by 10 Comments

we are knitters giveawayWe’re all about multi-crafting here at Craft Gossip, and though their name is We Are Knitters, this yarn and pattern company is all about knitting and crochet.

They recently launched a collection of crocheted bags for summer, and offered a kit as a giveaway.

The Menorca Bag is worked in a solid color of their fabric yarn and is rated easy. It’s a perfect beach (or market) bag and a great way to build your crochet skills if you don’t already have them.

And don’t worry, exclusive knitters, we’ll have a giveaway just for you soon, too.

To enter this contest, instead of leaving a comment here, please enter on this page. The contest runs through June 1, and there will be one winner.

I’d love to know if you enter, though, so come leave a comment here, too, if you like.

  2. the link doesn’t work in Google Chrome… fill in the information and the screen turns black.. no entry confirmation. I notice there are only two people entered, so it is probably not working for others too.

  3. It looks like it’s Facebook only giveaway. you have to sign in there first then enter using the form.

  5. You should state that it is a facebook only giveaway. I am not on facebook so I can not access the entry form. When I first clicked the link, the entry form appears and is quickly covered up by the facebook login form. Guess us regular people are out of luck.

  6. This is a case where the company doing the giveaway picked how they wanted it to be conducted, so I don’t really have any control over how they collect entries. So sorry it’s been difficult/impossible for some!

  8. what a shame it is FB only – and doesn’t say so on the entry form… well I guess I will opt out of getting all of their emails too, since my business doesn’t matter to them!

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
