Garilynn Faerie Slouch Hat Kit Giveaway!


Many of you received Garilynn's fabulous Faerie Slouch hat pattern in June's box. She related a funny anecdote to us on the pattern about how she came to name this hat. I'm just going to say that her husband is a funny guy! Reminds me of another funny guy I know... :)

I really love how this hat uses sock yarn- even more excuse to buy and hoard it after you've knit dozens of socks ;) And it's so light and airy- makes a perfect summer hat!

We're giving away this lilac/lavender kit away on the blog today- please visit Garilynn, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner later in the week so please take a moment to retweet/facebook/ravelate about Garilynn. You'll be helping us spread the good word, and getting an extra entry for your efforts!

    I think the Skein Snake is just a wonderful idea. I have a skein in mind that I know would have been tucked away in that and washed as soon as I got it (it liked to stick to itself) and it probably would have saved me some headaches!

    The Skein Snake is a great innovation! The adjustable stitch markers are also cool.

    I love the Skein Snake. I like to upcycle yarn and wash it first...I have been handwashing and then laying it around to dry and this would have been so much more handier
