Arctic stripes sweater-Giveaway for )Octobert/November 2017

I have to extend the deadline to December 31st 2017......sorry had very little time to work on this Project....Read on !


Arctic stripes sweater giveaway for October/ November 2017
This giveaway will run in conjunction with the Shetland wool blog.
Arctic stripes beanie.

For the longest time i have wanted to turn the Arctic stripe beanie into a sweater !
And this is my favourite colourway.....Purple, natural qiviut & Raven Black
These are the yarns i have selected.
Top row- are the Shetland Tundra in medium fawn.
2nd row- 100% Qiviut in Purple, Natural & Raven Black.
Picture is a bit overcast but the Natural pure qiviut & fawn Shetland wool are very similar in shades......only difference is the softness !

so all i have to do now is wind my yarns into cakes, make a couple of drawings to plan out the stripes & what goes where then i can get it cast on.

The design i have in mind is similar to my weekend qiviut sweater. Unisex style, Rolled edge cuffs, very comfortable, round neck line, not too close fitting more relaxed.
Please check back for updates.

    So glad I found your page and I love the inspiration of your Facebook page (and liked it)- Will definitely be keeping an eye on all the pretty stuff there!!!

    I love the natural/black/red or natural/black/raspberry combinations and if I were to make a sweater, I would make it XL because if I am going to be wrapped in the lovliness of qiviut, I want to be snuffled into as much as I can!

    Number one fan here! I've liked your FB page for quite a while now and I love knitting with your yarns. I'm Glenna Keating on FB, not Quilt Guru. Colour choice? This is a hard one . . . I like the orange, purple and red. If I had to choose one, I would choose the Raven Black/Natural/Orange combination. As for size, I guess X-large would be about right, as I like my sweaters roomy and it's for a chest size 47-48".

    Liked your page! Natural, Raven Black, and Raspberry for me.
    I just found out about Qivuit, so I'm super excited.
    I'm a 37 chest, 31 waist, 42 hips, and only 5'3, so whatever you think is the proper sweater size is fine with me, if I win :D

    Just "Liked" your page and really love the site here too. Have never heard of qiviut wool yet am a spinner. I live in Texas and Muskoxen are just not around here much! Nor were they in OR or CA where I learned to spin and dye wool. This is wonderful to learn! I am @ https://www.facebook.com/linda.ross.gill
    If I should be the winner, I would probably want a L or XL...I wear a 14 pants and dress, 36 bra. I tend to like things larger so probably the XL.
    Thanks, Linda Lou @ http://beingwoven.org

    I just "Liked" your page on Facebook and am curious about Qivuit from the Bing post on December 3 showing Alaskan muskoxen. If I would be the selected one...I would prefer to receive the Natural, Black Raven, Purple color scheme. I would like to have an XL as well. My facebook name is Karen Walker (The mouse that roared).
