Crafts Beautiful - Quick & Crafty - Let's Make Cards Magazine

Hello everyone!

As the current knitting challenge closes in a week or two I thought I'd keep you busy by setting you another - you know you can't resist the lure of beauteous yarn prizes!!

As usual we have a selection of delicious yarns up for grabs including some of your favourite brands! All you have to do is post an pic of your entry! The challenge is:

Create any kind of knitty project that features a colour change OR moss stitch OR both.

Easy peasy, right! [even though I *always* make mistakes with moss stitch ]

Only one entry per member please, this challenge closes on the 22nd February 2010 at 5.30pm UK time.

I'll post a sneak peek of the prize this afternoon.....


Go, go, go knitters!

Good luck!

Kate

Oooo how exciting! and I've just made a moss st chenille scarf too. Think I'll have a look through all my yarns and see what else I can scrabble together so I can get a colour change in too. I haven't worked with more than 1 colour for months, so this will be a great challenge to have a go at! Yay, can't wait to see a piccy of the prize that's up for grabs.

I wasn't joking about the oodles - this is a close up of the bag of lovely yarn and it's BURSTING with yarny goodness...and this is just the first layer...

Now if that isn't an incentive to reach for the needles, I don't know what is!!

ooooooooooooooh blimey, another one to get involved with! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ooooo wow, I just want to dive into that bag. I hope I can think of something good enough to do.

Yes K&F that's one of my 'things to do before I die'...dive into a huge mountain of wool

Oh thanks Kate! - so many challenges so little time

OMG!! How did I miss this one? Ooooh will have to get my thinking cap on! Moss stitch and colour changes? Hmmmm......

here is my entry, there is moss stitch at the top and bottom and just a few colour changes!!!
I used up a load of odds and ends of yarn and put beads between the flowers. Also after knitting fair isle for about 40 years I have learnt how to knit with the yarn in both hands and therefore not getting in a tangle, it is so easy when you know how as I am a bit of a dinosaur with knitting. I also used up the free bag handles with last months Let's Knit.

Wow SuzyB that's fantastic! What a great stash buster too

Lovely entry Knittingqueen!

Hi there

You don't have to include a colour change - it needs to feature moss stitch OR a colour change or both.

And the colour change can include a multi-coloured ball of yarn....

Hope this helps!

Kate
