A Checklist of Birds Giveaway!

I’m giving away two Checklist of Birds kits!
I can’t express how much I appreciate being able to communicate with knitters directly through email, so I’m having a special giveaway that’s just a thank you to my lovely subscribers.
Thanks to the generosity of Catherine at Gauge Dye Works I have two kits to give away. Each prize kit will consist of:
One skein of Bird sock yarn in the colourway of your choice (either Checklist, the Multi-Birds yarn, or one of the single-bird colourways shown above)

I’ll select two random winners from my email list, so if you’re subscribed, you don’t have to do anything, you’re already entered! If you’re not on the list yet, you can subscribe here to enter.
In case you missed it, here’s A Checklist of Birds pattern and yarn.
The fine print: I’ll select two random winners from my email list on Tuesday, October 18 and send them an email letting them know they’ve won. The winners will have three days to respond and confirm who they’d like the prize sent to. So if you’ve already purchased a kit, you can give your prize as a gift! This is just a thing me and Catherine are doing, it’s not associated with any social media company or anything. You don’t have to buy anything to be entered and subscribers to my email list worldwide are eligible.
A Checklist of Birds is a very pleasing catalog that lists the birds that are present in a particular region and when they’re around. This pattern takes that concept and puts it into sock form! Now you’ll always remember that Northern Flickers are common all year round in Victoria but that you’re much more likely to see Goldfinches and Rufous Hummingbirds in summer than in winter. This collaboration with Catherine at Gauge Dye Works takes the concept of the Checklist of Birds and roughly represents each month with two stitches so that a panel of 24 stitches is the whole year. When there’s a purl stitch, that bird is common that time of year. Catherine created an exuberant self-striping yarn to celebrate eight common birds we love here in Victoria, but you may want to do some stash busting and celebrate other birds too!
