Oh, a Give-Away!





Today I'm offering a sweet giveaway, a copy of the new book
One + One: Wraps, Cowls & Capelets by Iris Schrier.
My pattern is the Beaded Eyelet Hug, knit with one skein each of 
Artyarns Beaded Pearl and Sequins and Artyarns Rhapsody Light.  

The book shows so many beautiful shapes. I'm a big fan of cowls, capelets and wraps that are joined and stay put!  

Just leave a comment here, on Ravelry, my Instagram, or my Facebook page to be eligible to win.  I'll also have a few free NellKnits patterns to share.  The drawing will take place on Friday evening.  Good luck and enter everywhere!


The New River Fiber Company and Mosaic Yarn are giving away a Cashmere Level pass to the first ever Sheep in the Shade event!! 
I will be teaching there, along with Angie + Stephanie of Kismet Fiber Works 
and Courtney + Kate of Kellbourne Woolens.  
This will be at beautiful Claytor Lake, just outside of Blacksburg, Virginia.  

The deadline for entry is quite soon, the contest is on Instagram via  any of these links.
Good luck and hope to see you there.

I am also working on a multi-size & multi-gauge Poncho, 
shown here in a discontinued silk & cotton that I over-dyed with Indigo.  
I have been surprised at how often I have popped this one on.
Yes, it's just a simple rectangle shape, 


but with the addition of a few short rows, the neck is less open, 
and there's a flattering fit across the shoulders.  
I'm currently working on a Shale Lace edged version in some lovely KidSilk Aura 
that was just lingering in my stash, 
and have almost readied the pattern for testing.  
Do join in the fun, 
there is a size for you, 
and with all the gauge variety, you may have just the yarn you need tucked away.  
Send me an email or message if you're interested.
