the great handmade hat give-away

that's the plan, i will pick one lucky winner for which i will knit a hat for! simple as that, well maybe not that simple, there will be a few rules!

one - you can choose the pattern, but it must be one that is either free on ravelry  or you can always send me a copy of a pattern you've got, the hat can be for yourself, your other half, or one of little ones, i really don't mind

two - i get to choose the yarn, but you can let me know what colours you really like / dislike,  (i promise it will be the good stuff as i only really like working with nice yarns!) you'd also need to let me know if for example you have an allergy to pure wool (you are of course welcome to send me the yarn too if you have something special in mind)

three - i can't set a date for when you will get your hat, what with work, children and about a million other things going on round here, although i will promise it will be this side of christmas (& i can normally get one finished within a couple of weeks)

just leave a comment on this post, i will leave the give-away open for a week & will pick the winner on the 16th October

okay trying really hard to add a button for this! hoping it works


eta: comments now closed -will pick a winner later today - good luck!
