So here is a belated blogiversary giveaway. Since I'm a bit bonkers about hand knitted socks, and have too much sock yarn in my crafty cupboard, I thought I'd pass some on, along with the very easy basic sock pattern from my local John Lewis, and a set of dpns.
Don't be scared by the thought of attempting to knit socks - if you can knit at all, then you'll be able to knit a fab pair of socks using this pattern, it's easy peasy! And, of course, you don't have to use it to knit socks! The yarn is 100% wool (Blue Faced Leicester I think), by Fyberspates, and is called Fiesta. There's approx 100 grams which should be enough for a pair of socks.
Since not everyone likes to knit I also have a 36 square charm pack in Arcadia by Moda. I didn't want to open it to show the colours but if you Google it you'll get lots of images.
And as you can't craft without chocolate there'll be a little chocolate something in there too.I'm happy to send this little lot overseas. Just leave a comment and I'll put all the names in a pot and choose one on the 21st September. That's my birthday so I should manage to remember!
What a lovely giveaway! I was gearing up to knit a pair of socks a while ago but wimped out... winter and this giveaway have re-ignited my interest.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with you and your family.

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me at my blog, and your wonderful comment. Yes, I live In thornton, I recently moved from Poulton-le-fylde. So you probably know whereabouts I am! Suzie. xxx
ReplyDeleteSince I have already won a beautiful give-away from you, please leave my name out of this one so someone else can get the joy from getting a wonderful parcel in the mail. I am back to blogland after my little break. I have done no knitting though because I have been training for my race. I am working on a pair of socks right now, just simple socks that I started a long time ago and just have not finished. Hopefully I will have those done by next week.
