a little giveaway to celebrate spring

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)
Blossom09

I know that I always bang on about blossom at this time of year but plum blossom is the first indication that spring has arrived again in our little garden and that makes me very happy. Toby is an outdoorsy kind of boy and life in the warmer weather is more relaxed and fun for him, so I'm cheered by the lovely thought of all of those warm and sunny days to come with paddling pool splashing, bubble chasing, tea in the garden and a bit of knitting in the sun for me of course!

Blossom209

Anyway, with spring and Easter in mind I've finished off the egg cosy pattern.

Pinkie

It will be available in my etsy pattern shop before the end of the week but if you'd like to win a free copy of this pattern in advance then please leave a comment below and I'll draw 20 winners first thing on Thursday morning.

Sorry but comments are now closed, 9.25am,Thursday March 19th

  4. Good morning to you Julie! :o)
    Blossom time is a very special time of the year and we love it too, down here. Our geranium vases are back out on the balconies in the sun light and now we’re waiting to see the first rose buds of this spring! Your egg cosy is simply adorable, the most lovely little face around – thank you for the kind giveaway and most of all for making the pattern available on Etsy. I just can’t wait to try to knit one! Have a nice day.

  8. Isn’t it so lovely to see the sun and the flowers starting to bloom?! Please count me in your little giveaway too Julie – that egg cosy is gorgeous! Also, I don’t know if you’ve seen it yet, but I’m organising a bloggy meet up near Oxford in the Easter holidays and it would be lovely to see you too (although I understand that it could be very difficult for you to make it)

    I love the start of spring, the pretty flowers and the opportunity to throw the kids out into the garden once more. We had thought we were heading into autumn here in Melbourne (such a relief after the bushfires this year) but its high 20’s today and up to 30 on the weekend.
