@jill-maldonado I live in Canada. When do you need the pattern? I can knit up a quick swatch and write up a wash cloth pattern fairly quickly.

Alternatively, if you have a ruler, we can figure out the yarn weight by determining the WPI (wraps per inch). There is a quick explanation of how do do that here. Then I can swatch on my end with…[Read more]

Hi @dana-gervais. The amount of yarn included can be decided once the project is selected. Because I work with reclaimed textiles, the fiber content is never exactly the same. Safe to say a poly/cotton blend. The yarn is thick. (how does one gauge yarn?) I cut it into 1 1/2″ strips which curls in on itself as I pull it and wind it – so, something…[Read more]

@jill-maldonado How much yarn is included in each kit? Is it cotton? A simple garter st wash cloth is probably the way to go. To write out instructions, the designer would need to know the size of the needles and the t-shirt yarn (for gauge). I'm happy to help if I can.

@tanja-osswald To enter, you have to 1. Follow me on Instagram 2. Repost the giveaway post with the hashtag #DanasSockKitGiveaway. 🙂

That's a lovely set, @dana-gervais! How can people participate in the giveaway?

@dana-gervais that is a SERIOUSLY cute bunny! I'm looking to have fewer parts and pieces though. (just the t-shirt yard, needles and project bag). Good idea though! Keep 'em coming!

Thank you @susan-heyn I have yet to master crochet! I can do a simple embellishment or edging, but that's it.

That bunny is adorable @dana-gervais! I crochet but still haven't mastered even the basics of knitting.

I'm doing my first Instagram Giveaway. To celebrate reaching 1000 followers, I'm giving away a sock kit. The kit includes a skein of hand-dyed yarn (by me), matching project bag, matching stitch markers and your choice of pattern from my Ravelry store.

This is the first time I've done a giveaway with an actual physical prize.

I'm hoping to…[Read more]

I have taught knitting at my local elementary school. We knit simple garter stitch squares and then ran the bind off tail in a triangle and it forms a bunny. Seriously, a bunny. Then we stuff the bunny, sew the seam (just one seam) and glue a pom pom tail and eyes onto the bunny. There is a photo of the finished bunnies on my instagram feed.…[Read more]

@susan-heyn Definitely!!!! Could you do it so the winner could choose which of your patterns they want to get? We've got some other pattern designers doing that. Email me at GeekyPuffinKnitPalooza@gmail.com

@jennie1408248 Just emailed you. 🙂

@jill-wolcott I know! Illustrations would help, but a lot of the kits out there seem to link to a how-to video for casting on. Thanks for weighing in!

@jill-wolcott, so sorry about the business break-up with your sister! It is even worse with family since it carries over into your private life.

@Riin: Well “I do ALL the colors!” would be a selling point, too. But I agree with Jill that too many colors induce overwhelm (I could watch this with each person entering the Wollmeise store…).

@Riin, what about emailing them your logo, so they can put that up on their website?
And about attitude: Of course HFY is mention-worthy! It is a sign of quality of the shop that they have it. You are not begging them to be nice to you, it is an honor that they can sell your yarn.
