I'm giving away a handknit scarf from my own handpainted fiber. I used the chevron scarf pattern from Joelle Hoverson's Last Minute Knitted Gifts. The scarf (and it is gorgeous!!) measures approx. 70" unblocked. It's soft, scrumptious, and just waiting for you to win it!
I put the same yarn in my etsy shop, in case you don't win and want to make one yourself! Go take a look!
All you need to do is leave a comment. I don't care what it's about. You could rave over my amazing talent, or my beauty, or you could just be truthful and tell me I'm an old bat who can't take a decent picture of her yarn.
I will pick the winner using a random number generator, and will mail anywhere. Except to Mars. No Mars entries, please.
Happy Holidays from me, the Knitting NonPareil!
added later - okay, go check this give-away out. Talk about cool, and unusual. And I want it. John would die. Then he'd love it anyway. http://www.mumovearls.blogspot.com/
edited to add: One last thing. Sew, Mama, Sew has asked us to extend the date of our giveaway, so I'll be picking the winner on Friday night. Someone call to remind me, please.

Awesome scarf please enter me in t win!! Thanks for the great giveaway
Love this yarn! And this pattern is one of my fav's. Now I just need to learn to knit and I could have one of these. Or to save me time and from ripping out my hair, I'll skip the learning to knit (for now at least) and would love to just win this one.
wow, I love that scarf, the chevron pattern is really unusual.
This is gorgeous and ironically enough I just started a chevron scarf from a yarn that I dyed myself. But your yarn is much prettier than mine (mine's accidentally pastel).
Happy Holidays!
This scarf is gorgeous!
That scarf is gorgeous. Maybe I shouldn't win...I'm not sure I could do it justice.
