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
