~ The second announcement is that I am giving away one of those adorable Little Skein original fabric project bags today! The bag is called, Create, and it is wonderful.

Thank you Susan and Annie for the opportunity to win the project bag! My Rav name is WhimsicallyKnit

Susan, I have the Sheep Heid hat on my horizon and I feel your color pain! I knitted one already in Knit Picks Pallette. It's very soft but a little too thin so I bought Jamison's Spindrift. I was standing in front of my LYC's Jamison display forEVER! Trying to match the colors as closely as I could. Your hat is very lovely and you are motivating me to get mine cracking! :)

I saw your beautiful hat and the pile of ends and remembered knitting my Spilly Jane gnome mittens. So many ends! Still, I think you may have inspired me to attempt colorwork again. There is something about those neutral colors that speaks to me!!

Thanks for the opportunity to see and to win a "Creat" project bag....very nice. Love the segments on your hats and use of the double points to prevent ladders. (I usually do not get ladders, but did a few years ago on one project; and never could figure out what I was doing to create those ladders. Thanks for the hint!)

Oops - just watched the Podcast on April 28th so I am not sure if I am too late to enter the give-away contest. Either way, wanted to say the sheep heid hat is fantastic and looks so pretty on you! I am definitely adding it to the to-do list.

bspinner said...

I love the project bag! The colors you knit your socks are great. I'm pretty short so at that length the sock would almost reach my knee. I think for me I would need to re-wind the balls of yarn so the pick would show up first. The hat looks so nice on you.
