Giveaway: Laurel Hill Needles

November 30, 2015 by Sarah White

laurel hill needles giveawayNot too long ago I posted a roundup of some new-to-me products that make great gifts, and one of the ones I included was Laurel Hill knitting needles. These pretty needles are slick, shiny, just a little bit sharp, light and lovely to use.

These particular needles are made out of coconut palm wood and are available in sizes 9, 10, 11 and 13 (5.5, 6, 8 and 9 mm). I really liked using them even though I use circular knitting needles for most purposes.

This week I’m giving away a set of all four sizes of these needles to one reader. This week we’re doing a Rafflecopter contest so you can earn extra chances to win by visiting Facebook if you want. The contest runs through Monday, Dec. 7 at 12 a.m. Eastern.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

    I just learned to knit a few months ago and the lovely ladies at our group introduced me to circulars. I must say I’m a fan though I don’t have a specific favorite! 😀

Knitting Patterns for Pride

It seems like every year there are more rainbow colored (and other flag hued) knitting projects out there to celebrate Pride. Whether you celebrate at a local event or just want to add some more color to your wardrobe, these Pride knitting patterns are a great place to start.

See also these Pride knitting patterns, tiny Pride flags, and more rainbow projects if you need more inspiration.

These Pride socks from Birger Berge are a free pattern on Ravelry. They feature a rainbow flag on the heel and toe, plus stripes on the cuff with the word Pride and a heart worked in. 

Or you can Put Some Pride in Your Step with these allover colorful socks from Oriahna WhimsyStitch. Using a self-striping fingering weight yarn, they have a spiral rib on the legs and come in three sizes. The pattern has suggestions for if you don’t have self-striping yarn to use. You can find it on Ravelry.

Amy Snell’s Pride Like the Wind is a triangular shawl that uses slipped stitches to add texture to the multicolored stripes. The pattern was made with a large skein of rainbow colored yarn and mini skeins in rainbow colors, but you can use stash or whatever you can find in theose colors for a different look. You can find this pattern on Ravelry.

Pride and Elegance is a pretty pair of rainbow striped arm warmers made by martaschmarta. They call for fingering weight yarn and have sparkly beads incorporated at each end for extra flair. This pattern is also on Ravelry. 

Pride in Parallelograms by Treena Evans is a mobius knit cowl worked in a multicolored ombre yarn. It calls for DK weight yarn and is a free pattern on Ravelry.

Stephen G. Krueger has designed a lovely kippah/yarmulke pattern that can be worked in the colors of any Pride flag you like. The pattern is free on Ravelry and uses fingering weight yarn.

And if you want to make a full progress flag in knitting, you’ll need the modular progressive Pride flag pattern from Kim Smith for Alterknit Universe. The pattern comes in two sizes using different weights of yarn to suit your needs, and the modular style of the project makes it seamless. You can purchase this pattern on Ravelry.

If you want to add a touch of Pride to a sweater, wall hanging or other project, the abstract waves chart from Hits Knit Patterns is a great place to start. It uses the colors of the lesbian flag, but you could change it to whatever colors you like (there are six colors used and the chart is 49 stitches by 80 rows).
