A New Year Giveaway!!

This is my first giveaway and wanted it to be special.
I made one for my mom as a Christmas gift when she was visiting and had a left over yarn stash.
I was so much fun creating this I said "why not make another"
So the wheels were turning... end of the year... gift giving... a year anniversary of the blog...
Wanting to do this much earlier but I took an unexpected break from here for a bit.
So here it is!! Tadaa!!
This lovely cowl pattern is from the amazing Rachel Ogelsby's book Crochet Boutique.
This book has so many great patterns and the Geraldine Circle Scarf is one of my favorites.
Check out her blog here and here Etsy shop here... (on vacation but will be back)


It was quick and easy and I love the pattern.
The yarn is wool and acrylic. It is extremely soft and feels luxurious.
It is so warm and cozy.
It has been hand-washed and ready to wear!





Official Rules:

This giveaway will be open to everyone ( so my friends over seas can enter too).
Give me a comment here, give me a follow, spread the love or repost any way you wish.
I am doing this on the honor system.
I will be writing everyone's name on a paper and will post the pic of who wins.
The winner will be contacted by email (so make sure you have a valid email in your comments).
This giveaway will be open till January 9.
This giveaway is now closed.

You can now follow my projects on Ravelry.

      Oh Sara your blog and your girls are lovely. So glad to have connected here.
      Crochet is much easier than knitting , I love to do both.
      Crochet with a big hook and thick yarn is quick and satisfying.
      I learned from videos online at first.
      Let me know it you give it a try.
