In this episode I talk about my yarn dyeing and how I create and document my formulas/recipes. I review a number of books with dyeing techniques. Includes reminders about the upcoming Intention Knitting KAL as well as the Travel Knitting Giveaway. Also, a general notice about discontinuing my lace line and bringing on a DK weight yarn base, as well as information about placing custom orders - always welcome!

Travel Knitting Giveaway!

I’m going on a road trip and I want to take a knitting project along. I thought it would be fun to have YOU select the project for me… and there are PRIZES!

Here are my stipulations:

• Keep in mind, I’m traveling in a car.
• Please no straight stockinette - I’d like the pattern to have a little interest.
• Please no crazy multi-page charts - simple charts are great.
• Please nothing bigger than worsted or finer than fingering.
• Ultimately I would prefer not to work in the round; it’s difficult on me in the car (insert green sad face).
• Pattern can be free or pay to play, but must be knitting.

To ENTER, please comment in my Ravelry group thread with your suggestion with a link to the pattern (if possible) AND tell me which item from my shop would be your ideal prize..

If I choose your suggestion - YOU WIN! 
I will ship you any one item from my Etsy shop - your choice!

If I don’t choose your suggestion… You still might WIN!
I’ll be randomly selecting from the suggestions that meet the stipulations above and I will ship you any one item from my Etsy shop - your choice!

RULES:

• Enter as often as you like, but please only one item per post - random drawing will be post based so multiple posts get you more entries 
• Entries MUST be made in my Ravelry group thread - (it's FREE to join Ravelry if you haven't already.)
• Entries must be received by Friday February 10th - Winners will be announced in the podcast filmed that weekend.
