I love things that have dual purposes. I also love beautiful things. Perhaps that is why I love Twice Sheared Sheep's new shawl pins! Her heavy wire pins double as stitch marker holders (and who wouldn't want to display her infinity stitch markers?).
Dawn has been busy creating all sorts of wire shapes (check out the shawn the sheep ones!) for her pins. They might just be the perfect touch to top off your shawl! Speaking of shawls... some of you may have noticed I am on a huge shawl kick lately. I just can't stop knitting them! Shawls could just be the most perfect accessory ever invented. Feminine, functional, looks good on every body type, and I doubt anyone would mistake your knitted or crocheted shawl for some mass-produced big-box garment. My personal goal for the Ravelympics is to spin 8 oz of fiber and then knit that yarn into a shawl- if you're looking for a group to join, check out the Team Phat! Whew, I think I have convinced myself I am in desperate need for one of Dawn's shawl pins.
We're giving away this shiny copper shawl pin and stitch markers to a lucky commenter. Just visit Twice Sheared Sheep, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner this weekend, so be sure and twitter, facebook, plurk or blog about your favorites!
Thank you Dawn, for creating this lovlies for us to enjoy!

It has to be one of the Marker Buddy Shawl Pins. Or any one of them, actually. It's such a neat idea!
And I were in the shop anyway, it wouldn't be difficult to convince myself to let a pair of earrings slip into the cart either ...
OH!!! I just love the Cotton Candy Row Counter!!! So much prettier than chunky plastic turny things! RTed @millarca
The bunny marker buddy shawl pin! Go bunnies!
I LOVE the crochet row counters with numbers. Being a journalist, I'm not so good at numbers... Any kind of help during knitting or crocheting is awesome!
Since I absolutely love sheep - it has to be Copper Shawn the Sheep Marker Buddy Shawl Pin! What's not to love about that one!!!
Her stitch markers are my absolute favorite so I'd have to choose any one of them!
I love the Sterling Silver Swan Marker Buddie Shawl Pin.
Shawn the Sheep is perfect! And Kitty cat too!
The kitty shawl pin marker buddy is super cute. Now I'm not normally have cats on my clothing person, but when I were my knits people give me the funny looks so I might as well represent with a stylish kitty.
I like the Crochet Chain Numbered Row Counter and of course the adorable Copper Shawn the Sheep Marker Buddy Shawl Pin!
I love the sheep shawl pins.
This was a tough call. She has so many goodies! I'd have to decide on the aluminum horse or unicorn marker buddy/shawl pin.
I think the swan marker buddy shawl pins are beautiful!!!

Oh I love the Sterling Silver Swan Marker! I drew one just like that about a year ago but no way to make it. The copper heart is lovely, too! Thanks for a chance to win!
I know it's not fiber, but the first thing that caught my eye were her Tree of Life necklaces. Particularly, the Bare Winter one.

Definitely the Copper Shawn the Sheep Marker buddy. How practical and adorable!
I like the sterling silver heart pin!
I really love the Aluminum kitty cat marker buddy! I am such a cat lover!
I love your Aluminum Bunny Rabbit Marker Buddy Shawl Pin, actually I like all your pins and stitch holders.
My favorite is the French Braid Cabled Purse Knit Kit - love this bag!

Shawn the Sheep is just too cute!

Who would not love any of the shawl pins. Particular love the silver swan.
I like the Bluebird recycled yarn-pretty blue tweed. Really nice. But the Roberta gloves are nice too. HMMM!
Shawn for shawls! 'nuff said.
I love the Sterling Silver Swan Marker Buddie Shawl Pin.
Bunnies are nice, sheep are nicer! I love the sheep shawl pin
The Copper Shawn the Sheep is my pick.
Shawn the sheep is so cute. I love him.
So many pretty choices! I like the green & gold infinity ring stitch markers, and the white freshwater pearl bird's nest pendant...beautiful work.

