Emily, over at Yarn Miracle<\/a>, is a pattern designer and stuffed toy maker. And recently she has added crack dealer to her titles.<\/p>\n

Okay, well, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. But it’s not far from the truth, if by crack one means squee-worthy yarn.<\/p>\n

But she has started writing a monthly series of blog posts entitled Mindful Fiber featuring small, sustainable yarn makers with pictures and quotes from the farmers and, most excitingly, a giveaway. And I won the prize for February.<\/p>\n

\"So<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The package was waiting for me when I returned home from errands on Saturday afternoon and I have been petting the yarn included in it nonstop since then.<\/p>\n

It is Shadyside Farm Studio<\/a>‘s Homespun Bunny, an exquisite worsted weight yarn that’s 25% angora combined with lambswool. This colorway is Rose Pink. <\/p>\n

\"Shadyside<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

There is more than enough yarn to knit the Like Sleeves<\/a> pattern from Yumiko Sakurai<\/a>, which came as part of the prize, although now that I’ve met the yarn, I may find it difficult to give it away. (I’ll definitely knit both the yarn and the pattern; they just not be knit together.) And Emily (who many years ago knit me socks and gave me a personalized knitting bag as part of the Blooming Feet sock swap<\/a>) tucked in a bunny clip and some chocolates.<\/p>\n

\"Prize<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

There is still time to enter the March Mindful Fiber Giveaway<\/a> to win an angora bunny kit in time for your spring toy knitting. You’ve got until Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Thanks again to Emily, Yumiko, and the folks at Shadyside Farm Studio for such a lovely prize! It’s the most pettable present I’ve received in a while!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
