NH Knitting Mama yarn giveaway!




New to participate this month, is Amanda from NH Knitting Mama ! She sent in the most beautiful yarn- her Windham base in "Chocolate Bunnies". I absolutely love it! The more I look at it, the more I think I need some. There is just something completely edible about both the yarn and the colorway- Wonderful job, Amanda! When you visit her site to order yours, it will say "sold out" but Amanda dyes a lot and would be happy to whip some up for you.

I really enjoyed visiting the NH Knitting Mama site, it's easy to navigate and there are lots of yarn, accessories and designs to look at!

We're giving away this beautiful worsted weight "Chocolate Bunnies" yarn! Just visit NHKnittingMama, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll choose a random commenter later in the week- be sure you use twitter, facebook, ravelry or plurk to help get the word out about NHknittingmama, we'll count your social networking as a second entry in the drawing!

  14. Her colors are really lovely, vivid and rich without being neon. And though it's not actually fiber, I have to say I'm really impressed with the actual site! The layout is really crisp and simple, she's organized things nicely, and it's just a fun site to look at. :)

  31. Well I think there is so much loveliness going on over at NH Knitting Mama, but if I had to choose only one thing I would pick the Franconia-Cycle fingering/sock weight yarn. That yarn is amazing and I know that my son would love some socks made with it!

    Oh and those Chocolate Bunnies are so freaking pretty! The name just makes me want to eat it up: but knitting it up will do too! LOL. : )

  50. I found a lot to love at NH Knitting Mama - one of the biggies is that she is from New Hamsphire and I love supporting local folk.

    The other thing is that she names her yarns for town in the area - how cool is that...

    And, I really like the Lancaster yarns - all of them...

    The whole idea of the Phat Fiber Sample box is genius! We fiber fanatics NEED to actually touch and fondle. I'll be spreading the word about these sample boxes to both friends and yarn designers I know.

    The idea of sample boxes is just pure genius. We fiber fanatics need to touch and fondle. And the chocolate bunnies colorway is fantastic.
