hooray, a giveaway!

Hooray! It's the day! A giveaway in May! And it's my first giveaway and I really have no idea what I am doing but I am so busy that I don't have time to worry about it.  Phew!  Make sure you visit Sew Mama Sew and check out other great giveaways too!

So what am I giving away?  If you recall my earlier post I said I was giving away a knitted scarf just like the one I posted about here.  But I also said that I have made this scarf extra special...and here it is!

 

I call this my 'charm scarf'.  I knitted it with pretty much the same yarns as I did my first scarf but was worried about the colours.  Let's face it.  I am Melbourne born and bred and I am really into my blacks and greys for a lot of my clothes and I realise that not everybody else is.  I umm-ed and ahh-ed as to what I could do to add some colour to it without ruining it or making it too over the top...and this is what I came up with...

These are what I can only describe as little charms.  I hand drew some pictures of things and sewed them on to red felt and then onto some of the dangly ends of the scarf.  I think they are so sweet and are intending to make some for my scarf too.  I hope that someone else out there will like them as much as I do!

I apologise for the poor quality of the photographs.  Because I work full-time I am sometimes limited as to when I can take photos unless I plan ahead which doesn't always happen.  I will try and post a better photo tomorrow if light permits.  Alternatively you can check out this post which has photos of the scarf I made for myself in better light, but it doesn't have the cute little charms!

So please leave a comment below and I will randomly choose a winner from a hat on May 31st.  Rules are that the giveaway remains open for 3 days!  So spread the word and don't forget to check out other giveways too.  I know Marelle, Edward and Lilly and Ragland Guld are all having giving aways...but there are more to be found at Sew Mama Sew!
