Awhile back I participated in the Two Ewes Podcast Summer Spin In. And I won a prize!
My prize packaged arrived this week and it was full of goodies. The main attraction was a some Shetland wool in a natural beige. I haven’t weighed it yet but its close to 3-ish ounces. It also came with some podcast swag and a super lovely note from the ladies.
I’m leaving this fiber out on my desk in hopes it spurs some spinning mojo. But it hasn’t worked yet….maybe tomorrow?
Happy Spinning!!
All spring I have been knitting the daylights out of the In The Light pattern, I finished one here, here and here. I was inspired to knit this project thanks to Chevas of the Chevyrell’s stuff podcast. Not only did I learn about the In The Light pattern from her but she was hosting a #YarnCoitusMAL this spring. The only requirement was to use two or more indie dyed yarns in one project. Well I entered my first In The Light FO and I won one of the prizes!
In my prize package I got a really cool wine themed project bag, a skein of hand dyed laceweight from Happy Hands Hand Dyed yarn, and an enamel pin and vinyl sticker from the Chevyrell’s Stuff podcast.
I have never used actual laceweight yarn before so I might need to find the right project for this special skein. But I have already put the pin on my knitting notions bag and the sticker is on my water bottle. So it just goes to show that sometimes knitting pays off in more ways than just the FO!
