March is National Craft Month, How About A Giveaway?!

Craft |kraft| – noun: An activity involving skill in making things by hand

It’s March (you mean we’re already a ¼ of the way through the year??  Holy cow!!), and March is National Craft Month!

What is everyone working on?  Personally, I have so many projects going right now, I couldn’t even list them.  Let’s just say I’m buried in yarn and of course you know I’m loving it!!

So, in the spirit of National Craft Month, of course you know I have a super fun giveaway to tell you about!

I have a trio of books from Interweave for one lucky reader!

  • Knitwear Design Workshop
  • The Knitter’s Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters
  • Pop Knitting

To be entered, comment on the blog here, and then link back to this blog on either your own blog, facebook or twitter. Make sure you link to me (Marly Bird on Facebook, Marly_Bird on twitter).

That’s it!  Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I will pick a winner at the end of the month.  Can’t wait to hear what everyone is working on!

Xoxo

Marly

P.S. If you like prizes and giveaways be sure to check out the podcast as I ALWAYS have giveaways on there! You can find it at www.https://blogtalkradio.com/yarning (rss feed is https://blogtalkradio.com/yarnthing.rss )

    Weaving a scarf; spinning 6 oz. of fiber (I figure I’m almost 1/3 done with that); hemming a pair of pajama pants. Just finished two pairs of fingerless mitts for the kiddos. Little projects that can be finished in a evening are so satisfying… 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I have the body done of a February Lady Sweater (by Pamela Wynne), the body done of a Light Shade of Gray capelet (by Justyna Lorkowska), and the colorwork section of a cowl that I designed, but I need to knit a lining for it! I also have the yarn wound for a Chadwick shawl (by Stephen West) and a Spry hat (by Stacey Trock). My plan is to try to finish one or two of the mostly-done-things before I cast on for anything else, buuuuut we’ll see if that actually happens!

    Too many to list, partially because I’m swamped in baby blankets for the large crop expected this year by family and friends. To keep it interesting, I try to never make the same one twice and most of them are my own design.

    I have a basic garter stitch blanket on the needles right now. WW yarn held double, knit in garter stitch until your brain explodes lol. I’m trying to use up some left over yarn. Later in the week I plan on starting a baby blanket.

    For some reason my last two projects that came off my head, or shall I say my needles were very small. In fact, just tiny toys. Although I was in the middle of knitting a shawl, I knitted a little bunny holding a heart. I named it Some Bunny Loves You. Then the husband wanted a monkey, did that one too and finished today. A monkey that is swinging from a rope so he can hang it on his rear view mirror in the truck. Needless to say, mother said I have plenty of time before Easter to make all 8 of my nieces and nephews these bunnies. Not sure if I can, not sure if I have the heart to refuse but I have to see the neurologist tomorrow for my right arm. Secret is, I have been loosing strength and sensation. The doctors are not sure. I know I will have to try anyhow. I love the kid`s faces when I make them things.

    Well . . . Today I am casting on another pair of socks (thank you, Marly for teaching me how to knit socks!) with some gorgeous Lorna’s Laces yarn. This one is from Socktopus. I just started another feather and fan baby blanket, which I make as donation blankets for my church.

    I think if I began to list all the projects I’m working on, I’d surely run out of characters…however, to name a few, a new scarf design, more patterns for my upcoming book (# 2), a crochet afghan using fingering weight yarn (I know, right?), a knitted afghan with beautiful cables, lets see, what else? Ok, that’s enough.

    I am working on a knitted box cabled cover from Leethalknits, a cabled Cowlsweater that is taking forever, and what I’m most excited about is a sweater I designed myself. The first time I have worked a sweater in the round bottom up (have done topdown mainly). It is colorwork and lots of fun!
