I saw the giveaway post on Pinterest this time. Knitting is such a great way to express my need to make. It’s endlessly fascinating and changing and I’m constantly learning and pushing my boundaries.
I found this give away on facebook . I was looking to see if I could find currant sock yarn. (Hoping it would jump out of the pages into my arms.) I have knit since Iwas about 8 years old. I also crochet. Right now I help an initiative called Mats for Cats. We are volunteers who make “Mats”” for shelter cats to sit or sleep on while they wait for adoption . It is a great feeling just making and sending them. I find that either knitting or crocheting allows me a chance to work with color and I enjoy that part very much. It is also a great way to “live” with stress. Your beautiful hand painted yarns are wonderful. It is nice to treat myself to a few skeins once and a while. I love to feel the yarn in my hand and hug it. It is the yarn itself that speaks to me and tells me what it would like to become. In order to do a project, the yarn must be inspiring. I have knit my way through quitting smoking for good as well as a lot of other stressful times. I love to knit or crochet just because I feel like doing it. No stress required. So a day with nothing to do but knit or crochet or work out a new project are my is a day of complete pleasure.
Your site came to me on Facebook as a suggested post. I love all yarn and I have been knitting and crocheting for over 60 years and I’m still making garments every day. My favorite thing to knit at the moment is toe up socks, they are so much fun and there is such great yarn to knit with these days. So I am very happy to have another place to find beautiful yarn to buy.
I saw this on Facebook & knitting has become a way to relax and enjoy the artistry on all levels!
Love you Chandi!!! ❤️????your yarn is amaze and I become in love with it more and more every new color way I see. Your YouTube videos knitting for the absolute clueless taught me how to knit about 3 years ago and then learned crochet a few years later. i like crochet better because it’s easier to fix and see mistakes! I FROG constantly with knitting.
Anyway thanks for keeping fiber arts chic!! Xo
I have been knitting for 66 years I find it enjoyable and have knitted the most beautiful little outfits for my 2 children 4 Grandchildren and now 3 Great Grandchildren, So this has kept me busy, [ Oh! nearly forgot my husband and myself]. What fun seeing it grow into a beautiful hand made article.
OMG!!! LOVE your yarn, your patterns, your site, you and your man 🙂 Such a fresh site filled with inspiration. I found you on Pinterest. Just pinned the giant crochet rug! I’m a knitter – learned when I was really little from my mom, grandmother, great-grandmother. I also learned how to crochet when I was young but for some reason I ended up knitting more. I’m definitely going to try the rug!
I saw this giveaway via my email since I subscribed to the Expression Fiber Arts newsletter. I learned to crochet in middle school and then to knit in college. I love making things with my hands and seeing a beautiful product result makes me happy. It helps me unwind and relax.
Saw this on tumblr. I can barely remember a time when I didn’t knit & crochet – just part of who I am now.
I found this giveaway through youtube! I taught myself how to arm knit then I went to finger knitting. I wanted to be able to do hats and headbands for my kids so I went and bought some needles and started watching your videos. That’s all I go to now is your pinterest, YouTube and your website!
facebook! I taught myself to crochet about a year ago and love trying different yarns and ideas. I havent made anything with the yarn the has different colors so it’d be super exciting to win
Love love your yarn. Currently making a sweater out of the most beautiful bright pink yarn,
I’ve been following your blog for a long time. I find all things yarn very relaxing. Thanks, Chandi! Gorgeous yarns!
My name is Jess and I am in Tennessee! I just started knitting, literally a few weeks ago. I learned from your videos!:) I just finished my first cowl yesterday and it was so exciting to see the look on my husband’s face because the cowl was for him. He absolutely loved it. So even though I just started knitting, to me it’s like knitting is a way to put your love into life, so to speak.The scarf, sweater, hat or gloves have a purpose and for each item time, effort and love were all put into them so that someone would enjoy them! When you knit something for someone and they will wear it, they will think of the one who knit it and hopefully remember that that someone loves them dearly!:) Thanks a bunch! I absolutely LOVE all my yarn I bought from you! GORGEOUS!:)
The colors in this give away are gorgeous!
I heard about this giveaway on tumblr. Yarn, to me, is potential – it’s amazing to think things that are so soft, comfy, useful, and beautiful can come from a piece of string!
Hi Chandi! I found this post because I’ve been frequenting your blog ever since I discovered your yarn store a moonth ago! 🙂 Personally, knitting means peace. I’ve been living with my parents for a while since I graduated college and have been saving up to move out, and you know how it is living with your parents as an adult. It’s a wonderful escape to just be able to sit down with a lit candle, a good movie, and my knitting.
I love your yarns and am always inspired by your productivity please pick me for your prize!
Thank you for your generosity each month offering giveaways! 🙂 This time, I saw it first on Pinterest.
This is such a lovely giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity! I receive emails from you, and that is where I heard about the giveaway this month 🙂
I saw this giveaway on pinterest. I do both knitting and crocheting. To say that knitting and crocheting keep me going is an understatement. After 3 very long and painful years, I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in both of my shoulders which keeps me from living a normal 23 year olds life. Instead of being able to go to work everyday, and enjoying an active lifestyle, I have to stay home in horrible pain on a daily basis. Yarn work is the only thing that I can do and love doing it. It keeps me sane, makes me happy, and allows me to enjoy something amidst all the bad that I’m going through. It is truly my saving grace.
I know about your giveaway from your blog, instagram, twitter, email. I have been knitting for 45 years and it relaxes me (most of the time), I love watching the gift develop and giving something I made specifically for that person. I have used a lot of different yarns over the years and nome of them compare to yours, they are the best, love every one (especially yak).
I subscribe by email, but I saw this while scrolling through Pinterest today!
To me, yarn, and knitting, and crochet means friendship. It hasn’t always been an easy journey, and at times it’s been painful, but in essence it’s friendship. And showing others what they mean to you. 🙂
Love these colours! Knitting is a little bit of therapy for me. I saw the contest on your blog.
Saw this on Facebook! Just beautiful!
I heard about this giveaway on facebook. Crochet is a great source of stress relief (unless it is actually causing the stress. Darn running out 90% of the way through a project!) for me. I also love that I can use my time to do something fun that is also productive.
Saw the giveaway on FB this morning. If I didn’t have crochet to de-stress, I don’t know what I would. The fact that something beautiful results is just a bonus. I always give away what I’ve made because I get the benefits while I’m making it.
I saw the giveaway pop up on my fb page this morning. Knitting is my relaxation; I can enjoy some lovely needles and yarn while taking care of my brood at home!
I am a new follower and found out about this giveaway on Facebook! Crocheting (and yarn!) is a way that my mom and I can connect since she is also a crocheter. She taught me how almost 4 years ago, and it’s become one of my favorite past-times. I’m a yarn lady through and through!
I saw the giveaway on FB and these are my favorite colors!!
I saw the giveaway post on Facebook. Crochet is my sanity, my entertainment, and my peace!
Heard about it on your facebook page, knitting and crocheting means to me, well it is a way to make me and others happy, me for a bit of destressing and the thrill of making something, and others by making things for them 🙂
I have been following your Facebook page for a few weeks now, after discovering your gorgeous yarn on Pinterest, I believe.
For me, crocheting is a way to relax, but I also feel accomplished when I finish a project and get compliments.
I hope one day to get my hands on some of your yarn, it’s incredible.
YOUR PHOTOS AND YOUR YARN COLORS ARE TURLY CONSISTENTLY AMAZING! EVERY ONE I SEE I WANT. YOUR GREAT INSPIRATION!
I saw the giveaway on Facebook with a direction to your blog site. Knitting is my great distraction. When I sit down to knit, I am in the moment…with no thoughts on anything else except my needles and yarn. I’ve been knitting since I was a little girl and I’m 66 now. Still find it relaxing, challenging, creative, and portable!!!
I love your yarns, your patterns, your business and your savvy. Now on to the giveaway. I found out about it the way I always do, I’m connected to you by FB, email and anyway I can because I love your product and make sure I don’t miss a thing. Even though now my purchases will be curtailed because we have to buy a new roof and I’ve found out they don’t come cheap. Eeek. Will be knitting out of my stash for “a while”.
I hear about most of your giveaways on FB or by email…
Yarn and crochet (still trying to learn to knit properly) are like a therapy to me. I try to occupy my time with something while my kids are at school and I’m all alone at home. In between all the housework, I try to go on FB, and the internet in general, and look for inspiration.
I drool over all your yarns – would love to own a few colorways…
P.S. – The pinterest link to pin the image isn’t working for me right now. 🙁
I heard about this through an e-mail and on FB.
I heard about the giveaway through facebook and pinterest. To me, knitting is a way to relax and make gifts for my family. My aunt is a big fan of shawls and my mom loves knitted headbands.
Seen your giveaway on FB. Knitting relaxes me like I’m on vacation. I have been knitting for 30+ years. I love your yarn colors! Your hand dyed yarns are unique & beautiful!
I found this give away through your Facebook page!
First saw this giveaway on Facebook, also get the email blasts! I love everything you make and post!
I follow you on FB and saw the giveaway on my timeline. I love these colors. My knitting and crocheting give me a way to create. Before I became too I’ll to go out to the art center I painted and drew. I preferred pencil and charcoal and love a blank canvas background with bright accents or vice versa. In my soul I want to give of myself to the people I love. Knitting and crocheting them something is a way to do thst. Usually they don’t want my paintings or drawings so this is a way to create that is acceptable to the receivers. It is so strange, in my family the only person I see use or wear what I make is my brother’s girlfriebd.
I heard about this give-away on Facebook. I’ve been a crocheter since I was 4, when my Nana taught me, and a self-taught knitter for over 25 years. Fibercrafting is my way of relaxing and focusing my mind.
Hi Chandi – I follow you on FB and love to see your yarnspirations for your colors. This past weekend I was at a knitting retreat sponsored by my LYS and had to share your yummy colors with the owners and my fellow attendees – the oohs and aahs were all over the room. Your colors are SO amazing and the textures of your yarns are just lovely. I’m in awe of what you do!
Knitting is what helps me wind down at the end of the day. I learned to knit when I was around 6 (so that’s more than 50 years ago now), and it allows me to feel creative and productive in a relaxing way. It can get a bit challenging with a year old kitten who thinks yarn and circular needles are the greatest toys ever, but we figure it out.
I have been following your page for a few years now. I crochet to relax and have a creative outlet. However, I have not been able to crochet as much as I would like. I enjoy compiling a wish list of yarn to work with when I finally have more time.
Came across this contest on Facebook
Hey!! Hope this is the right blog post ? saw this giveaway pop up in my newsfeed, just in the nick of time for winter projects. crocheting is my relaxing hobby that I can enjoy in the winter months when we are cooped up inside 🙂
I follow you on FB, pinterest, instagram, & twitter. Plus I purchase yarn yumminess from you a few times a month.
Knitting/crocheting is the calming influence in the storms of life. Its my zen place, along with exercise.
Saw this on Facebook and both of my email sites. I have loved knitting and crocheting since I was small. Now it’s my stress relief always.
I regularly follow your blog, so I just happened on the update. (But, I also see your FB & Instagram posts) Knitting is my Zen place. I enjoy the process, the product, and the sharing it provides.
I saw the post about the giveaway on Facebook this morning. Your yarn looks so beautiful, I am dreaming of it all the time and all the gorgeous things I could make. I’ve been crocheting for a couple years and plan on learning to knit soon. I love the process of creating with yarn, it’s very meditative to me. Giving my friends & family a gift made with love means a lot to me and to them.
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. I love your yarns! The colors are beautiful and vibrant. I’m like a kid in the candy store when I visit your site. 🙂
You have such lovely yarns. I placed my first order and absolutely love the rich colors and the super softness of each one.
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. I love your yarns! The colors are beautiful and vibrant. I’m like a kid in the candy store when I visit your site. 🙂 I’ve been knitting for 40+ years and it’s my therapy, my relaxation time, my “me” time.
Hi Chandi. I got to know about this give away on your fb page. I have been following your colorful adventures via fb and your newsletters. Simply love your colorways. I live in Saudi Arabia and am a homemaker. Crochet brings color to my otherwise dull life and helps me wind down whenever Im in need of me-time. Good yarn is pricry and hard to find here, and yarn like yours is just not available.
I wish i win this lot coz 1) I’ve never won anything via raffles…..2) I cant afford such luxurious stuff……3) ots my birthday today lol *batting my eyelashes*
Keep up the good work Chandi
I heard about your giveaway on Facebook. I love crocheting & knitting because I love to create beautiful things and making things my family can use.
I saw this month’s giveaway on Facebook today. I crochet, but my 13 year old daughter wants to knit. My mom, grandmother, great-grandmother and so on have all crocheted, so knitting is not something I can show her. We’ve watched your beginner knitter videos and they are so easy to follow. I love your yarn colors, they’re so beautiful.
Well, this month I saw the giveaway post on Facebook first! 🙂
I’ve always been…different. Always a little more sensitive, always a little more intuitive, always an old soul. I always have had a very unique style about me and never quite “fit” anywhere. When I was younger, this led to me constantly trying to mold to what everyone else wanted me to be because I never quite felt comfortable in my skin. I was a follower- in every sense of the word. I started drinking, smoking, doing drugs because that’s what everyone else was doing and if I wanted to “fit in”, I had to do that too. This led to a series of terrible decisions, deep regret, and depression. I was miserable. Fast forward through a move to another state, and meeting my knight in shining armor, and that knight sharing the gospel with me and marrying me. His mother reintroduced me to crochet (I had briefly learned from my aunt as a child) and as I learned more about Jesus and shed a lot of the sinful things that occupied my time, crocheting slowly filled all of those free minutes. Instead of getting drunk after a hard day, I picked up my crochet and beautiful things flowed from my fingers. God has removed all of my old sinful “coping mechanisms” and blessed me with a talent that I can share with so many people.
I’m not afraid to be me anymore. Finding this loving little crochet community has sparked confidence in me to do what I want to do and be blessed by it daily. Thank you for being part of that <3
GORGEOUS! I saw this on Facebook this morning.
This may be your most beautiful giveaway yet! I saw it on Facebook this morning….LOVE!
I saw this on my fb feed. I crochet, and do a little knitting. I learned as a teenager while recovering from knee surgery, and never really put it down. After my youngest passed away almost 6 years ago I picked it up with a new fervor. I knew I needed to be CONstructive instead of DEstructive, and crochet gave me that ability. Every item that I make I do in his memory and his honor…a way to help heal a little (I’ll never be completely healed), and a way to share a little memory of him with someone else.
OMG thoses are the colours I love the most. I’ve been a crocheting for a long time and like most, make things as gifts. Now I’m looking to make a clothing item for myself. I know I can as I’ve made baby items before. Just need to find the pattern (top shawl or sweater ) and have enough material to make it. This would be a dream.
Saw the post on FB and couldn’t resist because these colors are gorgeous and I love cables.
I learned about the giveaway on FB this time. I love all fibers and am a traditional rug hooker. I use some of your yarns in my rugs, but I also like to crochet scarves using your beautiful soft yarns. Keep up the great work and I hope there is sunshine in your day!
I heard about this through your blog (although I also subscribe by e-mail). Knitting means relaxation to me, and also warm socks and mittens. It’s been a great (mostly online) community, too.
I got Fibromyalgia a couple a years ago. So many things I had to quit. Had to sell my motorcycle and give up dancing. But then I found knitting and crochet. I could stay in bed and still be creative. And my brain got a challange. For me it was a lifesaver and prevented me from totally going nuts. 🙂

I learned about the giveaway on your facebook page this time. Such lovely prizes!
I clicked through from Facebook to enter. I knit to manage my anxiety, so knitting to me means peace of mind.

PS! Found this contest on Your facebook page.
I love your blog and yarns – just got my halloween surprise Raven – it’s beautiful! I saw this giveaway on FB. What yarn/knitting means to me? It’s my meditation, my excitement, my chance to create something beautiful and unique. Life without knitting would be a little drab. 🙂
I found out about this giveaway on facebook, but I subscribe to your newsletter and follow on facebook so I would have seen it eventually. Crocheting and knitting are my happy place! I love to make gifts and these are from the heart.
I saw it on Facebook this morning. I love the colors! My daughter calls my knitting “Project therapy”. It calms me and centers me. I love being able to take essentially a piece of string and turn it into something I can give to my loved ones. Hopefully they think of me each time they wear it, because I’m not just giving them a scarf or some socks- I’m giving them a piece of myself.
I saw this while reading through my morning Facebook feed, as I follow EFA. I love the colors, and I can only dream of getting some of this lovely yarn! I started crocheted just a few years ago, and it has quickly become a real life saver (no, really it has pulled me out of some deep depression, not just the hobby, but the wonderful people I have met through crochet!).Being unemployed and having health issues for over two years, I cannot afford any of the luxury yarns, but I can dream!
Knitting means so much to me. Knitting relaxes, energizes, and helps me focus. I love it and all the new friends I have made.
I found out about the giveaway through your Facebook post.
I only learned to knit this year. I started loom knitting with lions I received for Christmas 2014. I loved it and knew I had to learn. And now my middle son wants to learn. He is 8 years old. And I want to be able to teach him and share my love of knitting.
Browsing facebook and saw your giveaway. I have a painful condition (Trigeminal neuralgia) and when I knit and crochet it helps me manage the pain.
My previous post was supposed to be looms not lions. Gotta love auto correct lol.
I knit and crochet. However I’ll only knit fine yarns, the detail you can get is just amazing. I knit/crochet to relax and feel accomplished. ❤️
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. Yarn, Crochet and Knitting means a lot to me, it is very relaxing and enjoyable. I get excited when I am done with a project and see how the finished project came out. It feels good to make things from the heart and with my own hands. I love giving my projects away.
I heard about this giveaway on your Facebook page. I heard about you/your blog/your shop on your YouTube channel when I was searching for videos on spinning. I want to spin, but I can’t.
Right now I can only knit and my skills aren’t too great, yet. I like how relaxing it is and how I can give somebody I care about something that I made and spent a lot of time on.
I saw this contest on Facebook. WOW!!!! Totally made me drool !!!
To me knitting is a serious addiction, but in a good way LOL. Knitting is my Yoga!!!!
I saw this as a post on Facebook. Knitting and crocheting relaxes me, and makes me feel a connection to those who taught me these wonderful pastimes. loving your yarn!
I heard about the giveaway while browsing Pinterest. Learning to crochet has been therapeutic for me and has helped me through some difficult times. It also helps me feel connected to both of my late grandmothers.
Drool. Love the colours!
I saw the giveaway post on Facebook. These are beautiful!
Saw this on FB and had to enter because these are my favorite colors!
Saw the link to the giveaway on Facebook. I have been knitting since college and am in love with my skeins from the edgar Allen Poe collection.
I heard about your give away on Facebook. I love the tactile aspect of knitting–the textures of different yarns, and –I admit it–the smell. It is something I can do while I watch TV and still feel productive. It is also very relaxing.
Saw this on the FB page! I’ve never been really good at most crafts. I would play at a craft for awhile, then move on to something else. When I started knitting, I never looked back! I’m always looking for a new challenge, and whenever someone tells me something can’t be done with knitting, I look forward to proving them wrong. I’m now working my way up to garment design, one accessory at a time!
Pick meeeeeee! Oh, please, please, pretty please, let it be me!!!
I spend way too much on your yarn. I invent ways to use it. I how make T-shirts. Love to knit.
I heard about this month’s giveaway on Facebook and Instagram! I love your beautiful color ways and the inspiration photos 🙂
I saw this giveaway on thegiveawayroundup.com. I learned how to knit and crochet in the third grade. I have been a quilter for many years, but I began a love affair with yarn after a neighbor made a wonderful loom for me. I am excited to get back to exploring the beautiful things that can be made with this medium.
Saw this giveaway post on facebook. To me knitting/ crocheting is like painting, the yarn is your canvas you make anything it into anything and you can wear it. It wearable art!
I heard about this contest on facebook. Crocheting, to me, is a way to relax. It is therapy for my anxiety. It is a beautiful and unique expression of my creativity. And, most importantly, it is FUN!!! 🙂
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. I love knitting because it is my meditative escape, someplace where I can sit quietly and make something beautiful and real!
I heard on your Facebook page
Crocheting has gotten me through a domestic violence situation. It’s my calm place where I can relax and create something beautiful in an ugly world.
Thank you for the amazing giveaway
Love the yarns, love the giveaway! Thanks for the chances.
Saw this on Facebook.
These are all my favorite colors!
I knit when I need to get my mind off of the cares of this world and the things I can’t do anything about. It’s a great way to get myself grounded!
Oh My Goodness!!! These are so delicious and squishy looking!!! I love them! I get your newsletter and follow you on Facebook. This particular contest I saw on Facebook first.
I saw the yarn on Facebook. The colors are so beautiful. I love them.
Whoops had my last name spelled wrong, typo.
I follow you postings on Facebook….. Absolutely love the colours you come up with…. I am a crocheter but at the moment I’m knitting a huge scarf as a present for my sister in law…. Never to late to learn something new
I saw the giveaway on facebook. A few years ago, a surgery left me disabled (at 35, with 2 kids, and as the breadwinner), with severe double vision, and trigeminal neuralgia. Reading used to be my favorite past time, but due to the double vision and pain, I can only read for a few minutes. So, I had to find something else to pass the time. Crocheting (and I just started knitting) allow me to focus on something other than the pain. I find immense joy in creating things others love and cherish.
i saw this on facebook while scrolling. I love knitting and crochet. I learned crochet from my grandma and knitting from my old home ec teacher. Im currently knitting my soon to be baby girl a hat and sock set but would love to have a better yarn to use for it! The date of this drawing is her date ☺️ it would be amazing to win this on her birthday! Knitting is the only thing keeping me calm right now.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. I love knitting. It’s really satisfying seeing my son in garments I’ve made that are totally different from all the shop bought tops everyone else is wearing.
Such beautiful colors I am drooling over them! I love knitting and how it relaxes me and how I can give a one of a kind gift to people. Following you on FB so I see all of your new stuff which I love.
I saw your post on Facebook 🙂 this one is my favorite yet! I love all the colors!
Beautiful! I think this is one of my favorites. The colors are so bright makes you want to touch and feel and love on!
I follow you on facebook and subscribe to your e-mail blasts. I love to crochet because it relaxes me. I enjoy the process and the sense of accomplishment for every project completed. I don’t always have time every day to add a few stitches but my project bag is never far out of reach! I love, love, love this month’s colors!
Such yummy yarns, all my favourite colours! Just stunning
I saw the giveaway on Facebook.
I would love to win and show the ladies in my knitting/crochet meetup!
I heard but this on facebook. Knitting, crocheting, and yarn are therapy for me. They help me manage hard times, pain, anything. They make me feel human.
Saw the give-away on Facebook today. Have followed your blog for a couple of years and always enjoy your posts. I find both knitting & crochet relaxing & therapeutic It keeps me connected to family and friends all over. Thanks for sharing your God-given talents and wonderful yarns with us!
Saw the giveaway on Facebook. Love your yarn and these are definitely drool worthy. I learned to knit as a child but never got very proficient . When my mom was in hospice I took it up again to ease the stress and fill the hours of waiting and watching. Now I just can’t stop. A day without knitting is not happening. Its relaxing, fun and the items you make are practical and useful. A win win every time.
Delicious colours! Your facebook posts are always a smile added to my daily fibre needs 🙂
Saw this lovely giveaway on face book. My yarn and crafting are my therapy. I have severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ans the calming, repetitive actions in crochet calm me and help me function without needing to resort to medication.
I saw the giveaway notice this morning on Facebook. Your new colors, Sterling Silver and Tea with Roses are absolutely beautiful! I’ve just got to get through some of this stash yarn so I have room for them 🙂
i heard about the contest on facebook and knitting means fun to me
Wow…absolutely stunning yarn and colors!!! I started knitting/crocheting again after 20 years. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed something to keep me busy while going thru treatment. Ive been healed/cured with my one year anniversary being exactly today and I have to say my greatest joy since going thru the toughest time of my life is yarn, yarn and more yarn. 🙂 Being able to turn them into projects that bring smiles of joy and happiness to other people is just so fulfilling. The countless projects I have done in the past 2 years gives me great joy as well. I saw your post for the yarn giveaway on Facebook. 🙂
Saw the giveaway on Facebook. Knitting gives me something to do with my hands while I’m watching TV, on the bus, etc. Keeps the joints in my hands flexible as I get older. I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch in my 20s and 30s, but I just can’t see anything that small any more. Knitting is as much by touch as by sight so it still works for me.
Those colors are so beautiful! I’m really drawn to blues and purples this fall. I just learned how to knit (from your video!) and I’m making myself a scarf to use this winter. I find knitting to be so relaxing and zen. I can just focus on the same movement over and over. 🙂
My grandmother has always knitted and crocheted so learning how to do it was very important to me. I want to be able to make something for people that they will keep and even pass down to their children.
I found out about the giveaway on Instagram! Knitting is my way to wind down at the end of a tough day and bask in the delirium of color.
Saw your beautiful yarn on Facebook and in my favorite colorway(blues, purples). Just had to check out your website! While I would love to be the recipient of your gorgeous yarn in reading the above I feel others deserve it more. I am a grandma of 7 and enjoy the tranquility that knitting provides. Keep creating and I’ll keep admiring!
I saw the give away on Facebook, i follow your page and it was posted there. I crochet to relax, feel productive and its a connection to my mom. She tried to teach me when i was young but i had tension issues and i gave up. After she passed away a few years ago I began to teach myself on youtube.
i love your patterns, and would love to try your yarn!! I learned about your giveaway thru Facebook
I saw this on Facebook, beautiful colors.
Saw the giveaway on facebook. I enjoy crocheting things for my daughter and as gifts for others. always feels great to make things with your hands!
I love your yarn Chandi, I hope that someday I will actually win one of these give-a ways. Until then I will just have to settle for buying from time to time.
♥
I heard about your yarn giveaway on Facebook. I have purchased some of your yarns in the past. I absolutely LOVE your yarns, reading your blogs and seeing all the creative projects made w your beautiful yarn colorways.
I started knitting to teac h my son who wanted to learn. We had lots of time at doctor appointments and during his hospitalizations. He was diagnosed with Leukemia and had nerve damage from the chemo he was receiving. I thought knitting would be a great help to his fine motor skills.
I mostly taught myself how to knit so that I could teach him. I now take knitting classes once a week at my local yarn shop. To increase my skills.
When I have yarn in my hands I remember my sweet son, Nicholas, and smile. I lost him to the disease 8 yrs ago. He I am knitting, I remember the times I had my son and was learning to knit with him. Knitting brings back memories of precious time with my son.
I heard about this giveaway from your monthly newsletter first then followed by your various social media. Knitting & crocheting means to me “normal”, I know that sounds weird but let me explain. I have Fibromyalgia and the majority of my pain occurs in my hands and arms. Granted I have it all over but the intense pain is so high there that the rest seams almost invisible. When I knit & crochet though the intense pain seams to lower and therefor I feel normal. If I was financially blessed I would love to knit for work instead of being a secretary where I know I am making my pain increase. I love creating shawls the most since I wear them almost daily to keep my arms warm.
Knitting & crocheting started for.me when I was very young; my mother taught me & my sisters. She was, is still, very crafty & doing crafts with her was a large part of our childhood. My grandmother crocheted & many of our birthday or Christmas gifts from her were handmade, often little crocheted dolls & toys (before amigurumi was a thing). For me, it is a legacy, an endowment from the women who raised me.
I learned about your yarn giveaway on Facebook. I have purchased yarn from you before and II’ve the vibrant color palettes you create w high quality yarns.
I learned to knit basic stuff in order to teach my son, Nicholas, how to knit. He wanted to learn how when we were buying a birthday present for another young lady receiveing cancer treatment on the same hospital floor as my son.
Since he had nerve damage from the chemotherapy he was receiving, I thought it would be a great way to help him with his fine motor skills.
When I knit, I remember precious time with my son at the doctor’s appointments, during hospitalizations and at home on our comfy sofa.
Sadly, I lost him to the disease 8 years ago. Knitting gives me comfort and brings a smile as I think I would have never had thought to try this, had not my son wanted to learn himself so badly. Knitting is a connection I will always share withmy son.
