KnitCrate Reveal and More Giveaways!
New KnitCrates!!
Awesome stuff inside!!
Turn back now if you haven’t received yours yet!!
For the rest of you, here we go:
This month’s KnitCrate has made very happy.
Not only did they fill my bag with my favorite yarn colors, but they made my life so much easier!
They now list on their insert card what the value of everything included is. Makes my life so much easier. I used to have to go look it all up myself, now I can get the reveal out to you so much faster. So let’s dig in.
Free Patterns
KnitCrate gave us 2 patterns this month and they will be included in the giveaway that I will go into more detail down below. (value $13 for both)
These beautiful knit patterns are the kind that make me want to learn to knit better.
Promo Codes this month
The card also includes three promo codes that have various values depending on what you order from them. As always I don’t put the actual promo codes here because that would be wrong. I just let you know what you can look forward to if you were to subscribe.
- Buy 1 get 1 free from Mindy Wilkes.
- Spend $50 and get $10 or spend $100 get $25 off in the KnitCrate shop.
- Get any 3 patterns for $6 from Heidi Nick.
Great promo codes, especially the KnitCrate one. If you haven’t checked out their shop, you are missing out. They have so many kits, yarns, and notions available, they are like a whole yarn store.
Sweet Extra
This month we got a huge bag of Brownie Brittle by Sheila G. ($3 value)
They have all natural ingredients and even though I’m not a fan of chocolate (lost the taste for it many years ago — lucky me), I do love me some toffee and brownies. This was so good, I was glad it was only 120 calories a bag. You feel gluttonous without the guilt.
Fun Extra
Check out these Kollage Square Circular Knitting Needles
These are designed to be ergonomically suited to your hands for decreased stress and strain to enable you to knit faster with uniform stitches.
I’ve always heard about square needles and wondered how well they work.
One of you lucky readers will get to find out. These are apart of the giveaway. So once you win you will have to let me know how you like them.
Check below for more info on entering.
Yarn Time
The yarn this month is 3 full hanks of Riveting Sport by Kollage. ($49 value for all)
Not only are these my two favorite colors, but I also got over 1000 yards of it. Each hank holds 350 yards of 100% recycled blue jean yarn. It’s mostly cotton (95% cotton, 5% other) and as soft as your favorite pair of jeans.
As will all the KnitCrate yarn, I have never used this yarn before so I’m very excited to try it out.
Giveaway Time
So for the knitter you will win the square Kollage Knitting Needles and the promo code for the two shawls included in the KnitCrate this month.
For the crocheter, I’m going to send you one of my favorite hooks:
The Clover Amour Crochet Hook, Size J, 6.0mm
