A giveaway

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)

Today I'm very pleased to be hosting a giveaway on behalf of Kerry at Pennydog. She creates beautiful and unique resin jewellery and has recently started making gorgeous handcrafted knitting needles with delicious names like Strawberry Jam, Contrary Mary and Shooting Star (see below).

Needles4

All are UK size 3 (6.5mm / US 10.5) and are just over 7 inches
long – perfect for knitting up a scarf and are created from
translucent resin mixed with iridescent style glitter with buttons added on to prevent your knitting from slipping off. They come gift boxed so would
make a lovely gift if you could bear to part with them!

The lucky winner will receive a bespoke pair made especially to their colour preference. To be in with a chance please just leave a comment on this post and we will randomly draw one winner next Wednesday.

Comments are now closed thanks, a winner will be announced shortly.

  278. How many comments! It’s going to be hard, very hard, to be the winner, but here I am ready to try!
    I cannot knit, but I will be so happy to give these beautiful needles to a dear friend who knits baby blankets and booties for premature newborns, donating them to Italian hospitals intensive care units.
    (By the way, if there’s some british knitter who would like to create and donate a baby blanket or baby booties for this purpose please leave a comment on my blog and I will get in touch with all infos, thank you)
    Therefore…. good luck to me!
    All the best Julie
