Happy 2021 Giveaway!

What better way to kick off a new year than with a giveaway?

I’m so excited to team up with Kelly of @knitbrooks and Karen of @feistyfibres to bring you this magical bundle of goodies! These two ladies are both talented and amazing (fellow Canadian) humans!

Up for grabs is a beautiful large “MAKE” @pearadiseisland project bag, and some delicious @feistyfibres Fluff (colorway House) to go inside.

With some 16 inch 9mm zebrawood knitting needle bbs from @knitbrooks along with a Kelly Brooks hat pattern of your choice, you’re all set for a cozy day of knitting!

To enter: Go to original post by @knitbrooks on Instagram.

The giveaway runs until Friday, January 8th, and a winner will be drawn on the 9th.

Good luck!
