Where did Spring go? It was in the mid 70s last week and now, I have to put my coat on to go outside? Seriously? I'm ready for warm weather!
I'm one of those knitter types that will fondle yarn all year long. It drives my Dad nuts- "How can you knit in 85 degree weather?!" he'll exclaim. Simple, I say: "A little invention called air conditioning". Besides, if you knit gifts for Christmas, getting a jump start on the holidays means starting in August- am I right?
Do you remember those fingerless mitts I was wearing in March's video? Sweet Melissa from Melissa's Kre8tions made them for me! They are so darn happy, I could eat them- if you really like them, I believe they are knit from her "Crayon" handspun that is listed in her shop now. She sent some samples in for March in the same colorway. Melissa was so sweet, in fact, she sent in a pair of fingerless gloves for you, our lucky commenter! Just visit Melissa's wonderful shop, find something you like, and post about it below here! These gloves are made with an open lace stitch so they are the perfect spring-time accessory for those of you who are also wondering where spring went. Remember, I will count your twittering, plurks, facebook status, blogposts and forum posts as second entries to win! Leave a way for me to contact you, in case you're the lucky winner.
Melissa, I love your yarn and your shop, and your outlook on life! Thanks so much for being a Phat Fiber contributor!

SO cute!
I love her packaging/tags, too!
Crayon handspun, to die for!
Retweeted, of course!
Thank you!!
Love the Strawberries and Cream. I live in a house of blue, with two boys and a husband, so anything pink tickles my fancy. Thanks for the giveaway!
The sparrow business card wallet is awesome. Love it!
I'm totally torn between the crayon yarn and the strawberries and cream! They both look like color combos someone in my house (not just me) would steal before I even finished knitting them!
The strawberries and cream handspun is gorgeous!
Retweeted!
It is 16 degrees right here...I could use some cute hand warmers that hint at spring! Love the Lachlan Handspun Wool in her shop, beautiful.
The Strawberries and Cream 320 Yards Handspun Corriedale is breath taking. I can see so many different projects knit out of it. Great shop!
Loved the little business card wallets so much, that I bought one!
The Blue Lagoon Corriedale handspun is lovely. I am also drooling over the Bulky Lochness in corriedale cross.

I love the Strawberries and Cream Corrie! Yummy. :D
I love the unicorn batts and the boyfriend blues yarn and the strawberries and cream yarn and . . . well, I could just keep going for a while. Hope I get a sample of the crayon in my April box!

Lovely shop and fun colors of handspun!! I esp like her batts they look so soft! Hugs Linda
Definitely the Strawberries and Cream although lots are beautiful
Rav id - purple
Ooooh - love the Strawberries and Cream yarn (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18703068) That would make a LOVELY extra long scarf. I have a thing for scarves that never end.
I get looks for knitting in the summer as well. I sell scarves like they are going out of style at fall craft shows, so I have to knit in the summer. :)
Something about the warmth of Passion (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18702816) just makes me want to snuggle right up and knit it.

I really love the blue lagoon. The hand carded batts were very nice too.
Your shop is very fun -- I love the variety!
I guess I'll have to say that Passion is my very favorite....
I love her Blue Lagoon colorway! And I love fingerless gloves.

I love the Crayon Handspun Blue Faced Leicester. I love bright colrs. This would make a pretty pair of handwarmers, or a hat. Thanks for the contest. Debbie
Lovely. I like the colours in the Passions Handspun - though they may be more for Fall than for Spring...
