Understory Cowl KAL - Earn Free Patterns!

Earlier this month I mentioned that I will be hosting a knitalong with The Wool Dispensary for my Understory Cowl pattern this April.

If you haven't already knit with Wool Dispensary yarns, I recommend you give Imperial Poison a try. But, of course, you're welcome to join in the KAL fun using whatever you've got in your stash!

And, in the name of fun, I've decided to award those who participate in the KAL with free patterns from my Ravelry store.

Stipulations: You must complete the Understory Cowl, upload photos to Ravelry, and post them in this thread by end of day (your timezone) April 30th to qualify. Everyone who submits a completed project to the thread by this time will be given a discount code for one free pattern of your choice from my Ravelry store.

To spice things up, I'll also be giving away 3 copies of my Hot Child in the City pattern collection. These will be chosen by random from the project submissions at the end of the KAL.

**Note:** Those participants using Imperial Poison (or other TWD yarns for the project will be entered into the Hot Child giveaway twice - once for completing the Understory Cowl, and once for your support of TWD).

Good luck and I hope you'll join in on the fun!

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:
