Congratulations to Frank George!
When Yarnspirations contacted me about featuring their fall lookbook (which I was totally going to do anyway, because I love it) I threw out the suggestion that we could do a giveaway with the yarn from one of the patterns.
Because I’m a big fan of gifting what you would like to receive, I picked the Strand-Tastic Cowl, a cute and easy cowl worked with stranded colorwork where the strands are actually on the outside of the work as you wear it.
I like the look of a project like this but have never actually done it myself. Maybe thinking about this project will finally inspire me to try it on my own.
The giveaway this week, then is four balls of Classic Wool Roving, one each in natural, yellow, aran and low tide. It won’t hurt my feelings if you knit something else with them, but I think they’re lovely in this cowl.
If you want a chance to win these, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, November 2. (What is it doing being almost November already?)
Why don’t you tell me what you would knit with this yarn if you weren’t going to make the cowl, or who you would make it for if you were. (I would keep it for myself.)
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

The cowl looks super neat, I would probably try to make that, for myself.
I think I would have to try and make this for my daughter
I have been into making cowls for gifts of late.
It gets awful cold where I am and these come in handy so I would probably knit the cowl.
Thank you for the chance.
I would knit the cowl and give it as a Christmas present to someone.
Ohh, I think I’d knit that cowl with it – it’s cute.
I would be willing to try this stranded cowl. I could always regift it it doesnt work for me. 🙂
I would try to make the cowl for me…
I’m not sure about the cowl, but think the wool roving would make a terrific felted bag!
I would make a cowl, but probably a different design
I’ve been knitting lots of chemo caps I think this would make a really cute chemo cap and make someone very happy!!????
The cowl looks interesting – and the yarn looks soft and warm – so I would probably make that as a gift
I am taken by the cowl and the chance to work with roving.
Would make either a cowl or infinity scarf.
I’d either try the cowl pattern, or do a different cowl, maybe leaving out the yellow which isn’t a very good color for me. The yellow on it’s own could probably make a fun stuffed pumpkin or star.
I would make a different cowl as I have tons in my Ravelry queue, and keep it all to myself!
I would make a scarf.
I would definitely make the cowl, it is gorgeous!
Lovely cowl. I usually make everything for everyone else, I should be selfish for a change and make it for myself.
I would probably make a cowl. Maybe that one or maybe a different one, depending on what the pattern is like. I’m a new knitter. I would make it with the intention of giving it as a gift but probably end up keeping it for myself.
This cowl is so cute!! If I wasn’t to knit this cowl, I’d probably knit a striped cowl.

I would knit a felted handbag! I live in Florida so I really don’t need a cowl. But the wool roving looks awesome!
i would make the cowl – and probably wear it a few times before giving it away to someone who would love & need it (: but if not the cowl then possibly mittens!
I would make the cowl and probably as a gift for a cousin overseas!
Love the cowl. And since it’s been predicted that we’re having a rough winter, I’d give it my daughter. Commuting and walking in blustery in NYC, this is a perfect gift for her.
Cowl is beautiful!
Lovely cowl! Thè colors remind me of a recent trip I took with my husband. It would be a great momento to knit for myself for a change.
I would knit the cowl. It is simply gorgeous.
Maybe try a crochet translation!
I would make the cowl for myself.
Ohhhh, that Lookbook has lots of cute things to make. And I love the cowl and would absolutely make it.
I would gift the yarn and pattern to my daughter since I cannot work with wool. She loves wool items and is learning to knit.
I have a friend who’s been after me for a knit cowl lol. She’d be getting this for Christmas ????
I love the look of this cowl and I have neverd done this type of strand work. Looks neat. It would probably be for me 🙂
Lovely!
Knitting has become my new obsession!! This cowl is amazing and would look great with my new winter coat.
I’d definitely make the cowl! I adore scarves and cowls!
Love the yarn! I’d probably give it away for a gift.
What a beautiful pattern and color way !
actually, i would love to try this cowl. i am new to crochet and still learning, but i have finally completed several types of afghans, two different scarves, a hat, rugs and baskets using tshirt yarn, and a lot of little projects. trying a cowl is at the top of my “to learn” list.
Knitting a cowl is on my to do list, after I finish Christmas gifts:)
I would love a chance to win this yarn and I think I would make the cowl with it. Probably give it to my wonderfully pregnant daughter as a Christmas gift.
So pretty!
I just love yarn!! Anything to keep me busy!!
November means weather for wearing cowls and sweaters! I’m all for it.
I would give the cowl as a gift but undecided as to who at the moment.
The cowl is beautiful and would make a great gift. Maybe a gift for myself!
I love this cowl and have planned to make it for myself since I saw it in the look book! 🙂
This would be a great gift for a friend up north. (I live in Florida!)
It is a beautiful cowl. Love the colors. Since yesterday was my birthday I would make it for the winter.. for me.
If I made the cowl, I would give it to my best friend. She moved across the country and it would serve as a hug from me. 🙂
If I made something else? It would be hats…I’ve been designing my own and this yarn would be perfect for one of my new designs!
