Magazine giveaway

My cowl knitting pattern was recently published in the Winter Knitscene. I posted a photo of my cowl here. I hadn't received a free issue from the publisher, so I went and bought my own copy. The day after I bought it, I received my free issue! Since I have an extra issue, I'm giving it away to you, my gentle readers. All you have to do is leave some kind of comment (any thing like a simple hello will do) along with some way that I can find you to contact you, such as a ravelry id, and submit it no later than 11:59PM Sunday November 5, PST. The winner will be randomly selected.

In addition to my own pattern, this issues features quite a few easy colorwork patterns as well other cozy knits for winter.

My cowl pattern is in publication - woohoo!

I submitted a pattern for this cowl to Knitscene back in March and it was accepted for publication. The Winter 2017 issue is out, along with my pattern! Here is the ravelry link. It's named "Hoppers Cowl" and is a very simple colorwork cowl that uses slipped stitches to achieve the pattern. Each round is knitted in one color and there are no extra loose ends to weave it. it's quite cozy and takes up about one ball of each color of worsted weight yarn. I hope you'll give it a gry!

This is my second published pattern. The first was also a cowl for Knitscene and it was for winter, 2013. At this rate, I should be publishing another pattern 4 years from now!