Crochet means so much to me. I learned as a teen from my aunt and my Grandms, but then never used it, for many years. Fast forward about 20 years. A dear friend all the way in CA was diagnosed with very aggressive breast cancer. Beung in FL I felt soooo far away. I wanted to be there somehow. I picked up a crochet hook and some yarn and made my first hat and prayer shawl for her.
I now have ladies in a federal prison who make hats for me to distribute to cancer centers by the 1000s. I still make them, as well as shawls and blankets for cancer centers, Hospice, and local nursing homes. I have taught a girl scout troop, a group at work, and now a new group how to crochet.
I love being able to do for others. I have an autoimmune disease and my husband is a disabled vet. This allows us to setve others.
You and your husband do a magnificent job. I sit in amazement at all the colors and the pictures that
really show the colors so beautifully.
No one I know of has ever displayed their yarns as you.
Thanks for what you do makes it much easier to figure out what most people want.
I learned about this month’s giveaway on Facebook. Such gorgeous yarns! I love knitting and learned when my youngest child left for college and I was facing empty nest. It is relaxing for me and gives me a creative outlet to make things for friends and family.
Love the colorways and would love the book as I like cables
I seen this giveaway on Facebook. You have such beautiful yarn. I love knitting and crocheting, I love doing baby blankets to give to those who need them. Thank you for the opportunity to win this yarn, could make some very lovely items with it.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. I knit and crochet gifts for friends and family. It is someway to share my love and give people I love beautiful gifts.
Saw this on facebook. Crochet, along with my other crafts, is the only reason I’m probably still sane. Between being unhappy at my previous career, finishing a master’s for a new one in a year, and having trouble finding steady work in my new one, I need it to keep me sane. Plus I get something pretty out of it in the end.
Saw the giveaway on Facebook this time. and those are my favorite colors…I love them.
As usualy i find out about your giveaway on facebook.
Knitting and crochet is a calming therapy after an accounting job 🙂
And expressing my creative side is always good thing.
My favorite all time color is anything “turquoise”. What a lovely giveaway! Here’s wishing and hoping
I saw the giveaway on Facebook this time. I just started crocheting again after 30 years. I forgot how much I love yarn! And your yarns are so pretty! I love the creativity of figuring out new stitches and sometimes coming up with my own patterns for more simple things like bags.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. Crocheting helps to relax me and is my favorite pastime because I always seem to be stressed out over something.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. I am just learning to crochet and need some more yarn!
hope i win. it would be a change of luck, my dad died 3 3weeks ago.
I saw the giveaway on FB, and crocheting for me is peace and a way to unwind at the end of the day while still being productive.
Love these colors. And cables are my favorite thing to do! Fingers crossed!
I found out about the giveaway through those Google Now cards on my phone that show you updates on sites you visit regularly 🙂
Since I have gotten back into crochet with your YouTube videos, I have been having a blast learning new things! The cable book in the giveaway looks as awesome as the yarn! I saw the giveaway mentioned on Twitter.
What great colors – my mind is whirling with possibilities especially with Christmas coming soon! Your create such beautiful colors! Thank you 🙂
Love your giveaways and your yarn!! It’s the best!! I heard about it on Facebook.:)
I’m from New Smyrna Beach, FL and found out about this giveaway on Facebook. I’ve been a fan of Expression Fiber Arts for some time now and love the vibrant colors and wonderful texture of their beautiful yarns. I love knitting and crocheting with them, and in general, because it helps me to relax. I love the satisfaction I get from finishing a project and the feeling of pride that comes with a hand-made item.
Hi Chandi. I first saw your yarns on Pinterest and then fb. I love to knit and crochet. It was something my mom taught me when I was young. Now it is my way of keeping her close to me and sort of a tribute to her. It is my way of relaxing and I love to give to others especially when they know the item is handmade. These colours are stunning and I would love to work with them.
I check your blog every once in a while. And I love knitting because it’s something that makes me feel productive. When I get frustrated by other stuff going on, I pick up my needles and knit. I’ve also gotten into embroidery so it helps out a lot.
So GORGEOUS!!
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook.
For me knitting is my meditation it relaxes my mind and body and I end up with beautiful items too!
Beautiful yarn as always! I saw the giveaway notice on Facebook.
Crocheting connects me to my Grandma, who taught me to crochet when I was 6 or 7. It brings back wonderful memories of her lessons, and spending time with her ?
I saw this on Facebook.
I saw the give away on Facebook. Also keep up with Pinterest.
To me, knitting and crocheting mean time to relax. After a busy day at work, keeping up with children and animals, it’s my time. Time to reflect t on the day or week and still feel productive.
I make baby blankets, hats and mittens to donate to our local hospitals. Its a nice gift for all the new moms.
I discovered this giveaway on Pinterest this morning and thought I would give this a shot. I first learned how to crochet when I was a teenager, but never really stuck with it. Last year I decided that I wanted to crochet and learned it for the second time (thanks mom!). In the past year I have made a few blankets and a ton of hats and scarves. Crochet has given me a way to relax and has been very therapeutic for me. It is a hobby that I don’t see myself putting down anytime soon. I love learning new stitches and making things for my loved ones and friends.
Hi, I heard about your giveaway on your facebook page. what a fabulous treat for someone.
I find knitting my creative outlet. its like my escape if that makes sense. i think i love how you can create a new garmet or gift out of a single skein of yarn. and enjoying giving them to others when finished.
I heard of this give away on one of your youtube videos. I just started knitting recently and learned by watching some of your videos! Thanks for your help. I enjoy taking something in its basic form and turning it into something more elaborate!
I saw the yarn giveaway on Facebook. I love knitting for others. This started out as a nutty little hobby that I thought would not really go anywhere and then suddenly I have an Etsy page and it’s a source for me to be creative, to think, and to keep busy. I love knitting! And wish more people I knew did it.
I saw the giveaway on FB! Crochet is a new hobby I picked up. It helps me in connecting my mind and body, keeping both parts active as a whole.
I love to crochet blankets for my loved ones that they can snuggle to. Also I would love to learn how to do scarves and hats. Your colors are so brilliant. Just love them. I learned about the giveaway thru facebook
i love crocheting and I am learning to knit (thanks to your YouTube videos). I love making things it amazes me that I can take a piece of string and turn it into something beautiful and wearable. And I love the joy on people’s faces when I give them something I made.
i saw this giveaway on Facebook. I crochet. I tried to learn how to knit, but it’s still not going well. I revisit knitting every few months, but crocheting is my go to. This year I’ve decided to crochet gifts for my family for Christmas, as well as make homemade soaps and lotions. I love being able to sit with the family watching TV or going to the football games (I don’t like football so much) to watch my son in the band or riding in the car and passing time (we live out in the country and it takes an hour or more to get somewhere typically) crocheting the projects I have going on for family. I love the look on my daughters face when I made fingerless gloves for her in her school colors or the slouchy hat in her school colors, even though they weren’t perfect.
I found out about you via a friend. I followed her boyfriend hat pattern to you, to subscribe. 🙂 I taught myself crochet 2 years ago, and started knitting lessons less than 2 months ago. As much as I enjoyed my crochet projects, I’m loving knitting even more!
Crocheting means so many things to me: a way to express my creativity when I spend my day as a logical paralegal, a way to relax and calm me down after a stressful day, a way to make presents for my loved ones that are original and from the heart, and sometimes a way to “make” money at a rare craft show. A skein of yarn is like Lay’s potato chips: You can’t stop at just one! 😀
I saw the giveaway on facebook! I love creating new things with crochet and hope to be a fluent knitter one day!
Saw the giveaway on Facebook. I enjoy crocheting. The process of creating an item is fun and therapeutic. What I make does not usually matter as much as the process of making it. I love to give away what I make to others.
Teals definitely make us squeal!
I saw your giveaway on Facebook. Knitting is a time for me to focus, alleviate stress and anxiety. It is definitely a large part of my recovery from depression.
I saw this yarn giveaway post on Facebook a few minutes ago. The colors are so beautiful.
I received email about the giveaway. Crocheting and knitting both relax me, while allowing me to provide beautiful gifts for others, be it family, friends, or charity.
Just got two skeins for my birthday and they are so soft and pretty! Haven’t decided what to make with them yet, but I”m sure it will be sumptuous. 🙂
These are just gorgeous, like everything else you create!
Sorry, saw this on Facebook.
First saw it on Facebook. And my mom taught me to knit on my great grandmother’s needles. I didn’t pick it up again for a few years, but it has become my stress reliever and brain exercise for a few years now.
Facebook called my name and Yarn/knitting/crochet means LOVE!!
I saw the giveaway on your blog page. I love all types of crafts but knitting helps me relax
Love this yarn giveaway!! Can’t wait to win it!
You are completely sTEALing my heart away with these colors! I can’t possibly be happy unTEAL they are mine. Let’s make a TEAL, ok? You’ll come over with the yarn, we’ll have TEAL for two while we sit and knit and chat. Then I’ll call all my friends to help celebrate, and we’ll parTEAL like i’t 1999! Oh well.. I guess that isn’t going to happen, though why not PURPLExes me. BTW – all your yarn are pure luxury! I heard about the giveaway on my blogroll, and knit and crochet have brought me many wonderful friends over the years, and that social aspect is one of the most important parts of our wonderful crafts. KittenWhiplash on Rav.
Pick me! Pick me!
?
I saw your giveaway post on Instagram to remind me to join, I usually join these every month anyway 🙂 I knit, crochet and weave because life feels incomplete without it. I’m so happy I found these crafts to help me destress, and get to make some cute things in the process 😉
I love to crochet, but would really like to learn to knit, maybe one day!
Lately I’ve been working on baby stuff; booties, hats, sweaters, etc.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook! Your yarn is so pretty I just love love love the colors!
I heard about this giveaway by following this blog! The yarns are beautiful, the colors look amazing! Knitting is my favorite past time. I love the ability to create new things and learning new knitting techniques is super fun, I love expanding my knowledge of this craft.
I saw your giveaway on Instagram! Your yarns are absolutely gorgeous!!! Good luck to everyone!
Hi Chandi. Notification showed up in my email, like clockwork!
Yarn crafting, for me, is about love and sanity.
By turning yarn into items of beauty and warmth, I’m sending love to those I give them to. Something beautiful to brighten their day, something warm to protect them from the elements – both are made with love.
I have severe social anxiety and depression. Yarn crafts have made the difference between staying in bed crying all day, to doing something useful with my time!
I heard about this giveaway on facebook. I love to Crochet, I have tried to knit but I am just cacky handed at it. Crochet for me is very special. When I divorced and my best friend decided I needed to get out of bed and start living again, she told me to pick up the hook so I did. I cried and swore and wallowed through 356 crocheted flowers. I had every intention of making something out of them until my doctor said it was time to stop. The flowers had served their purpose. They had helped me get through one of the worse times of my life and it was time to let them go. So I did but I will never let go of the hook and my love of beautiful yarn. Like an old friend, it is always there, no judgement, no expectations, always ready to create beautiful things. And that’s what it means to me.
I saw on Instagram; I love to crochet beautiful things with beautiful yarn. The end results are just so satisfying, pretty, and more meaningful to me and others because the items were made by my own hands.
Saw your post on Facebook! I’m glad I did. Sooooo ‘Fancy Nancy’ this giveaway. Crochet is my thing. Love making projects that make people smile. Very therapeutic as well. 🙂
Love your yarn and all the fantastic colours. Would love to win this package and make someone in my family very happy.
I saw this giveaway on FaceBook. Knitting is a passion of mine. It’s my relaxation. I love giving my projects away as gifts and just recently decided to try my hand at an Etsy shop. This yarn is gorgeous!
I saw your post on Facebook and clicked in to win!
I have been knitting for just over 9 years, crocheting for over 40 years. I love creating things – mostly for others – be it hats, or mittens, or animals, or flowers, or shawls. It is relaxing and fun. It keeps my hands busy and my mind engaged. It has also expanded my horizons – learning new techniques, selecting from so many marvelous colors and fibers, and I have met the most amazing people along the way!
I saw this on my Facebook. I knit to relax, mostly. I am trying to make a business out of it, too. I am a nurse, but have problems with my feet and back that prevent me from standing for long periods…job hazard, I guess. Knitting is my new way of caring for others. I taught myself about 5 or 6 years ago when my daughter was expecting my first grandchild. I come from a long line of knitters, but no one could ever teach my more than a few stitches…I’m a leftie, and it was just awkward. So, I taught myself to Knit right handed. I’m working on my crochet skills now, but my daughter is a great Chichester!
Found the giveaway on Instagram. Knitting is my world! It calms me dow and is my way of decompressing at the end of a long day.
I have been knitting for years- it means a quiet time to indulge myself. Love your yarn, saw this on Facebook!
A knitting friend shared your giveaway! I was excited to see it, and here I am!
Crocheting is sanity for me I am a Police Dispatcher and I crochet in my down time at work. The sales I make allow me to get the extra things I couldn’t afford otherwise(cellos for two kids!). I do a lot of charity crocheting as well, I have a friend who’s son is getting chemo treatments and helped boost donations to his GoFundMe page by crocheting hats in team colors for people who donate.
Absolutely love the yarn!! Made a shawl with my first purchase “Cat’s Eye” and now just waiting on 7 skeins to be in my collection. Looking forward to adding more and a big thanks to Chandi!! Doing “special” items to help with the income 🙂
These giveaways are nothing but a little gift from heaven. To win some of you luxury yarns would be amazing. Yarns like yours are beyond my reach right now other than winning one of your very generous giveaways.
I’m having heart palpitations looking at that luscious yarn! I see these giveaways on Facebook and Pinterest. I’m a stay at home mom so knitting is my way to relax, escape, and not think about kid things.
I heard about this on Facebook. When I crochet, it relaxes me and makes me feel cozy inside. I learned when I was about 7 years old from my mom, grandma, and great-grandmother. Crocheting now makes me think of those happy family times. Sometimes I can still smell the warm smell of my great-grandma’s place! 🙂
Saw this on Facebook. I’ve just learned to knit and crochet. Your amazing YouTube tutorial on granny squares helped me crochet my first quilt! This year I’m planning to make all my Christmas gifts so these beautiful colours would not go to waste!
Hi Chandi!! You know I love your yarn because I can’t seem to stop ordering! I would love to win! Oh, I knit and crochet, but knitting is my favorite! I saw this on Facebook.
I found the giveaway on Facebook although I also get the newsletter. I can’t imagine a world without knitting and crocheting – I participate daily.
(p.s. I think I copied some text instead of the twitter link for that entry; although I did tweet 🙂
I saw the giveaway on facebook 🙂
Having 4 children knittinf has become my little bit of me time, my little bit of space. Everything I create with my needles I pour a little bit of me into, so when someone wears something of mine, they take a little piece of me with them and there’s some sort of magic in that.
Saw the giveaway on Pinterest. Knitting is a way to carry on a tradition in my family.
Found the giveaway on Instagram ? I love knitting, just learned this year. I love texture and color and what can be made from sticks and yarn.
I heard about the giveaway on instagram. Knitting to me means peace, creativity, and love. I get to create amazing things I’m proud of for me and my loved ones. It’s so peaceful and meditative to me. I can actually sit through an entire movie without getting bored or fidgety.
When I graduated college I entered (what I call) a depressive phase in my life. I felt like I was useless, stupid and I had not purpose. I couldn’t tell anyone because all they would say was “BUT YOU JUST GRADUATED COLLEGE!” and although I knew I was privileged because not everyone gets to go to college, I was having panic and anxiety attacks. Trying to help myself, I read a bunch of articles and books on depression and they all agreed on something; to have too much free time on your hands can be really dangerous because that’s when all the panicking starts. So I decided to start a hobby. I tried golf (I was terrible at it), photography (blurry pictures, anyone!?) and I tried cooking (who wants some delicious burnt food!?), and none of these made me feel any better.
One day, I stumbled upon Chandi’s Youtube video “How to Knit (even if you’re clueless!)” and after watching it, I had to run to the store and buy a bunch of supplies to try it. Tried it. Loved it. And now I am obsessed!
Although I still have some anxiety, and I am still trying to figure this whole “life” thing out I can now sit down and calm myself through knitting.
I was going through a tough time, and Chandi and her yarn helped me overcome it. Knitting helps me know I am not useless, and that is the greatest feeling in the world. For that, I will be forever grateful with you, Chandi!
Also, I was on Facebook when I found out about the giveaway.
Saw this on facebook. I crochet, never got the hang of knitting, baby sets and small animals/creatures to give as gifts. I find the patterns challenging and the finished product satisfying.
Would love to win!
I subscribe to everything so I am flooded with postings from Twitter, Instagram, your website, your newsletter, and Facebook each time you have a contest.
Knitting and crochet are the ways I relax. I have eczema and the slightest bit of stress can set it off. However, working with yarn calms me. It takes the edge off. And I’ve been told if I spend hours alone with it, I tend to be what my friends call yarn-drunk. I don’t believe them.
I saw your giveaway on Instagram.
I’ve been crocheting since I was 8 and knitting since I was 28. It’s my happy place.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. I have crocheted for many years but just learned to knit this year. I am retired and knitting keeps my hands busy while eatching TV. I love the colors of your yarn- so exquisite.
saw yarn giveaway on FB
I enjoy knitting, first class taken in March with our daughter — nice way to relax at the end of each day. also, nice to sit at the table with our daughter to chat and knit together
I heard about this giveaway on Instagram.
I love knitting because it makes me feel productive even when I’m sitting and not doing much at all.
I heard about this on your Instagram page. Beautiful yarns x
Saw your beautiful yarns on FB friends page.
I love crocheting . My sister is going to teach me to knit real soon. I found Expression Fiber Arts on Facebook. I love your site. Thank you so much
Gorgeous yarns. Saw the giveaway on Facebook. I love your yarns, the colors are so scrumptious. Also found them easy to work with, my hands only allow crochet now, bad ole joints, and the yarns are great on the hooks. Have an awesome day.
I saw this giveaway on Instagram. I have been crocheting for a long time but have always wanted to learn to knit. I have tried to learn but quit so many times because it frustrated me… until I found your youtube videos. They were so well done and easy to understand that I am currently working on my first knitting project! Big thank you for finally making my dream of being a knitter a reality!
I came a lookin cause I love your yarns! Can’t get enough!! This giveaway is right up my ally…colors, texture, and cables…oooolala!
Oh my. These colors just make me smile so bright! Love them! Saw the giveaway on your Facebook page :).
Forgot to add what it means to me to crochet. It was how I kept a piece of my mom with me after she passed in 2012. It is a joy and therapy as well.
I received your email newsletter and follow your blog.
I crochet, sew and Im a beginner knitter, and new spinner.
I finally have my dream Fiber Studio set up.
My favorite part is the yarn. Lots of it…including
your beautiful yarn.
Its my happy place where I create beautiful things.
It means more to me than I can say in words…..
I saw the giveaway on Facebook and by email. I usually crochet these days and find having something working in my hands very relaxing. Now that arthritis is making its presence felt I am hoping that keeping my fingers moving is therapeutic too.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook in my news feed since I follow you. My knitting and spinning is a way to relax, plus a way to make beautiful items filled with love.
I saw this giveaway on your blog, and I found you originally on YouTube while I was trying to find a good video to teach me how to crotchet, since I have been knitting for a about a year now I thought it would be fun to learn something different! I am a 19 year old college student and knitting has really become such a therapeutic activity that I do whenever I can find the time, I love the things I can create with my hands and share with friends and family!
The colors are so beautiful
Oh look at all the gorgeous yarn!! I heard about this give a way on Facebook. I love having yummy yarn pop up in my newsfeed. My grandma taught me to crochet when I was little, but I never really took it up until well after she passed away and a girlfriend of mine taught me while she was hospitalised during my first and her second pregnancy. It has become a source of great joy for me, and I love making things to give away (normally baby blankets or cardigans) One of these days I am going to learn to knit.
The blues and greys are exactly what I have been looking for! these yarns are so pretty.
I follow you on FB. I am determined to eventually get a skein or possibly a lot more of your yarn. I love it!!! it is the prettiest that I’ve seen anywhere.
Such gorgeous colors!!! Love, Love, Love!
I saw this contest on Facebook. I originally started knitting so I had something to do while I was watching football. I am also a passionate baker, but unfortunately I am not able to bake as much as I use to due to the chronic pain that I am in. I suffer from fibromyalgia, 2 herniated disks in my lower back -one is slightly bulging, and also terrible pain in my hip joints. Knitting has helped adding a new passion to my little life. It also helps me cope with stress, which I definitely need since recently found out that I have a bleeding ulcer in my stomach.
I saw the giveaway on facebook this time.
Crochet is a creative outlet for me. I tried knitting first, hated it, and didn’t come back to crochet for another ten years! All that time I had been trying different crafts trying to find one that suited me. Now I crochet all the time 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
I found this on Facebook and had to enter. My husband LOVES blue and the yarn would make a perfect gift for him to use and weave a scarf out of. The rest of the stuff, MINE! LOL!
Your colors are so gorgeous first of all! Yarn has become my addiction especially the beautiful hand dyed yarn. Knitting has become my passion and my creative outlet. I love making things for my family and friends. When I knit for myself it is usually freestyle with no pattern. But I use patterns for when I knit for family and friends. I learned to crochet first from a dear friend to my grandmother and I taught myself to knit and sometimes I combined the two. I am currently working on a pair of socks and a poncho for myself. And will start a shawl for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law and the Sockhead Hat for my daughter.
I learned of your contest on Facebook since I get notifications when you post some 😀
I heard of this contest from your page.
Crocheting is very important to me. I haven’t been crocheting long but I find that it’s therapeutic in so many ways. It helps me cope with my anxiety and depression. Concentrating on the stitches prevents me from ruminating and I create something beautiful in the process too. Also, learning new stitches and methods boosts the self-esteem too.
I wouldn’t know what I would do without crochet.
I saw this on Facebook! Knitting is everything; a way to share what I love with others, a way to relax, a way to feel creative… 🙂
Follow the facebook posts! Been away from knitting for some time but now back with a passion. It’s keeping me sane while the family benefits from the socks, scarves, hats etc. Would love to master crochet real soon…there are beautiful patterns for all crafts everywhere I look…just not enough time! Loving the stunning colours of the hand dyed yarns..they just get better all the time! Thankyou for your beautiful work Chandi!
I heard about food giveaway on Facebook. I learned crochet because of my arthritis has gotten worse and I can’t dance anymore so I crochet
always hoping for a chance to create with your wonderful yarn…been crocheting for 31 years- can’t believe it! Love it to keep my hands nimble and out of the cookie jar!
I saw the giveaway on Instagram and email. I love the fabulous colors you’ve got. Truly decadent! I crochet and make shawls for a prayer shawl ministry and make items as presents also. Crochet keeps me busy now that I have an empty nest.
Wow! More Eye Candy!
I saw the giveaway on Facebook, but I wait impatiently for it every month 🙂 Knitting is my therapy. It’s soothing and fulfilling to make projects (big and small). If I need quick gratification, I’ll put down the sweater I’m working on and do a quick outfit for my daughter’s doll or a toy for one of the other kids. That way we all stay happy.
My great aunt and great grandmother taught me to crochet as a small child. They are no longer with us, but every time I pick up my crochet hooks I get to think of them.
I follow you on Facebook, Instagram and get your emails. Crochet, and other crafts have been very therapeutic for me. My daughter, who is 31 now, has Down Syndrome with Autistic tendencies. She also had leukemia at age 3. I also took care of my mother-in-law who had dementia for 18 years. Crafting has been my escape. The repetition of crochet is very calming. My life is not easy, but I feel that God has given my creativity as a gift to use for others. I started a orayer shawl ministry at my small church, and we have given out over 200 shawls and stuffed animals, which have been sent world-wide!
I found about this giveaway via Facebook. Knitting is a break from all of the other busy (sometimes chaotic!) times in my life. With two kids, a PhD on the go, and a small private practice, it is hard to find the time to really take a break. Knitting lets me do that! The best part is that I can do a couple of rows and relax for just five minutes, or really take a long break and knit with my favourite TV show on. Knitting lets me zen out!
I found my way to this post through instagram.
I knit and crochet and crafting gives me a way to be productive after chronic back pain has taken so much from me. It gives me an outlet and let’s me create beautiful things
Saw the giveaway on your blog. I love LOVE LOVE your yarns. I have to find more projects to do. Here’s a toast to all the yarn hoarders in the world and a great thank you Chandi for the videos, the blogs and most of all, the yarn!
Saw it on Facebook!
Saw it on Facebook and I just love your yarns, but they are very expensive and I would love to touch them!
Hi Chandi! Oh my goodness! These are all of my colors! I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. I am a fiber fanatic! I love knitting. It keeps me sane! I’ve met so many wonderful people through knitting and fiber. The threads connect us all!!! Peace/Love, Stacy
Saw the giveaway on Pinterest. I love knitting and crocheting because it helps me relax. And it also helps me create gifts that are priceless
Hi Chandi!
This time I saw your giveaway on Pinterest!
As for what knitting and crocheting mean to me; a lot. I’m only 16, but I’ve been crocheting since I was 10 (self-taught – no one in my family knits) and a year later I picked up knitting.
Knitting and crocheting have been such a great outlet for me. I’ve never been interested in video games or any of that stuff that a teenager is typically interested in. I always felt like I had wasted that time for nothing, it’s just a score (plus I always stunk and would scream at every little monster XD).
Knitting and crocheting help me to show Christ’s love by giving. True, not everyone appreciates these gifts, but there are always a few who understand the love and thought that went into making that item for them.
It gives me an outlet to show my creativity. Whether it’s knitting, crocheting, sewing, or drawing. I love it all. I may eventually get into weaving XD.
It’s helped me out of depression. I still deal with it, but it’s not as bad. And all those works of love, tells a story in itself. They hold memories (both good and bad) and it helps me to relax, take a deep breath and push forward. And then to see that work of love be loved by another is a wonderful feeling.
These are just a few of the things saying what knitting and crocheting mean to me.
I pray that you are doing well and thank you for everything you do. 🙂
Heard about it on Facebook. Knitting is my way to relax, my creative outlet, and my way to focus. I’m in grad school which includes an internship & I work part time, but I still spend all my free time knitting away. I knit while I read textbooks and it helps me from getting distracted because I have very fidgety fingers. It helps me relax at night so I can fall asleep. It fulfills my need to create unique & thoughtful items for others & myself. Plus it’s fun! The colors, the textures, the warmth, the click of my wooden needles, just wonderful.
Love your yarns 🙂
Saw this on facebook. I follow on: facebook, youtube, & pintrest. (sorry I do not twitter, or instgram, Iam busy enough.)
Knitting, Crochet, stitchery, and sewing are my addiction and therapy all at the same time. I hope I live long enought to use all the yarn in my stash! Yarn, fabrics, and books – I find them nearly impossible to resist.
Your yarns are the hardest of all!
Thank you for doing what you do.
Saw it on Facebook! I love following your product, your color combinations are breath taking!
Saw this on facebook, pick me! Pick me!
I found out about this giveaway from YouTube. I have watched some of your videos and that led me to your website, where I found out about this giveaway. I am a knitter, and it was actually your video over knitting that taught me! I love knitting because it is relaxing and amazing!
Knitting is amazing, because it gives you the ability to create something great.
I saw your post on Instagram for this giveaway. I enjoy fiber arts because I can be creative with beautiful materials.
I think I saw it on Instagram but it might have been Facebook. I enjoy knitting because I like making something special and giving it to someone. I enjoy the challenge in different projects and the simple ones when watching tv. It is also a good way to keep my mind and hands busy 🙂
I read about the giveaway on your Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram sites. I used to knit when I was a kid with my Mother, Grandmother, and siblings and decided I miss knitting and want to do it again. I found your YouTube videos, starting watching, became inspired even more, and then started reading your blogs. I remember feeling it was fun to knit and see how quickly knit one purl two could turn into a beautiful creation. I recall being relaxed whether knitting alone or with family chatting about the day, whether in front of the TV, with music playing in the background, or out on the porch with yarn by my side. I made a Pinterest board with beginner videos (from you), patterns, and as I get more advanced some creations I aspire to make. Now that I read and watched your videos and what I need to do to get started I am heading tomorrow to purchase needles and yarn to begin knitting once again. An added bonus would be to win this giveaway of gorgeous blues, teals, and purple hues of yarn and that fabulous book. Thanks for the chance and I will continue to follow all your creative pages. You are very talented and a wonderful teacher.
