Bracket from Mason-Dixon Knitting
Hi, Knitters,
I've a few quick things before the giveaway information. First, the smart and clever ladies over at Mason-Dixon Knitting always surprise me with their fun ideas. Kay and Ann have come up with a knitting version of March Madness. Get your bracket now!
I am honored to be included in March Mayhem 2017 in the Home, Baby, Toy category with my Sheep! pattern.
Voting for each category starts today, March 15, 2017 and they will have a winner by April 3, 2017.
Everything Kay and Ann do is so well done and humor is always a major ingredient in their knitting.
Click here for the Sheep! pattern information or to purchase. This is my pattern that is included in the March Mayhem Bracket.
One more fun thing is that over on Barrett Wool Co. we are having a quick tiny scissors sale. We have marked down the scissors at $1.00 off the regular price through March 16th, 2017! That's tomorrow! No coupon code is necessary. All colors and styles are included. We are stocked up with Putford, Flower Power and Little Love styles in great colors.
Don't miss out on adding to your scissors collection! I love these snips and I think you will, too.

Now for the giveaway!
Gale of Gale's Art asked if I would like to offer a 3-month sock blank club membership to one of my lucky readers and of course I said yes. You can choose between the sparkle club and the regular sock yarn club.
The prize is worth $100! You will love Gale's sock blanks. They are beautiful and a treat to knit. The finished socks are speckled and so beautiful. I have knit socks from her sock blanks and the finished socks are some of my favorites. Thanks to Gale for the opportunity.
Click here to read the information on what you could win! I love Gale's inspiration.
Yarn information:
Fiber content for the sock blank yarn is 75% merino, 25% nylon. There are 463 yards per sock blank and they are 100 grams. The Recommended needle size is 1-3 US with 7 to 8 stitches per inch.
To enter to win leave one comment on this blog post. You must include your Ravelry username or an email address as a contact if you should win. Please only enter one time, there is a delay before you will see your comment appear. Only click on the Publish button one time. I will randomly select a winner in a few days. I will then give Gale your contact information so you can work out the details of the prize.

This is a super intensely colored sock has rainbow hues with purple hibiscus and bright green leaves dancing across it! SHIPPING June 2, 2017
I just have to share these cute photos from last weekend. My husband and TC and I went out for Sunday breakfast downtown and then we went to a fantastic art exhibit at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. There was also the St. Patty's Day Parade happening around the Capitol Square. My Miss Molly is from a big Irish family and they are in the parade every year. We walked over to see them and I was struck by all of our Waiting for Winter Mittens.
Miss Molly had knit her own pair and had knit some for her sister, Megan. I was wearing my own pair of Waiting for Winter Mittens out of some of my handspun yarn. My son snapped the photo above when we were comparing our mittens and I thought it was so cute.
I am wearing my newest hat pattern called Owen. Click here for the Owen pattern!
Here are the mittens up close!
Good luck if you enter the giveaway. I'll be back soon with more.
