Craft Corps Giveaway Day 23: Signed Copy of UK Version of AwareKnits!
UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THE WINNER IS:
Grace Hernandez!
Please e-mail your snail mail address to: contests@vickiehowell.com within the next week to receive your prize. Congratulations!
Today’s giveaway is from yours truly– The UK version of my book AwareKnits (co-written with Adrienne Armstrong), Knit, Purl, Save the World! It’s the same book as the US edition, but more civilized. Just kidding; the cover’s the only thing that’s different. Oh, and this copy’s signed by both me and Adrienne. 🙂
Excerpt from Craft Corps: (Introduction)
“I’ve been fortunate to make a career from crafting, and one of the greatest gifts it has given me is a sense of true community. I’ve been privileged to meet (either virtually or in person) thousands of fellow crafters as a result of my profession. Because of craft, I share an amazing connection with people all over the world–people of different backgrounds, religions, philosophies, and creeds. I likely would’ve never met or communicated with many of these folks had it not been and the explosion in the popularity of crafting. So I take great pride in presenting Craft Corps, a celebration of our unique community.“
Today’s Giveaway:

I love this! The photo(of the cover of the book) on the blog has been grabbing my attention. I love the idea of knitting and purling to save the world. Can’t wait to start felting, and have been reading up on it.
YARNYAY! FALL BOX REVEAL:
Every season, YarnYAY! presents a new box for knitters who are ready to dive into a more in-depth project than our regular monthly boxes. For Autumn, we've gone mad for plaid, and are thrilled to have partnered with FOUR other (besides mine) woman-owned, small businesses. (Tap to see.)
We're shipping these box beauties on Tuesday 10/17 and only have a limited amount. Reserve yours today, in whatever palette speaks to you, and we'll get it to you ASAP. Link in @vickiehowell bio, or visit yarnyay.com...
Happy FriYAY! the 13th, Ghouls and Gourds! To celebrate we're giving you 13% OFF YarnYAY's spookiest kits and patterns. USE code: FRIYAYTHE13TH. Spooky sale item collecting link in @vickiehowell bio
FREE Pattern 🚨 Alert: The Ginger Spice Bi-Color Brioche Scarf! We couldn't resist whipping up this beauty out of the YarnYAY! October featured yarn @thefibrecompany &Make Aran (in colors Spill the Tea and Mon Ami). Make it to match either pair of the mitt patterns that come with our October Box, or make it on its own. You do you!
This pattern comes free with the purchase of &Make Aran yarn from our shop. Add the pattern to your cart, and the discount will appear at checkout. Who's feeling spicy? yarnyay.com (link in @vickiehowell bio).
The Forager wrist warmers by @hellogavriella (and featured in the YarnYAY! October Box) might be my favorite crocheted mitt pattern we've ever included in one of our monthly boxes. The wool/alpaca blend of @thefibrecompany &Make Aran yarn is the perfect medium for textured linen stitches. Oh, and the peek-a-boo detailing at the top-edges, is *chef's kiss"!
Treat yourself to the October Box to get this pattern (plus THREE more!), yarn, and a couple more awesomely autumnal items. Link in @vickiehowell bio (or go to yarnyay.com) to learn more.