I just love your colorways. I found this contest on Pinterest. Thank you for all of your positive words and sharing your love of yarn. I love to crochet and design my own patterns. And I love giving handmade gifts too 🙂
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. Knitting/crocheting for me means super special gifts for my friends and family. I’ve always thought that the best gifts you can give are your time and effort, and with fiber arts you get both of those plus a sweet item! It also means leaving my mark with people. I love making blankets and imagining my family having them for decades and maybe handing them off to the next generation. The colours look gorgeous! Fantastic giveaway!
I saw the giveaway on Facebook! I’m in Iowa and knitting/crochet/yarn is my zen, my stress relief. I adore your yarn!
I heard about this on facebook. I love to knit and to collect yarn. Lately I’ve been collecting a lot of yarn. I think I need to quit collecting and start making something.
Hi! I saw the giveaway on Facebook. I’m a SUPER NEW crocheter. Literally started like a month ago and have made 2 scarves and a hat so far. I’m hooked! (pardon the pun) hahahaha So much fun!
I saw the giveaway on Facebook for a couple months and thought that I would finally enter! I have been on and off knitting and crocheting for almost 10 years! Which is about half of my life. Currently buying yarn does not always fit into the budget, so that’s sad. Hence the entry! Your yarn looks amazing!
I don’t like sitting still without having something to do with my hands. And I have a math brain, so knitting and crochet clicks for me. So I enjoy figuring out complicated stitches.
Saw this on Facebook today>>>love the yarn-Love the colourways you have chosen to giveaway.
Would love to win and crochet a cowl & mitts (sure would stand out in a crowd) in this colour 🙂
My girlfriend just convinced me to buy some yarn. She’s a knitting Queen and I’ve never touched knitting needles before….I found a beginners video through pinterest that lead me to your page and then this giveaway. I REALLY loved the video and felt like I could actually become a knitter! <3 <3 <3
I heard about this wonderful giveaway on Facebook!
I have been crocheting since I was 9, and I just love to make things with my hands. I also adore soft yarn; I can’t get enough of it!
I saw the giveaway on your Facebook page.
I taught myself to knit about six years ago, partly as a challenge to learn something new, and partly because I wanted to have something I could DO with my hands in the evenings when my husband prefers to chill in front of the tv (if I read or I’m using a computer/tablet, he doesn’t feel like I’m “with” him, but if I’m doing something crafty, he does). Right after I taught myself to knit, many of the moms in our homeschool group that meets weekly also began knitting – it became the thing that helped us gel better as a group…when you’re knitting/crocheting all together, the conversation can ebb and flow without a bunch of awkward pauses like when you’re just sitting around while your kids play. I taught myself crochet last year (using your helpful videos, which were actually how I found you!) and it makes a great skill for both getting something done quickly and for resting the knitting muscles when they get overused.
To me, knitting is stress relief, social anxiety relief, and a nice way to feel like I’m accomplishing things (2-for-1: build relationship with husband HIS way and get useful things made). It is quickly becoming my top “me time” activity, as I can do it while I listen to an audiobook or a lecture, and learn while I create beautiful things.
oh gorgeous colors!! i found this blog post because i follow your blog on bloglovin, and i have purchased yarn from your online shop what a great giveaway! i sure hope i win!!
I saw this on pinterest! The colors are sooo beautiful, I just want to curl up on a couch, watch tv and crochet!
Found you on Facebook. The giveaway yarns are fabulous!
I heard about this giveaway from the EFA facebook page!
What Crochet and Knit mean to me are peace and the ability to make something with my hands. It’s wonderful to make things.
Oops! I missed saying that I knit to satisfy my creative juices. .for the enjoyment it gives me and for the neat things that result from my work.
Hey Chandi 🙂
Thanks for the awesome giveaway, loving the colours! I enter these every month, I follow you on Facebook and am on your newsletter list, so I always know what’s happening 🙂
I love to crochet and am just getting back to knitting. I even joined in with you KAL! One sock down, one to go 😉
Thank you for your hard work and your beautiful yarns!
I hear about this giveaway on pinterest. Knitting to me means relaxation, total zen. It’s one of the first things I started doing just for me, before I really learned to love myself. And it’s been with me through the thickest times.
I saw this on Facebook.
Knitting and crocheting is not only a creative outlet, but it is a way to shower my friends and family with love through the things I make for them. I have been knitting and crocheting for at least 50 years and am finding recently that it is a sublime meditation to sit and simply work the needles and yarn. Nothing else is needed. It is truly healing on all levels. And I love the yarns that I have bought from you!!! They are delicious!!!!
Hi! I saw the giveaway on Instagram. Crocheting and knitting is a greatest and most beautiful hobby which I can have, I suppose. But spinning is something special for me. I learned how to spin and I was dreaming to have a shop with beautiful handspun yarns, but I was studying at university and there was almost no time. So last year, I told myself that is time to jump off that train and I quit my studies. I wasn´t enjoying that and I miss creativity very much. My parents were really angry with that, and sad, they don´t think I can “make big money” with that. I had some part-time jobs, then I bought new spinning wheels (I had one 150 years old) and I started my own shop. The start was stressful, but as time went, I was attending some historical and manufacture events and markets, opened my shop also at FB, and people started to “know” about my shop. Everybody was so kind at markets, told me I have beautiful yarns and stuff. This, and my bf helped me so much – I was full of negativity from my family and surroundings.
Well, now I´m really bussy. I have a lot of work, a lof of comissions – not only in Czech, but also abroad. And I´m happy. So that´s my story 🙂
Saw on Facebook and knitting is a way to relax.
Hi Chandi,
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. For me, knitting and crocheting is a way to quiet my ever-busy mind and focus on one thing at a time for once! It also reminds me to take time for ME. 🙂
Hi Chandi, Learned about this giveaway through my knitting channel on Flipboard. I recently started knitting as part of a community service project, ” Uknite” sponsored by the Public Interest Committee of the Philadelphia Bar Association. Projects will be donated to Persons in need this winter.
I follow you on Instagram so I heard about it through that 🙂
I knit and crochet and it means to me: that I can make something for the people I love and it’s a handcrafted gift made with love by me. I also have learnt to knit from my Grandma and it makes me feel closer to her.
I saw your post on FB about the giveaway. Knitting is so simple yet so meaningful to me. My Gran taught me how as a weeeee girly, so everytime I pick up my needles (some of them hers!) I get all misty thinking about her and her infinite love for us. It’s also my creative outlet: I love making things for myself and others. It feeds a need in me to “create.” Knitting is also MY time and gives me a chance to distress and center my life again. I couldn’t imagine ever NOT knitting…
My cousin introduced me months ago. I love the inspiration for your colors, they are beautiful. I feel that hand made gifts mean so much more than what can be bought at a store. I love making my Christmas and Birthday gifts and seeing my nieces and nephews wear them with big smiles on their faces. Plus, I know that the gifts that survive the destructive time that is childhood will be treasured when they are older. I love the idea of them telling their kids, “My Aunt Michelle made this for me when I was your age”.
So excited to see this giveaway! The colors are just amazing…Fingers crossed. I’m in grad school and knitting keeps me sane – gotta have that creative outlet, even if it is for 15 minutes a day!
And, BTW, I got the notification via email
These colors are stunning!
Forgot to add — I saw the contest on facebook.
I k it these days to help with the stress of cancer treatments. It’s such a stress reliever!
I heard about it from your blog. Crocheting and knitting mean a problem escape for me.
I found your link on Pinterest. I am also a customer. I loved your Marino Sock blend which I knitted into a scarf for my sister. As a full time student funds are limited but when I can, I order and love Expressions quality and vibrant color selection.
I found out about the contest because I now follow your FB page … I just can’t stop looking at all your delicious colour ways! I learned to knit from my grandmother when I was very young, but I didn’t recognize the truly healing power of knitting until I was on stress leave from work last year. I’ve been knittin up a storm since then!! I’ve only made one piece for myself however, because I started knitting baby pieces to donate to my niece’s Midwife Practice. I love working with the more luxury yarns – it’s such a soothing experience compared to the less expensive yarns, but being a single mother of four, luxury yarns aren’t within my budget. Can’t wait for the day when I can order a skein from your website!!! You have an amazing eye for colour !!!
I saw your giveaway on a facebook post. I have been knitting since i was 5 years old (so for over 50 years now). From trying to work out how to knit clothes for my Sindy doll (similar to Barbie) when i was 5/6 to recently knitting a mohair jumper with a Tigers head on the back. (about 20 colours in all) Knitting is not just a hobby (or job for some people) it’s in your heart and NEVER leaves.
i have just come back to knitting and crochet after the University of Wyoming libraries acquired the wool lab library from the college of agriculture. Learning so much about the different breeds and yarns along with rice history of the science. This month’s colors are my favorites–purple such a powerful color!
Thank you for the opportunity. I love to crochet to relax, to share with family, friends, to meet new friends, for conversation piece, and to wear. ♡♡♡
hey! I heard about this giveaway in an email. I love yarn! Even before I knew how to make anything with it I loved it. lol! The different types of yarn and ah the colors, picturing how they would look blended together. I had to quit working outside the home to care for my dad. So I started crocheting, then learned how to knit from one of your videos. And the two ( crocheting and knitting) have helped me keep my sanity for the past two years. 🙂
What beautiful yarn! I am a beginning knitter, so far I have only attempted a few scarves, but I am dying to learn more! I dove in head first and got some Angora rabbits and am working on learning to spin my own also, I don’t do anything halfway lol. I’d love to get my hands on this gorgeous giveaway! thanks 🙂
I saw this givaway while following your blog (cute porch cat btw ;))
Crafting (all kinds of from glasworks, woodworks and especially knitting an crocheting) is an outlet for my creativity. It means a break from everyday chores and tasks. And beeing this, it keeps me sane at the worst times and gives me great joy any time.

I saw this picture and post on Facebook. I love yarn all the colors and combinations are so fun to see. Knitting to me is exploration. To see what and if I can make something that I see or imagine. Thanks for the fun!
Saw it on Facebook. Getting moved and I miss my crocheting and knitting!
Hi, Saw your post on Facebook. I always get excited when I see your new colors. I have been useing your yarns for a few years now and LOVE them. Your colors are so beautiful. I am always matching them to the personality of the person I am knitting a special something for.
Hi, your yarns are to die for. Swoon! I found out about this giveaway because I follow you on Instagram. I’m notanotherhat on Instagram and Etsy and knitting is really important to me. It started out as a hobby and has become a way of life. I am definitely a yarn addict. Lately I’ve been enjoying making fingerless mittens as well as my staple, hats. Tomorrow I’m doing some more hand dyeing with natural dyes. I had great success with red onion skins and turmeric. So I thought this time I would try red cabbage, blueberries and camellia flowers.

Heard about the giveaway on Instagram. I love yarn and all yarn deserves a great home…and it may as well be mine. 🙂
Hi! I saw this giveaway by viewing your Youtube channel. If I won all this yarn, my friend and I from Colorado would start working on this awesome cowl pattern.
I saw this giveaway via your website. I would use this yarn to teach myself several different and new unique stiches. I’m from Colorado.
I found this from a friend in Colorado. If I won this yarn, I would start making a blanket for my mom.
What a beautiful collection of yarn! I was directed here by my Flipboard knitting feed. Happy to have discovered it! Knitting has always been an amazing marvel of creating something with my hands, but more recently has become a way to manage depression and anxiety. Knitting really is good for you!!!
I saw your giveaway via Facebook. I taught myself to knit several years ago and love the calm it brings me. I received my first order of your yarn this week and can’t wait for my new circular needles to come in so I can start on your Champagne Cowl using the Tree Frost yarn.
I saw this on Pinterest and Facebook.
I craft to give to others. Bonus? I find peace when I craft, especially with knitting, if my hands didn’t hurt, I’d knit nonstop!
I heard about this via google search, but these yarns are stunning!
It’s my way to relax, create, and save money (sometimes!).
I heard about this giveaway on my phone’s Google Now. I’m just getting into knitting and crocheting, so it’s an exciting new hobby for me. It’s liberating to be able to take a pile of yarn and turn it into something beautiful and/or wearable! I especially love your yarn because it’s unique, and I looove anything personalized or one of a kind. 🙂
I heard about this giveaway on Chandi’s facebook.
.. knitting, crochet, and spinning mean everything. It’s how I stay sane!!
Saw it on facebook – I’ve just started knitting and crocheting. I’m hoping it becomes part of my life in a positive way 🙂
Hi I’m Jan and I live in Cumbria, UK. Right on the boarder of Scotland. I am a self confessed Yarn addict. I spin, knit and crochet, but knitting is my first love. It’s been my sanctuary since I was a young girl and I continue to find learning new techniques fascinating and satisfying. Your yarn and colour combinations inspire me to try out even more new patterns. Having ME means I get a lot more time to sit and knit. I only wish there was a way I could have every one of your creations – they are all so gorgeous!
I’ve been checking the blog for the giveaway. Knitting/crochet is a wonderful stress reliever for me and I love the sense of accomplishment when I’ve finished a project.
I saw the giveaway on my blog, where I link your blog. 🙂
Knitting/crocheting emphasizes a deep desire I have to be self sufficient, to make things from other things around me. There’s nothing more badass than making something beautiful with 2 sticks and some string.
I’m from southwest Wyoming. I saw the giveaway on Instagram. Knitting is a stress relief, an enjoyment, and a way to show love and compassion to others.
I saw the giveaway on your facebook feed. Where to begin with what knitting means to me: it is a way to hang on to my sanity, make waiting a lot more enjoyable, a way of showing friends and family I love them with something handmade and a means of meeting some special friends 🙂
Hello! I always check your blog every month for a new giveaway >.< so I find out about them from your blog.
I have recently rediscovered crocheting. The first time I tried crocheting I didn't have anyone to instruct me (nor did I have the internet) so I gave upon it. The second time I tried it, I had the marvel that is the internet. I started again because currently I have a lot of time on my hands and I wanted to explore making my own clothes but I didn't have the resources. Crocheting was the alternative. I had a bit of yarn and I borrowed a set of needles and I started learning from YouTube. That's actually how I discovered your channel. I learned the basic crochet stitches from you so thanks for that! I discovered that I actually loved it and soon I became obsessed.
Crocheting for me has become a way of expressing my God-given creativity. I delight in the work of my hands. I marvel at what I can create with some yarn and a needle (and good instructions). What I like about it is that stopping is the hardest part.
Anything else that I might have said is lost in my mind somewhere…so that's my story!
I’ve been an admirer of your beautiful yarns for some time! I came across your page on Facebook a few months ago, and I’m guilty of liking every single post that features your stunning work! I was so excited to come across the post featuring the giveaway in my newsfeed 🙂
I’m an avid knitter – I knit everyday! It’s both meditative for me, and it’s also reminiscent of the fun hobby that my dear Nana taught me when I was a child.
I subscribe to your blog… so thats how I heard about it. Crocheting is a way for me to relax and clear my head!
I heard about your giveaways from your YouTube videos!
Crocheting for me is a way to feel like I am close to my mom again. She passed away when I was 15 and loved everything to do with yarn and fabric! It also helps me relax after a long day of taking care of my 9 month old and 3 year old. My oldest loves to plat with my practice squares. She uses them as blankets for her dolls.
Thanks for this awesome giveaway! I’m currently on a yarn break at the moment trying to find my knitting mojo and I’m certain winning this would do the trick haha! I’ve been doing fibre craft on amd off since I was a kid! It really helped me after losing my mum early (she taught me) as it helped me reconnect with who I am as her daughter. 🙂 Have a great day!
Oh and I saw the giveaway on Facebook!
I came across your stunning yarn on fb. Your colours are stunning
I receive your email.s I love looking at your beautiful detail and color of your products.
I found this giveaway while hunting around on Google. I’ve only been knitting since June, but it has been a wonderful stress reliever and has helped me to grow closer to my cousin who has been knitting and crocheting for many years.
I heard about this giveaway because I was already poking around your website! I am in love with your yarns and can envision myself going broke buying them all up. I have been crocheting for a while but just taught myself how to knit in the last couple of months. What both of these crafts mean to me is the ability to put my heart and soul into a gift for someone else. I rarely make things for myself because it gives me so much joy to do it for others. Plus it’s a nice, cozy way to sit my booty on the couch and have an excuse to do so. 🙂 Thank you for this great and gorgeous opportunity!
I saw a tweet about the giveaway.
For me, knitting and crocheting are a way to feel productive while watching my sons play sports, and it brings me together with friends and strangers.
I saw it on Facebook but am also a subscriber
Pinterest – knitting keeps my from being idle
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. What knitting and crocheting means to me is sanity. I have two young babies under two and I don’t get a lot of sleep. Knitting rests my brain when it doesn’t get sleep and keeps me a much happier mama. Also, it means a lot to me to have a hobby, (I would like to turn into a job), be able to be fruitful in my talents and be productive, all while relaxing!!
These colors are so amazingly beautiful! As always, that is one super duper yarn giveaway!!!!
I get your fabulous newsletter in my email but I think I saw this giveaway on Instagram or Facebook, not sure.
I wanted to try hand dying some yarns, so I was looking on Pinterest for inspiration in color combinations, and stumbled upon your page when browsing for hand dyed yarns, and I think I pinned your entire page. The color combinations for your yarns are so stunning!! What an inspiration!
hoping that it is worldwide, good luck to all
this time I found the give away on FB my Mom was a master knitter – there was no pattern she wouldn’t tackle – but when I asked her to teach me how to knit, she just didn’t have the patience. Enter my wonderful Aunt Madge, who while she didn’t have my mothers’ skill, did have enough patience. I was knitting lace, making doll clothes and working dpn’s when I was 9. Discovered and taught myself crochet at 15 and never looked back – til about a year ago when I suddenly decided to knit again! I’m slowly working to the point where my knitting looks as good as my crochet. Yarn is my mantra, my tranquilizer, and my hope for a better tomorrow. When I’m in my “yarn zone” nothing can get me down for long.
I first saw the contest in your email and then I saw it on Facebook. I enjoy knitting because it keeps my hands busy and my mind occupied. As a bonus I get a beautiful project.
Knitting and crocheting is my personal path to sanity and tranquility. I could never go without it! Or reading. :0)
Oh, WOW! You picked my colors with this collection!
I found you on Facebook, and I”ve ordered from you before.
I heard about this one through Pinterest. 🙂 I love to crochet! It helps me unwind and be creative, it’s fun, and it can be a pretty good way to earn some cash. 😀
I look at your yarn ALL THE TIME…and I dream about what I would make. But since I cannot afford to splurge on yarn right now, I do dream every time I scroll through your website.
I found you on Youtube while browsing knitting videos, and I’m so glad I did! You’re so helpful, especially to someone at the intro level such as myself. I only have basic knitting skills, but I love all kinds of hands on designing and creating. All though life, I was expected to get straight A’s, work hard and do well in school above all. Handcrafting and the arts really helped my get through my relatively lonely only-child experience. At the end of the day when I was all burnt out, crafting provided stress-relief. I have recently launched a small business in which I can employ my crafting and it makes me so happy. Sewing, knitting, and digital art have been a welcome change of pace, if only for a short while.
Read about this giveaway by visiting your blog. Crocheting for me is a stress reliever and what I call my “ME” time. Trying to get into knitting, but I haven’t gotten the hang of being able to fix my mistakes without having to frog the whole project.
I heard about this giveaway through Pinterest. I love knitting. For me it is a very calming and rewarding hobby. A ball of yarn can do wonders =)
I found you on face book. I love to here the clicking of knitting needles. They soothe my soul.
I saw this on Facebook. Crocheting helps me relieve stress and makes me happy when I make something for someone else and thr joy they have from something handmade.
I saw the giveaway through Instagram
These colors are absolutely gorgeous!
I saw the get giveaway on Facebook. I have been crocheting for just about a year…I work about 50+ hours a week, so crocheting is my relaxing down time. I’ve really enjoyed learning and creating for my family and myself ☺
I get your emails so I’m always up to date on giveaways and new items. Yay! I knit to feel closer to my Mema who taught me how to knit. It also calms me after a stressful day. ?
crocheting is a way to relax and be creative; found giveaway thru google.
I heard about this giveaway when I visited your blog! I am slightly obsessed with crochet and love being able to make gifts for friends and family and also for myself 🙂 Picking out beautiful yarn and patterns and actually creating something and then giving it to someone brings me (and I hope the recipient) joy!
An Instagram friend from Pennsylvania tagged me. I have never met her, but we have swapped yarn parcels!! When I saw your website I was completely bowled over by your beautiful yarns and the unusual way in which they are photographed. I am a prolific knitter, and have been for many years, but your yarn ranks among the most beautiful I have ever seen!
My name is CeCe and I found out about this giveaway on Pinterest. I knit and crochet and they both have helped me through a lot of painfully silent, boring nights by myself and not to mention saved me during the winter when I needed a new hat and I had plenty of yarn from my late grandmother’s collection. I’d probably have pneumonia or have really bad cold by now if it weren’t for my love of knitting and crocheting.
I was searching hand dyed yarns on google and came across your blog. I am enamoured by the endless color combinations found in yarn. Love your yarns! I’m crazy about felting and am trying to deplete my stash by making felted bags as holiday gifts.
I’ve been following your how to knit videos on youtube! My mom taught me how to crochet when i was about 12 and her mom taught her when she was younger as well! I really enjoy relaxing with crochet, and now knitting too! Thanks for the videos! 🙂
I saw the new give away when I checked the blog. I love the process of turning fiber into yarn and yarn into something wonderful.
I’m subscribed to your newsletter. Knitting to me means expressing my creativity and also wearing unique items.
Comment below telling me how you heard about this yarn giveaway and what yarn/knitting/crocheting means to YOU.
I recently decided to teach myself how to knit (and probably how to crochet soon) and have been using your videos to learn how which is how I found out about your yarn giveaway. Your yarns are amazing and I am waiting until I’ve become better at knitting before I start buy good quality yarn (I tend to screw up still). Knitting has become a way for me to relax and enjoy creating something. I really enjoy it and can’t wait until I finish my first project.
I learned to knit from my grandmother when i was about 6 years old, she also taught me how to crochet, I learned to spin and weave years later. Fiber is my passion. I learned from your giveaway on your blog. I am still trying to put some money aside to splurge on your cashmere yarn.
I heard about the contest on your Facebook page, and I knit… knitting allows me to keep learning new things while also creating new things. 🙂
I found out about this giveaway from your blog which I read all the time. I love your yarn and beautiful colour ways. I’ve been knitting since I was a child and recently added crochet to the mix. I love the peace that comes with knitting. It’s like a form of meditation for me that completely relaxes me, and working with quality yarns just adds to the whole enjoyment.
I love crocheting and knitting for my friends and my family, I heard about this giveaway on your instagram account 🙂
Hi, Chandi! I was looking for easy kntting tutorials for beginners and I found this giveaway through your Youtube video; How to Knit a Headband. To me, kntting is a way to be creative and have that satifaction of making something with my bare hands. Even thought I’m new with it, I’m so excited to improve and do more kntting projects. Thank you for this giveaway!
I’ve been an admirer through Facebook.
I follow you on several social media sites. I did find out about this particular giveaway on your Twitter feed. Needlecrafts, crocheting, and knitting mean a lot to me. I learned to crochet at age 11 from my grandmother. It gives me a sense of completion and satisfaction knowing that when I make items for gifts, they come from my heart.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. Beautiful yarn, beautiful colours! Knitting is my zen, my way to decompress…if I have yarn in my hands, I know everything will be okay!
I’ve applied to the free yarn gift many times and still hope to be winning some day !
I wanna be a part of it…. FREE YARN FREE YARNNNNNN !!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Found this from Facebook.
I love seeing the new colourways on my newsfeed – you are an awesomely talented dyer.
Hi, I follow you on multiple social media. Your yarns are fantastically beautiful.
I saw it on a post posted on Facebook! Love your yarn!
Hi there! Ok Nicole I’m from northern PA currently stationed in MD with my hubby. I heard about this giveaway on your facebook page I just recently started following. Let me tell you your yarn is gorgeous! I’m 24 and my mom/grandmother both taught me to crochet at age 7. I put my hook down for years. Picked it back up in high school then put it down again and didn’t start again until maybe 2 years ago and since then I’ve been doing more and more intricate patterns. I self taught how to read written patterns and how to read diagrams. I pray I win! Never won anything before so this would be the best! Mama needs some new yarns to keep occupied while the hubs is deployed!
I saw the post shared on fb by my friend Jocelyn. I love knitting as it helps me relax whilst making amazing things for myself or friends. I can’t sit still doing nothing so this feels like a compromise as its productive TV time. I also love bright colours so I’m always drawn to gorgeous hand dyed yarns like yours.
I saw the giveaway in Facebook and in your newsletter. I love to work with fiber (crochet, knit, weave, spin). It is rewarding to create things from fuz and string!
I saw the contest on Instagram. I learned to knit when I was 9. I wanted to be like my cool Aunt so she took me and a friend to knitting classes at a local shop for a few weeks. I lost interest for many years, because I was a child. About four years ago my boyfriend (now husband) bought me a gift card to a local yarn store and went with me to pick out my first yarn and pattern in 15+ years. Since then I haven’t been able to stop and try to learn something new with every project. I’ve gotten several friends interested in knitting and they cherish the handmade gifts I make for them and their babies. We are trying to conceive now and MIGHT be pregnant (fingers crossed) and I cannot wait to be able to knit for my own children. I feel a sense of accomplishment every time I bind off those final stitches.
I saw your giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I love all of your yarns, so beautiful ?
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
Saw the link on FB! Yarn brings me joy! Making something for someone and bringing a smile to their face makes me happy!! No greater feeling than your little hugging her blanket and saying I love it!! Mama made this!! Plus it keeps me sane! ?
Hello.
My name is Sherri-Lynn and i found you through a friend on instagram.
I really enjoy all the beautiful yarn colours you create!
I’m a self-taught crocheter who needed an outlet after a really heard time in my life. I find it incredibly calming and it gives me feeling of satisfaction when i can work with my hands to create beautiful pieces of art for my friends snd family.

Hi! Learned about this giveaway through Instagram on which I have been drooling over your yarns for a week or so.
I am a fiberer since a couple of years, now I actually teach at the LYS and I am en fervent participator in MKAL’s which I love to do. Knitting is my sanctuary in my hectic life of a husband, 2 girls of 6 and 9 years old, a full time management job and teaching knitting. I love the art of creating things out of beautiful yarns. Since I am in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, shipping is very costly and I would still have to pay customs to get your yarn to me. I’m afraid I will have to continue to drool over the foto’s…..
I discovered this giveaway via Instagram on my feed!! I love to knit and make gifts for my family and friends to keep them cozy and warm!
I heard about this giveaway as I follow you on Instagram. I taught myself how to knot while I was in university and I haven’t been able to quit (even though I’ve procreated since then and my babes take up a lot of my time)! At first knitting was therapeutic. It gave my busy hands something to do, helped me focus and even put me to sleep. Then, I feel in love with the process and the art of it all. I took a spinning workshop, bought a drop spindle, and fibre. I bought books on how to dye my own wool. I even bought an angora bunny. The process of the fibre from animal to finished project intrigues me. The story of the process also intrigues me. The animal, the place – I sound so crazy! But I’m dead serious. I recently went on a trip to the Cotswolds in England and only found 1 wool shop that sold local wool. I took their businesscard home with me so that I could purchase more wool! I don’t have time now to go through the entire process (see above comment about children), but I have become quite discerning as to what fibre product I knit. the final piece becomes much more than a ‘knit with love’ gift. Often times, it becomes a timeless piece with a story that can be passed on to others.
I follow you mostly on instagram (I’m hardly ever on facebook at the moment) so that’s where I saw the giveaway info. I love your instagram feed for the pictures of the yarn along with an image that inspired it – they always look so good together.
