3 skeins of my handspun yarn for free! Twitter only!

I just had my first official handspun yarn give away on twitter. It was fun. Congrats to Joy Little a local fiber addict here in Hampton Roads. Rohn Strong a fiber design artist for knits and crochet and other crafts and Rosemary of http://designsbyromi.com/ the three winners. I will post pictures of the yarn they won and the fiber content/yardage when I get home :)

Finished 2012 Midnight Marauders

They slouchy beret on the left–yes the red one. I couldn’t sleep so began to crochet it around midnight hence the name. Rap aficionados know that Midnight Marauders was a big “A Tribe Called Quest” hit album.
The yarn was a gift from The Crying Tree Studios out of Virginia Beach, VA…dyed and spun by Kerry.

I borrowed the teapot from my friend Vickie from Yarn for Breakfast. I used my scrap yarn. This is also a good project for wools that are not next to skin soft that you may have in your too pretty to give away and too scratchy to put on my body.
