Giveaway Day (and some last minute knit gift ideas)

It’s giveaway day on Sew Mama Sew and being in the Christmas spirit, I thought I’d participate this year by offering two Maian Shawl kits!

Each of the kits contains enough lace weight yarn to complete the shawl, a Maian pattern, a drawstring-project bag sewn by me, and a $10 gift certificate to my Ravelry store. The “Subtle” kit features Quince & Co’s Piper in Avocet as seen in the pattern sample and a dogs in galoshes project bag (note: the Piper yarn comes with hand-written tags because it came to me without any). The “Spicy” kit features two skeins of Malabrigo lace in Glazed Carrot and a fox project bag.

As an added bonus, I’m offering a third $10 gift certificate!

But wait, there’s more! I’m offering 20% off any pattern in my Ravelry store for your last-minute crafting (or gifting) needs with the code STILLTIME.

To enter, leave a comment below telling me your most (or least!) successful holiday craft project. I just had a bust yesterday trying to make a bunch of (now limbless) cornstarch dough ornaments, but my husband is still wearing the the sweater I knit him back in 2009! Also let me know if you have a subtle/spicy preference!

Entries accepted until December 12 at 5 p.m. PST