Knitting (and sometimes crochet) are what help me to de-stress at the end of the day, without it I’d probably be a jittery ball of anxiety
Oh this would be so lovely. Being disabled all I can do is spend my time trying to create things. I love crocheting and the bonus is that it keeps me busy so I don’t have time to think or dwell on my situation. This is such a lovely giveaway. Thank you so much
I saw this giveaway on IG. Knitting is my solace – I have anxiety and it keeps my mind and hands busy. I also love making the pretties for family and friends. Having your yarn would help me do that!
I found the giveaway post on Facebook this time. Knitting has changed my life… I’ve learned patience and meditation skills, as well as how to make beautiful things!
Hi Chandi
I found this on Facebook this month, where I follow you as well as receive emails for your newsletter and even if I don’t purchase I love to watch for your delicious yarns and new patterns.
I learned to knit from my Grandma at age 8-9 years before my baby sister was born. I learned to crochet in Gr 9 from a friend; and I continue to learn new crafts all the time. It keeps me calm, and grounded and it gives me a sense of satisfaction when I complete a new baby gift with my hands and heart.
I found you from a podcaster who mentioned you (Diary of a Yarn Snob) and went to your website and fell in love with your colors. I have three sisters who knit and told them about you. We all love your colors and bases and have bought numerous skeins. Knitting means family time to me as my sisters and I get together and knit and spin three times a year. We live far away from each other and do skype sessions in between to show our FO’s. Thanks for your hard work. You always get the skeins to us within days of ordering.
I follow your Instagram account so I got to know about your giveaway on it. I knit and I started knitting about 5 months ago with the help of your videos. They helped a lot, thanks for them by the way. I started knitting to cope with young-mother depression and it helped. Plus, the feeling of pure joy when you complete a project is totally something else! And everyone around always has something nice to wear:)
O wow how gorious this yarn looks! Beautiful colors! Saw the email and Facebook message and had to sign up (again 😉 )
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. Knitting and crocheting mean a lot to me because they are a constant. My family has traveled almost incessantly over the past couple of years, and my yarn craft is the one thing that gives me a sense of consistency. I can be sure that late nights knitting by lamplight will happen…wherever I may be.
Saw this on FB. Knitting means warm, pretty wool socks.
I saw your post on Facebook. What gorgeous, drool worthy colors and yarns!! And the book is an inspiring extra to sweeten the gift. It would be so very wonderful to win!
Hi there! I heard about this through Pinterest and to me knitting and yarn mean the true splendor of color. Knitting is my paint and canvas of choice. It also quiets my busy mind. Thank you ❤️
Hi, I saw the giveaway on Facebook. I recently started knitting about a month ago. I actually started by watching your YouTube tutorials. Turns out I’m pretty good at it and have finished 3 projects already and have a few people lined up to buy things. While watching your videos I fell in love with the yarn you were using and was super excited to see that you sold it. I haven’t bought any so far, I was waiting till my skills got better so I could make something fancy since the yarn is so nice. Even if I don’t win, I’m definitely going to be buying a bunch of yarn from you guys.
Thanks!
I heard about it through Instagram! Knitting for me is my therapy. It got me trhough the toughest times of my life so it will bw with me forever, as will spinning, sewing and crochet. I just love creating!
Thank you so much for this giveaway!

I heard about the giveaway on Instagram. I love following Expression Arts. Your pictures are amazing. I am addicted to knitting and yarn! Knitting is my therapy, my fun and my way of expressing myself.
I heard about this giveaway from instagram. My mom taught me how to crochet when i was really little, I liked to just make really long chains and drag them around the house. I started knitting when I got to high school and now I’m learning as many new techniques as I can!
I’ve been knitting for over 30 years and though I have some nerve damage in my hand and can’t knit for long periods of time, it is still my go-to thing. It’s my solace in a crazy world. And with money being tight there’s nothing there for new yarns. I have to admire from afar. And admire I do. Thank you for giving me vicarious pleasure.
Beautiful colors, as always.
I love your yarn, i have made several baby blankets, hats, scarfs, and slippers. This months yarn giveaway colors are mine and my daughters favorite colors.
I saw this giveaway on instagram and also via email
Saw this on pintrest. Knitting keeps me sane ,let’s me be creative and I make gifts and clothing for myself. Win win win ?
I learned about this giveaway on Facebook, and knitting to me is a form of meditation (most of the time). It is also a way to make awesome gifts for all my friends and family. 🙂
I heard about this giveaway on pinterest and crocheting is important to me because my Grandmother taught me when I was 10 years old. it reminds me of her and on top of that I love being able to make beautiful things. I think crochet is relaxing and can be used as an expression of your personality and as a mom, it’s nice to do something that lasts longer than 5 minutes!
I first found you and your gorgeous yarn on Instagram, which is also where I first saw this giveaway. Your colors are almost signature, easily recognized. Photos brilliant. I picked up crochet again to help me deal with anxiety disorders. It is calming and focusing for me. I use it as therapy. I give most of my projects away, but occasionally make myself something pretty. It is a blessing to be able to use this as therapy and also make beautiful and useful things for friends and family. Your yarns are pretty inspirational, i must say. Oh the beautiful things i could make for friends…
I recently discovered you via your YouTube channel. I was searching for videos on learning to knit. I have been crocheting since I was 7 years old. Although I am now 40, there is still so much to discover. I love yarn! Every time I am in a craft store I find myself in the yarn section just looking at all the fab colors and indulging in the textures.( I can’t help it, even if I don’t buy any, I squeeze a few skeins.) I admire your passion and skill. I get intimidated when looking at patterns and so classify myself as a beginner. My recently obtained mantra is “nothing to it but to do it” so I’ve dusted off my hooks and pulled out my stash and away I hook!
Oh the things I could do! I’m already knitting and crocheting a ton of Christmas gifts. They’d be extra wonderful with this yarn.
And I heard about this give-away on both facebook and in my e-mail!
I heard about the giveaway on Instagram. I knit and crochet, and I find the process relaxing, and love the fact I have something handmade and useful (or sometimes just pretty) by the end.
Found you on Instagram and I’m in love with your blog. My grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet when I was seven and I’m so happy she did. It helps me relax and use my down time in a productive way. It also helps me stay close to her. I call her every weekend and tell her all about my projects and great new things I’ve stumbled upon, like this blog!
Love your giveaways! Maybe I will win it and I can use it for Christmas Presents and gifts for the local homeless charity! 🙂 Your yarn just looks so yummy!
I follow your Facebook page and get your newsletters. My grandma taught me to crochet when I was 11 and to love crafting of all kinds! I learned to knit a few years back, as well. When I crochet or create anything I think of her. <3
I heard about your giveaway via your Facebook page and your newsletter.
Crochet is my only yarny craft. My mom taught me the basics about 40 years ago. I crocheted for about two years and then put it down. I’d liked it okay, but it never really grabbed me that much. I didn’t pick it up again until January 2014. I’d moved from California to Michigan to live with my fiance after complications in Real Life had forced us to live apart for 5 years. Winter 2013/2014 was the year the polar vortex happened, and it was a record-breaking winter. Great timing for a wimpy-about-weather Californian to be living in Michigan, right? To me, snow was something you visited for a weekend and then went home. So by January I had cabin fever and was looking for something to occupy my time on snowy afternoons when it was too hard to get out of the house (and there were plenty afternoons like that in that winter). I decided I’d give crochet another shot. I ordered a set of hooks and some yarn online. They arrived on a rare sunny and fairly mild day when I could have gone out to get stuff done, but I sat down to try out crochet again. I remembered many of the most basic stitches, and looked up YouTube videos for anything I wasn’t clear on. I chose a fairly simple scarf pattern. And by the time I was a quarter of the way done, I as hooked (no pun intended) on crochet. The rhythm of it is soothing, and it satisfies the need I always feel to create. I’m an artist who is also a live-in caregiver, so I can’t always dive into a painting because I need something I can easily walk away from if I’m needed. Crochet gives me that. And if I can’t create something, somehow, for too long I actually get anxious and twitchy. It feeds a very deep need to paint or crochet.
I found your beginning knitting video on YouTube. I’ve been crocheting about a year. I then started following you in instagram. I decided knitting is not for me! I love casting on, but it gets hard once you bring a second needle into play! Crocheting relaxes me, and I love making things my family can use.
I follow you on Facebook and that is how I found the giveaway. I knit, crochet, a little weaving and a little felting now and then. Being creative is like oxygen to me, and I love the soothing repetition of knitting and the softness of yarn…. soothing and beautiful.
I heard about this on facebook. I am actually entering to win for my best friend, lover of yarn. She make tons of knit and crochet items for my family, and I would love to be able to gift her some awesome yarn as a thank you.
I saw your ad this morning on fb. The colors drew my attention and decided to enter your contest and sign up for your emails. I have knit and crocheted for about 50 yrs. At present I am trying for the first-time to knit a pr. of socks. I always heard it was very difficult but am almost done with my first sock and found it not difficult at all. Now to get the 2nd one the same size as the first. Wish me luck. Perhaps my 2nd pair will be made with Expression Fiber Arts yarn.
I have a chronic illness, and knitting helps me with the pain management. I get to create beautiful, handcrafted gifts for my family and friends, and I can ‘ignore’ my pain while I knit. Win/win!
I have followed you for some time now… Your yarns are stunningly gorgeous! I knit and crochet, with occasional forays into spinning. Thank you for your amazing eye candy! I see it often on Facebook and Pinterest…
I saw the contest in my email and on Facebook. Thanks for a chance to win!
I heard about your website through your instagram account which I recently started following. My mom taught me to crochet when I was about 8, but I never made much more than simple blankets until five years ago when I got interested in amigurumi. Now I crochet almost every night once my children have gone to bed. Now I love to make garments and accessories, and yarn is my favorite gift to buy myself!
I actually saw this on Instagram! I first learned to knit @ 4 or 5, I knit a blanket (more like a washcloth) for my doll. I didn’t keep up with it unfortunately. I had my Ma teach me again about 13 years ago to knit a blanket (& scarf, though it was then I realized animals shouldn’t wear clothes {my opinion}) for my 1st kitten (rescued off the streets of Rensselaer, NY) for Xmas. Again, sadly I did not keep up with it. Then in 2008, some months after I had been liberated from my miserable corporate cubicle job of 10 years, I decided that I wanted to give some winter gifts to some special people in my life & wasn’t sure how to go about that with very little $. My Ma knits lots of prayer shawls & ruffle scarves, I decided I would have her teach me 1 last time to knit…the rest is as they say, Herstory! I haven’t stopped this time! Whilst I’m not the fastest knitter, nor the most advanced, I find knitting SO meditative & relaxing (unless I’ve screwed up majorly & am frogging (; ) I love sharing my enthusiasm for knitting, I even started a S&B (called Bitch Craft) @ my local library & have met some amazing people along the way!
I find your yarns gorgeous & one day hope to be able to purchase your wonderfulness! <3 Thank you for sharing your love & talent with us all!
I heard about you through Facebook. I crochet, both of my grandmother’s taught me some. One now lives over three thousand miles away, and my other grandma died suddenly last October from a series of severe strokes. It’s my last connection to them, and a common ground where I can talk to my remaining grandma about patterns, yarn, and new stitches I find and show her.
I follow you on facebook. I love all your fabulous yarns. These in particular in all my favourite shades. I have knitted for years as a hobby but have turned it into part of my business (i also make jewellery and other crafts) I have more recently learned to crochet with the help of a couple of friends and enjoy trawling through yarn shops and online (mostly online as I live on a remote scottish island) but there’s nothing better than seeing the yarn in the flesh, you really need to feel it in your hands! I would love to win some of your yarn and use it in some of my handwoven scarves or knitted shawls. Keep up the good work 🙂
I crochet for happiness for myself and people who need some love in their life. I make a lot of shawls , hat and afghan to donate or gift.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook first.
I am a knitter although I occasionally dabble with crochet.
I work full time in a very demanding job and knitting is my relaxation at the end of the day. I love to make gifts for others and even sometimes something just for me!
HI Chandi, I love your giveaways and look forward to your updates. I’m subscribed to your newsletter and also follow you on IG, Pinterest and YouTube. Greetings from Texas!
I found you and this contest on facebook. Crochet is my happy place and yarn is the vehicle that I use to travel there. 😀
Hey Chandi!
Thanks again for another chance at your yarn giveaways. Saw this give away on Facebook, where I normally see them! I’m from Nowra, NSW, Australia, and we’re coming into summer here so I’m hibernating with my aircon till winter comes around!
I was referred by a Facebook friend. Knitting is my joy and relaxation, and I have my own business selling knitting supplies. I love to make things with my hands, it challenges my brain, and it provides gifts for loved ones.
By following you on IG I saw this amazing giveaway 🙂 I knit because it makes me feel that my late grandma, who taught me to knit so long ago, is close to me when I do. <3
Love your delicious yarn. Can’t wait to buy more. I saw this giveaway on Facebook but I’m subscribed to everything and love your instagram.
I would love to win this yarn. I have bought some of your yarns and they are awesome I love them. I particularly like this color scheme, it is gorgeous!!!!.
hi! I heard about this giveaway on Pinterest. Fiber means joy relaxation happiness and peace.
Hi Chandi, I discovered you on Face book and regularly drool over your beautiful yarns. Crochet is what I do. I do it for family and friends and then me. I can’t sit still without something in my hands. I love to make things, craft or baking, candy making. i love the fact that I can take the crochet with me.
Hope you and yours are all well,
Evelyn
I have been following this for about 6 months now and the colors are beautiful, wish I could have one of each color, but I saw the giveaway on facebook. I also follow you on pinterest. Taught my daughter to knit , she is 17 and now she is attempting her firs animal to knit, we belong to a knitting group at our library.
Sorry meant to spell first.
My friend Amanda told me about the contest. For me, knitting gives me something productive to do when I’m waiting or when I’m alone, but is also one of my favorite social activities whether it is our weekly Friday get together or a monthly library program. All that and I get to make beautiful things too!
I heard about the give away on pintrest. And my fiber crafts mean to me is my zone out/ give my brain a break
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. Knitting means so much to me–it’s something I always return to as a way to relax.
I found the October /November giveaway while scrolling through Pinterest. My great aunt taught me how to crochet when I was 8 years old after my great grandmother’s funeral, and I kept up with it for a little while, but lost interest (as children do). Then about 4 years ago I met a friend who wrote crochet patterns for a living and she re-taught me to crochet and how to read patterns. I have since have learned how to do basic knitting. Crocheting and knitting have both given me such a greater appreciation for the handmade things I received growing up, and has also given me a connection to my great grandmothers and grandmother and the crocheting/knitting that they used to do.
Came to your website to drool over the yarn and found the giveaway in your blog. Knitting has become my Zen to relax and stop over thinking in my life.
I have you on my Facebook account, love your work, the yarns are so beautiful. Would love to work with them. I am an avid crocheter. I have lots of patterns, and plan on trying out everyone of them, lol !
I saw this on Facebook? I’ve always crocheted, then my youngest daughter taught me how to knit, and I’m LOVING it!!! I find your blog to be VERY inspiring?
I found out about this giveaway via Instagram. I love all the shades in this giveaway!! Super hoping to give this batch a new home.
I’ve been knitting since Christmas Eve of 2009 and it has helped me get through so much from Dealing with depression to sitting through long volunteer meetings/traveling. To be able to play with yarn, tools, and patterns has helped me focus and become calm just when I need it. I always have a project near by because you never know when you’ll get that pocket of time with nothing to do. My husband calls me a knitting nerd, but I enjoy his love of comics and sci fi with him, so we’re quite balanced. ^_^
Hi! I heard about this giveaway from one of your youtube videos! I have taught myself just recently how to knit from watching videos on youtube. Your videos are some of the best out there!
Knitting means being able to make any moment enjoyable. Instead of being frustrated when sitting at the DMV or waiting for a late friend, knitting brings a calm and comfort to my life.
knitting is what gets me through life – I knit while my husband had surgery, chemotherapy, waiting for the doctor and it kept me sane! It relaxes me after a stressful day and gives me joy to see family and friends get my gifts. I can’t imagine life without creating with yarn.
Would love to win this! All favorite colors!
I found this on your blog site! Crochetin gis my quiet time for myself on the weekends! i love watching my family enjoy the items I create.
My friend told me about the giveaway
Saw on Pinterest. I have only begun to knit, but I thoroughly enjoy it. I would love to one day be able to knit well enough to have my creations support me and I could quit the hassle of a basic desk job. But until then, I just love playing with the yarn! 😀
Just found you today thru youtube.I am just beginning to crochet. Love your video series
I found this giveaway on your blog first time coming here even though u follow you on histogram. Crocheting is a way to have a creative outlet and then have something to give someone as a present.
Hi! Pinterest reminded me to enter this time. I’ve been crocheting since I was about 7 or 8, and finally learned to knit about a year ago thanks to your videos! I also do tatting and point lace. I don’t think it is possible for me to sit still without my hands being busy working on one project or another 😀 They are my forms of meditation as well as an outlet for my creativity!
Honestly, I just started knitting a few weeks ago. I really needed something to occupy my mind, as the past few months have been very stressful for me. So, even thought it’s a bit frustrating at times because I’m learning, it helps me focus on something besides my stress, and it makes me feel accomplished:) I found out about your blog on your YouTube channel – I subscribed because you are pretty much my knitting guru right now haha. Thanks for all you do!! ❤️
I saw this on Pinterest. I have been crocheting for a short time. I think the yarns would make gorgeous scarves!
Your yarn is exquisite and is a luxury when I get to purchase it. I crochet and I appreciate so much that you have patterns for crocheters as well. My Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 6. This hobby has helped me through some very rough times, and at other times it has helped give us that little extra money to put food on the table. I thank you for your honesty in your posts. I thank you for inspiration, and for the beauty you create. You are so talented!!
I saw the instagram post first but am about to go check my emails and am sure to see it there too ☺
My Nanna taught me how to knit rows and crochet Chains when I was 7 but died not long after and it was a forgotten art. Then about 3 yrs ago my 4th grand child was born and I wanted to make something unique for him.
So I picked up my crochet hook and have been part of a crochet satellite reef and a community yarn bombing for a festival and love making baby sets for friends & expectant Mums or cheering up someone the other day by taking out the crochet flower I had pinned in my hair and giving it to her (turns out this lady was down on her luck and in a bad place mentally) and changing her day.
Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway!
Heard about the giveaway on Instagram this time. Just re-taught myself and learned to crochet in the past few months to help myself get back in the habit of making things.
I found the giveaway on your blog. I learnt to crochet last year after I became ill as I needed a creative outlet I could do while sitting comfortably. It’s meant I could break up the long hours of being alone and too ill to do anything but stare at a wall!
I heard about your giveaways on your youtube page. I watched them to learn how to knit. I started knitting as a hobby to relieve stress and came to really enjoy it. I am now knitting things for family and friends to save up money for in vitro. It has made the money saving process a lot less stressful and so much more fun. I like that knitting has given me a way to save the money instead having to ask a family member to help out with the expenses.
I learned about when watching one of your utube videos. I just got into knitting about a year ago and crocheting only about a month ago. I made two little hats for my baby cousin and I am making a scarf right now. Knitting and crocheting is relaxing and fun for me and I absolutely love it.
Thanks for being so generous!
I subscribe to your newsletter but actually first saw this months giveaway first on your Pinterest page. Your work is so beautiful and inspiring. I learned to both knit and crochet last year when my husband got diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It has helped me enormously cope with the stress we faced through treatment and the stress we face in just everyday life. My husband is now currently in remission (thankfully). In addition to my stress relief I have a new found passion with yarn and not a day passes without doing something yarn related.
I follow you on facebook, instagram, youtube. ect. and knitting is something I can do to unwind. I love sitting down with my dog and just cuddling and knitting with him for hours
I heard about your blog from your YouTube tutorials and from your blog I heard about this giveaway.
I am a knitter and believe in adult learning! So I’ve been trying to hone my skills and develop knew ones. Your tutorials have been so so helpful in their basic explanations and clear visuals. Knitting, to me, is a way of passing something meaningful onto other people and even future generations. I grew up sleeping on quilts and afghans made by my great grandmother and wore clothes my mother carefully knit for me. Knitting is a rewarding way for me to unwind after a stressful day and also give back to those I love the most!
I saw an instagram post. I didn’t get an email this month that I remember. I’ve been crocheting for about 2 years and I think it’s time to learn to knit! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have grown up watching my Mother and Grand Mother Crochet for as long as I can remember, it is a stress release and I crochet gifts for my Mother-In-Law, as well as for my sister-in-law. And some of the ladies of our Church, here in Houston, where I live and I have made some afghans for my son who lives in my mothers house, because she lives with my Hubby and I, she is blind in one eye but on her GOOD DAYS, she can even out crochet me. So I would love to win this yarn give away with all my HEART. Thank-You for your kindness, Cindy Garlotte and Thank-You for an awesome give away.
I saw the giveaway on my Pinterest. Knitting means so many different things to me. It’s a huge stress-relief. It allows me to be creative. Most of all, I can make beautiful things for the people I care about (and myself too!)
I found your website by a Ravelry link. I discovered your yarn give-away by following your own Pinterest link. Your yarns are stunning! I hope I win 😀
A friend shared this assume giveaway to a crochet group we are both in.
Thank you for the chance.
I found out about this giveaway on the blog. Crochet is my favorite creative outlet and a great stress reliever.
0MG! I’m absolutely in love with these yarn colors. I first learned of you on Facebook and immediately signed up to get updates. What does knitting/crochet mean to me? The world!!! Because of recent health issues I haven’t been able to do my beloved bead embroidery much lately. However, I CAN knit while half laying down. It’s very restful and relaxing which helps me heal faster.
As a still fairly new knitter/crocheter, I am still learning about all the beautiful yarn out there. Luckily, I saw this post on your Facebook page. I love the look of your yarns, so thank you for letting me enter.
Knitting and crocheting are my best ways to relax.
Very nice soothing colors.
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook! I’ve been crocheting since I was five and cannot imagine life without it. Its my form of relaxation and therapy and I’m in my happy place when I crochet. I recently started knitting and am obsessed with it. I think about yarn, knitting and crocheting all the time everyday. Its my passion!!
I saw it on FB. Yarn is my therapy.
I found out about this website via Facebook. I am into crochet but I am a novice who is guilty of fearing challenges. So I am totally going to hit up a friend for a social play with yarn date. Hopefully to be pluralized if my social awkwardness doesn’t get me branded a pariah. I have already accepted the title of weirdo with all the grace I could muster. Ysy crochet! It is one of many things I can turn to instead of a cigarette too, so I literally can say it’s healthy for me to crochet. 🙂
found your giveaway on Facebook, I’m a new fan to your facebook page , I’m a beginner crocheter making goods for Cancer patients ( my daughter-in-law has terminal stage 4) and as well as for a way to earn extra money for my household.
I heard about this from an email from you. Love knitting and just getting back at it.
I saw you’d posted it since I get notifications from your fb page. Crochet to me is creativity that I’ve always been a part of, and more importantly it’s a glorious therapy to help focus away from my chronic pain diseases.
I’m Susan from Indiana and I was told about you by one of my lady friends in my local Yarn Arts Group (YAG). I’m a newbie at both crochet and knitting but it’s nearing a year! I first tried to teach myself to crochet as a kid. My guess is I was about 10 years old and it was during the long boring, extremely hot Tennessee summer of 1980 while I was growing up. Any excuse to stay inside the house in the cool AC was a good idea to me back then. There were five kids in my family so my parents could not afford to fund all of our hobbies and interests. But my mother Judith had a gaudy yellow skein of yarn from a church VBS or Sunday school project and a big red Boye hook probably from a great aunt who had died. Recently Mom found my old scraps of practice chains and a few odd little crooked ovals I made into Barbie doll afghans. Unfortunately, I gave up trying to crochet after that summer, partly because nobody else around that I knew could teach me, and my parents would not buy me more yarn when that ghastly yellow skein ran out:-( The yarns that you make are SO beautiful! And they must feel so luxurious compared to that scratchy 1980s yarn I first put my hands on. My hope is I can win some of your pretty and inspiring yarns to keep inspired beyond this newbie stage. My heart drops any Tuesday night I get a conflict and must miss meeting up with the YAG ladies. Thank goodness for today’s advantage of email, texts and social media posts by the ladies. I’m so glad to have them all in my life today. They take me back to the joy of toiling with yarn I had discovered back when I was 10. But now, if my budget (and generally supportive husband) will allow, I hope to never run short of yarn again!
Facebook
Because your posts are the first I see due to the new favorite posts thing!
Love the colors
I found this on Facebook while looking for crochet yarn. I find crocheting is both relaxing and creative. I love it!
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. I am a newbie and I began by crocheting head bands/ear warmers, now I am up to socks! I lost my job 3 months ago and have been ill and just had surgery, so I needed a way to fill my time. It has been very relaxing and productive. 🙂

I heard about the giveaway from my hookers (lmao) group .. thanks so much for the chance
My aunt taught me how to crochet a few decades ago. I’ve made several gifts for people and hats and scarves for the homeless. Someday I might just make something for myself!! 🙂 My passion is fiber and colors. I just can’t seem to get enough. Thank you for providing wonderful yarns. They are absolutely gorgeous!!!
I saw the giveaway on facebook. I’m a crocheter, trying to learn to knit. Crocheting is my time to chill out and relax while making things for people that mean the most to me. I didn’t have anyone in my family that could knit or crochet things for me growing up, so I wanted to learn so I could make things for my kids. And now that my daughter is getting older, she has asked me to teach her.
I follow your blog, I first saw your giveaways on pinterest. I love yarn, and to me it means making gifts for family and friends.
I learned about this giveaway on Facebook. I like to knit because it is simply relaxing. I like to wear things that I have knit and to also give gifts to family and friends of hand knit goodies. I love it when I see someone wearing something that I have knit for him or her.I do know how to crochet but prefer knitting always. Thank you for this give away.
I found your giveaway through Facebook. I crochet ALOT, I wish I could knit but I cannot. I’ve been crocheting for years now and I love it so much. Love to make my gifts , here’s hoping I get them all done before Christmas though ?
Chandi…I finally ordered some yarn from you a few months back and I made one of your scarves with two skeins of your fingering weight and I absolutely LOVE it. Your yarn is so springy and soft. And the colors are spectacular. I’ve been knitting for over 30 years and I sell my work on consignment at a couple of local boutiques. I’m never without a project on the needles. It is my sanity and my joy. Thanks for bringing such beautiful colorways into our lives.
I seen this on Facebook.I have never seen this yarn before,I would sure like to try this yarn.I crochet to pass time away and make things for my family.I have always liked to try new yarn and new patterns.The look of the yarn is very inviting.I love to be creative in anything I try.
I follow you on pretty much every form of social media but I first saw your giveaways on facebook. Knitting is my craft of choice. It give me an opportunity to relax and destress all while being able to make meaningful gifts for friends and family.
Love your beautiful colors! Such a relaxing time with my needles
That would be awesome to win all that gorgeous yarn !
I saw this offer via Facebook. I learned how to crochet a year ago and soon after started knitting. I started following your Youtube channel, Facebook page, then your blog. Your soo happy and upbeat and it does go to show you can do something you really love and get paid for it too!! I fell in love with the art of creating things for my loved ones and others. Its my therapy, it relaxes me and makes me centered. My new goal is to start dying my own yarn!!! Thanks for being you and offering us all a lil slice of your life!
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. Crocheting means a lot to me, I am sick all the time, in and out of the hospital. If I didn’t have my crocheting while there, I would probably go crazy.
I came to your giveaway in a roundabout way through Ravelry and your pineapple shawl, which led me to your shop, which lead me to your blog, which then lead me here.
Hi!!! I found this site on my Pinterest. I am a recovering alcoholic and picked up crocheting to keep myself busy and relieve stress. Its grown into such a wonderful hobby! I’ll never forget my first “sobriety” afgan 🙂
I follow your blog. I wait every month for the giveaway to see what awesome goodies you have to share.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. I’ve been knitting since the age if 12, but have neglected it in my early adult life, as I was busy with a career rat race. But when my son was born I started struggling with a post partum depression and needed to return to my creative self to stay sane, so I started knitting and designing knitwear again and have never looked back since.
Yummy yarn!!! I saw this post on Facebook. I mainly crochet (still working on patience level for knitting), because I love being able to do something creative with my hands, and your gorgeous yarns make it even more enticing.
