Thank you to everyone who entered last week's giveaway! Random number generator tells me that the lucky winner is #2, or Sarah, who says,
"I wear a cowl or scarf every day from September to May! I keep feeling
like I have plenty but then I always want something just a bit different
when I'm grabbing one in the morning."
I feel you, Sarah! I like my collection but always want more! I've messaged you on Ravelry to get your choice of accessory pattern. I can't wait to see what you choose. By the way, Sarah is a potter and does lovely work so you should check out her website.
Last Friday was my birthday and besides doing a little too much imbibing with a great group of friends I attended a Hazel Knits trunk show at the Fiber Gallery.
Clockwise from the upper right: Cadence Laguna, Cadence Shady Verdant, Artisan Sock Haze, Entice Rogue* (yellow), Artisan Sock Rogue (red and spruce green), Artisan Sock Acorn.
Let's just say that I spent both time and money making my yarn selection (birthday money from family purchased this lot otherwise I would have held myself in check a bit more). Hazel Knits is one of my very favorite sock yarns and I love Wendee's color sense and her wonderful yarn bases. She recently expanded her line of yarn to include a worsted weight superwash merino and I picked up a skein to give away to you wonderful folks!
Say hello to Cadence in Ruby Love. Love is right, for sure. This is 200 yards of a gorgeous ruby red 100% superwash merino that's perfect for a cozy Fall accessory.
To enter, tell me what you would knit with this gorgeous skein of yarn. Please leave a way for me to get in touch with you, a Ravelry ID works best but if you're not a member (why!?!) make sure you leave another way for me to contact you.
Best of luck!
*Rogue colors are one of a kind colors that don't quite match the intended colorway. They're always gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteOooh, I didn't know she was doing worsted now. Awesome! I love all of your color choices for your bday presents. Fun!
ReplyDeleteI would love that red yarn. Top of my list to make would be Magnolia. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/magnolia-16
My rav id is craftyland.
Thanks!
What beautiful choices, I can't wait to see what you do with them! I was looking at a very similar red skein just morning. I'd love to knit a pair of bright red fingerless mitts to cheer up a friend of mine. (And it would cheer me up to win the yarn!)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a pretty red hat to me,perhaps with cables??? Grannysticks on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful red. Right now, I'm all about adding contrasting toes and heels to otherwise "vanilla" socks — and this color would make a great secret surprise when hidden under a pair of shoes. Until the shoes come off, that is!

That would a delightful hat, so cheery and happy. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm ShadowByrd on Ravelry.
I would knit Orbit by Janina Kallio....the pattern calls for DK weight but could be adapted for the Cadence (which is GORGEOUS!!)

I know exactly what I would knit with the Cadence! Sand Bank by Justyna Lorkowska!
ReplyDeleteI love the Ruby Love colourway!
Rav: jacflash
Happy belated birthday! I think the yarn would make a pretty apple pie hat from tincanknits. My ravelry ID is martinalici.
ReplyDeleteA lovely lace cowl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous colour! This would be perfect for a beautiful pair of lace socks. My rav id is supkaa :)
ReplyDeleteI love Hazel Knits but haven't seen/felt Cadence in person yet. I think might knit the Ammolite cowl by tincanknits. Thanks for the opportunity! I hope to attend Knit Fit to see the Hazel Knit yarns in all their colorful glory.

I can see a lovely long pair of fingerless mitts in that skein of yarn. I suffer from consistently cold hands, so aside from cowls and scarves, fingerless mitts are always fun. And that looks like a fantastic stash you got with your b-day money!

What a gorgeous red!! I would knit the Knotty Scarflet by Sylvia Harding or Oak Knot hat by JuJu Vail & Susan Cropper, both which I do have patterns for! Think they would definitely show this yarn off well! Rav: 9crafty11
ReplyDeleteI would knit a hat - I love red hats!

What a lovely shade - I would go with a hat or fingerless mitts - my rav id is knittingpessimist- thanks for the opportunity
ReplyDeleteA hat with cables to show off that yarn! Rav ID: suzeq22knits
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! Last year your birthday was my lucky charm, so here we go again.... I have never knit with hazel knits yarn and would like to. i would mix ot with some gray yarn and make a slouchy hat and cowl set for me.
ReplyDeleteYou picked out some really lovely colorways at the trunk show.
ReplyDeleteRuby Love is such a lovely red - I think I'd knit yet another Koolhaas hat in it.
What to knit --- hat, scarf, socks, fingerless mitts --- I think I will have to buy more yarn and knit them all.
ReplyDeleteRavID: GeneHunter
You are doing some cool giveaways! I think I would knit the Jul Hat pattern, but after lurking around more on Ravelry my thoughts may change haha. That site sucks me in!

I would probably make another wurm for me- I have one in a deep navy, but some variety would be good with my grey coat, and we're going to Copenhagen over new years, so warm will be important! RavID: knittinginheels
ReplyDeleteVery fun giveaway, thanks! Oh how I would love to make some mittens with this. I've been wanting to try this yarn line for awhile. I am keshaevans on ravelry.
ReplyDeleteOH, most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Thanks for thinking of us!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you got to go to a Hazel Knits trunk show. I am currently knitting a pair of socks out of Artisan socks in Iris and just yesterday bought a sweaters quantity of Lively DK in the Crescent colorway. Yes, I would love to have some more Hazelknits, I think this red would make a lovely Christmas hat.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably make some kind of cowl-maybe with twisted stitches and lace :) I'm katriddell on ravelry.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color! I would knit either a lacy scarf or a pair of fingerless mitts. Rav ID - lisaknitsthings
ReplyDeleteGreat color choices! And happy, happy birthday! If I won I would make something warm & squishy and wear it throughout the holiday season! Thanks for the giveaway! Jitteryknitter on Rav, Lisa B in real life
ReplyDeleteAs the weather starts to get cooler, I would make a scarf and some fingerless mitts.
