Knit it Up Tag giveaway!



I just ordered myself some knitting gift tags from Knit it Up Yarns. I wish I think I might have to go back for some kate's more humorous tags as I played it safe buying the elegant pretty kind.

We're giving away a set of her more blatent tags and here is what Kate has to say in the listing:

I'm a gift knitter. I just love the satisfaction of making something with my own two hands for someone I love. These gorgeous gift tags have a place for you to write in your name and the recipient's name, and when you flip them over you can write in the fiber content and care instructions for your gift.

Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates the hard work you put into your handknitted pieces of art. Hopefully you're not knitting for those people, but just in case you think your recipient might need a bit of a reminder, these tags have a little note at the bottom that reads: "This project took hours of my precious time to make. You may now ooh and ahh and wear it every single day for the rest of your life." {Inspired by the lovely knitters in Ravelry's Selfish Knitter's Group}

Each set comes in a tin box for safekeeping.

I love it, having a few people on my list who are teetering on that not-so-knitworthy edge this year myself :)

Visit Knit it Up, find something you like, and post about that item in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner on Saturday! Tweets, facebooks, and blog posts get second entries!

Thank you always Kate for bringing some perspective to our knitted gifts this year!

  3. This is pretty easy - I love Knit it Up's tags :)

    However, my fave item from the shop is the Get a Grip balm. I got a sample of this in one of my first Phat Fiber boxes and have been in love ever since!

  11. I love the tulip gift tags and think the tin is a great idea to keep them from getting lost in my craft room.

    I also love the colors in the Lipstick, Miss Austen, Ophelia, English Garden and Serenity.

    The Sweet roving is really calling out to me. What a fun mix of pinks!

  15. The INK Empress 100 Percent Silk Ribbon Yarn is very beautiful. It reminds me of my vacation in Germany. Maybe because it rained the whole time.

  23. How can you only pick one great thing? The yarns are beautiful. The gift tags are great. I totally love the ones in the giveaway because they SO represent what I personally deal with.

    My fav thing in her shop, I think, is the "Get a grip" lanolin. She has the same problem I do. I never thought of the lanolin!

  30. I need one of those tags to put on a gift for my Mother-in-law. She asked for an orange sweater for fall when I saw her over the 4th of July and then when I saw her the 5th of August, she asked where her sweater was . . . And, the sweater is still where it was then, in some store in the form of orange yarn on a shelf . . .

  31. My 2 favorite yarns are Salsa Posh Cashmere Blend Sock yarn and the Blueberry Halo Laceweight Alpaca Silk yarn.

  32. Love the colors of the Mermaid Ethereal Laceweight Merino Yarn - there is just something about green. Perhaps that it's nowhere to be seen outside in the winter weather...?