The Swan Shawl Pins are beautiful!
I like that there is recycled yarn, and these super cute tags:
Recycled Yarn Gift Tags
WOW! I thought I had found the best stitch/row markers available but I am blown away by this site. I've been looking for a crochet row marker and will definitely be getting one. I'm also in the market for a shawl pin to pair with my current in-progress gift project and will order it from here - they are so beautiful. The bead quality and color selection is stunning - just my style. Thank you so much for introducing this fantastic Etsy shop!
i was just remarking to 'the Postman' this morning that I needed a "real" shawl pin - having been using my "Oh Shiny" pin from KIPing it Real on my shawls.
The Aluminum bunny rabbit is so cute - I like it!
I really can't decide between the Shawn the Sheep and the Kitty Cat shawl pins...
I love the Sterling Silver Shawn the Sheep Marker Buddy Shawl Pin. Does she make any dog pins?
I love the sterling silver heart shawl pin. Her row counters are cool too!
hmmm she has some emerald recycled laceweight merino which is just the perfect shade of green.. but I also really like the silver heart shawl pin. Really nice store.
Oh my, I totally love her work, I'm so excited and if I don't win will definately be asking for a Sterling Silver Heart Marker Buddy Shawl pin - or the copper one as that is as beautiful too.
The infinity and mobius stitch markers are so pretty and different too.
You know, I think I'm going to have to go with the Twisted Sister Hat and Gloves pattern. Normally I'm kinda "bah humbug" about paying for patterns and just wing it, but that's really pretty badass.
I love her Tree of Life pendants...beautiful work!

so so cute!
I love the Sterling Silver Heart Marker Buddy Shawl Pin I will tweet about it.
I really like the kitty shawl pin but they are all adorable!
The tree of life shawl pin was definately my favorite.
gotta be the sheep marker buddy! i love things representing our fluffy friend!
lol, k, i just bought the copper one!
OOH!! She has a twisted hat kit and french braid purse kit. I LOVE KNIT KITS!!
So many beautiful things to love! I would have to choose one of the shawl pins, they're lovely and that's what I need the most... I think the kitty pin would be my first choice, in salute to my cat who "helps" me knit my shawls (mostly by trying to sleep on the yarn...)!

Love the Fair Isle Knitted Gloves Pattern! Love the idea of recycled items . . . great shop. =)
I love their Black Ice Number Chain Counter. What a great idea to have a little chain with numbers to count rows (for example in a lace pattern). I always muddle up my rows and have to start counting/guessing.
I love the Shawn the sheep. As a matter of fact I think I will order one next payday. I also really like the pearl earrings. You do such great work.
Blogged about the giveaway. =) http://the-wardhouse.blogspot.com/2010/01/gardens-chickens-and-knitting-oh-my.html
I really like the bunny rabbit marker buddy shawl pin. SOOOO cute!

It's been entirely too long since I visited her shop! I love these shawl pins (have always loved the mobious & infinity stitch markers). But what I really love, and must have (as soon as finances allow again) is one of her tree of life beaded pendants. I wonder if I could get one made for Mom with stones in the colors of the birthstones of her six children - hmm, must convo . . .
I am crazy about the marker buddy shawl pins but it is incredibly hard to choose.
The Marker Buddy Shawl pins. Which solves the problem of keeping those things settled on my shoulders. You'd have thought I'd have known... :)
I think the Knit Green Gift tags are the best. What a lovely way to make a comment and very appreciated by those who would care
Okay, I absolutely love everything! So hard to choose, but if I must I would choose the silver heart shawl pin--just stunning and I wear shawls most of the time.
Twice Sheared Sheep has been one of my "favorited" etsy sellers for quite a while now - I check the recycled yarn stck often! Have also bought stitch marker/row counter sets for myself and as a gift - so pretty!
The shawl pins are a lovely addition...the horse's head would be a nice gift for a dear friend.
The beaded tree of life pendant if beautiful.

Wow! So many beautiful things! I really love "Shawn the Sheep Marker" though...sooo cute!! :)
Love the Rainbow Numbers Stitch Markers. Lovely colors...
Everything I saw screamed "Get Me!" but the total WOW factor went to the Sterling Silver Heart Marker Keeper Shawl Pin. That is beautiful.
Thanks for sending me to this shop.
I love the aluminum cat shawl pin vbarton24 at gmail dot com
The infinity stitch markers are so graceful, I love them!
I love the Shawn the sheep shawl pin in copper, very cute!