I heard of this giveaway from facebook. I am a knitter and I learned only 6 yes ago. I have literally taught myself threw videos and books. I had help from my wife for a little but did the rest on my own. I started knitting for other people recently and I see how much they like my stuff and that means so much to me. I want to continue knitting for other people. I love knitting for my grand kids and they are young enough to love nana’s gifts. Lol. I love your yarn and colors and can’t wait till I can afford to get some.
Hi! I heard about the giveaway on your Facebook page. Fiber Arts are my therapy. I enjoy knitting, spinning, and a little bit of dyeing. Even with my growing stash, I think it’s cheaper than going to a therapist. It really helps me cope with stress during difficult times in my life. Loving the colors of the yarn in this month’s giveaway. <3
Greetings from North Georgia! I love your yarn!
I learned of this amazing and generous giveaway on Facebook. Knitting has given me a transition while I empty nested. It calms me and has given me several new friends through knitting groups. My husband’s job has us moving a lot, but everywhere I live I meet fibre artists who challenge my skills.
Working with yarn is my therapy. It’s my happy place. It’s my lifeline. I’ve been wrestling with some more intense depression this week, and picked up my crochet hook for the first time in a few days. Yesterday afternoon/evening was the most alive and energized I’d felt in days. Even today I’m feeling better wrapped in a handknit scarf made by a friend (using YOUR pearlescent Castle in the Clouds worsted!), and finishing up a crocheted hat. Truly, I’d be lost without my crafts.
I saw the giveaway on facebook, I try to remember to enter every month. Knitting is so important to me. It’s where I get my “me” time. I use it as a type of meditation, in peace and quiet, or just a way to decompress while watching tv or listening to an audio book. I have issues with needing to do more than one thing at a time, so knitting fills that need for me. 🙂
i saw the giveaway on my Facebook news feed. Crochet is my quiet place. It helps me be calm and centered while expressing myself through art.
Found out about this giveaway from you FB page. I love everything you post. I crochet, knit, and spin. Love them all; have been crocheting the longest amount of time, knitting the shortest amount of time. I use yarn crafting to alleviate stress and relax after my kids go to bed. Plus, making items to sell or gift to others is always great 🙂
I absolutely adore these colors in your giveaway!!! My favorite color is blue and any shade of blue, teal, turquoise,etc. I can see me making shawls, socks and intricate scarves with these yarns. I learned to knit when I was 9 (50 years ago) with a learn-to-knit kit and I’ve been going strong ever since. I’ve knitted through all the years of “no one knits”, I’ve knitted when “it’snot cool” and was still knitting when it became cool again!! I make sweaters, afghans, baby stuff, socks, jackets, coats – anything that hits my fancy. I have 97 projects started (sweaters, coats) countless socks being knitted and about 127+ balls of sock/lace yarn waiting to be a pair of socks or a shawl; 39 12qt bins of yarn upstairs in my yarn room waiting for a project and over 83 12qt bins of yarn in my basement waiting for a project. Yep, I love to knit!!!!! I saw your giveaway on my Facebook page and just had to enter!!! Love, love, love your yarns!!!!
Yarn is my other hoarding hobby haha saw this on FB in a group called Official CCC group!
Hello,
Crocheting is my yoga, it is so relaxing and brings me joy. I am imagining all the lovely things I could do with this yarn!
Thanks so much!
Saw it on FB. Gorgeous.
Also, knitting is relaxing and love the tactile nature of the yarns and visually pleasing colors.
These are my favorite colors!!! Thank you for the chance to win!
So, so, so gorgeous!
My name is Karen and I follow you on Facebook. I love to knit, especially hats and socks, I also love to read. I commute to work by train and found I can do both by knitting while listening to audio books.
I saw this on facebook and since I’m addicted to your yarn and pray I win a giveaway someday, I keep signing up! I’m in Christmas gift mode, so this yarn would become amazing gifts that would find wonderful homes for the holidays!
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. I watch you post the new colors daily & wish I could have them all! When I was young, probably 8-ish, my Grandmother taught me to crochet a single chain. That was it. She crocheted afghans as did my Aunt. We only have one of their afghans left in the house & so I decided one day that I needed to fill the house back up with these lovely creations. I taught myself to do all of the stitches from youtube & Pinterest. I am even using your knitting video Chandi! (Still struggling, though). But for me, crocheting is carrying on something my Grandmother taught me & that she very much enjoyed. I also love how creative it has become and how different the yarns are now. This is my favorite pasttime. I even stole a headlamp from my husband so I can crochet while he is asleep without straining my eyes. #priorities 🙂
I was scrolling on Facebook when these beautiful blues and purples caught my eye. I checked it out and found out about your giveaway. I started knitting in grade school. That was so long ago that I don’t even remember why I wanted to knit. For me, knitting is an opportunity to create items that are unique. The added bonus is that knitting just seems to keep me relaxed (well, until something goes wrong on a project! 🙂 )
I saw the giveaway on my Facebook feed. Yarn/knitting/crochet (I do both as well as a little weaving and spinning) brings me comfort with memories of the past from my Gram teaching me crochet to the love for items I’ve created for my children or others. It’s my happy place.
Saw this on Facebook. Knitting has saved my sanity. When I knit all stress leaves my body like magic and a feeling of calm rushes over me. The feeling of the yarn, clicking of the needles, the whole experience is soothing. Can’t imagine my life without it.
I follow you on Facebook, email & blog. Your yarn is sooo pretty! I love knitting knitting it; I just can’t knit fast enough!
love this giveaway! Saw it on Facebook and had to enter for my (hopefully lucky) b-day month. Thx for sharing your talents with us!!
Hi, I saw a post on FB on Adeline Crochet Shawl Pattern and for that reason I visited your blog. I first read the About page and immediately felt I’m on a right place. I love your vibe and how “real” person you decided to be, your story and your energy is so motivating that it makes it a treat. Only then I came accross this giveaway. I liked that I felt inspired while both reading your lines and viewing the pictures. Oh, the colours! You made such a great job. I love your yarn! So relaxing yet moving. My passion is crochet, I love that peacefull excursion when playing with yarn and thoughts on how to use it to make something new. It is always a pleasure seeing it transform under my hook. And even a bigger one having another person excited about it. Thank you for giving us a chance to win this yarn.
Crocheting is love. Crocheting is life.
I found this on facebook, I started crocheting at an early age, as I got older I kind of forgot about it. A few years ago I renewed my friendship with the hook and yarn and it has turned into a love affair and my salvation. It takes away the stress of the day. While crocheting I am happy and the end products when given to someone in turn make them happy. It’s a win win situation all around.
Facebook this time!
These are so my colors! OOOOOh the things I could create with these masterpieces!
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. At my Great Aunt’s knee, I learned to embroidery, cross stitch and crochet. A coworker started teaching me to knit before her untimely death. Learning via youtube and trial and error, I’m getting there on knitting. I crochet/knit prayer shawls for anyone and prayer blankets for infants that God place on my heart.
This beautiful yarn would be blessing so many more can feel the love of Christ as the shawl/blanket is placed on them.
Hi Chandi saw this giveaway on face book. Sooo much beautiful yarn!!!! My Grandma was a knitter and Mom taught us how to crochet. We made rugs with material that we got from Munsingwear. Those rugs never wore out. I love knitting everyday and making somethng for all the special family and friends in my life. Learning new things everyday while doing that is also a plus.
Thank you for the beautiful yarns you create!! Love them!!
Just found your site today because of your lovely Adelaide shawl pattern. I started following your blog and ended up seeing the contest post that way.
The one thing that makes me genuinely happy is feeling useful. I work as a tutor, and I’m also in the military, but when I’m not at work I’m typically making something at home. My hobbies are baking, cooking, sewing, crochet, knitting, weaving, spinning, and any other skill I can pick up and use to make something that someone else will enjoy. The sewing, crochet, baking, and cooking in particular are skills that I was taught by my mother, who was taught by hers. It’s nice to know that my hobbies, in addition to being useful, are also helping to perpetuate the history and tradition of handiwork in my family. =)
The is a poem, “when I am old, I will wear purple”. And nothing goes better with purple than turquoise! What a treat to win this yarn and pattern set!
I found this website complements of my mom! 🙂 Your yarn is just gorgeous! We started knitting together as a mother-daughter thing and have had a ball. I’d love to add your yarn to my collection to help me get started.
Hi! I found this giveaway on fb and I try and enter all of them I can!! I knit and I taught myself around 3 years ago! I have always felt like I never have the confidence to start something and finish it. So I tried knitting! I taught myself and I found im pretty good at it! It’s one thing I can do to relax after putting 3 kids to bed! It’s something I feel accomplished at! And it’s something I can sell to earn money for my family to boot!
Wow! Such gorgeous colours! Thank you so much for such a fun giveaway!
I found this on Facebook and to me knitting/crocheting/yarn (and your posts) mean an oasis of calm in a sea of crazy.
I hears about the giveaway from my sister on facebook! I love the way I can relax when I am crocheting! I was kind of surprised at that. 🙂
Hi Chandi, I started to crochet 3 years ago now and was recently inspired by your knitting tutorials and began taking some knitting classes from a fabulous yarn lover that I met in my new town. I love that I can create beautiful functional items with love and detail and care and I love being challenged by new stitches. I saw this on your Facebook page 🙂
Heard of the giveaway on your Facebook page. I like crochet projects for my kids right now. Still new to it! Would love to give knitting a try one day too! Thank you! 🙂
I am so in LOVE with your colors and patterns. I would love to just run my hands through it to feel how wonderful it is!!!
I found out about the giveaway via Facebook and my email.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this!!!!!
I’m a follower on Facebook and pinterest. Knit and crochet is my way of relaxing and winding down. It’s also a craft I often does with my daughter. The first solo crochet she did on her own was when she was only 7 following your YouTube video on crocheting a snowflake. <3
I don’t “do” fb or pinterest or any of those things – I found out about this gorgeous generous (and did I saw gorgeous) giveaway right here on this blog! I’m just waiting for the horrible exchange range to sort itself out so I can finally grab myself some German Shepherd colourway!
My knitting and crochet has been very important to me over the last few years. I won’t bore you with the whole sob story, but the feeling that I CAN (occasionally) do something right when a project comes off the needles and I’m happy with it is really wonderful for me. And of course the sharing / loving aspect with other crafters is also wonderful.
lovvee the colours of your yarn – I have yet to use them – so I would love to win this selection – knitting is helping me heal as I am ill right now – I found this site from facebook hugs to you all
I saw the contest in Facebook. I love your yarns!
Hi! I saw a post for this contest after downloading the free Adeline pattern (thanks so much for that!!) I found the Adeline pattern on Ravelry.
I have been frustrated with how commercialized Christmas has become, so in an effort to teach my children about giving, I’m going to crochet all the gifts that we will give to our extended family. I hope that my kids see how joyous it is to give and receive homemade gifts, and that sticks with them. Also, crochet keeps me sane, so the Christmas project has given me an excuse to bring my yarn with me EVERYWHERE! Everybody wins!
I heard about this giveaway through facebook and instagram. Knitting has basically saved me from insanity, I’m in gradschool and the amount of work, and the constant punches to your self-confidence were making me crazy. Knitting has helped me to regain confidence.
Thanks for the chance! I saw your giveaway on Facebook, and love all the gorgeous colors! Thanks again.
I saw this yarn giveaway on Facebook and I subscribe to your newsletter. I drool over your yarn! Knitting and crocheting is a way to be creative, a stress reliever and a wonderful way to show someone you care with a handmade gift. Thanks for doing what you do. Your fun spirit comes across in all your posts. In addition to seeing wonderful yarn, it is always a treat to read your posts.
Saw this giveaway on a friend’s shared post-The colors are my favorites and knitting keeps me from going crazy-Plus the best part is the look on friends faces when you give them a handknit gift
I saw your give away on fb. I have been knitting and crocheting for 50 yrs. I use yarn for my relaxing time, love the feel of it in my fingers, the weight of an afghan on my lap in winter. I love making swaddling blankets for new Mama’s and their babies. They love how they stretch and conform to baby giving the baby a feeling of safety. After all they are used to being in tight space for 9 mos.
I get your patterns in my email but today I saw this on facebook. I am a retired woman who does not have a whole lot of friends. I knit because it helps me pass time and gives me wonderful things to share with my family and friends.
Always see your giveaways on Facebook. Love to knit for relaxation..and have something beautiful to wear for myself or to share.
I found your website early in your quest of yarn goodness. Knitting is a stress reliever, something to keep my hands busy while watching tv, and a great way to make some wonderful gifts.
Oh my goodness… you yarn is so lovely! I first discovered you as well as this offer on Facebook and also follow on Instagram now. Knitting (and spinning) are my passion. I put love into every single stitch and it gives me such joy to give the finished product to someone. I’ve also finally turned my passion into a business! I started designing and writing patterns which are (finally) on Ravelry and my website! *squee* I have more things coming soon and hope to sell my knitted items as well. I use only high quality yarn and would LOVE to use your yarn for my lovely knits!
Thank you for the chance at the giveaway! <3
Chandi – thank you so much for this chance! Your colors are amazing!
Crocheting is something I learned when I was 14 along with knitting and I am so happy that it has made a comeback. Now my grandkids are having me teach them so the craft will continue. I follow your FB page and saw this beautiful yarn on it, no words to describe how much I love it!
I heard about this giveaway when I visited your page. I knit and crochet for a living, and have a business on Facebook, so yarn and fiber are kinda my life 😉
I saw this fabulous giveaway on Facebook. Crochet means a lot of things for me the very biggest thing is it provides me with a get a way from my every day stressful life. When I finish a crochet project I get the most wonderful feeling inside. It has definitely changed my life for the better. Thank you so much for having such a great giveaway
I saw it on Facebook this time! Usually catch it in the Newsletter 😉 I crochet and just learned to knit this past year. I am a bit of an introvert and this keeps me busy (and helps me feel more productive) while catching up on my DVR 🙂
I saw this giveaway on Facebook, and I must say the beautiful colors and photos drew me I . I learned to knit about two years ago and have fallen in love with the art and creativity it inspires. I have really enjoyed reading all the comments on what fibre art means to all of us. It really is a community. Good luck to all. Whomever the winner is, will appreciate the gift!
I LOVE the colors you have picked out for this give-a-way! They are Awesome!
I saw the giveaway on your website. I have been crocheting for 40 yrs.I would love to win this yarn,I have never had the opportunity to use this yarn. There are so many things I could make with yarn. Thank you
Hi Chandi! I just love getting your emails! The yarn is so beautiful and the way you photograph your work is fabulous! Knitting is my passion. I have something going on my needles every day. I would love to make a beautiful cashmere vest for the winter. 🙂
I received an email about the contest and saw it on Facebook.
Knitting is my therapy. Not long ago, my life was very stressful and I dealt with a lot of life threatening illnesses by my 25th birthday. Knitting helped take my mind off the pain.
Also, creating items for my friends and family is so rewarding.
I found the giveaway via Facebook. I find knotting and crocheting very relaxing, yet challenging when trying new patterns, especially lace knitting, which is new to me.
I found this on Instagram. I picked up knitting this summer as a way to destress after work (supposedly when you’re more comfortable, its almost meditative 🙂 ).
2. Comment on this blog post telling me how you heard about this giveaway and what yarn/knitting/crocheting (or your chosen craft) means to you. I’d love to hear your story.
I heard about this giveaway through Instagram followed by an email newsletter. I love knitting because it’s meditative and productive, both of which relieve anxiety. it’s win-win!
I found the giveaway on pintrest this time. I love yarn, knitting & crocheting. It means happiness, creativity, and relaxation to me.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. For me, I’m a crocheter. I suffer from anxiety and depression and I have a condition that has me in a wheelchair. Being so means I can’t really get out and do much like regular people. Even though that’s the case, being crafty is one thing I’m good at. I’ve only been crocheting since the beginning of Summer this year but I’ve learned so much already and made tons of things for my friends and family. I tried knitting but couldn’t quite get the hang of it and have temporarily put it on hold. I’ll try again when I feel like I’m ready. But when I crochet, it helps me let go of all my stresses and things that are bothering me. It takes me to a whole other world. It makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. When I successfully complete a project, that feeling grows. Experimenting different types of yarn, trying out new patterns, it makes me feel at ease. I think those of us that are makers and creatives share the feeling of accomplishment when we give handmade gifts that people love more than something you can buy at a store already made. People telling me that they appreciate what I make for them, that’s why I do what I do and it’s the best feeling in the world to me.
This giveaway is way over the top The yarns look soft as a bunny’s fur. I wish I could hold it . Congratulations on creating the perfect fibers and colors to match. Way to Go ! Really love you yarn, but can’t buy very often. hoping to be able to soon as it is so yummy.
I found you just TODAY through a shared post by Elk Studios! I’m so thrilled to have found such a wonderful yarnie place!
I LOVE crochet! Mommy, who’s been gone now for almost 9 years, taught me to crochet when I was young… Maybe 7 or 8. This is the one thing that makes me feel artistic! I get to make something special from me to give to someone else that I love. ❤️
I have so many people that I get to make items for: 3 grown daughters, 3 sons-in-law, 8 grandchildren from age 18 years to 4 months… And every single one of them has a list of “Nana, I’d sure like to have this” items. And that’s just my immediate family!
Crochet is also my therapy. When the world gets hard I can “crochet through it.” Also, I have Fibromyalgia so this is a physical therapy too.
I’m so glad I’ve found you along this journey…
I saw your contest on facebook.
Ihave always done arts and crafts but would “conquer” a project and just tired of it. There is no end to being challenged in knitting, however. I absolutely love to knit and have a huge natural fiber fetishes that is hard to afford. Lol.
Absolutely love your colorways!
I learned of this giveaway on Facebook. Yarn and creating are my stress relievers. If I could crochet all day I would be so happy!
Hi Chandi,
I saw this from your Fb page. I love to knit, although I’m relatively new and quite slow, but I like to be productive while I’m at countless hours for kid activities. Hopefully one day I will be lucky to win one of your contests. I love your colors.
Angela
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. I knit because it relaxes me and I love making beautiful things from a ball of yarn.
Saw on your Facebook page!
I really began crocheting once I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, and wanted to make cute little this for her. Now she is 3, and I also have a 1 year old son. I only get a little bit of time in the evening after they are both in bed to crochet and unwind. I am so so lucky to be able to be a stay at home mom to my 2 beautiful loves, but the downside is that I don’t know a lot of people in our town and can feel socially isolated, which can make the days seem long and more stressful sometimes. Being able to relax and decompress in the comfort of crochet (and, okay, the occasional glass of red wine!) helps to keep me sane 🙂
Hi Chandi!
I just saw this on your blog page. I was looking to post a picture of the headband I just completed from your free pattern. (Thank you!)… Your yarns are so beautiful & I recently received my first order, I cannot wait to start crocheting. I love your energy & inspiration. What a gift it would be to receive this giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity & your generous spirit. ?
I have been crocheting for about 11 years and I just picked up knitting this year. I love to create with my hands, and no one is gonna stop me! I think that the ability to create is one of the best qualities anyone can have, and I’m lucky enough to have it.
Your yarns are gorgeous, and I can only hope that I win and can make something that you’d all be proud of!
I saw the giveaway on Facebook.
Knitting and crocheting (I do both) really mean the world to me. I feel so good about myself when I craft! I love being able to clothe and warm my family with things I made myself. I’m also able to donate my time to others through these crafts: I make gifts for others (especially new babies), create blankets and other comfort objects for those grieving, and make items for several charities.
I learned to knit and crochet from my grandmother, and now I am teaching my daughters how to do it. I love the circle of this, the connection to my past and their future.
I saw this contest on Pinterest and indeed began drooling over the colors! I love knitting but often don’t have the extra cash needed to purchase truly beautiful, high-quality yarns – it would be so fabulous to finally get my hands working with elegant fibers! I’m already working on some Christmas gift ideas for my wonderful house-mates and would love to be able to incorporate some of these stunning hues into my designs! Thanks for the competition and props on an awesome blog! <3
I found out about the giveaway on Twitter. LOVE your yarn!
I heard about your contest on Facbook. I’m excitrd about it because I love all of your yarn, but am not able to buy any. I have even gone as far as offering to make something free if someone would just buy the yarn LOL!! I pray I get a chance to try your yarn they always look so delicious, or even win the contest. That would be amazing!!!
Found out on Facebook…. I love your yarn!
I have been crocheting and knitting for clise to 50 years, it is my stress reliever, but better than that it is my creative outlet. I love the seeing the beautiful yarns come to life. I purchased many of your yarns and they are the most wonderful yarns to work with, this color set is amazing, thank you for offering them
I found your contest through pintrest because I follow you. I live in a house of three boys (including the over grown one) and we have a plumbing company. Even the dog is a boy. So I needed something sparkly and beautiful for me and knitting and crochet let’s me make create beauty. What a gift! Your yarn is spectacular, I wonder what I would create.
I love your yarn – so many beautiful colors. I saw your contest on Facebook. I am going to dye some yarn today with beet juice.
What luscious colors, they really got interested even at first glance in my Pinterest feed. I will definitely add this to my pins. Hope I get lucky and even if I don’t I am glad to have found something this lovely.
the purist of yarngives me life and theability to create,for all
Knitting for me is therapy for my ms diagnosis. It’s soothing and something I can control. My friend meg shared this and the colors were to yummy to ignore
I signed up for emails from you, and followed the link to your Facebook page. I have crochet since I was young
I’m a lefty so my grandmother who was right handed set facing me to show me how to crochet. I also started weaving earlier this year. I have a rigid heddle loom. I’m working on towels, a different pattern every month to get the hang of weaving. I am trying to teach myself to knit but that is not going as well but I wont give up because I love the shawls /warps . I sew for a lady that sells Saints costumes on line. Our Coats of Many colors. http://ourcoatsofmanycolors.com/ So I am always busy doing one thing or the other.
I follow you on Facebook and that’s where I heard about your give away. I first discovered you on instagram when someone mentioned you in a comment. Crocheting is a way to connect with my mother as she taught me to crochet when a was a little child around the age of 3. Now a days I do it to relax and feel closer to the person I’m crocheting or knitting for
I would love to give this yarn a try! Looks beautiful!
I found this on Facebook. Love to knit, taught myself in the last couple of years. It is what I do in the quiet moments.
I found out about your giveaway on Pinterest
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. I love your yarn ..I’m hope one day to be able to afford it lol
Knitting and crocheting means a lot to me. It means that I can make hats scarves and other items for anybody! I’m so happy when I knit and crochet. It’s a real gift! I can also donate to charity!!!????????
I don’t know what blows me away more, the yarn, or the photos accompanying the yarn. We fondly refer to going to your page as “yarn porn”.
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. Knitting is relaxation and a chance to create something. I love the teal colors!
Knotting has become my refuse. Creative outlet with precise goals in my world of crazy. Love you use of color in unusual projects. It was the colors of your yarn pictured on race that caused me to first notice your site!
Saw the giveaway on Facebook. Your yarns are gorgeous – amazing colors. I’m not a knitter (yet!) but crochet is a big part of my life. I have difficulty at times with clinical depression and anxiety, and yarn is what I turn to in order to keep myself together. The colors and textures of the yarns take me out of whatever obsessive thoughts have grabbed hold. It allows me to create and feel a sense of accomplishment that is sometimes elusive. It is both soothing and reinvigorating for me to lose myself in yarn and crochet hook.
I saw this giveaway on Pinterest! For me, knitting is a way to use my nervous energy for something positive!
On facebook, I love to crochet when my arms allow it. I am making blankets for all my grandkids.
i found this on Facebook (and Like the page!). Knitting/crocheting is my relaxation and de-stress therapy. I get three hours of knitting by attending a knitting group on Sunday afternoons.
I live in Lizella, Georgia, where there are no stop lights and NO YARN STORES. The withdrawal is almost more than I can bear. Saw this on FB. Pick me!
I have followed your blog for almost a year. I love getting your updates. I started crocheting last year to make my friend a cowl foe Christmas. Since then, it has become a nice stress relief for my hectic job of first grade teacher. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas with us!
Found out on FB! Thanks for another chance!
Hi, I’m an avid fan of your yarns. I heard about the contest on Facebook. Keep up the wonderful work!
I just saw the giveaway on pinterest and I really love those colors! I learned to crochet with my Mother when I was still young and to this day I still love to crochet. Being in the process of moving to a new house, I can picture in my mind the amazing house items I’d be making with those!
Hi! I saw the giveaway on Pinterest though I have followed you on YouTube longer! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win these wonderfully delicious yarns!!
Chandi, thank you for the lovely giveaway. I am inspired by you to start knitting and crocheting again. I have stuff tucked I my closet. I bought some yarn today. To start practicing knitting first. Have not done in a long time. Very rusty. I you all your videos on YouTube.
I forgot mention that I found the contest on Facebook.
Winning this would be the best birthday present ever! These are my favorite colors!
when is your birthday?
I get your emails & follow you on Facebook, so I’m not sure which I saw first about the giveaway.
I like crocheting & knitting because I like using creativity to make something useful & I like the idea of taking what is essentially a piece of string & turning it into cloth.
I found this on Facebook. I love to knit. It’s the best way to relieve stress. I love your yarn, it looks wonderful.
I saw your contest on Facebook. I love knitting and crocheting. The colors, the fibers. The creative possibilities are endless!
I saw the post on Facebook. I am much better at crochet, but trying to learn to knit as well. It’s a way to express myself, I love colour, but I am not good at painting or drawing. I also want to make things for my family, I want to keep them warm and comfortable even when I can’t be there with them.
I saw it on Facebook. I learned to knit from my 12 yo niece — to make booties for my daughter to take to Hong Kong on a missions trip. I was hooked and couldn’t stop. I knit every day and it brings me a calm that nothing else can—–except when the sweater doesn’t fit and I have to frog it. But then again, it’s really about the journey after all.
I heard about your contest through all of your social media outlets! 🙂 FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram…I love your yarn!!
I heard about this on Facebook. My mom taught I like that it is something we both enjoy doing. We discuss colors and patterns on a regular basis, so it’s important to me because it brings us closer, even though we live 10 hours apart.
I’ve seen this yarn at some craft fairs and had fallen in love with it. It’s so soft and the ideas just keep rolling around of what I could make out of it
I saw this one facebook. I love knitting because I feel so connected to a group of people who have provided beautifully crafted things for their loved ones for generations.
I already follow you on Facebook, and when I saw these yummy colours pop up in my News Feed I couldn’t help but stop and drool 🙂 I’ve been knitting for years off and on, but with fibre artists like yourself out there I couldn’t help but get back into it regularly….addicted almost 😉 Thanks for the contest. Fingers crossed for a win!
Instagram! I’m a knitter
I came to know about this giveaway from Twitter.. Crocheting is my passion.. I spend most of the time of my day with my yarn n crochet hooks 🙂
I saw the giveaway on facebook.
I crochet primarily. My grandmother taught me but I didn’t really crochet much. When my grandmother passed away I began finding tutorials on line and crocheting like mad. It was my way to stay close to her, to honor her memory. She crocheted everyday, doilies, blankets, bed dolls, she made all my barbies clothes (they were beautiful). Now I crochet and it still helps me feel close to her, but it also makes me happy. It is my sanity saver, my passion and my favorite past time.
I saw the contest info on Pinterest. I love your yarn and it’s the only yarn I will give as a gift. I learned to knit when I was 24. I have osteoarthritis in my hands and knitting keeps them from stiffening up. I also encourage my patients to learn to knit because it decreases stress and helps lower blood pressure. It is also good for the brain. Now, at age 41, my husband and I bought a small farm and we are going to raise sheep (and hopefully alpaca) for fiber.
I saw this giveaway on Pinterest. I’ve just started experimenting with felting and I am loving working with wool and silk when nuno felting!
I saw the giveaway on your blog. I started teaching myself to knit four years ago. Knitting for me is a stress reliever and a way to relax for hours.
I found this on a google search of yarn give-aways, though I’ve been here before. Yarn is my release – and the fiber that binds several of us together at our twice-weekly gatherings.
I am blessed to crochet everyday. I love creating things for the ones I love. Thank you so much for sharing your love of all things creative with us.
I saw the give-away on Facebook. I love your yarns and has made many, many items with it.
I heard about the giveaway on the blog. I love knitting because I think it is really fun to create new things and it is also very relaxing.
