Get your needles ready! On the heels of our one-skein yarn giveaway contest, several of the designers whose patterns were included in the contest have been gracious enough to offer a free copy of their pattern to readers of this blog. Post the patterns you are interested in in the comments below (make sure to include your Ravelry ID or your email address so I can contact you) by Thursday July 17 and we will draw for winners. And make sure you show these wonderful designers some love!
First up, we have Fèe by Tabismiles on Ravelry, knit from one-skein of fingering weight yarn. Fèe is a beautiful pattern and Tabetha has a lot of great patterns on her website. I am very taken with this pattern. Even though I swore off anymore queue additions, it made its way in there. Tabetha is on Facebook too.
Kelly, otherwise known as Gunard on Ravelry, has this awesome hat pattern called Rainbow Trout (best name ever for a hat). You should stop reading this post right now and click on the Rainbow Trout link to go see all the amazingly colorful, charming hats people have knit from this pattern. Kelly has a Ravelry group here and is transitioning to the name Pekapeka Designs. Her patterns are just wonderful!
Liz Corke has the final pattern of our giveaway (and a brand new baby!) This is Storm Warning and it is so perfect! It is also knit from one-skein of fingering weight yarn and I have some of my silk-cashmere yarn dyed with black beans to a beautiful gray blue set aside for it. Liz's website is here, with lots more tempting patterns, and she blogs here. I am desperately trying to keep myself from casting on Storm Warning until I finish up a couple of projects.
I love all three of these patterns and am grateful to their designers for being willing to share them with us! And, they are the perfect lead in to the next knitalong on the Elliebelly Group on Ravelry, which will start September 1. It will be our self-indulgent September KAL, and we are in the process of searching around for the perfect one-skein pattern for it. Whether you've knit with us before or are new to the group, please stop by and check out the KAL thread. There are lots of amazing ideas for a pattern, but we're going to have to narrow them down and make a decision by the end of the month so we have all of August to gather our yarn and prepare. We would love to have you join us!
Would love the fee shawl!
I would love to win the Fée shawl! I’m bluebelle530 on rav.
(Of course I wouldn’t mind Storm Warning either [; )
Oh my, how in the world can I pick just one?? I truly love all 3 patterns!! I really can’t decide, so I closed my eyes, pointed my finger, and it was on Storm Warning when I opened my eyes, lol! But I really would love to win any of them! Thank you so much for offering this fun giveaway, and many thanks – and love – to the designers that donated them 🙂

How wonderfully generous of the designers. These are such lovely patterns. I’m very much in love with how nicely the Rainbow Trout hat plays with busy yarns & have just added it to my queue wishlist! ^^

I love all three of those! But I think I love Storm Warning the most, closely followed by Rainbow Trout~ Thank you for offering this giveaway! I am nkfloofiepoof on Ravelry (sent here through the Dyakcraft group)
I love them all but if i had to choose one it would be rainbow trout. I can see making a family set of these for everyone since we are avid rainbow trout fisher-people ;). Bensgirl102397 on ravelry
they are all beautiful patterns, but I especially love the Fée Shawl. Thank you for hosting this giveaway, and to the designers for their generous gifts!

I love all the patterns and that is so generous of the designers to donate. At the moment I am drawn the most to the Rainbow Trout hat. It looks so fun.

I’m partial to Fèe by Tabismiles only because that purple yarn I dyed especially for her ♥ I am thrilled she used it in a new pattern.
I would LOVE to knit it.
Rav ID: Fairyblue

If I had to pick one, I would pick Rainbow Trout because I can make a bunch of them for people in my family for this winter. Thanks for the great giveaway!

So is it one pattern or one pattern per designer? If it’s one pattern per designer then I would have to pick:
That Cheeky Kea! by Kelly Brooker, Vixen Charm by Tabetha Hedrick, Storm Warning by Liz Corke.
But if it’s just one pattern then I would have to pick That Cheeky Kea by Kelly Broiler. Thank you for the giveaway! My Ravelry ID is Lildeb831.
I love Storm Warning! I’ve never done beading, so that would be fun and I love the cable edging.
I’m interested in either Rainbow Trout or Storm Warning, with Storm Warning being my first choice. 🙂
Oh, I hadn’t seen the Fèe shawl by Tabismiles before, and I think it belongs in my wardrobe! -AliKazaam-
All three are just gorgeous! I have the Rainbow Trout pattern and it’s so much fun to knit up and wear. I’ve already made several 😉 I would be thrilled to own either of the shawl patterns. Fee looks perfect for spring and fall and Storm Warning is perfect for a cold winter or a drafty church. Both are gorgeous!

Storm Warning would be a great one to win for me! Though all of the three patterns are lovely!
