Indie Design Gift-a-long November 1, 2013

 

Put another log on the fire...
It’s that wonderful time of the year when you relax with a warm drink and some clicking needles to make some fine gifts for your folk…

There’s some extra elves hoping to join you this year – a wonderful group of over 100 independent designers has put together a Holiday 2013 collection of patterns to get you on your way.

I’m pleased to invite you to visit the Indie Design Gift-a-long on Ravelry to browse and see all the great styles we’ve put together for your holiday stitching.

From now until November 15th, use the code giftalong on any of the patterns showcased in the List of Participating Patterns to get 25% off the price in the cart during checkout…


Chic Knits is offering the ELISBETH COLLECTION for the gift-a-long and you can get it here — 4 patterns delivered via a small eBook – only – $3.75 with the giftalong code.

There’s something for everyone on your list in this collection – from a shaped cabled headband to a horizontal cabled cowl (that works really well for HIM…he’ll steal yours…) to a great slouchy cap, we’ve got you covered!

THANK YOU all for knitting with us in 2013 – hope to chat with you in the KALs!
…Bonne Marie
