In time for gift-giving season, this month’s KAL prize drawing is for HeartStrings’ most popular design for holiday decorating: Bitty Beady Christmas Tree. Bead “ornaments” peek in and out of the trellis lace branches on this tiny traditional-looking Christmas tree. The branch tips are formed with serrated edging, giving a realistic look.

Bearfoot Over the Shoulder Shawl KAL

1 Comment
Join me (Jackie E-S) over at the Mountain Colors Yarn group on Ravelry for a Knit-A-Long (KAL). We’ll be knitting the Bearfoot Over the Shoulder Shawl that I designed for using any of the lovely and colorfully dyed Mountain Colors fingering weight yarn.
Bearfoot Over the Shoulder
 

This easy to wear shawl/cowl combo is a different angle on the one-sided Möbius. It takes just one skein of Mountain Colors Bearfoot or Crazyfoot yarn http://www.247locksmithsnearme.com/residential-locksmith, making it relatively quick to knit. The lace stitch pattern is easy to work and memorize, so you’ll be able to relax while  watching the colors flow off your needles.

How to Participate and have a chance to win the prize from Mountain Colors!

1. Purchase a skein (or use one from your stash) of Mountain Colors Bearfoot or Crazyfoot 2. Get the Bearfoot Over The Shoulder Shawl pattern at Ravelry. 3. Post about your project in the official Mountain Colors Bearfoot KAL thread! 4. Share your progress with other KAL’ers, ask questions, and get tips on knitting this lovely, yet easy lace shawl from Jackie. 5. Post your finished Bearfoot Over the Shoulder Shawl photo in the official Bearfoot KAL thread by November 10, 2014 for a chance to win a great prize from Mountain Colors Yarn. Will you join us?

What is a smoke ring, you ask? It is a versatile accessory you can wear laid on your shoulders as a dressy cowl neckline, or pulled over your head for light-as-air warmth without messing your hairdo. A smoke ring is also sometimes referred to as a natchaq.

The Luxury Smoke Ring Kit you can win includes —
  • Personally autographed, hard-copy pattern for a smoke ring; your choice of either #A45 Smoke Ring with Lace Edging or #A49 Flared Lace Smoke Ring
  • A continuous skein of luxury yarn (50% baby alpaca, 25% merino, 25% angora) that is enough to complete the smoke ring of your choice in the color of your choice (either natural gray or natural white); the yarn has been washed and skeined, and is ready for you to wind into a ball to knit your smoke ring

April Giveaway at KnitHeartStrings

Leave a comment

Zephyr-In-A-Net Lace Yarn and Shawl Pattern

Are you ready for another giveaway?

For April, I have another specially prepared prize to award some lucky knitter of this month’s KAL being held at KnitHeartStrings.  Good luck to everyone participating in the KAL and Giveaway!

April Giveaway: Zephyr-In-A-Net Lace Yarn and Shawl Pattern

This prize includes:

  • 500 yards of Jaggerspun Zephyr 2/18 Wool/Silk Lace Yarn in color Garnet Red. This yarn is wound into a center-pull ball and ready for you to knit. The center-pull ball is  cradled in a squishy net mesh sleeve to help the fine yarn feed smoothly.
  • Autographed copy of the Elegantly Simple Triangle Shawl pattern.
  • After you finish the yarn, the net mesh sleeve can be re-used when washing small delicate items or keeping socks sorted.

Jaggerspun Zephyr yarn is a favorite of lace knitters. If you’ve used Zephyr before, you already know the treat that is in store for you. If you haven’t tried this yarn yet, be prepared to be thrilled with how pleasant it is to knit and wear. Zephyr-In-A-Net lace yarn is also available at the KnitHeartStrings online store.

Elegantly Simple Triangle Shawl pattern is a lovely, fan-shaped design that begins at the point and is knit in one of those lovely laces based on the Shetland feather and fan stitch. The bound-off long edge can be finished in your choice of dramatic points or graceful scallops. There is enough Zephyr yarn in this prize to make a shoulder wrap size.

Elegantly Simple Triangle Shawl

With so much movement and interest in the design of this shawl, it might look more difficult to do than it really is. Hint-hint: You’ll have a chance to practice the basic pattern stitch for the June KAL, although we will not be knitting this shawl pattern itself for the KAL.

How to Win

Want to win? Simply hop on over to the KnitHeartStrings site to read about the different ways you can rack up entries. The winner will be drawn at the end of April 2014. Good luck!
