March KAL and a sale!

It’s been busy, busy around here. Since the last time I posted, I have finished writing several patterns, finished 5 samples, started and finished a spare time hat, turned a year older, and planned a KAL! WOOO! Yes, March will be our first KAL month this year.

I have lots planned for this year and one of the first things I said I wanted to do was to hold at least 2 KALs. So, in the month of March I am holding a NINJAKAL in my group! You can knit any of my patterns during the month of March (including WIP) and qualify yourself for some prizes and you know just join in on the knitterly fun! To go along with the March KAL, I am also having a sale on my patterns! Until March 15th, you can get 20% off using the code NINJAKAL at checkout. Now, this will work on any of my self published patterns. I also did something that I haven’t done before, I included the ebooks: A Vintage Ice Cream Truck and Pigwidgeon Hat and Mitts! I very, very rarely do this, so if you want to snag one of those, now is the time as it’s not likely they will be any cheaper any time soon.

Prizes, yes, I did say prizes. First of all, there is this:

Really, what is more needed for a Ninja KAL, than a Ninja bag? Probably nothing. Then, there is also this cute little set of  magnets:

Yes, cute…I know! These are the only prize spoilers I have posted yet. There will also be some yarn and possibly a few other things. But, I can’t show you all at once? I need to build some suspense, right?

So, if I have gotten your attention, stop by my group and check it out, join, poke around, stop by my pattern shop…I won’t bite (most likely).

Gift One Get One!

First of all, I must apologize. I have been absent again. I assure you, that it is for good reason. I am very very busy with lots of irons in lots of fires! I’ve also been sick twice since my last post. Let’s face it, my family is having a very hard time staying healthy this year. Though, when you are passing germs  between 6 people, it happens, I guess.

I saw last week or so, Carina Spencer had a really neat deal going on. A Gift One, Get One promotion. I thought this sounded like a lot of fun! So, today through noon on Thursday the 20th of December (CST), you can do the same in my pattern shop. Gift  any self published pattern or ebook through Ravelry and get the same one in return. Within 24 hours of your purchase, I will gift you the same pattern or ebook for free! Hope you enjoy this promotion, it’s my last of the season.

I have some exciting things coming in the new year and I can’t wait to show you them!

New Patterns and a Gift Card Giveaway!

Hey there guys! I’ve got some releases and a giveaway. First off, I have TWO new patterns today! Both are for babies/toddlers and both are knit up in Shine Sport yarn from Knit Picks.

First is the Garter Stripe Polo:

This is knit top down, in the round. The sizes available are 6months [12 months, 18 months, 2T, 4T]. I really like it. It’s a quick knit that looks fantastic with many different color combos!

Secondly, there’s Miss Abbey. This is also knit from the top down and joined in the round after the keyhole neck feature.

The garter bands on the sleeves and hem provide a simple adornment that looks very cute!

Knit up in a snuggly cotton blend, these two are great summertime knits.

 

Now for the giveaway. Well, this comes about because I completely forgot to submit ads on Ravelry for June. So, I have no ads for this month to spread the pattern love. Big fail on my part. My excuse is that in my insanity that was May, I just completely forgot about ads! So, in order to “spread the love”, I want to do a Knit Picks gift card giveaway. Basically, I will give you a $10 gift card to Knit Picks if you A) post a comment letting me know what you think of the patterns B) let me know your ravelry ID and C) favorite or queue one of these new patterns.  I need to know your rav ID so that I can check if you either loved or queued a pattern. I figure this is my attempt at advertising for the month! I will randomly [random.org]choose a commenter, check ravelry and then send you a gift card! You will have until June 15th and 1:00pm to enter this giveaway.