I saw this giveaway on facebook. I love knitting and crocheting as a way to feel snuggly during winter evenings in watching tv. I feel like it adds a bit of productivity to an otherwise lazy night!
I get your emails full of delicious yarn sent to my inbox, but I saw this giveaway on Facebook this time.
My mother taught me to knit when I was about 8 years old. For some reason I insisted. I am not a pushy person at all, but I knew I wanted to learn to knit so I continued to ask her to teach me despite her protests that she was no good at it. Knitting has become so much more to me than just a hobby it has become a way to be peaceful and find my center in a world of stress and chaos. It is a way that I can bless people with handmade gifts that have love and a prayer knit into every stitch.
Crocheting helps me clear space in my mind, it is therapeutic and has helped me through some really tough times. Any yarn/fibre related techniques satisfies my soul! I get lost in my projects and can sometimes get a bit over eager and end up with about 10 unfinished projects not knowing which one to give my undivided attention to 🙂
I saw this drool-worthy yarn giveaway on FB this morning — how fun!
I LOVE knitting — it is my sensory meditation, and when life seems just too crazy busy, the beautiful things I create provide me with calm and a sense of control.
I heard about this on Facebook. Crochet is a way for me to relax from my job. I work 40-50 hours a week on a computer. My crochet is a relaxing and wonderful way to get away from the electronics and wind down from all the stress of working on and with computers all week long.
i follow your FB page and saw the contest there. Knitting is a meditative and creative activity for me.
Hello my talented friend!
I have been following you on Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube for a while now. I get your e-mails too and one magical day I will be able to afford some of your gorgeous yarn.
I found this giveaway through your Facebook page and just had to enter with the chance of winning some of your yarn. I have to admit it was the colors pictured (yes…kudos to the photographer) and the gorgeous cable sweater on the cover of the book that drew me in.
My first love is crochet, followed by knitting and even macrame with yarn. I have even given loom knitting a try but just haven’t developed a feel for that one yet.
Keep up your beautiful work!
Sue
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. I knit for relaxation and creativity.
I hear about it via facebook. Such beautiful colours!
Hi Chandi! I saw this giveaway via your Facebook page. It showed up in my newsfeed because I liked your page. Knitting to me is more than a craft, it is my go-to stress reducer, and also my pain reducer, as I have fibromyalgia. I love your beautiful yarns!
Thank you! Beautiful as always! <3 best of luck to everyone!
I first saw this giveaway on PInterest. Being able to knit and crochet means that I have creative control over the things that I wear. Since my sewing skills suck I like being able to create something cute for myself and others.
I found out about this giveaway through facebook.
Knitting was originally my only hobby, and something to do. Then I found out how much I love it. Now it’s a hobby, a stress reliever, and so much more
We just moved across the country away from our families and sending them handmade knits let’s them know I’m thinking about them all the time! I’ve been a big fan for a long time so I can’t even remember how I first found your yarn!
I saw the post for the giveaway on Facebook. I was actually drooling over the yarn before I realized it was a giveaway haha! I’ve crocheted since I was 6 years old. I had cancer and my grandmother taught me while I was sick, she spent a lot of time with me in the hospital. I still have the blanket she taught me on to this today, it sits in my 18 month old daughters room on the recliner we sit in every night for a story and a bottle. Crocheting means more to me than I think I could explain. I am blessed to still have my Grandma but it reminds me of her every time I do it. It helps sooth me when I am rattled, when I am stressed, when I need to keep my hands busy but don’t want to think too much. It allows me to put my love and thoughtfulness into something to show someone just how much I care too. It also lets my creative juices flow and I love the challenge of a new pattern. Thank you Chandi for your beautiful yarn and patterns!
Hi, saw this on facebook and I enter this contest every month. I love the colors this month and as always would be thrilled beyond belief to win this.
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. I’ve been knitting for the last six years and crocheting for the last three. It’s been a way for me to cope with the depression and anxiety I’ve had since I was grade school. Working with yarn is soothing, and crafting has been proven to naturally reduce stress and anxiety. Plus, I like making things that are both beautiful and functional–it makes me feel like I’m enjoying myself in a worthwhile way. All of your yarns are gorgeous, and I’m so excited you’re giving away purples and teals this month–that’s one of my favorite color combinations!
Facebook suggested this post and I’m so happy your yarn is beautiful. I love to knit and crochet just to destress.
Saw it on FB. Those blues… gorgeous. My favourite!
I came across this great giveaway via your Facebook page. I recently found the love of yarn and knitting and boy I am so happy I did! Your YouTube tutorials on knitting and now on crocheting have taught me so much. Knitting allows me to be creative and push myself to even greater heights and my littles adore knitted treasures full of love, just for them!
Saw this on Facebook. Knitting relaxes me, lets me create beautiful things, lets me play with pretty colours, and keeps me sane!
I get your email, but I saw this posted on facebook I think it’s so nice that you do yarn giveaways.
Found the give away on Pinterest this time. Crocheting saves my sanity (I’d be at my desk working till all hours if it wasn’t for my yarn addiction!)
This time your give away has everything I love about being a yarnie – the colours, that book, OMG that book!
Here’s hoping it’s me! :o)
I saw this month’s giveaway of Pinterest. I’ve been crocheting for a year and a half and its a new hobby for me or more like my relaxation time to wind down and ease my mind. I also like making different items to see how creative I can get and make them more unique.
Saw the giveaway on Facebook. What beautiful colors in this month’s selections.
Saw this on facebook. Love the look of the yarn, wonderful colors. I knit to relax and create beautiful, functional things.
I have been a follower on Facebook for several months now. I love your colors and how to match nature to come up with these stunning combinations.
I found your blog from a post on a Facebook crochet group page, and discovered the yarn giveaway while I was browsing through the blog. I enjoy crocheting, would love to create something with your yarns!
i started following you on Facebook after I downloaded one of your free crochet patterns. I started crocheting in college as a stress relief, and because I wanted accessories that looked better than what I could buy in the store. I turned that into a small business & sell my scarves, headbands, and market bags. I love showing off what I made, and I love doing it with pretty yarn!!
I’m new to crochet, and your tutorials have been a huge help! Having chronic back pain, I haven’t been able to sew as much as I used to, and this has been a fantastic alternative! I love being able to create 😀
Found this giveaway on Facebook. I love to crochet and am excited to try new yarns.
I heard about this new giveaway from facebook. My yarn crafts (crochet and knitting) mean I get time alone to myself. I can relax and produce some great gifts, sometimes something for myself. OK, that’s if the dogs and cats can leave me alone long enough.
One day I know I will win!
I saw the give-a-way on Facebook. I love the quality and colors of your yarn!
I am pretty new to crocheting. I have been doing it a couple of months. I learned to crochet to make hats and scarves for homeless people in our area. My love of crocheting has totally evolved into more than just basic stitches to make something beautiful for those who don’t feel they deserve something beautiful.
What crocheting means to me ? When I’m crocheting I feel like I’m in another place my concentration is really deep into what I’m doing . When I’m done my heart is happy with a warm fuzzy feeling lol.
Found this on Facebook. Colors of your yarn is amazing!
First: saw your Facebook post about the giveaway, couldn’t resist…
Second: What does yarn/knitting mean to me? Where do I start? I have been an avid, passionate knitter for decades. My love of yarn and knitting has led me to some modest designing, but has also become part of my overall love and passion for fiber and textile art of all kinds. I make and sell temari balls (not food! a traditional Japanese craft; see my website http://www.yarndancevt.com), and I also make and sell handknits. I am always to be found stitching or knitting, and when I’m not making inventory for my business I’m knitting because I love it. I am happiest when surrounded by yarn!

Knitting is my zen zone, my serenity. I have rheumatoid arthritis so it’s also my mobility, fine motor skills therapy. I’m so afraid if I don’t use it, I’ll lose the ability.
Such gorgeous colors!
My mother taught me to knit when I was about 12. She had decided she wanted to learn to knit and was taking lessons and then would teach me what she had learned at that week’s lesson. So, now I have been knitting for over 60 years. Her mother taught me to crochet when I was about 6 years old so I’ve been crocheting for even longer but mostly use it for finishing knit items or when the pattern calls for a crocheted edging. I knit a lot of shawls, cowls and scarfs mainly for friends and family members as presents.
I read about the giveaway on facebook. Crocheting and in a smaller amount knitting, is a way to unwind while making something beautiful and usually, useful. It means my family is wrapped in things I have made for them to be warm.
your yarn filled posts (never mind the giveaways) are always so vibrant, inspiring and full of sunshine smiles – I usually pick them up on Facebook or e-mail. Thank you so much for cheering my days 🙂
Saw my reminder for the giveaway on Facebook. I’m on my 4th pair of socks using your wonderful yarn (this pair for my son). My spinning and knitting keep me going an give me a wonderful outlet for creativity and stress relief.
I learned to knit when I was 10 but I didn’t know how to read a pattern. I took a class 8 years ago and I’m hooked for life. There’s nothing like giving a homemade gift! I saw this on facebook and thought I’d give it a try! Thanks for posting!
I saw an ad on my newsfeed on Facebook. I’m entering with hopes that I’ll finally win a yarn contest! You can never have too much yarn to accept more!
I went to look for your video on using Kool-Aid to dye yarn and TADA bumped into your give-away. Weeeee
The desire to knit came from watching my mother and aunts click away on their knitting needles. Mainly self taught by making many sweaters in all sizes and color/stitch combinations. Did some cross stitching, learned how to crochet recently, love doing bead work and learned a little tatting.
Then I touched roving…… So now I’m learning how to spin and …. yeah, I also want to learn how to dye the skeins I can make! ha!
My passion for fiber got deeply aroused recently when I got offered a job as a Fiber Artist in our LYS. a whole world of opportunity opened up in what you can do with fiber. From fleece to garment and everything in between. I’m so excited!
It is such an empowering process to create something with your own hands. You create something you love, something that is beautiful and it can sustain your life at the same time.
Thank you for the chance to win some pretties! :>
I follow your blog, have been for over a year! Crafting is my escape.
I found your giveaway through your facebook post 🙂 As for what knitting means to me… it is a way for me to stay busy, sane, and provide gifts for people I love.
Lovely colors!! Would be such fun to work with!!
This time I think I saw the giveaway on Facebook first. Knitting and yarn and everything around it has quickly become a really big part in my life, I recently started my studies in crafts and design and right now I’m focused around knitting and fabrics in general, hoping to get into dyeing yarns and fabric later on. but it is also something that helps me calm down after a stressful day. 🙂
a friend shared this with me on facebook. it looks so yummy i must win. 🙂
Saw this giveaway on facebook. I would love to learn how to knit cables! I’m still a very beginner knitter..
My daughter suggested your site. Have been knitting for 50 years, find it relaxing and yet it requires enough concentration to be a challenge at times.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook and clicking on it took me to your site. Beautiful site, gorgeous yarn.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook.
Crochet and Knitting are my stress relief. I love working on a project and watching it turn into something wonderful.
Love your yarns, Chandi! Your blog & emails are so refreshing, also! Thank you!
I have entered in past giveaways and I thought it was time to go back on Pinterest and enter again. Crochet means so much to me. It helps me focus on one beautiful thing. On the beauty and grace of the yarn slide swiftly on the hook and between my fingers. It’s calming.
saw this post on my facebook wall…. love yarn and enjoy making scarves and cowls that most. I can also make mittens and some hats…. I love the peace of mind it gives me and the joy to having my own handmade items.
I saw this giveaway post on Facebook and I just love the yarn! My friends and I love to knit. It’s an excuse to get together and have a good time (and a glass of wine).
I saw this giveaway on facebook. The colors of the yarn are gorgeous!
My crafts of choice are knitting, crochet, and spinning. 🙂 I forgot to list them in my comment.
Knitting and Crochet are things that soothe my busy mind. I’m always overthinking, busy with a 7 day a week, labor-intensive job, worrying about money and family, etc. Whenever I find an hour, or ten minutes, of time to craft, it’s the one time I can stop thinking and just relax. I craft with no recipient in mind, and only want my projects to find a home where they will be well worn when they fall apart. Being in the final year of college, and in an internship, AND looking for a job post-graduation, there is tons of anxiety in my life. I still look forward to that one hour before bed that I can work with my yarn and just RELAX!
Saw this on fb. I’ve been knitting for a while but this year it’s been an especially big part of my life as it’s helped me cope with some injuries that left me less mobile than usual.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. I love to make things for my family, and I also sell crocheted items to make a little money as a stay at home mom.
I saw this giveaway on facebook.knitting and crocheting for me are a way to create something new from almost nothing, like a blank slate.
Saw the contest on Facebook. PERFECT Colors for the Peacock Coat I am designing! Pick me!
These colors are magnificent…I keep hoping one day I will win one of these give aways…until then pennies are being saved 🙂
i read about this giveaway from other fiber friends on Facebook. I taught myself to crochet about 25 years ago and taught myself to knit about 15 years ago. Fiber art is my relaxing time, I am a middle school music teacher and my job is demanding and stressful. Spending time with yarn and sticks creating functional or decorative items makes me a nicer person. I don’t feel like I’m wasting time at kids practices and lessons and random boring meetings if I have fiber in my hands. I don’t feel like I am indulging myself watching television if I have a project on needles that I am making progress on. I love giving away the fruits of my labor and I love wearing my creations myself. I can’t imagine my life without knitting and crocheting. I wouldn’t be the same person! I have found community locally and on line as a result of being a knitter and I nearly drool every time I look at the beautiful color ways you create. I wish I could have a boatload of your yarns to touch, contemplate and create with!
I found this contest through Facebook. I’m a freelance free range knitter who loves beautiful yarn.
I subscribe to the mailing list.
I knit for many, many reasons. Everything from being able to make handmade gifts to something to keep me from constant fidgeting if I’m supposed to be sitting still.
I saw this on Facebook. Crocheting, knitting, and other needle crafts mean time for me, stress relief, pain relief, a chance to indulge in creativity, and gifts from the heart, sometimes for myself too!
Hi Chandi. I got into crocheting when I was a kid. I got back into it a year ago when I wanted to do something with my granddaughter so we crochet together when she comes to visit. So it means quality time spent with my granddaughter as well as making fun stuff for family and friends. I saw your give away on your email /newsletter. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Hey, Chandi! Thank you so much for inspiring me! I started crocheting back in December 2014 due to a car accident. I wasn’t able to do much. Crocheting and following your tutorials on YouTube pulled me through a painful time on my life. I was able to disconnect from my pain and turn it into beautiful works of art. Now, Im in the process of making my own website to sell my creations! You give me the hope that anything is possible… With a ball of yarn, of course! Again, thank you for being you and sharing it with the world. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I follow you on Facebook. I hate sitting still and being unproductive so I taught myself to crochet 15 years ago and am currently teaching myself to knit. This way I can enjoy a movie or a tv show and still be productive! Thank you so much for sharing what you know (I have learned lots from your videos and patterns!)
Saw the giveaway on FB, and I’m so glad I did. 🙂 This yarn is gorgeous!
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook!
I first learned to crochet, then to knit. Both through YouTube. I knit more than I crochet now (easier on my wrists). It relaxes me, soothes me, de-stresses me. I love the way yarn looks in skeins and hanks. I love the way it feels. I love everything about this craft! It makes me happy, inside and out 🙂
I found this giveaway as a suggested post on Facebook. Which means I’ve clearly been looking at yarn and patterns much more than my dissertation work. 🙂
Crafting, and knitting more specifically, to me is a way to slow myself down. A way to step back from my work(which centers around violence) and take care of myself. Knitting is my present to myself. I make things for myself and those I love. It’s my way of keeping a piece of myself for only myself. Working in a field centered around violence it can be easy to give away all of yourself. Holding onto yarn is holding on to myself.
All the way up in Alberta, Canada and it’s starting to get cold! All this beautiful squishy would help keep me happy and warm. Love all your pictures in my Newsfeed.
Hi! I saw your ad on fb. I learned to crochet in 7th grade, lo these many years ago… I keep wanting to take up quilting, but then I see another crochet pattern or new yarn and, well, quilting is put to the side again. Darn. 😉 Anyway, I mostly crochet prayer shawls and scarves and afghany type things, but I’m always looking for new stitches and new ways of playing. I teach at a local JoAnn’s and have had all sorts of fun with that. Both kids and adults. I love what crochet has brought to my life and the ways I can give back with it.
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook from a friend. I learned to knit and crochet from my grandmother, and I find it so relaxing! I have been knitting since I was a child and love it!
I saw the contest on Facebook. I love to knit and crochet and have been doing both for over 50 years. I love to do lace knitting and I’m imagining all the beautiful cowls, scarves and shawls I can make with this gorgeous yarn.
A friend of mine shared your site on FB and I fell in love with the colors, so I had to come over and see! I am a truly left handed knitter who spent nearly 20 years trying to learn how. Knitting is my escape, particularly lace knitting. I love doing lace n beads. Then again, I adore creating extremely cute monsters too 🙂 The knitting part is my escape, but what comes off my needles rarely stays with me. I tend to knit things to gift the unsuspecting. Thank you for sharing your lovelies!
I saw this on Facebook. I love any craft where I use my hands, crocheting, knitting, sewing, quilting, scrapbooking, the list goes on and on. I am looking for some sock yarn to make a beautiful shawl.
Hi! I’m Cassie and I’m from Minnesota. I get your emails and follow you on Pinterest. I have been a knitter/crocheter for 12 years and to me, it’s the way I unwind (litereally LOL), give people personal gifts, and keep my mind sharp learning to make new things. I’m a yarn snob and I just LOVE pretty, unique, fancy yarns, and that’s what caught my eye.
I found it on pinterest and had to come check you out.
Beautiful! Saw it on fb can’t wait to win. Lol!
I’m looking into interesting fibres for my newest passion, weaving, and this looks LOVELY!
I’ve been following your Facebook page for awhile. I love the beautiful colors you use and the pictures you use for inspiration. Knitting and crocheting have been part of my life for over 60 years. I was taught by my mother and she also taught my younger cousin. Today we still share our love of knitting and creating through the internet even though we live far apart.
I saw your giveaway on FB. I’ve always loved playing with yarn. Used to crochet as a pre-teen…I made a series of vegetables. I learned to knit 4 years ago and love feeling fiber between my hands again. I knit as a way to whittle the time away in the airport and the airplane since I fly almost every week for work. I’ve been able to knit a lot of charity hats! Especially with delays! 🙂
Crocheting and knitting ground me. They are my north. I learned to crochet before I was in school–my aunt taught me to chain, my grandmother made heirloom doilies, my first two afghans were complete before I was out of high school. Lots of memories. Another aunt taught me to knit in the couple of years before my husband left me. When I was at my lowest, I had my friends (and my aunt!) from my knitting circle. They held me up. They kept me moving forward when my son needed me.
I actually found out about this giveaway from Pinterest. I love the yarn you creat- the colours are amazing. I’m new to knitting so having such beautiful yarn to use gives you an extra push to keep trying new projects. It feels so soft and lovely to hold while making up a project. And I honestly can’t say enough about the colours and options- gorgeous ?
Absolutely gorgeous yarn! Crocheting has gotten me through a lot of rough patches in my life and sometimes is the main reason I smile during the day. Creating something out of nothing but a hook and some string makes me feel so accomplished.
I learned to knit about 50 years ago and in recent years, it has become a method of meditation and therapy for me. I usually no longer stress over whether something fits or not. I do my best with gauge and then I think “well, it will fit somebody.” 😉
I started knitting when I was 17, all of a sudden. My mum helped me with the basics, and i went from there.
I don’t always knit, as I have many creative things going on, but when I haven’t done it for a while, I get the itch. I’m always looking at patterns & yarns though, it’s so exciting! I get such a rush from it! I have a pretty large collection of knitting mags & books….and now bookmarks on my ipad. Knitting is something I will always love.
I heard about this fabulous giveaway through Facebook.
Picking up knitting again in January 2013 – after my Nana had taught me 38 years before – helped me to recuperate after being diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2012. After staying so positive and upbeat throughout my surgery and radiation, the reality of it all hit me when all that was through, and I needed to find a way to cope with the stress. Having those needles and yarn in my hands again after all those years, really made a difference in my peace of mind, and I felt like my late Nana was guiding me along the way.
This popped up on my Facebook feed and I couldn’t resist signing up! The colors in this giveaway are spectacular. My mother taught me how to crochet, and I’ve been making gifts for friends and family for years now. I find that crochet and knitting are very soothing, and when I’m stressed I reach for the yarn!
I found out about this giveaway through pinterest. After I graduate from undergrad school I fall into depression because of stressful job hunting. I feel myself was totally useless. During that time I really love Japanese character Rilakkuma and of course being unemployed I can’t afford to buy any of rilakkuma goodies. I accidentally stumbled upon blogpost about free pattern of rilakkuma amigurumi. Since then I work really hard to learn how to crochet by watching crochet tutorial video in youtube. Although it take almost a month to master the technique I really proud of myself after I succeeded finished my first amigurumi project. After that I become more positive have more self confident. I love how by crochet and knit we can turn yarn into anything ^^
I found you through a group on Facebook. I took a look at what you had to offer and was impressed. I am a fiberholic having dabbled in any craft that involves touching and feeling fibres. Spinning, weaving, felting, crochet, knitting, embroidery, quilting, silk painting and lots of other things that I can get my hands on. Can’t wait to browse more of your patterns.
Saw your yarn giveaway on Facebook…. Beautiful colors!!!! I Would love to try your yarn in a weaving project…
Such a generous prize of beautiful yarns! Knitting, to me, is a way of keeping my hands busy, finding peace and balance in my life, and keeping my loved ones warm and cozy. It is a useful and practical expression of my creativity. I love everything about knitting!
I saw your blog on fb. I have been knitting for 50 yrs. and in that time their has been a huge change in yarn. I enjoy the old and the new and will continue to knit as long as the hands stay healthy. I believe all that knitting has kept my hands moving easily.
I heard about this from Facebook. Knitting is my passion. My mother taught me when I was 8 with a ball of string & 2 sharp pencils. I also crochet too. Right now I’m addicted to making shawls. I love all the pretty colours of yarn especially bright colours & gradient.
I found your videos on You Tube while teaching myself to crochet. They were tremendously helpful!!!!! I hope to turn my love of crocheting into a small part time business to help pay off some debts.
I saw this on facebook. I absolutely love these colors. I am a constant knitter. What more can I say?
i love to crochet! I find it to be very relaxing in a somewhat stressful life. I also love to see a completed project and feel that sense of accomplishment.
Happy Rainy Wednesday Chandi!!! Hope all is well with you 🙂 I just love getting your newsletter each week, which is where I heard about this months’ promotion. I love all things yarn! I’ve been crocheting since I was 7-8 when my Mom taught me. She is left-handed and I’m right-handed, so I remember having to sit in front of her and mirror what she was doing LOL. Crocheting has always meant FAMILY to me. Something so special that my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and even great great-grandmother would do together. When my daughter was old enough, I put yarn and needles in her hands too! She is now 14 and whipping out a C2C Dr Who CAL LOL! My favorite times are when her and I cuddle of up the couch in the evenings and pull out our projects! I learned to knit 3 years ago by a dear friend via Skype! We lived thousands of miles apart, but had coffee and knitted every morning online. She passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly over a month ago, and I still try to message her every morning with my coffee and knitting needles in hand. So in a nutshell, crafting is all about friends, family, and honoring and remembering those that came before us or those we lost. We need to carry on this wonderful craft for future generations!
I love it when your posts come across my facebook newsfeed.
Such gorgeous yarns and great contests.
Hi, saw this giveaway on FB and just wanted to thank you for your generosity. I am a knitter and very new crocheter, to me knitting equals stress relief and tons of fun stuff. I recently knit my 9 y/o daughter her first pair of socks and she loves them.
I fallow u on facebook, You tube and pinterest….I love to crochet it’s fun and creative…I am now trying to learn knitting and that’s how I found your you tube video that help me get started also it renewed my interest in everything yarn related, making my own…. I most interested in using recycled materials such as plarn and t shirt yarn…..I will one day start making my own yarn too…….love it love it all!! 🙂
Totally Awesome giveaway and very Beautiful colors. Would love to try some on a baby blanket I’m getting ready to do for my daughter, who’s due in May… ❤
I heard about the giveaway from your Facebook post. I love that I can crochet gifts for the people I love.
I saw this post on Pinterest and I love crocheting and trying new patterns!!
I found this giveaway on a facebook knitting group that I joined (through our love of all things Outlander) I started out only being able to do the most basic k, p patterns. Now, my 9 year old daughter and I have been going to the library to meet with a knitting club and have learned so much. My daughter then went on to start a knitting group at her school! They make little knit stocking caps and scarves and put them in a “free box” at school so that other kids that dont have hats for recess can grab one! I was so proud of her. I think this would be a great treat for her to knit with something this beautiful.
Thanks for the great giveaways!
I found out about this amazing giveaway via Facebook while I was procrastinating on my day off. I first learned to knit in elementary school from one of my teachers. There was a knitting club and everything. I recently rekindled my love for it in my post secondary years. It’s so relaxing and therapeutic. Plus, I love giving stuff I’ve made to people! It’s a very rewarding feeling watching your friends and family ooh and aah over your handmade craft.
I am always so inspired when I visit your site.
I love the way you show your yarns.
My grandmother crocheted beautiful curtains and tablecloths for so many years, until a stroke took that all away.
She taught me, despite a language barrier, the basic stitches. I never caught on to the fancy work, but the basics stuck.
She’d have crocheted blankets and things for all us grandchildren (and now a half-dozen great-grandchildren) if she could. So I am, and I’d like to think she smiles favourable on me for continuing the craft.
I saw the give-away on Facebook. I am always on the lookout for yarn. These colors are my favorites. I would love to use them for an upcoming project. I love to knit!
I saw it on Instagram!
What a wonderful giveaway. Knitting for me is a form of relaxation.
Saw your yarn giveaway in a post in my email!
I found this giveaway through your newsletter.
Crochet and loom knitting are a way to relax and unwind while creating beautiful and useful items for myself and others.
By the way, I accidentally put my twitter name into the Pinterest box. My Pinterest name is Kathleen!
I heard about the giveaway through the Expression Fiber Arts email a few minutes ago. 😉 Knitting and crocheting are my way of expressing what creativity I have, and of keeping from going totally insane from my job! (As for yarn…I may be really weird, but I always like to smell new yarn that I get. The fact that it never has a noticeable smell has not discouraged me yet. Maybe I am just weird…;-)) The colors in the giveaway are lovely!!!
Thanks for the email about the contest!! Fingers crossed!!
I got this in an email. I always love to see your stuff. It brightens my day.
I heard about your amazing giveaway through your newsletter. My grandmother used to crochet and she passed away when I was very young. There was nobody in my family who was able to teach me so I taught myself to make handmade gifts for loved ones. I just started watching your super cute videos on how to knit, as this is the next craft I would love to learn. Thanks for the giveaway, the cute tutorial videos, and the gorgeous yarn that I drool over.
I love knitting, but am a pensioner, and have to save up my money to make a purchase, which I have managed a couple of times and I have to say your yarns and the colours you dye them are magnificent. In the very near future I will have saved enough to make another purchase (I also have to save to pay the freight, because I live in Australia). So thank you for offering this generous prize!
I saw this from the email newsletter…. I both crochet and knit… it’s my relax time. Mostly in the evenings after work. Great stress reliever…
received an email about your giveaway, I’m sure it is on my facebook page as well. I learned to knit first as a child from my grandmother, then years later I learned again when I was given her knitting needles and patters. So I knit with her always in my heart, it brings me peace and sanity when all else fail’s. I usually have multiple projects going, one for ” I can do this in the dark”, one not quite so simple and one that requires all my attention.I love the feel of yarn in my hands and on my needles
I found out about the giveaway through email. I love to knit because it’s relaxing. And I love to make things for friends and family. I love everything about knitting.
I read about the giveaway in your email newsletter . I love to knit and weave.
Heard about the giveaway via e-mail – I crochet, I’m a newbie to it but I absolutely love it. It relaxes me and gives me a sense of accomplishment when I finish a project. I also love being able to give these beautiful items to my friends and family.
