Linto Cowl Pattern Complete and a Giveaway


My Linto Cowl has been finished for a week or so but I had my son here for a few weeks and so this post was delayed.  I loved this pattern immensely!  Andrea wrote a clear pattern that showcases almost any kind of fingering weight yarn.


If you have some experience knitting and are a beginner knitter looking to stretch your knitting skills this pattern would be ideal.  The directions are clear and concise.  The details Andrea addressed are perfect for dipping your toes into a textured pattern.


So there is a giveaway of ONE pattern to a person who comments on this post.  The rules are:

-you must have an email or ravelry name so Andrea can contact you.
-you must have a ravelry account - the pattern will be gifted through ravelry on ravelry
-the contest runs from today until next Tuesday - July 26th, noon eastern time.
-the winner will be selected by a random number generator by me
-I will announce the winner here on this post on July 26 and notify Andrea.
-if for some reason the winner cannot be contacted, another winner will be selected after a week through random number generator.


Good luck everyone!!


Thanks for all who participated, what a fun giveaway!  Using the random number generator, I'm happy to announce that the winner is Flyingjen who wrote "This would make great Christmas gifts to teachers! I"m flyingjen on Ravelry. Thanks for the chance."

    I love the pattern stitch on this! And the yarn color you chose really shows it off well... I'm always looking for cowls that use fingering weight yarn too - so this is perfect!

    That is a nice stitch (mock cable?) and you've knit a lovely Linto! I like fingering weight cowls and will be looking for this one on ravelry when it's available. (I'm readknit on ravelry.)

    I really like that stitch and love that it is a fingering weight--anything bulkier than that and I roast to death! So pretty...

    It's beautiful and I love the description you gave the pattern, "If you have some experience knitting and are a beginner knitter looking to stretch your knitting skills this pattern would be ideal. The directions are clear and concise. The details Andrea addressed are perfect for dipping your toes into a textured pattern." This is perfect for my knit club with a few that are on the edge of the next skill set but a big love for the cowl. :)

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
