Fibre 4 Fibres Giveaway preview 32

It's been much colder here for the past few days, but the sun is shining so that more than makes up for the cold. Besides, it's the perfect excuse to wrap up in layers of knitwear! With the start of a four week lockdown here in England, now might be the right time to learn a new knitting skill and this week's prize ticks that box nicely.

The prize includes a beautiful pair of Hamarsland handwarmers knitted and donated by the true Queen of Colourwork Knitting, Hazel Tindall. They are just perfect! There is a copy of the book Fair Isle Designs from Shetland Knitters volume 2, which I was donated via Hazel from the Shetland Guild of Spinners, Knitters, Weavers and Dyers. It's full of inspiring patterns with a range of difficulty - something for beginners as well as more experienced Fair Isle knitters. Of course, you need some yarn too, so there's 13 balls of 100% pure British wool which is perfect for colourwork knitting, and a large Jamieson & Smith tote bag to keep it all in. Julie from Wool Zone has also donated some Emma Ball sheep stitch markers and tin and some colourwork cards to help you organise your knitting. Jamieson's of Shetland has donated a kit to make a pair of gloves featured in the book. So a truly wonderful prize! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated a prize this week.













I'm sure that you know the score by now, but I'll tell you how to enter anyway! You have a chance to win all these gorgeous prizes for a minimum donation of £2! Are you tempted to try your luck? Here's everything you need to know. This giveaway will run this coming Sunday 8th November, closing at 23:55. To enter, go to my JustGiving page here and buy your virtual raffle tickets by donating £2 or more. £2 gets you 2 tickets, £3 gets you 3 tickets, £5 gets you 5 tickets and so on. The more you donate, the greater your chance of winning. You will need to leave your Instagram or Ravelry name, or tick the box to share your details with me when you make your donation, so that I can contact you if you are the winner. This is really important as I have no way of knowing who you are otherwise. Each week, I still get donations where no name or email is left, so if that person's number comes up in the random number generator, I have no idea who it is! All your donations go the Myositis UK to help fund research into this incurable muscle disease, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support. Every single donation is important. Let's see how much we can raise this weekend! With luck, the total should pass £7500, which is 75% of the target. I have to pinch myself sometimes that you've helped me to raise so much money. Thank you! xxx