I get your newsletter and that is how I heard about the give away. To me knitting is an expression of creative freedom. I am not artistic in many ways (stick figures are even a struggle) but with knitting I can make these amazingly beautiful and delicate things and it makes my whole world better.
I came here via a friend who linked on Facebook, but holy cow, you have some GORGEOUS YARN!!!!!!
Love the colors!!! Love the yarns!!! So many ideas to use this wonders…
Amazing giveaway,thank you for the opportunity!
I heard about it your newsletter.
Would love to win, so I can make some hats and gloves for the family!

I know how to knit but I mainly crochet. My favorite time to crochet is fitting class, when I need to keep my hands busy while listening to the teacher. One can never have too much yarn.
I learned about this from an email you sent me. Yes, I’m on your email list! Your yarn is beautiful, and your husband is a fabulous photographer! Thanks!
I love all your colours. I knit and crochet to relax and pass the time now that I am retired.
I heard about the giveaway in the email you sent with information about it and dyeing yarn with kool aid. I do lots of hand crafts. They help me relax and unwind. I also have the inability to sit and focus without doing something with my hands, so knitting and crocheting really help with that.
Saw this on your email newsletter. Knitting is my sanity, it allows me to complete gorgeous garments and accessories, gift them to people, and fondle gorgeous yarn!
I saw this giveaway in your email and responded via the link – I’ve been knitting since I was a kid, my grandmother and mother helped me, even my college roommates and friends remember the slippers that were my fave back then to make! Nowadays I knit socks (in the round, easy!) and scarves and shawls and I’m learning more about cables these days, I like to knit basic sweaters, love setting in sleeves and seams, good busy work and a lot like sewing which I used to do a lot!! Love your yarns and your colors are really extraordinary – I don’t think I have one favorite tho’ 🙂
I knit and crochet because it let’s me make something useful while also providing something relaxing to do with my hands and distracting for my mind after a long day at work. Also, it’s my justification for watching television shows of dubious merit.
I am a young disabled mother of a special needs child and I crochet to relax and it also relaxes my son. I am currently trying to learn knitting, but am having a little bit of difficulty as my wrists get more sore than with crocheting. I am not giving up as it helps with the arthritis. I just love your yarn but am not able to purchase on a limited income. Winning would be wonderful as I could then try one or a few of your patterns.
I heard about this giveaway in my Expressions Fiber Arts email newsletter. I don’t personally crochet, but a good friend of mine does and it means a lot to her. She makes beautiful blankets and clothing items that she gives as gifts. If I win this amazing yarn package I will be gifting it to her, my favorite crocheter. Thank you for the chance to win.
Hi!! Saw your newest yarn giveaway in your email. It sounds like a fantastic prize!! I am from Montana, but live in Idaho now. My mom taught me how to knit dishclothes when I was 5 years old. It was knitting only, so I did not have to purl. Later, I taught myself to purl and have taken off from there. I belong to a knitting group called the Knotty Girls. We have lots of fun sharing our projects. It would be wonderful to win this fabulous prize of yarn and other things for knitting. Thanks for the opportunity!!
I heard about the giveaway via email 🙂 Crochet and knitting are like comfort therapy for me! Love doing both.
Gorgeous yarn! Fingers crossed that I win! Thank you Chandi! 🙂
First let me tell you how much I enjoy those beautiful photographs, they are an artwork on their own. Have you ever considered selling some of the inspiration pictures on their own? As for the yarn, I hate it! No not really, it’s just that now I’m going to hate going back to my yarn stash/hoard. I recently purchased some and the words that come to mind are luscious, luxurious, sensual… just having it pass through my fingers is heavenly. I’m planning on making some lovelies for my friend up north. She is still dealing with the effects of surgery for cancer, (in her mouth,) so you can imagine what the cold does to her. The softness of this yarn I’m sure will feel nice next to her skin. If I may take a moment to go off topic, please make sure your dentist screens for oral cancer, hers didn’t and it wasn’t found until early stage 3. The screening only takes a few minutes, is non-invasive and causes no pain or discomfort to the patient.
I’m on your email list, and I heard about your giveaway through that.
I crochet because it’s a way to express my creativity. It’s something I can do to keep my hands busy and results in something pretty. It can a form of meditation for me, allowing me to empty my mind of all my worries and focus solely on the yarn, the stitches, and the pattern. I love the different textures and colors I can find in yarn. I’ve found just being around yarn makes a noticeable, positive difference in my mood and playing with it can help keep my depression for flaring out of control.
Thank you for doing this. I love the colors of this month’s giveaway.
Who can resist yummy yarns, and dyeing your own. I love the gradients you have.
I saw the give away through my emailed newsletter. Beautiful color ways, would love to win these!
I got notified on my email, love to have yarn to share. !!!!
Looks sooooo touchable and yummy!
I followed this URL https://blog.expressionfiberarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/DSC_9054.jpg from a google image search while looking for yarnspiration. Fiber arts for me are an escape from the frantic pace of everything else in life and love the number of charities and charitable projects you can get involved in while doing something you enjoy.
Your yarn is lovely
Your patterns, so sweet.
Knitting is therapy,
Crocheting a treat.
Needles and hooks
And skeins by the score.
It’s never enough.
I’m ready for more 😉
I heard about this through your newsletter. I crochet and it is my life. I am disabled, and it gives me something to do to feel constructive. Plus, it is fun and relaxing.
I just recently found your website this last week while looking for easy patterns to crochet for Christmas presents. The colors that you have are absolutely fantastic! And I love the ones you have chosen! I look forward to your emails with new ideas to try. Thank you for sharing with us!
Amazing colours. I saw this on my newsletter. I crochet mostly non-stop… my grandmother tought me when i was a child.
Hi Chandi!
I am a new knitter and have absolutely LOVED your site. It’s beautiful. Knitting has meant so much in my life. I am a mother of three (10, 8 and 2) AND we are expecting twin boys this March. When my daughter was six months old my husband and I decided I would leave my career in teaching and be a stay-at-home mom. As any woman would agree, it is hard to leave what you have known for so long (that has consumed your life) and find something just for you. It’s been a couple years and while I love spending my days raising my kids I have needed something just for me that will also bless my family. Knitting is it. Not to mention, when I just cannot be on my feet anymore! You were actually the first video I watched and actually learned from! So much so that my son got interested, watched your video as well and is now making his first scarf! It has really brought us together in a way I did not think could happen. Gotta love those videos right?! I saw this giveaway through the newsletter in my e-mail and thought I would try. 😉 Off to knit hats for my twins!
I seen the giveaway on Pinterest. I have cancer and crocheting is the way I deal with the depression and stress of the treatment. It works for me and keeps me busy and not thinking about my health. Thanks for sharing. Fingers Crossed!
~Crystal
I heard about your wonderful giveaway from your newsletter. I can’t imagine a day without knitting. I get such a sense of peace spending time with needles and yarn in my hands. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I found this site thru Facebook, then got an email for this contest. I ordered some mashups & cant wait for it to come in. I want to knit or crochet a shawl.
As usual; I came here via your email notification. What my handicrafts mean to me? Comfort tbh, they’re relaxing and help clear my mind.
Love all the blues!
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. Knitting is my therapy, it really helps reduce stress and anxiety. Every time I finish an item I feel like everything is finally falling into place, that this too shall pass and turn into a good thing. Thank you for this giveaway! 🙂
I received your email + saw the contest on facebook. I am an avid knitter and love good yarn and fabulous color.
I am subscribed to your newsletter and a customer. I think it’s all very gorgeous!
Hi. I got your email about this month’s giveaway. The yarns look spectacular. I crochet for my family, both the projects and their sanity. Crochet gives me a place to express my artistic side without dragging everyone through several thousand color swatches hanging in every room. What color are we painting this room next? Everyone finds my crocheting easier on the nerves.
I got an email about this fabulous giveaway! I love your yarns ❤
I love to knit and would love to use some of your yarn.
Love the colors! I learned to crochet when I was in 4th grade from my mom. Even tho I’m much better now than I was then (tho not really all that much better!), it’s a way for me to connect with my past and to simply enjoy the small pleasures of life.
I saw this from the e mails you send out. Knitting means realaxing and having warm snuggly socks, and spinning means being able to shout “YES, I MADE THIS”
I absolutely love all the yarn in this giveaway. I read about the giveaway on Twitter. It was posted by someone who just started following me. I saw it when I got notified of the new follower and checked out they’re page.
thank you! looks amazing!
I found the contest on the newslatter in my email. I love to crochet – it relaxes me and my grandchildren love their gifts
i saw it on facebook and also a subscriber i love to crochet knit and latch hook it just really a relaxing time for me takes me away from day to day problems its like i am in another world when i am doing my projects i love it
I read about this giveaway in your newsletter. Knitting is my artistic expression and a way to give wonderful, loving gifts to my friends and family. This months giveaway contains my FAVORITE clorways and I so hope to win this time. I am currently knitting baby blankets for parents of newborn Down’s Syndrome babies. You come up with such beautiful colors…I love my purchases from your site.
I’d love to crochet something with these beautiful colors. Your color selections are wonderful. I work with stained glass too and it’s interesting to me the color phases I go through. How we are drawn to certain colors over others. I’m a blog follower. Winning this yarn would go a long way to helping me get through another long, cold winter in northern Vermont.
I heard about this through my email, i get your newsletters but i also follow you on Facebook. I love your yarns, they are beautiful. I am disabled with systematic lupus and unable to work. It means alot to my friends and family that i can knit and crochet, because without being able to do those activities they would not receive gifts. I love to do both, but i perfer the look of knit item, but if i need something fast i crochet it. I learned to knit and crochet about 12 yrs ago from my mother in law who has since passed away, it helps me to think of her and those family members also know that without her they would not be receiving the gift so it is all that more meaningful. We are renewing our vows in January and i want to purchase 2 skeins of Pearl for a caplet to go with my dress. I cant wait to have enough to order it. But i would love to win the October give away with the wonderful yarn and the book, i absolutely love to knit cables!!!!! Thank you for making your wonderful yarn and i love your story of how it all came about!
I received an email about the giveaway and I immediately jumped to it! I crochet almost every day and it brings me such peace. Ever since my son was born, I have avidly been learning new stitches, trying different patterns and making different items for my family. I honestly could not imagine going without for even a day! And now because I have been working on so many different projects even my in laws have been asking for different projects. To me, Crocheting isn’t just about being able to relax and take my mind off things, it’s about being able to bring a smile to my son’s, fiance`’s, and everyone in my family’s faces.
There is NO ONE out there better than your products Chandi. Love everything I see. It’s the time of year again when it’s cooling down and I’ve been working on knitting some fingerless gloves. Your products are amazing and hopefully one of these days I’ll win one of these contests and be able to snag some of these beautifully dyed yarns. I am in Oregon and am a member of your Newsletter List and follow you on every social network that you belong to. I think I found you in a search for hand dyed yarns but it’s been well over a year ago – maybe 2 since I’ve been following you. I wish I was a faster knitter so I could just churn out all the lovely patterns you have been so generous to share with us.
I heard about this through your newsletter. I crochet. It means a LOT to me. I am disabled and crocheting makes feel feel productive. Plus, it is fun and relaxing.
I found your give away in the email you sent out. Your colour expressions are absolutely fabulous. They are incredibly true to your pictures. I would love to win any one of your gorgeous yarns!
I heard about this give-away from an e-mail sent to me. Just started following you and love your yarns. Hopefully the ones I ordered will come soon. I’m impatiently waiting. Watched one of your videos on You Tube; now I now how to wind a center pull ball WITHOUT a swift and ball winder. Yea!!!!!!
You make the prettiest yarns! I found out about this giveaway via your email list, but I also follow you on Facebook and Twitter. (And kudos to the photographer — you two must be quite the team!) I started knitting 10 years ago to do something artsy and relaxing. A little bit behind on my holiday gifts due to a shoulder injury. Knitter, heal thyself!
I love crocheting and knitting, hats, sweter, now something for my firsth granddaugther Nieves.
I heard about the giveaway via email. I am new to knitting and love the experience of creating something. I also love that feeling of accomplishment during a project.
I received this great news by e-mail. Well, knitting has been my hobby for the last 5 yrs, it has been wonderfull to look at amazing designs and yarns, there is no day where I dont look trough blogs, patterns and whatever comes through my sight. I dont consider myself and avid knitter nor proffessional, but I love all that has to do with it. Im looking forward , someday, to become a designer.
I heard about this giveaway through e-mail. To me, knitting is still having my grandmother sitting next to me teaching me how, feeling a beautiful gift growing in my hands, and being able to share something that I have made with someone I love. Your yarns are gorgeous!
Just got the eMail about this and the colors are gorgeous…… I’m an advocate for the Health Benefits of knitting & crocheting! Can you guess that it helped me get though some major illnesses and treatments? I’ve purchased your yarn before and loved every minute of working with it.
Hey I got reminded about the giveaway through email, but of course I saw it on Facebook first. I absolutely love the purples and teals this month! It always means so much to me to be able to do something I love and to pass on the items I make to the people I love. I want them to feel how much they are cared for whenever they wear what I’ve given them. Knitting is my stress relief at the end of the day and I couldn’t ask for a better hobby.
I first heard about your beautiful yarn on Facebook. I would make something beautiful as a Christmas gift. I have never bought such lovely yarn and would love to try it.
Love, love your yarn! I’ve been a fan for awhile and as my skills improve, I am finding the yarn makes a big difference. Your yarn is fabulous and I’ve shared it with many of my friends.
Ah! Heard about this from the email Newsletter! Crocheting and knitting are my passion! (And I recently started spinning!) I give a lot of what I make to women’s shelters so that they and their children can be warm! I also volunteer teaching these women the same hobby so that they can make money!
I got the email about the giveaway. Crocheting is a way to use my creativity to share my love with my friends and family members. 😀
I heard about your giveaway through your email to me. Your yarns are so beautiful!!
I saw your giveaway in my newsletter. I mostly knit but have been known to crochet, smock, quilt, needlepoint and hook rugs, mostly for relaxation and because I love anything fiber. These are really wonderful colours in your giveaway.
Thanks for sharing such wonderful inspiration and always finding the coolest prizes.
I heard about this from already being a subscriber to your blog 🙂 I love to both crochet and knit, and these hobbies help me to keep my sanity in this busy world, between being a mom and a wife and working outside of the home all day! And I also justify it to my hubby as my post-apocalypse skills 🙂
I am obsessed with beautiful yarn and knitting socks for my loved ones. Would love to win your give away
Just started following you (received an email/newsletter) … Wow, what gorgeous yarn! Knitting is my sanity – I love it! I can crochet too. Anyway, both activities allow the ‘me’ time needed to live with my hubby and 3 teenage sons and their testosterone sports activities.
Hi there! I found your giveaway through your newsletter!
I love to crochet so much, I run a small etsy shop and I sell s couple of my dog items in the small store I work at! It’s more than a hobby to me; I love to create things to give as gifts or wear myself, as well as watch my animals run around in their accessories too! It’s so soothing and I can seriously lose myself in crocheting for hours
I follow all your accounts which is how I heard about this giveaway. Knitting and crocheting to me means so many things. It’s one way I can stay close to my creative side in a very busy and crazy life. It also allows me to be expressive and gives me a sense of purpose by the gifts I like to create.
I received an email from you!
Love all of your yarn. I use it more than any other for all my gifts for friends and family.
Hi Chandi,
I get your email/blogs regularly and this is where I see your monthly yarn giveaways. I live in Canada and it is wonderful to receive my orders of your wool. I have knitted, crocheted and done most yarn crafts since I started at 10 years old. Both my mom and my maternal grandmother taught my sisters and myself to knit and I have never stopped. I love lace knitting with your cashmere lace, exceptional. All crafts and arts keep me relaxed, and I love to give away hand knit socks made with your resilient sock yarn. Thanks, Chandi.
Regards,
Nina
I found out about the giveaway from your email. I have been knitting and crocheting (and other stuff like sewing and quiltin) off and on since I was little. My mother and grandmother knitted and crocheted–Christmas stockings, afghans, clothing. I learned from them. I tried to share with my children, but they wanted no part of it years ago. Now a couple of them have picked up crocheting and/or knitting, though they went to YouTube videos to learn rather than me.
Read about the giveaway in my email. Yarn is my zero calorie indulgence and fiber arts are my passion.
I learned of this fabulous giveaway thru my email of your newsletter. Knitting and crochet, sewing and quilting are all my way of unwinding and de-stressing. As a result, I do A LOT OF IT!!! Having this special yarn in my stash would give me a way to give a very special gift to someone this holiday season!! 😉 😉
I heard about your giveaway from your email. I love your yarns; they are so yummy to work with. I am a knitter and began knitting when I was about 8 years old. I was taught by my mom. My mom cannot knit as much as she used to due to arthritis so I have taken up the slack. Mom teases me that she taught me how to knit but it is not fair as she feels I knit better than her. I have always been a perfectionist and those tendencies are hard to break. If I do not like how an item is looking, I will frog and redo.
For me, knitting is a way of relaxing. It’s a very soothing hobby, with the perfect balance of relaxing repetition and necessary attentiveness. Because of that, I always love seeing your emails, because they always have new yarns to make my creations more beautiful, as well as new patterns that help me constantly create new and unique pieces.
Got your email & came right away to sign up. Love the colors you choose for your yarns. I knit to stay balanced. At times it’s meditative with repetitions; at others I concentrate so much on what I am working on that the world drifts away. Both are refreshing.
I have been Crocheting and Knitting for 50 years or so. Since I was a young girl. My mom and Grandmother taught me. I love both. At times I get tired of doing one and then I go to the other. I knot like I crochet. Continental. I make a lot of the Christmas presents for my Grandchildren.
I found this giveaway in an email you sent to me. I love the colors of these yarns. Knitting is a mindful relaxation technique for me when I get home from a busy day at work, where I’ve been surrounded by people. It calms me to sit quietly and work on a project. I love the feel of the yarn in my hands, and watching the colors move. I make a lot of cowls, and love wearing them. It’s kind of like wearing a hug.
What glorious yarn you have! The colors are absolutely beautiful! I’ve been knitting for many, many years, and I’m still as excited about it as I was at the beginning! I have taught knitting to children (ages 10 and up) and adults, and I’m planning to start a class at our local Girls and Boys Club. I always encourage the boys to sign up for the class, too. It is such a rewarding hobby, and a skill to last a lifetime! I learned about your give-away through your e-mail messages that I receive, and I love reading your blog. I always learn a lot from you and those who participate. Thanks for your generous give-away opportunities!
I love the Teal and Peach!!!
I found out about your generous giveaway from your newsletter. Can’t wait to view your koolaid video.
Hi Chandi!
I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this month’s giveaway! these colors are divine! I’ve been knitting for less than a year, and I found your company through one of your how-to videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONVQCK_-rKc
I first started knitting as a hobby to keep myself busy when my parents went away to Florida for the winter — we live in Halifax, NS, Canada. Boy, oh boy did I get a lot of practice in! We had snowstorm after snowstorm for all of February and March. I was determined to knit Katniss’ herringbone cowl from The Hunger Games Catching Fire, and I did so as my second project! Here’s a link to it: http://novascotiagirl.weebly.com/diys-and-recipes/katniss-cowl
I was so proud of myself for setting such a high goal and achieving it! Now I’m onto some new exciting projects, such as double knitting for the first time, working with more than one strand of yarn at a time, and more! I love teaching myself new stitch techniques (from knitting tutorials on YouTube) so I’ve been sticking with small projects lately. As for my second year of knitting, I’d like to complete my first sweater by this time next year!
I heard about this in my email. I’m a knitter…crochet is still difficult for me. Truth be told, I was jealous of my sister being able to do the beautiful things with crochet. I had tried to learn, and failed years ago to crochet and knitting always looked extremely hard. But, when my sister went and took a knitting class, I couldn’t take it. She always looked like she was enjoying herself so much that I made her show me! Unexpectedly, I took to knitting like ducks to a pond! It was a bonding experience with my sister. Something for us to enjoy together. I get to make great things for the people I love. I get to express my creativity, which was dying for an outlet. I’m less frustrated now. I always felt agitated and never knew why. Apparently I was meant for knitting. I’m happy about that. The funny thing is I used to tease her about her obsession with yarn…now I’m worse than she is! Knitting is a piece of the puzzle of my life that I didn’t know I was missing until I found it. I don’t know how I got along without it for so long.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I love this brand!
I heard about it through the newsletter. For me, knitting/crocheting is a way of relaxing and of keeping my hands busy so I’m not restlessly chewing my nails or such.
Love cables and the colors are to dye for.
Ewe Rock Chandi.
C-A
I heard about this giveaway in the email newsletter I receive. What a lovely giveaway opportunity.
Weaving was my first experience in fiber arts, and I’ve been doing it since 8 years old. I’m currently learning how to knit and crochet. I love looking at these yarns and marveling over the lovely color ways!
I heard about this giveaway through my email. I just started crocheting and I’ve been working on a baby blanket for my 5 month old son.
I learned how to knit when I was 5 years old. It is just apart of my daily routine. I really enjoy knitting , for myself and my children and grandchildren. I no longer work do to an injury that occurred at work, so I am now retired. This allows me to do lots of knitting . I also am doing some knitting for the women’s shelter in our community, this is part of our craft class at our town library. We are doing this for our Christmas drive. So lately I have been knitting socks. I would love to win this giveaway, I would put some of the yarns/wools towards knitting for the Women’s shelter. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Saw the giveaway in your newsletter. love the colors. You always come up with such interesting and beautiful color combinations.
I heard about the contest via facebook. I love the yarn colors! knitting and crocheting are ways for me to show people that I love them and I’m thinking about them.
Hey, my names Heather. Heard about this through my emails. I LOVE yarn, my step mom showed me how to do a single stitch and from there I went onto YouTube and learn more as well as how to read patterns. I finished my first blanket in 4-1/2 to 5 months. I’ve been making little amigurumi dolls (stuffed creations) and selling them to make extra cash for food. Since I started crocheting it helped me quit smoking, and it’s been great. I also know how to knit thanks to you and your videos which is awesome :3 thanks again. Best of luck on the raffle (lol hope I get it one of those times). It’s amazing.
I heard about it through your newsletter. I would love to knit and crochet some shawls!
I heard about the giveaway via email and I use knitting and crocheting as a way to relax. I also love being able to make gifts for friends and family.
I heard about this giveaway through your email newsletter! I started crocheting when I was eight and took it up again in college, and have since then fallen in love with yarn!
I took up knitting as a diversion while recovering from major surgery. It has brought my newest best friends into my life and so much joy. I think I found Chandi from Facebook and I’m on the mailing list! Please pick me!!!
Received this giveaway notification because I subscribe to your blog and I also follow you on facebook. Love, love, love your yarns. Hope to win this sampler.
Hey! Heard about this giveaway from Your Newsletter via email! Knitting is to me a way to express myself. It is an amazing feeling when you’ve created something beautiful, something colourful, something warm and of course something useful as well. It is heartwarming how people react when they get a soft gift created just for them, with love! It is the best feeling ever to see that gratitude, when they have really needed or just wanted something and when they realize that what they get, is even better than what they had dreamd!
Heard via newsletter… this giveaway overlaps my birthday so I hope I win 😀
Crochet and knitting are a tactile way for me to relax, and a method of creative expression that I can still do despite mobility restrictions. Plus, I now have a niecelet I can make things for 😀
I heard about this give away from your blog email.
Knitting/crocheting is my therapy. It’s my way of relaxing and creating something while doing it is an added bonus.
Love the colors you create!
I learned about this through my email subscription.being able to create something beautiful and useful from yarn is my therapy.Thanks so very much for sharing.
I love receiving your letters in my e-mail. I never delete them until after I’ve had a chance to read your cheerful commentary and see the wondorous yarn you have this time. I’ve crocheted since high school (we’ll pretend that was just a few years ago.) While in Scotland with my Navy husband I taught myself to read patterns in both British and American versions. I give my creations to family and friends. And now (finally!) I crochet for my grandchildren.
Hi Chandi! Heard about this month’s giveaway via email. Such beautiful yarns! And a book to boot! My two favorites 🙂 Knitting gives me a creative outlet to help others . . . baby and chemo hats for the local hospital, warm hats and mittens for local school children, prayer shawls for those who need an extra hug . . . there are lots of opportunities.
I heard about this giveaway from the source…your newsletter
Love your yarns and these look so rich and scrumptious. Someone is going to be very happy.
Your yarns are magnificent, the colors are gorgeous. My brother does photography and seeing your yarns and photos is a truly exciting experience. You are so talented. I want to order some of each color. Thank you for bringing your talent to such exciting yarns.
I found the giveaway on Facebook. Your colors and patterns are lovely ,knitting is so relaxing.
I followed the link in the newsletter email I got today.
I loom knit and pin loom weave. Since I can’t work, I have to occupy myself somehow. Also, I easily get over-stimulated, and a simple activity really helps me to work through the episode. It distracts me so that I can just let the episode pass without worrying about it and making it worse. Activities including Zentangle and those using yarn have helped me to keep my sanity.
I’m a new knitter but already learning light lacework and many new stitches. My joy in knitting is because of the feeling of gratitude for the sense of touch. The way a yarn feels, working different needles, and the warmth of a knitted project feels wonderful. Knitting is also about gifting something handmade, so right now, I’m knitting a baby blanket for my soon to be born niece and a shawl for my mom.
Hi Chandri-I’ve been following you for awhile from way down in NZ>>>>love your gorgeous yarns/colours/combos. I am a keen knitter/crocheter/sewer/patchworker/ and all other things crafty. Well, give it a go anyway>>>and often come up with things to make with GC. Crafts are therapeutic, rewarding, and a sanity saving past time for me. It’s a wonderful gesture on your part to offer up giveaways, and I just love the combo you have put together for this Fingers Xd 🙂
I heard about this giveaway from your email newsletter. I enjoy crocheting because it’s relaxing and it’s a great sense of accomplishment to be able to create something and give someone a handmade gift.
These yarns are beautiful!! I saw the link on facebook, after my mom had liked the post.
Knitting, to me, is a family tradition. My mother taught me to knit when I was four, at the same time that she was teaching me to read. We’ve knitted together for almost seventeen years now, and we design knitted socks and shawls together. She is my inspiration, and without the peace and creative expression that she has given me through knitting, I would not be who I am today. Knitting is part of who I am, and is a binding thread that’s woven throughout my precious relationship with my best friend – my mother.
If I won this gorgeous yarn, I’d definitely give it to her. It’s even her favorite color!
I get your emails and I sit and just drool over these luscious beauties! I just found your site a few weeks ago and can’t wait to save up for special yarn just for me!
I receive your newsletter/emails. I love seeing the beautiful fibers you create.
Fiber arts is a method for breaking away from my day job, which is highly technical and not often very creative. It is a chance to unwind and let my brain relax.
Found this on Facebook. I love the textures of knitting.
I love your yarn! So gorgeous!
I found out about the giveaway from your weekly email. I love yarn….its beauty and texture and the wonderful things I can make with it that make me feel more creative than I really am! Crocheting is my relaxation and makes me feel good because 99% of what I make I give away to my friends and family.
I love to get your emails and learned about the giveaway from this weeks email.
I’m a subscriber and a fan. Got the newsletter and ran to sign up 🙂
Knitting is my sanity, my meditation and creative outlet.
I received an email from Chandi ~ Expression Fiber Arts [email protected] – I feel comforted when I knit or crochet even though I can get frustrated with knotted yarn or a flabbed stitch
I got word of this giveaway from my email from you! I find your yarns so lovely to use! I like using it for scarfs and cowls. I’d love to make a second champagne cowl!
I saw this via the newsletter! 🙂
Gorgeous Yarn… I heard about the giveaway from your subscription e-mail I receive. I love knitting and it is especially helpful in keeping my mind occupied when I have to wait while my disabled son has his procedures done. It really is relaxing and for the most part forgiving when you make errors due to not paying close attention.
Thanks for the chance.
I’ve been entering this giveaway for months now. Don’t suspect I will ever win, but it has the desired effect: I keep returning to check out what new things Chandi has been up to!
I saw the giveaway in an email that you sent out. I crochet, I tried knitting but just could’t relax with it and crocheting I can do that. What crocheting means to me is peacefulness, purposefulness and the thought that I am leaving heirlooms around for friends and family to enjoy for generations. Thanks for the chance at winning something!!! ?
