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.
I would love to win.
