Giveaway- Knit The Sky book and Moon Cowl Yarn Kit

March 15, 2016 by Stefanie Girard

mc-kit-plus-kts-book-1a

I have a super special giveaway for you Craft Gossip readers today. It includes a copy of the book Knit the Sky and the yarn and pattern for the Moon Cowl form Leaf Cutter.

Leave a comment in today’s post by March 24, 2016 and you are in the running for this uniquely inspiring knitting book by Lea Redmond and beautiful yarn.

Open to U. S. residents only please.

More about the book and yarn.

When the moon shines down on you, be sure to shine back. The Moon Cowl is a deceptively simple idea. You’ll knit it black on the inside and white on the outside. Then reverse it just the right amount to match the current phase of the moon. As you wax and wane around town with your feet firmly on the ground, you’ll feel like you’re over the moon.

Record the beauty, emotions, and experiences of everyday life — not in your journal but with your knitting needles! Author Lea Redmond offers 32 enchanting projects that will inspire you to create beautiful finished pieces full of personal meaning and memories. Stock up on shades of blue, gray, and white and knit one strip of a scarf each day for a year, using the color that matches the sky on that day. When you’re done, you’ll have a unique memento of your year better than anything you can keep in a scrapbook. Or when you’re traveling, knit postcard-size swatches at each place you visit, using the colors you see around you. When the trip is over, piece the swatches together into a throw or scarf that will remind you of your journey every time you use it. Or knit a height-chart scarf for a beloved baby, starting with her length at birth and adding inches each year until you have the perfect gift for her 18th birthday. These are knitting projects like no other, resulting in one-of-a-kind heirlooms that tell a story only you can tell. Redmond provides instructions for all the stitches and techniques you need, as well as required patterns.

    Oh my….love the idea of the moon knit. My high school class song was Moon River. This would be so appropriate.

    I made a temperature afghan a couple years ago (ok, I’ll admit – I still need to finish it). The moon cowl sounds like a wonderful – and simpler idea!

Discover Your Unique Style with Second Chances by Macy Eleni

If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.

Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.

What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.

Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.
