Remember this cardigan? My green alpaca cardigan with its handspun yoke?
Well, today it just got “favourited” for the 300th time on Ravelry. And so I’m throwing a tiny blog giveaway just to celebrate.
Just comment on this post – it’ll require an email address, your name and you telling me what your current favourite object on Ravelry (or a craft blog) happens to be right now.
Most likely I’ll need to approve your comment (my spam filter blocks everything with a link or anyone who hasn’t commented before) but do not fret. All comments will enter into the giveaway. Winners are chosen randomly.
Prizes? As I said, it’s a tiny giveaway but there are prizes. And they’re straight from the stash.
- 1 skein of handdyed DK weight merino yarn in “Bramble” dyed by Old Maiden Aunt. It is an exclusive and not available to purchase on her site.
- A pair of vintage button ear rings (silver studs) handcrafted by yours truly. I’ve made several pairs for myself and they’re supercute.
- A crocheted flower brooch (yes, handmade and perfect for your favourite coat) – I have three of these to give away
- My Ishbel shawl/scarf in KidSilk Haze.
- And, finally, a selection of vintage buttons from my vast collection of vintage buttons.
And have fun and feel free to link. Winners will be announced next week.
ETA: Some people report they’re unable to comment due to proxy problems. This problem should now be solved. If you continue to have this problem, just drop me a line at distantsunATgmailDOTcom, rav message me, let me know on Facebook/Twitter etc. I’ll put in a placeholder comment for you.
Can I to say your stuff without sounding like a complete kiss-ass? ;) <3<3<3
I am actually quite fond of these mini-monsters at the moment: http://booip.blogspot.com/2008/06/monstergurumis.html. Adorable, colourful and too cute for words!
Godt gäet! Den er ogsä flot.
Apart from this kickass green cardi I just hearted, I am liking Attic24′s Big Blankie. For the colours and for how mcuh she loves it!

I spotted this jacket and love it
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Anlist/louises-longcardigan
definitely on my list of “I’d like to make it one day” projects
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/OctopusKnits/tokyo . it’s dreamy.
also really like the button tab hat and the louise cardigan. and kathleen’s star blanket and your latvian mystery yarn sweater and lynette’s wisp…i could go on.
At the moment, my favourite thing is a friend of mine’s socks: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/meljay/kai-mei
I’d been pondering knitting those socks (they’re from Cookie A’s book) and then Mel posted her FO and that was it, straight to the top of my queue! The colour of the yarn Mel used! The neat details on the foot! Can’t wait to cast them on!
Oooh, so nice prizes, this is not a small giveaway at all!
I am still in love with the Phildar sweater I discovered in spring:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pull-009-t8-258
But also love this cardigan from Denmark:
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Anlist/folklore
(and you already know I love your handspun cardigan – it is on my list).
That is a gorgeous cardigan, no wonder it has so many favourites. I’m currently loving this monkey blanket and am determined to knit it for some friends: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sleepy-monkey-blanket
Me! Me!!!!!!!!!! *waves*
Thinking ahead to Christmas prezzies, and just love this http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fornicating-deer-chart.
With autumn coming up, I think this vest is my current favourite: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/carson/urbano
but but I am not on Ravelry :(
Ooooo! Like the cardi very much – plan to make one myself sometime soon.
You’ve a great eye for colour.
Well done on 300 hearts – I get excited about 1! I also love the hexagon blanket at attic24, but as someone already pointed it out I will go for my second favourite ‘The Fisherman’s wife cowl’ it looks so cosy for winter. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-fishermans-wife
After being in Ravelry for a while, I think it is not possible to pick one fave any more – I have hundreds already;) However,these green fingerless mitts look just great:

P.S Your green cardi got my vote just now:)
I cant pick a single favourite. But I can say that ‘DigitalLeaf’s VK capecho modified’ made the most impact on me early on. It opened my eyes to how patterns can be heavily modified and improved and weren’t cast in stone. And it’s very beautiful !
in all honesty your garter yoke cardi is one of my very favourite things – it was the version that finally got me to decide to make it. It’s stunning.
However, this little dolly made by my good friend RoseRed is something I look at a lot with real admiration. She put so much love and care into it and then gave it away!

Hey :)
Well done! Yay!
And that cardi is lovely :D Not a colour for me (I can’t wear green, only very dark green, but nothing that has ‘yellow’ in it, if you know what I mean), but still. I could do it in a different colour. Eventually!
My current favourite is:

Your cardi is gorgeous! My favourite is the Lotus Blossom Tank , which I knitted in a gorgeous silk gifted to me for my 40th! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lotus-blossom-tank , I have worn it out to many social occasions now so it is a winner! lol

Right now, I am working on the one skein scarf in Melody, done by so many at Rav. I am thinking on ways to make the same scarf in different yarns with different embelishments.
Right now I adore these gloves: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/theaadrian/entangled-stitches
They’re far, far too complicated for me to try knitting anytime soon.
Oh wow, that’s incredibly generous of you. Also a lovely exercise in seeing various people’s favourite objects. Mine is currently this beautiful exercise in knitted lettering, with great colours, flowing lines and a dash of history and politics to boot: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/momerath/womens-work-knitted-broadside
And congrats on the response to your cardigan!
This Juno cardigan is a huge favorite of mine: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/KnittingBetty/juno
Thank you for doing the giveaway. It’s very sweet of you!
Well I’ve been pining over forecast for some time and seeing yours is very inspiring too. Now I just need to find the right yarn.
I love these Noro long gloves http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Rowanberry/noro-long-gloves The colours and proportions seem just right.
congratulations on your > 300 favorited status–your cardigan is lovely!! Looks like you’ll be going for 400 faves soon!!
Another awesome fave on many Raveler’s list right now: Damson, by Ysolda Teague: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ysolda/damson
Thanks so much!!
My current favourite is http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/milkweed-shawl the Milkweed shawl, I love its simplicity and the fact it is written out in full as well as charted as I have serious chart-blindness!
Well done on the 300 milestone!
Hi Karie, I know we share some types of patterns in common, like Ishbel. I came a cross this rather simple shawl just recently, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/traveling-woman, and I loved knitting these mitts: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knitsomniack/cranford-mitts and an absolutely new obsession, gloves: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/entangled-stitches
congrats to you on the big 300, or should I say 300+ now?
Congratulations on all the hearts. My latest favourite is Ysolda’s vine yoke cardigan – http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vine-yoke-cardigan
