Knitty is back!

Posted on July 16, 2010 by Knitty Attitude

What a summer this has been! I moved to a new place, got married (man! that was fun!) and got a summer job as a librarian! Also lost my knitting-mojo somewhere along the way and haven’t knitted for about 1.5 months now. So what better way to kikc-start your knitting-mojo than a beautiful baby blanket?!

I’ve been looking at the Bring-it-on baby blanket from Pickles for days now and finaly bought the yarn. I bought one of my favorites, Icelandic Kambgarn, in four colors: beige, gray, blue and kind of green/blue. It’s 100% pure new wool, spun and dyed in Iceland and comes in so many fabulous colors. The blanket will be a gift to my friends baby, a little boy due in the fall. Can’t wait to cast on! :)

And yeah, did I mention that my deliciously scrumptious and vibrant hand dyed Eigingirni can now be shipped worldwide and I accept PayPal? Yes indeed! :)

HAPPY SUMMER KNITTING!

You like?! :)

Today is the first day of summer here in Iceland and my birthday is in next week so I’m giving away two skeins of gorgeous Eigingirni in a SUMMER / BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY :)

All you have to do is comment on this post before 8pm on the 28th of April and you’re in! On the 28th (my birthday! :) ) I will use random.org to find two winners that will recieve one skein each from my Eigingirni-stash.

Don’t worry about shipping – in this giveaway I will ship anywhere in the world so the winner can enjoy his Eigingirni ;) And no, the winner does not have to pay for the shipping ;)

P.S. Eigingirni is my own hand dyed yarn. It’s icelandic wool, laceweight and perfect for shawls and smaller projects. It’s very warm and so light you wouldn’t believe it ;) For now it’s only available to buy it in Iceland but for giveaways I ship anywhere :)
