My current work in progress:

1. Summer Solstice Mystery Shawl KAL, my design. Official knit-along in June!
2. Myriad stealth projects.

Pretty Yarn

You may remember when I went to Minneapolis in May I got to see my friend Keri, who makes the lovely bags at 3AM Enchantments. Keri was starting to do some handpainted yarns and she generously gave me some to give away on my blog.

We got quite an enthusiastic response and Keri was delighted by how much you loved her yarn. So this week she sent me this:

3AMYarn071410 240x160 Pretty Yarn

Four skeins of her lovely yarn. They are all superwash merino fingering weight, 400 yards per skein.

Who’d like a skein? icon smile Pretty Yarn

To enter the raffle to win one of these 4 skeins, leave a comment to this blog post by noon eastern time this Sunday, July 18. Don’t know how to leave a comment? Check out my little tutorial, here.

The great and mighty Random Number Generator will choose four winners from among those comments on Sunday.

You might want to hop on over the Keri’s site if you like her pretty yarn. She is running a fun special on yarn purchased in July.

Thanks for all your lovely comments about my latest shawl. I’m working on the pattern and will have it available soon. I’ve been having a bit of a rough week, so please pardon the blog silence. Hopefully things will settle down soon and the blog will return to normal. Well, what passes for normal for me anyhow. icon wink Pretty Yarn
