Welcome to Fiber Arts Friday! Another wonderful week full of Fiber Arts love. I finished my first cabled project. HOORAY! My hat is super awesome. I am really pleased with how it turned out. Now I am ready to start knitting my next pattern with cables. I used this hat for the Nerd Culture Challenge in Nerd Wars. This month's challenge was Best Dressed and I know this hat totally creates the Best Dressed Look.
Now, somewhere in the midst of sharing all of my Fiber Arts Fun, I have met many amazing Fiber Artists and Bloggers. I have received a lot of wonderful gifts (which I try to post and share when I get them) using all forms of Fiber Arts. It's been a long time since I've had a give-away so...today will be the day. To share in the celebration of Halloween (because I really do love the fun of the holiday), I am going to give away a skein of my handspun yarn. Yup! You read that right. 360 Yards of my Suri Alpaca blended with Blue Faced Leicester and Silk all processed by yours truly. You know you want it! All you have to do is leave a comment. I will draw a name before next Friday then post the winner. It's that simple. Thank you to everyone who shares their Fiber Arts Adventures here weekly. I love my TGIFAF (Thank Goodness It's Fiber Arts Friday) Now...share your adventures in Fiber Arts.Fiber Arts Friday !

What an awesome giveaway, Andrea!! It would be wasted on me, however (can't knit)...so please don't put my name in the hat. XXO
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteYour hat is totally awesome and when I win your yarn I think I will make one for myself!
You go girl!
I want it I want it I want it!! Amazing yarn! Gorgeous hat, I really like that is it chunky AND cabled.
ReplyDeleteGood morning and Happy Fiber Friday... if only I could skip work and stay home to knit up the current projects :( at least today is payday
ReplyDeleteThe finished hat looks amazing, love it. I bet it is so warm and snuggly too. The cables look fab ;) Best dressed indeed.
ReplyDeleteI've admired your handspun since I first came across your blog, and those are my colours, so I am crossing my fingers. I've never tried any handspun before (because I'll invariably fall in love and want to take up spinning!)
The hat looks Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYum, your hat makes me think of raspberry sherbet. Love the cables! It was so nice to see you on Saturday and it was such a relief to have my beautiful batt arrive with Emily on Wednesday night. Thanks for helping it find it's way home. You won my contest from last week so I need a color-ish preference and I'll get your prize on it's way. Have a great week, and congratulations on making such a pretty hat.
ReplyDeleteThe hat came out brilliantly. Cables are great fun. Once you start you can't stop. They are addictive.
ReplyDeleteUm, I TOTALLY want it, that's gorgeous!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the hat!! I'll be back to blog later after I take the kidlets to school. :)
Wow--that is some beautiful yarn! Thanks so much for having this giveaway. I am a yarn-addict on a tight budget!
ReplyDeleteYay! Your hat is totally awesome! Was it just last week you were fretting about cables? And now you have a totally sassy cabled hat! You rawk!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I would love the yarn... cuz you know how much I love your stuff. :-D
Your hat is perfect, I love big cables like that and the color is scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteOoo your hat turned out great, I love it! Very sassy! Very delux yarn, what a fabulous give away!
ReplyDeleteYOU are super awesome! Beautiful job on the cabled hat. I have done a hat or two with cables and was thinking of doing something on a larger scale. I have been eyeing the Beatnik sweater on Knitty, but I think it might be too intimidating. But, I might just practice and see if I can do it. I do love a challenge and am ready for more interesting knitting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your talent and having such a great giveaway.
I love Fiber Arts Fridays!
Awesome hat and super amazing generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteNow i must confess that last week I had added so many great blogs to my reader that I was totally behind and never made it to reading and commenting all of the FAF blogs specifically. But this week I have a new and improved plan. Start here, then the reader. Yay!
What a year....first socks and now cables...way to go Andrea!!!
ReplyDeleteNice job on the hat! I would love to be able to try your homespun yarn.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the hat ... and conquering the not-really-so-imposing knit cables! I must admit, knit cables are some of my favs, and your hat shows them off very well. I think it's time for another session with sister bear behind the camera.
ReplyDeleteWhoever wins that skein is gonna be a real happy camper!
I just love your yarn.
ReplyDeleteYour hat looks beautiful and very cozy, and the yarn is so yummy, would be glad to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteA give away? I am in! I am working with my owned dyed yarn at present but haven't managed to post pics. I will try to post and link to it next week. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hat. It just so happens I was looking to cast on a new project. Hat it is!
ReplyDeletewhat lovely looking yarn!
ReplyDeleteThat yarn looks real cool, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteThat hat turned out beautiful! I love cables. They are super easy to make, but they make a project look complicated. I also the love the yarn you are giving away!
ReplyDeleteYour hat turned out so nicely, so glad you enjoyed knitting the cables, I'm sure you'll find many more fun cables to knit!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have a skein of your yarn, I'm jumping in the give away pool with all of my feet :-)
Super cables, your title of "I want to do bad things" for it on Ravelry makes me sing the song "I want to be evil" by Eartha Kitt every time I see it= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5VaBgXzuM
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I do want it! Your handspun is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCables are fun, aren't they? Your hat looks fantastic.
I like your cabled hat. And that yarn is gorgeous! I would love to knit with it. Thanks for a chance to win. What a great give-away!
