Blogversary Giveaway!

June 18, 2014

Hello!  I have a super giveaway for you this week and it's my best giveaway ever!  I've gathered together a selection of my favorite Rowan yarns in my favorite colors, all to celebrate Knitionary's 5th blogversary and 3,000 Facebook likes!  Hurrah!

(7/3, edited to add, a winner has been selected and comments are closed.)

All the yarns are current season.  Let me take you through them from left to right.  The links take you to the Rowan site for more detailed info.



Handknit Cotton is 100% cotton, knits up as a light worsted weight, comes in terrific colors and is very very easy on the hands while knitting.  I've knit countless summer sweaters with this.  Machine washable.

Alpaca Colour is next, in a pretty mid-gray and knits to a dk weight.  It's spun from 100% baby alpaca and just might be the softest knitting yarn you will ever get your hands on.  I am knitting a scarf with this at this time.

Amazing Fine Art in my favorite mid blue.  FA is an elegant mix of merino wool, kid mohair, silk and polyamide.  Hand dyed and an absolute joy to knit.  One skein is enough to make one fantastic pair of socks.

My desert island yarn, and my hands down favorite yarn ever made, the great Kidsilk Haze.  To know it is to love it, but I warn you, you must be a little patient with it at first.  It's as fine as spider's silk and can look at little daunting.  Stick with it and I promise that your patience will be rewarded when a gossamer cloud of kid mohair and silk emerges from your needles.

Cotton Glace is another beautiful 100% cotton summer yarn.  Both the Handknit Cotton and Glace take dyes beautifully and are available in lots of clear bright summer colors.  This knits to a sport weight and is also machine washable.  There is a lot of support for this old favorite in the new Spring/Summer Magazine 55.

Purelife Revive has been around for a few years but is new to me.  It's a blend of recycled cotton, silk and viscose and has an earthy feel while still being easy to knit and easy on the hands.  It's a great tweedy option for summer and for those who are allergic to wool.  I was surprised how much I loved it.  I'm making Guido for my son with this (Mag. 55) and also made a little doll sweater. 


So what can you do with single skeins?  Besides just messing around with them, you could actually made something useful!  The Fine Art will make one awesome pair of socks.  You can make a cravat or scarflette from the KSH.  Here is my free pattern for Little Wing, a dolly sweater that uses just one skein of Revive.  The pattern would also work for the Handknit Cotton and if you were really into dolly knits you could make Snickerdoodle with the Glace and the Alpaca.  Or you could do anything darn thing you want and simply play around with them and find out why I love them so much.

Here's how to enter:  Become a follower of Knitionary, anyway you choose, such as Facebook, Bloglovin', etc.  I know there's lots of ways to follow, then leave a comment and tell me how you follow.  Make sure I know how to contact you if you win.  As in, share your Rav name or email or something!  If you want a second chance at winning, leave a comment on Knitionary's Facebook page.  Good luck and thanks for reading!  I'll keep this contest open for about a week.
