Giveaway Winner Announced: Sam, aka Mercourier on Ravelry. Sam was the third commenter on the giveaway post.

Using a Random Number Generator (Random.org), I entered the number of comments -44 comments! Thank you all so much for participating!!!

I have to disclose that I'm close friends with Sam...so I was a bit afraid to announce her as the winner - thinking it might look a little strange. But I performed the random number generation in front of a witness - I promise!

Also, we do owe Sam a bit of credit for this book. She was the one to actually suggest the book designers to the folks at Malabrigo! Thanks Sam! I hope you love your copy of Malabrigo Book Three!

I intend to have many more lovely giveaways on BreeanElyse.com - so make sure to check back!

Also - I'm looking for test knitters for my French Braid Cowl, which will be available in March. Details for becoming a test knitter can be found here.

Here's a little preview of the pattern:

It's so great to see the finished projects of the Rasta Neckwarmer from knitters on Ravelry! Here are a few recent FO's:

The colors are so great. I just love this yarn!

Rasta Neckwarmer

My Rasta Neckwarmer design, featured in Malabrigo Book 3, has received a lot of attention from hungry knitters. This fact excites me greatly :)

Thought I'd share one that I whipped up for my friend Kasi to give as a Christmas present this year. These really do make such great gifts.

Interested in knitting this? Check out the Rasta Neckwarmer pattern details on Ravelry.

Snapdragon Tam for Kasi

My lovely friend Kasi picked out some gorgeous Madeline Tosh DK in Tart when she visited over Thanksgiving. The yarn was meant for Ysolda Teague's Snapdragon Tam, which I promised to deliver as a Christmas gift.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that Madeline Tosh yarns are amongst my favorites. They're a joy to work with and the colors are so inspiring. This Tart colorway was so arresting that I purchased a skein of it to create a second snapdragon tam for myself!
