Time to pick a winner for my July Pay it Forward giveaway. There were hardly any entries to win the lovely braid of fibre, so I guess it tells me that not many of you are spinners! The random number generator picked post 2 - so congratulations to Christine65. I'll be getting in touch with you to get your details so I can post your prize off to you. It really is the most gorgeous braid of fluff and I look forward to seeing what you spin from it!
This month's giveaway prize has been very kindly donated by one of my fellow Stylecraft Blogstars Kathryn, aka CrafternoonTreats. We met up at Fibre-East last weekend; her stand looked fabulous, full of colour and so inviting. One of her best sellers was a crochet kit to hook your very own yarn bowl and I have possibly the last kit left that weekend! I very carefully opened it up so you can see what's inside...
Inside the kit is a gorgeously woolly cake of Kathryn's hand dyed yarn, crochet lace and cotton yarn for decorating your basket, a needle for adding decoration, three stitch markers, a gift tag to show your basket was Hooked with Love and of course the pattern. All you need is a crochet hook and a bit of time to sit down and make it! Thank you so much Kathryn!
To be in with a chance of winning, leave me a comment telling me what you're currently working on and I'll use a random number generator to pick a winner. The giveaway will be open until midnight on August 31st. Please make sure that it's easy for me to contact you by leaving your Ravelry or Instagram name or leave some other way for me to get in touch. If I haven't heard from the winner after a week, I'll pick another name. I'm happy to post world-wide so everyone can enter. Good luck one and all and may your crochet hook be lucky! xxx

Still working away at one of Lucy's blankets (attic24). I am fairly new to sock knitting but have just found my Pomeroy socks which I started last year at the bottom of a bag in my sewing room. I might get on with them tonight in front of the tv as it is going to rain all day here. My Ravelry name is CathP53.
I am in awe of anyone who spins but I have too many crafts on the go to start learning another! Great prize too.
It was so nice and exciting to receive your message this morning telling me I'm a winner of your giveaway. I'd better get on with spinning what's currently on my wheel (and spindles!).

That's a great prize! Very generous... I'm working on a tincan Flax sweater - on the last sleeve now, and also another sweater by King Cole in their Bamboozle yarn - an amazing mix of colours and textures which change all the time as you knit.

Hello! What a great giveaway! I am currently crocheting 'Claude the Octopus' by Kate Hancock. I usually crochet octopuses for premature babies, but when I saw the pattern for 'Claude' (a huge stuffed octopus) I knew I had to make it - although it will probably end up in my teenage son's bedroom! My Ravelry name is Trishrapleygiles.
What a beautiful kit! I'm now working on a Blue Magic shawl with pattern from Knottygnome. I'm also crocheting on a granny square stash bag. I love your blog! I'm heklepiken.com (crochet girl) I'm heklepiken on Instagram, Facebook and Ravelry
What a wonderful thing to do 'passing it forward'. the kit looks exciting. I am currently crocheting some alpaca flowers after attending a hand spinning workshop using alpaca fleece which I loved.
thank you. I am not on Instagram though.
I'm working on a Print o' the Wave stole in cobweb yarn - and going so carefully on tiny needles, I can hardly see what I'm doing. As a contrast I'm working on the sleeves of a cardigan I designed myself, which is fun and looking forward to wearing it. My Ravelry name is Melindaj.
Awesome prize. I'm knitting a mohair sweater I designed.
What a great prize! I am currently knitting socks and crocheting a shawl. My Ravelry name is lscalhoun.

I enjoy your blog and your kind giveaways! I am currently working on a colorful crocheted blanket for a new niece.
What a fabulous prize. I love the colour of the yarn and those little progress keepers are so cute. I've got a few things on the go at the moment, a pair of socks, a shawl, two crochet blankets and a cross stitch which I'm about a quarter of the way through but has been put to one side for quite some time now, I need to get on with it again.
Working on knitting a complete Hungry Caterpillar set - so caterpillar, all the food, cocoon and butterfly!

Thanks for the write up of Fibre East and for running the giveaway.
I'm working on a pair of socks and an Attic24 Cottage Ripple Blanket. Oh, and a small crochet frog but that shouldn't take long to complete (other than the making up....).
I'm knittingowltoo on ravelry.
I broke my arm a few weeks ago which is seriously cramping my ability to craft. However after some experimentation I have discovered that the cast on my arm doesn't hinder me too much in holding a crochet hook with the tips of my fingers and so I can s.l.o.w.l.y crochet a shawl. Hoping that they take off my cast later this month so that I can get faster and feel more comfortable while crocheting.
Hi Helen, what a lovely kit!
I'm currently working on a set of 4 cushion covers. I'm not yet a confident crocheter (is that a word?). But I'm using Attic24's Moorland Blanket colours and wave pattern, and making up the rest myself!!
I'm PixieFoxtrot on Ravelry.

At the moment I'm knitting a hood for a friend which when it's finished it will have knitted leaves, flowers and vines with berries on it. When I've knitted all the leaves etc I then gave to hand felt them. Love Pinklady558 xxx
That looks like a lovely prize! I'm currently working on a Catherine wheel stitch blanket, a granny stripe jumper and in between I do some charity crochet for a premature baby charity - currently they need blankets, so it's quite time consuming!
