A New Giveaway! and Lego Chat

Lego Brick Stitch Markers

I love doing giveaways... yarn and books and needles and notions are so expensive that any time I can help out and help people enjoy what they are doing or helping out by drawing attention to what they are making... it's a great day!

This giveaway will be running over at http://www.knitluck.com and will feature a set of my newest stitch markers: Lego Bricks! These little guys are created using assorted Legos (we are very fortunate to have a Lego store in Portland where I can acquire basic pieces without having to spend a huge fortune on them.  I use solid rings so there is minimal snagging on both needles and yarn, and glass seed beads to give them an additional pop of color.

Because I get such a great deal on the Lego pieces, which are normally ridiculously expensive, these sets are only $12 for a set of 7!  If you would like to order them, they are available over on my Etsy site at http://www.kusalaknitworks.etsy.com.  If you order a set before Mother's Day, you get an extra bonus beginning of round marker that looks like a little computer - it's extremely cute.  In addition, I also have some little flower Lego markers available too!

This giveaway will be up and running shortly, so be sure to check in over there in the next day or so for your chance to win a set, as well as some other great prizes!  Also coming up will be a opportunity here to win some great smelling soap from Snappy Rockfish Soaps!

Holiday Shop Updates!

Let’s face it, as crafty people, the last thing we really want to be doing is spending hours upon hours listing items for the various sites that we sell our wares on. Saturday afternoon/evening, however, that is exactly what I did. I got about half of them up. After about three hours.

I have a ton of new stitch markers, including the ever popular Lego heads, as well as some Pirate themed ones, some adorable hands with little hearts in them, and some basic little ones too with pearls and beads. In addition, I have HANDSPUN cowls (only two!) for only $35 dollars! I am not above shameless self promotion on my blog. :) I haven’t figured out a way to effectively list the TON of project bags that I have available as well, so if anyone is interested, just shoot me a message and I can create a custom listing.
