "shiny". I don't usually like to attract attention but I certainly would love to wear a shawl that is such a distraction.
I hear there are some other pretty things in the book, too.
Please pick me (says my comment)
Ooh la la!
I love your Tanis shawl (I keep gazing at it online...) and looking through the book's patterns, I think I would like to make many of those as well! I am always a fan of Romi patterns and the rest of the book is a bonus!
Thanks for doing a special drawing for us! ^_^
Just so very very lovely!
