FO Friday & a Giveaway!

It's been a busy week over here.  I've been knitting frantically trying to get my WIPs off of the needles so I can have something to share and mainly so I can just relax and spin this week.

 Last weekend, I finally finished my Malabrigo Hitchhiker.  This is the second hitchhiker I knit this year, so I was ready for it to be off of the needles.  I love the pattern, I love garter stitch, but after so long I'm ready for something different ;)

The other project I finished this week was my SpinningFates socks.  I love the yarn, it was super soft yet durable and the colors are so vivid!  I have another skein of this yarn in similar colors (pink and green, but much more soft and muted) that will eventually be made into socks for my mom.

So I just spent the last week in New Orleans so I did not get much done in terms of knitting. I did a ton of walking, and eating though.  I probably gained 10 pounds from all the yummy food!  I have one FO to share. I finished my Once Upon a Time March square before we left so I can start my April square now.

Jen and I want to thank and reward our readers so we decided to have a giveaway!  If you subscribe/follow the blog and leave a comment on this post, we will randomly select a winner on April 16th.  You must be a follower/subscriber of the blog in order to qualify!  Winner will receive a skein of Dancing Dog Dyeworks Tweedy DK in the colorway, Kiwi

    Good to find your blog. I love your Hitchhiker. I just started my first one and dig it but I can see the garter getting tedious eventually. Thanks for the giveaway. Fingers crossed! And thanks for the comment on my own blog! <3

    Nice to read what you are up to. Now I can knit vicariously through you! Hopefully I can get back to knitting before too long.

    I LOVE that cross stitch pattern! It's so cute! Can't wait to see it finished, in all its glory!
    Also, that yarn looks delicious, so of course I'd love to win the fantastic give away. :)
