Wow, do I have a great drawing for you to enter!
On my latest podcast episode I had the privilege of interviewing Kristin Nicholas, the author of Color By Kristin.
What a fun book this is! The designs are so colorful and whimsical and the
book offers informative practical design information as well!
Book available here.
Here are my 2 favorite sweater patterns from the book.
Don't they look like they would be so fun to make?
All of the patterns in Color By Kristin call for Nashua Julia Yarn,
a yarn developed by Kristin Nicholas herself.
In order to give you the full Kristin Nicholas experience, you have a chance to win a brand new copy of Color By Kristin (provided by Sixth & Spring Books) along with these 12 skeins of the beautiful Julia yarn! (Yarn provided by Westminster Fibers.)
What a great opportunity this is to play with color and try out the many great colorwork techniques presented in the book.
To enter to win this fabulous prize just leave a comment (with contact information) under this drawing post!
If you'd like to gain an additional drawing entry, please link to this giveaway
