THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
Congrats to @Darldaig for winning!
Sign-ups for the June 2021 Yarn + Pattern Club with me and Gauge Dye Works opened this week, and as part of our celebration, we’re having a giveaway! Actually, we’re having two, which is even better. Both Gauge and I are hosting our own giveaways, so if you enter both, you’ll have two chances to win.
About the Giveaway
To enter, leave a comment here on my blog or on Instagram telling me which you love the most: wildflowers in springtime, the beach in the summer, or colourful foliage in the autumn. I’ll select one winner at random from both blog and Instagram comments.
The winners will get to pick which colourway they want — spring, summer, or autumn — and will receive one skein of yarn and one pdf sock pattern when the club ships out mid-June.
Giveaway is open to anyone anywhere in the world.
You can enter on Instagram and on my blog. And don’t forget to head to Gauge’s Instagram for a second chance to win!

Cost for club will be $48 CAD plus shipping (approximately $39 USD).

P.S. Yes, that picture is all three colourways put together!
Some Previous Club Patterns
Hardy enough for adventuring yet pretty enough for lounging, Saxe Point will be a lovely addition to your sock collection. The socks are worked toe-up with an afterthought heel and shaped leg, with a colourwork cuff to top it all off. I designed this pattern in collaboration with Catherine of Gauge Dye Works. She took colour inspiration from one of my photos of Vancouver Island’s rocky seashore, and together we created a yarn designed to create a wonderful knitting experience — along with the perfect pattern to show it off. The self-striping yarn makes colours appear on your needles as if by magic. I have included instructions for creating the same effect by substituting yarn.
The pattern now includes the bonus “Twinkle” chart for some holiday cheer!
The yarn designed especially for this pattern is from Gauge Dye Works.
Full Spectrum is a clever reversible hat with fetching stripes on one side and pleasing geometric colourwork on the other. It’s worked from the crown of one side, through the brim, and to the crown of the other, so that the whole doubled hat is worked in one piece. It was designed in collaboration with Gauge Dye Works - their self-striping yarn makes this an addicting and enjoyable knit!
The yarn designed for this pattern is available in three colourways from Gauge Dye Works.
There’s also a cheery Twinkle colourway! You can get the colour-blocked version for the toque (it would also be great for the Botanical Sampler cowl) or the multi-striped version for the Saxe Point socks.
A flowing gradient splashed with short row “leaves” turns this semi-circular pi shawl into a stunning statement piece — and the perfect wrap for your outdoor adventures. And the best part? It’s worked in a unique self-striping yarn that shifts and blends, with golden sections appearing as you knit to tell you when to work each Leaf. It’s addictively mesmerising! I worked closely with Catherine of Gauge Dye Works to design this special shawl. It was an unusual collaboration, in that the yarn colourway and the pattern were developed in tandem to create a knitting experience that’s fun, engaging, and reflects the beauty of the great outdoors. Instructions are included for substituting a non-striping yarn.
