I haven't had a give away on the blog in ages and ages-- mainly because I wasn't really using the blog anymore. But India got me back to it, and I'm thinking to try to keep it up for a while. And since we could all use a little more love in our lives, I figured to combine the two and give away some knitting on the blog! Plus, now that summer is here, what better time than to give away something warm, hand knit, super fly, and made of wool?
No better time. Clearly. You'll be preparing for the cold (winter is coming, amiright?), looking cute, and making someone smile.
Here's what's up for grabs: a pair of fingerless gloves, knit by me from soft, squishy merino wool yarn in a color that's a cross between orange juice and gold-- in other words, these gloves are made of happy.
They're perfect for cozying up to a mug of coffee or tea!
Or, because they are fingerless, you can write in your brand new, blank journal without fear of cold hands! Also great for reading books, playing video games, posting on Facebook, watching cat videos, or otherwise wasting time on the interwebs. And remember: summer time is overly air-conditioned time!
Here they are in all their glory, along with my fantastic props.
So now you know what I'm offering. But how, HOW do you get them??
It's simple, really. Leave a comment (by, say, June 2) telling me who you'd like to give these gloves to, and telling me why that person is awesome/needs some love/should be cheered up/is in desperate need of fingerless gloves. Assuming I have more than one comment, I'll probably use a random number generator to choose a winner. And then I will pop them in the mail to that person, and, because you were such an great friend to nominate them for such a nommy prize, I will send you a matching pair. Because I made two pairs :) And because I love you.

Cool! and awesome! I nominate knittingleftie (from Ravelry)
one more time...ME!
I have someone in mind who could use these in Seattle and then I'd love a pair for myself.
My mom works in a cold office and would put these to good use, so I nominate her! :)
Christina does a lot of typing in the wee hours of Santa Barbara winters. And they'd look good on her!
I am not suggesting anyone. I want to say that this is a generous and heartfelt gift. You are amazing, Jovi!
