Birthday Giveaway!

My birthday is coming up in the next week, and to celebrate, I've got a present to give away!

I'm gifting one lucky person a skein of my Arianrhod Sock yarn in the colorway "Avalon" (which is a pretty grey-blue) and a signed copy of my Legendary Knits, volume 2 book.



The yarn will work great with either the Arianrhod Socks in the collection, or the Valkyrie Mitts.  (Or of course, use the yarn for any other project of your choice!).

All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment here letting me know which of the patterns in the collection is your favorite.  (It'd also be really helpful if you'd leave a Ravelry ID or an email so I can contact the winner, who will be chosen by random number drawing on Friday, July 25th at 8:00 a.m. Mountain time).

Want another chance to win?  Please see my great friend, Andi's blog, as well for her giveaway this month!  (Andi is one of my totally awesome sample/test knitters who was kind enough to knit The Snow Queen jacket from this collection for me - she did a fantastic job with it!)

  1. I'm a sock knitter, so those Arianrhod Socks definitely catch my eye, but the East of the Sun, West of the Moon Cowl also tickles my fancy! What a lovely collection!

  3. As I'm still a learner, the valkerie mitts look within reach, though I love the snow queen too, maybe in a few years!

  10. It has to be the Arachne shawl, because I don't have enough shawls yet (::cough::). Okay, honestly, because I am not tired of knitting shawls yet. And furthermore, shawls don't require fitting. Okay, I'm done.

  23. The Valkyrie Mitts!!! Really, all the designs are beautiful and the yarn is gorgeous. I have to admit that it reminds me of late fall sky's before the first snow appears. Thank you for the giveaway and blog love. -Sheri aka VikingCrocheter on Ravelry

  24. Happy (almost) Birthday - I think my vote will go on the Valkyrie Mitts also. Such a lovely giveaway, it's actually quite hard to choose how to answer your question - so many beautiful options, they remind me of my time spent living in the Northern Hemisphere. Many thanks!

  25. They are all gorgeous, but I've had my eye on the 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon Cowl' for a while. In fact, I'm off to favourite it now so other people can see how lovely it is. I need to make this for me for Yule...
