Intrepid Otter Elosha Fiber Giveaway!


Trick or Treating is over, and now the push to complete my handmade holiday gifts is really underway! I feel really lucky that at least some of my family very much appreciates handmade gifts and it's such a joy to craft and meditate on how much I love someone while creating something beautiful.

Intrepid Otter sent in this beautiful Merino/Bamboo/Nylon fiber called Elosha (you will remember her character from the new Battlestar Gallactica!) and it's so lovely, and soft! This would be a dream spin for a small project like a hat, mittens, or small shawl.

To enter to win this beautiful braid, please visit Intrepid Otter today, find something you love, and write about it in the comment section below. Extra entries awarded for sharing this on your favorite social network!

    I am so in love with the Phat Fiber September selection "Lion's Head Nebula" (wasn't in-the-know about this site back then). WANT! Though I'm normally not a multicolor gal, I don't have a clue what I would knit. "You Live With Your Mother, Like a Serial Killer?" is my pick for fiber, those soft blues. Now to convince my family to get me a gift certificate for Christmas...