I saw this contest on both your blog and Facebook. I absolutely love the colors of the yarn – they remind me of my happy place, the beach! My craft is knitting but I’m thinking about taking a crochet class soon. I find that knitting relaxes me and is a temporary getaway from my fast-paced life and soothes my frenzied mind. Very inexpensive therapy, for sure!
Love th November giveaway colors!!!!!
I heard about this giveaway from your emails. I love yarn of any kind. I make all kinds of different patterns for my family and friends to have and enjoy.
I saw your giveaway by email. I started knitting because I wanted to knit a blanket for my daughter before she was born. I find knitting calming and it’s actually fun~! These are gorgeous colours that you are giving away. :3
I saw the giveaway in the newsletter. I’m an art teacher, and was upset for years that I don’t have time to create art. There is no time pull out the colored pencils, focus and clean up. I don’t have a kiln so that I can play with clay. Crochet, however, lets me create functional pieces that I can create while interacting with my family. I don’t give up family time and still make stuff. It’s a win-win.
Oh so beautiful!!!
What a beautiful giveaway and I cqn’t believe that the amazing wool is in my colour pallet. Any wool that makes me want to caress it is a must have. Just have to save the pennies. I have been a reader of your blog for a wee while now. Thanks for bringing such an amazingly vibrant and harmonious pallet to bring to life.
I saw the announcement about the giveaway in my email newsletter.
I’m a knitter; I learned when I was just out of grad school, I believe. I was poor & needed ideas for easy/cheap Christmas gifts. My mom, an expert knitter, was making lovely washcloths out of fancy cotton and pairing them with fancy soaps for some of her Christmas gifts. I thought this was brilliant! Umm…never gave a single one of the washcloths…none came out square. LOL. I did successfully make a felted hat for myself, which is my go-to hat to this day. So I did learn eventually. 🙂
I heard about the contest in the latest newsletter. I love your yarn colors!
Found out about this from you email
The yarns look oh so colorful and beautiful !
I heard about this giveaway through the ExpressionFiberArt’s email subscription. I had already subscribed to it few months back after finding about a Red Heart Yarn giveaway on FB.
Not getting my hopes up very high to win this thing as I have already tried to enter in 3-4 giveaways earlier, and of course I have never won any 🙁
The difference between few months back and now is that NOW I am a proud owner of crochet needles (Susan Bates – both Silvalume and Steelite)! Yes – I soooo want to start crocheting without any further delay! I have read so much about it over the internet and through YouTube tutorials! I am dying to try and learn crocheting – but of course I am taking bay steps towards it. I got the hook sets first – and NOW I REALLY REALLY want some experts to give me the yarn! Although I have read so much about yarn types too, I am still not very confident when I walk into a Walmart or Target store. There are just sooo many lovely yarns to choose from and I always get lost on what kind or color yarn should I buy to just get started!
That’s why I want to win THIS giveaway and few more to just help me get started – within a low budget!
I follow you on FB and I knit for peace, sanity and productivity while I raise my two young daughters.
I found about this wonderful giveaway on your newsletter! I started crocheting couple of months ago and it feels like… I finally found a long lost piece of myself. A way to create something. Feeling accomplished but also challenged. And the yarn that you sell.. Just looking at the beautiful photos make my fingers twitch. Yesterday I showed the photos to my husband saying this is the way yarn needs to be advertised!! Good luck everyone and lots of love! 🙂
Chandi and Hubby, Thanks for the chance at the give-a-way, I have been reading your post via email for quite a time. I honestly cannot remember how I stumbled upon the jewel of your site. but your emails are always very beautiful and uplifting.
I learned about the giveaway from your weekly email. Knitting is relaxing, creative, and challenging and usually results in a useful finished product!
I found out about the give away through your email news letter that was sent out. I love to crochet. My grandmother was a knitter as well as crocheter. She tried to teach me in my younger teens but my tension wasn’t there. It was just ten years ago I picked it up again and found my love. Must of my stuff goes to family, which is just fine by me.
I found out about this giveaway when I received an email from you. I have been crocheting since I was a small girl and am only now teaching myself to knit. I have found that your yarns are so beautiful to work with! I have made 2 shawls, one with a matching headband (all free patterns from your website) and can barely wait to give them to the folks they are gifts for. Thank you for the gorgeous yarn and super easy to follow amazing patterns!
I know about your giveaway from pinterest and from my emai , chrocheting keep me calm , and i love to create things and gift them to me beloved persons !!!!!
The email newsletter sent me here! Knitting means zoning out and focusing on something else other than the stress’s of the day. It’s my form of meditation and I end up with something beautiful at the end of it. Win-win!
I love to knit and your yarn isMORE THA BEAUTIFUL!!! I really love the colors on this month’s gift bag. I follow you on email and Facebook.
I seen the giveaway in my email. I love knitting. It is my drug. I am literally addicted to it. I love the yarn sliding between my fingers and seeing my work take shape. Then the look on my loved ones face when I give them the finished item they asked me to make is pure joy.
I heard about this giveaway through the email!
I’ve been crocheting and knitting for a short time, but it brings me so much joy. I find it a very relaxing activity, and it makes me so happy that I have found something I am good at that allows me to make gifts for people. ^.^ thank you for doing this giveaway!
Hi Chandi! I heard of the giveaway by following your Facebook page 🙂 Yarning (as I do it all) means sanit for me, as well as a modest income as a stay at home mom. You’ve picked a beautiful package, there’s going to be a VERY happy winner!
I learned to crochet fro m my Grandmother when I was very young. I have recently picked it up again, and I have fallen in love all over again!!
Love, love these colors!
Knitting started out as a hobby for me, but is now an active part of my entrepreneurial life. It’s a way for me to turn raw materials into beautiful works of wearable and display-able art, to challenge my creativity by creating new patterns and to be a bright, fun way to spend an afternoon. I love the stress relief provided by both the act of knitting and the final art of creating!
I heard about the giveaway because i am on your mailing list. I would love, love, love to win!
I get your emails.
I just started knitting 2 months ago and I’m hooked!!
I just wish my budget allowed for shopping across the border right now.
Love all these colors — all my favorites.
I saw the giveaway on your blog as well as instagram, and in my e-mail. Would so love to win!
I know about this giveaway through the newsletter of today. Crochet means a lot to me, it got me a peacefull feeling on a daily basis.
Gorgeous yarns this time… LOVE the purple and teal together! I follow you on Facebook and get your emails.
Knitting gives me time to relax from running a dog rescue and running about after 4 kids. I also have health problems and is provides regular physical therapy to stop my hands from spasming so much
These really are some stunning colors! They make me drool. 😉
Knitting provides so much benefit for me. Sometimes I knit to relax. Other times I knit to challenge myself. It’s better than doing a crossword puzzle. It stimulates my mind and I have an end result I can be proud of.
I found out about the giveaway by email. I’ve been knitting for a bot over three years now and just learned how to crochet this summer. Knitting is my stress reliever.
So beautiful! The only reason I can knit now if because of your Youtube videos!

I heard about the contest thru your email. My crafty passion is knitting. Since I have retired, I have really enjoyed the extra time I have to knit. It is really enjoyable to have a hobby that is so portable. Your gorgeous yarns and those of other indie dyers are so pleasurable to knit than what was available when I started knitting. Not enough time to knit all the things with all the yarns.
The colors of this give away are just gorgeous.. I have been knitting now for about fifteen years and find it relaxing and enjoyable.
Found this give-away on tumblr. I crochet and it’s how I stay in touch with my Nana, she lives full time in Florida now so I only see her on special occasions. She taught me how to crochet the last time we visited (it rained the entire week I was there), and now we trade patterns over facebook, we have a fun mutual granny square quilt project we’re working on now (we’re each making half a quilt and sending it to the other to finish).
Received via email letter. Started knitting after I retired. Knitting saved my sanity after the loss of my husband.
I saw this in a e=mail. I signed up through facebook. I like t crochet but don’t do it as often as I used to because of arthritis. That does not stop me from collecting yarn and patterns though.
I heard about this giveaway from your blog. I remember my grandmother crocheting all the time. She would sit in her chair, watch tv and crochet. Her hands were always moving. I inherited her crochet hooks and also my aunt’s and learned to crochet watching your videos (thank you!). It has become an activity that relaxes me after a tough day at work. There is a photo of my grandmother crocheting an afghan she made for my husband and me proudly displayed near my favorite spot to sit and crochet. My goal is to make something for each family member using these special hooks! I’m hoping one day, I will be able to make something with your gorgeous yarn!
I’m on your mailing list so that’s how I hear about all your luscious giveaways and colors!
What does knitting mean to me? It’s the thing that keeps me sane, a chance to play with color and gorgeous fibers and create beautiful, practical wearable art!
I heard about this giveaway via my email of your newsletter. Knitting and crochet are important to me – I love the challenge and that I am constantly learning new skills and don’t even get me started on yarn addiction…
Those yarns are gorgeous!! I learned to knit and crochet at church from some lovely patient ladies. Since then I have started a prayer shawl and blanket ministry and we try to teach others as well. We also made 100 crochet cradle purses for Operation Christmas Child. It’s a creative outlet that I enjoy and live to share with others. I heard about this give away from facebook and from the emails.
I’ve been entering in the last couple giveaways and I follow the blog so that’s how I heard about this one. As for what yarn, knitting, and crochet means to me…where do I even begin? My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was probably about seven and I loved it even then but it didn’t quite stick with me as a hobby till I was a teenager. Knitting has always been a way for me to express myself as well as challenge myself by learning a new stitch or technique, trying out new yarn types or needle sizes, etc. It’s also always been something that no one around me really did so it was kind of my own thing that I could have to myself. I love breaking that stereotype of grandma knitters (no offense to the grandmas, you guys rock). It’s also incredibly therapeutic for me and has gotten me through a lot of the stresses of high school and the anxiety that came with going to college. About a year and a half ago I taught myself how to crochet cause I felt like people always assumed I did both anyway so I figured I might as well learn (weird reason, I know). I like knitting a lot more than crocheting but crochet is still fun to do for me. I am in a very intense love/hate relationship with yarn because it is so incredibly beautiful and wonderful and every skein I see I think of a dozen patterns I could make it into but on the other hand I am a broke college student and cannot afford to buy yarn much less afford the time it would take. Well, that’s my knitting/crochet/yarn story. Knitting is the light of my life, really. It’s brought me much needed happiness and peace.
I heard about this giveaway through your emails.
I love to knit because it’s relaxing and great to make things for other people.
I head about the giveaway via your email newsletter, of course! Knitting is my sanity. A year ago, we moved for my husbands job. I’m not happy in my new home and can’t wait to move anywhere but here. Knitting gives me an escape, a distraction and keeps me connected to “my people,” mostly through ravelry
Saw this contest on tumblr. I love these colors! I started knitting a few years ago to manage anxiety and depression and now I can’t stop. 🙂
I love to knit. I found you by surfing the web a few months ago. Love your presentation of the yarns, you and hubby do a great job.
Saw your email newsletter for the giveaway. 🙂
Perfect! I am just starting to do cables and could sure use the book! Not to mention the beautiful yarn! Knitting gets me in that “Zen” zone. It helps me stay sane!
I would love this as my birthday present this year! Wow! Beautiful yarn. I knit, crochet, spin, weave, dye, and more. I craft to stay sane (relatively), I’m an ocd crafter that can’t be without something in my hands.
I heard about this giveaway on Pinterest.
I heard about this yarn give-away from an e-mail I received from you. I LOVE the colors of your yarns – I like the dark colors especially. Crocheting and knitting keep me sane.
Knitting for me is my escape.. from just about everything. It’s my relaxation… like yoga with yarn:)
I saw your yarn giveaway in my newsletter… see I read all of it!
I found out this beautiful give away via e-mail. My mother taught me how to knit when I was 7 or 8 years old. This was hard for her to do bec. she is a lefty and I am a righty. Knitting is very relaxing and I love creating. I adore everything about about yarn-colors, textures, fibers a total sensory delight. I do know how to crochet but prefer knitting. I enjoy making garments for myself and for special family members and friends.
I’m a follower of yours on Instagram plus I get your e-mails. I love seeing all of the inspiration photos and the matching yarn. Yarn. Beautiful Yarn. I crochet….I’ve tried knitting, several times, and I’m unable to get the hang of it. I’ve heard I should try continental (I think that’s it) since it is more similar to the way a crocheter would work with yarn.
Crocheting allows me to use my brain for something functional after the kids go to bed. I love that I can crochet something more meaningful as a gift as opposed to running out to a big box store and crossing fingers I’m not buying something the recipient already has.
I heard about this great giveaway in an email. Knitting is my way of relaxing and taking time out for myself.
Thank you so much Chandi for giving me this chance to win some of your Beautiful Yarn. I am so grateful that you e-Mailed me about this Awesome Giveaway. I am a avid Crafter I love to crochet it is my life saver. As I am disabled crochet keeps me grounded and gives me something to do with my time. I also enjoy knitting and cross stitching but crocheting is my true passion. I would truly love a chance to try some of your gorges yarn.
I subscribed to your mailing list. I hear about all the beautiful things that are new. I love your stuff!
Beautiful yarn!
I knit and crochet for several reasons. I love making useful things and absolutely love smelling, touching, and squeezing yarn.
Beautiful yarn in the giveaway. I received an email from you. Thanks.
Oops! Forgot to say where I first saw the Giveaway. On facebook!
I saw a post on Tumblr about this giveaway. To me, knitting means a skill passed down through the generations in my family. I am the only one in my generation that knits, and I’m hoping to pass on the skills to my niece. The yarns, and colours that you have chosen are absolutely beautiful, I would definitely knit something for my mum with them!
Chandi is one in a zillion,
Chandi is real. Kind, caring and ohhhhhhhhhh sooooo helpful. Just be patient if she is busy, she will get back to you.
The yarns are magnificent. I went in a yarn shop and the lady working, could not believe how soft and squishy the yarn feels. Delicious. I think Chandi has any and all weights of yarn you might want. You would have to ask her to see if she has what you are looking for. You owe it to yourself and your friends to look at the site. No one I know or have looked at have it showing so beautifully where you can really see the yarns.
I learned about the contest from email. I love your colorways and just received my first order. They are as beautiful in person as on the website.
I relearned to knit about six years ago. We unexpectedly fostered and adopted three kids in six months and knitting became my “me time”. There is something peaceful in the process and a beautiful object at the end.
I saw your giveaway for this amazing array of color and texture on Facebook. I knit and crochet and like the portability of small projects or sections of projects.
I heard about this giveaway through Expression Fiber Art’s Twitter. To me, knitting has become a therapy and stress relief. It’s helped me manage my anxiety by keeping my hands busy and my thoughts quiet. Thank you again Chandi for being an inspiration 🙂
I have been crocheting since I have been about 9 yrs old. I love being able to create items are so useful for friends and family. I love how crocheting is a stress reliever for me. Hope to get to use new yarns soon!
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. I enjoy knitting and crocheting year-round. It brings me Peace. Then I give away most of what I made away as Christmas gifts. That way I can start over with a new yarn stash. Smile. I absolutely love these colors.
I learned about this giveaway in an email from Chandi. Knitting is an escape for me, an opportunity to keep my hands busy and fill in time while waiting for appointments or relaxing and winding down in the evenings. Knitting enables me to keep my sanity and challenges my mind.
This will be great for a person who wants to get started with yarn… like me
Hi Chandi
Just received your reminder to enter via email! I have been away in hospital, so am just getting to it now. Yarn and knitting and crocheting has been my saving grace since I was 6 years old and my Grandma taught me how to do both. I didn’t even know how to read a pattern until I was in my 20’s – prior to that, I just thought about what I wanted to make, and made it. I am now getting into spinning and dying as well, and enjoying it immensely. I’m 53 at present, and still have years to go with the skills I have learned and am learning, and can’t wait to see what is around the corner for me. I absolutely love your yarns and your coloration ideas and the texture and sight of your yarns can gladden the saddest mood anyone could have with it’s beauty! Thank you for sharing your passion and gift with the rest of us!
I heard about the giveaway from your newsletter! And knitting to me is so therapeutic – it got me through many a difficult night during hard times 😉
I learned about the giveaway form the newsletter.
I M an avid crocheter and occasional designer. I love yarn! I learned how to knit and crochet from my mother as a young child. I returned to crocheting in college by making hats for the football players with large wholes for their dreadlocks LOL Probably not the best design, but not a place to start. My knitting skills never developed beyond the basics, and I can only knit when someone is showing me how
I received an email about this giveaway. I have knitted and crocheted off and on since my grandmother taught me when I was a young girl. Recently, it has literally saved my life! I’ve struggled with severe depression and anxiety. The meditative effects of the yarn crafts were huge. Also, when I was unable to do anything else, I could fall back on my knitting/crocheting and create and end up with a a beautiful item. It gave me a sense of purpose.
I found this just through a Google search. I’ve been knitting for two years now, in my late 20s, and it feels like I finally found something that *clicked*. It’s a hobby that I wish I had developed earlier, as it has given me so much happiness and peace. I love arranging vacations around a fiber festival or an LYS, and also love that my husband does, too!
I saw a link to this site on tumblr and boy am I glad I did! Love the yarn for the give away!
My mom taught me to knit when I was a kid. Now that she’s gone, it’s a way to connect with mom. I heard about the giveaway from the blog. Must say, lovely colors.
I found the giveaway in my email. Knitting means preparing for winter in my house!
I found the giveaway on the email you sent to me. And knitting gives me a sense of accomplishment and also helps me relax.
I saw this giveaway on pinterest. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I crochet something and you know the quality can’t be beat. I also like to sew and I’m working on making pieces that can be worn together. Your yarn looks gorgeous! Thanks!
These are so beautiful ;~;
I learned about your yarn giveaway from one of Chandi’s periodic e-mails. I love working with fiber — knitting, crocheting, and embroidering — because I get to play with color, make beautiful things, and stay sane in a crazy world. 🙂
Your GIVEAWAY is a Blessing. Not only do you dye up beautiful colours. ….you gave Knitters a chance to play with colours and enjoy a healthy hobby… KNIT or CROCHET….And we all “””****DIE FOR IT.*****
I heard about this through your e-mail newsletter. Knitting, to me, means a way to help others, a way to make wonderful gifts for my family & friends & a way to make a little extra money at times.
I heard about this through your email newsletter that I get
I learned about this contest from your email today. I started knitting to create beautiful things and as a method of stress management. Well I have created a few beautiful things and I find knitting to be as therapeutic as meditating. But know I stress about all the beautiful UFOs and WIP I have lol! So much gorgeous yarn, so little time. And then there’s this woman named Chandi who keeps temping me with even more stunning yarns! Seriously though, knitting has also brought me new friends through the local yarn stores’ classes, and by meeting women who knit at other events like the church balcony ladies. Or the lady who was carrying her knitting while visiting the wild life center. Knitting is a great universal ice beaker.
I heard about the giveaway on tumblr. Knitting means mental health to me. Without it, my anxiety runs rampant but when I have knitting in my hands, everything in my head slows down for a little while and I can’t live without it.
I’m a yarnaholic and I just love touching and looking at yarn. Winning this would be… exquisite.
Hi Chandi!! I learned to crochet and knit from your videos 🙂 They are both so cathartic. They are my meditation. I try to make time for being creative every day! Some days there just aren’t enough minutes in the day, but I make the effort nonetheless. i love having a project, and your fibers are soooo gorgeous!!
Such an incredible package!!!
Incredible package–heard about it through the email.
Saw this is the newsletter ,I enjoy making ornaments from yarn & knitting so enjoyable .Like all the colors & feel of the yarn n fibers..TY…
I learned about this giveaway by email because of a subscription. Knitting/crochet means everything to me. When I am stressed,sad,happy,excited or even just sleepy I tend to knit or crochet. It also means that I can make new things even if I make mistakes. Once I start knitting or crocheting i can’t stop. I am still a beginner and there is a lot to learn(:
Heard about this from your email.
Yarn is just my everything – from spinning (not dying…YET!) to weaving, knitting, and crocheting, and even some felting, I just love yarn. I love the feel of it, the look of it, the smell, the sound of the needles, heck, even the taste when the fibers get in my mouth! I’m just a yarniac!
It all started when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a ruptured cervical disc ended my professional singing career. I desperately needed a creative outlet, but was basically relegated to the sofa. Yarn gave me a way to make something beautiful again, and your colors (and especially the Sparkle Silk!) make me feel like a diva all over again.
I’m ever so grateful for you, lovely!
I heard about the giveaway from the Chandi~Expression Fiber Arts Newsletter. Being able to knit and/or crochet means being able to make lovely things to give as gifts and to create something you like in the colors you want.
I receive your newsletter and heard about the giveaway there. As for what crocheting means to me…My first memories are of reading with my grandmother under the baby blanket she crocheted for me. I grew up away from her in a military home, and learned to crochet independently when I was about 13, but never took it up until I was 29 and my stepfather died. Shortly after his death, I began to recover traumatic amnesia, had a nervous breakdown and was diagnosed with Complex PTSD and major depressive disorder from a long period of abuse (I had never really forgotten it, but wasn’t reliving it up til that point). It took me about 2 years to get my head back together. The repetition of crochet proved to be one of the most therapeutic things I took up during the period. It calms panic attacks, gives me something to work out tension with and is creative. It’s been 16 years since I picked up my hook again. These days I still crochet for friends and family, but also make nests for orphaned animals and birds for the local pelican rescue. I do this in part because I can remember how comforting my first baby blanket was to me when I was small.
Your color combinations are just beautiful, I look forward to seeing the new ones you come up with. I follow you on facebook and receive emails. I do many crafts and recently learned to knit and I like crochet for working on in the car and when traveling but I am really enjoying knitting it is very relaxing and therapeutic. I enjoy all the beautiful things I can create for my family with yarn and a set of knitting needles. .
Saw this on Facebook. I love knitting! my favorites are socks, hats and mitts for my family which includes a dh 4 adult kids and 9 grands! love that these small projects knit up quickly…instant gratification.
My daughter told me about this wonderful giveaway. I love the colours of your yarns. Luscious! Knitting always reminds me of my Grandmother. Her hands were never still & moved like lightening as her needles clicked away. My mother & her 5 sisters all were fantastic knitters. They would knit in the evenings while listening to the radio. No tv’s back then & the items they were knitting all went overseas for our men serving their country. Cheers! Linda A
Got the news of the giveaway in your email, love working with your yarns
I learned about this giveaway on Facebook and via a personal email from you. Lovely yarns.
I heard about the giveaway through your newsletter. Knitting and crocheting mean love, joy, thoughtfulness, and relaxation to me.
I subscribe to your email list and read about the give away there. I have been knitting and/or crocheting since I was a about 9. Knitting is truly my happy place. I recently read an article that talked about the actual scientific benefits that come from knitting to include lowered blood pressure and an increase in dopamine in the brain. Nothing new to me there. I can’t wait to get hold of my yarn and needles every night. Truly the way I “wind” down!!
I subscribe to your blog posts and saw the giveaway. I crochet and my fingers are itching for some of your yarns, but it will have to wait because I’m off to buy kool-aid.
I receive emails from you and I follow you on pinterest, instagram, facebook. I love your giveaways: you are so generous! You are offering gorgeous colours this month. I love, crocheting, knitting, beading and other crafts. Crafting is so relaxing and takes the stress out of a day.
I saw your awesome giveaway from your email on your mailing list.
My mum retaught me the basics of knitting early this year and I haven’t looked back. I’ve been teaching myself and knitting up a storm since then. I have finally found my ‘thing’! It’s a great, rewarding stress reliever. Love seeing my creations. I’m only scratching the surface at this stage, but I am so excited about the possibilities knitting may bring in the future. I am an instagram follower and love seeing your heavenly creations. @cinplicity.knits xx
oh Chandi!! My favourite colours!!!
I heard about this via Facebook and Pinterest and your email!
Thanks so much for this opportunity to win these beautiful yarns! I am a new(ish) knitter, and this will help build my stash!!!!
Diane
I hear about your giveaways via your newsletter. I can’t go to bed without knitting myself to sleep!
Heard about this giveaway since I’m already a subscriber, thank you.
I love yarn because the colors remind me of the rainbow, with a deliciously new twist.
Wow!! Those colors! I saw the giveaway while reading my Newsfeed on Facebook and HAD to click. Winning would be lovely, but I’m seriously putting some yarns on my.Christmas list this year! :). I taught myself to crochet several years ago, then moved on to knitting when I developed Rheumatoid Arthritis. Knitting hurt less than crochet, so I’ve been doing that for about three years now. I admit, I knit just to watch the colors unfold…I give away most items as gifts…I already have too many scarves and only one neck. ;). I also LOVE to see the reactions when I give someone a handmade item in their favorite colors. :). I’m still a rather slow knitter, but I love it so much I refuse to let RA stop.me. :). I am overhwlemed but the sheer number of gorgeous colors in this mix…I hope I win just so I don’t have to decide among them :D.
heard this from your newsletter coming to my email 🙂
I found it in your email/newsletter. Knitting means relaxing and expressing my creativity
I follow your page and this giveaway showed up in my inbox. I have always loved your beautiful colourways and these are as gorgeous as usual. I wanted to touch them through my screen! I knit to relax and use the other side of my brain after a day at work. Would love to touch and see these in person!
I saw the giveaway mentioned in your newsletter this time. Your prizes are always amazingly generous, thank you for doing these Chandi! These days, knitting is a rare privilege for me and means I finally have a chunk of time to do something for me.
I received an email from you with the link to enter the draw.
I only started knitting 3 years ago and it was at a very dark period of my life. I found knitting soothed me a great deal, it still does. It’s like I enter a different world when I pick up my needles & starting stitching. I love to knit in public, it is a great conversation starter.
Your yarn is beautiful, I would love to win some. Thank you!!!
Knitting for me is an escape from all of my “should dos” and into my creative self. Knitting allows me to take time just for me. When I start a project I love the anticipation of the finished garment, and I like that as my knitting progresses, my body stills, my breathing slows, and I get into a natural, easy rhythm. Best of all is picking up my finished item and reliving where I bought my yarn, where I took my project to knit, and the joy from the accomplishment of knitting.
I learned of this contest through your email newsletter. After being placed on disability I wanted and needed something to fill my time and help me feel productive. Knitting has accomplished both needs for me! It has become a passion which enables me to bring joy to my friends and family, especially my 11 grandchildren!
I am a not very good knitter but I like it. I am not able to do it too much due to my hands. I also used to crochet but haven’t done it for years and am going to try and finish a baby blanket for a “baby” that is now 30 years old with kids of his own. I also do loom knitting which I love the most and now that it’s getting cooler out will pick that up again.
Heard about this contest in an email and also on pinterest.
Yarn. Color. Touch. Gifts. Relaxation. Creativity. Memories.
I found out about this giveaway from you email newsletter! 🙂
What crochet means to me? It’s special to me, as it gives me the ability to craft things for the people I love!
I saw your give away through your newsletter. I’ve only just taken up knitting in the last three months. I’ve done a lot of work with embroidery, tapestry, sewing and many other art forms but never knitting. I learnt as a young child in school and I recall my utter devastation one day when I pulled my knitting out of my bag to show my teacher and she commented that I had added extra stitches and made it wonky. I think I was maybe 7 years old. I hadn’t even noticed that the yarn had wrapped around the needle and I just knitted it so my square became quite the dog’s leg! Well my teacher’s attitude to my very first attempt just put me off knitting for oh, a little while. Ok – a long while. I’m now forty five and unfortunately my hands are becoming more and more shaky and I’m finding my other types of fibre art a little challenging. I saw a gorgeous pattern on Ravelry and decided to try my hand at knitting and even though the hands shake, I am making absolutely lovely pieces of work. It is a forgiving form of fibre art. The yarns you can get nowadays are so lovely. I’ve made four handbags, numerous dish clothes, a knee rug …. a friend laughed at me and said most people when they learn to knit do sqaures. I don’t. I jumped right in and am trying all manner of stitches and patterns and learning my way as I go. I’m loving it. It doesn’t matter that my hands shake badly. I am creating beautiful and functional things and … what is not to love?
I get your news letter and thats how i found out about this fantastic give away!!
what Crochet means to me is friendship, family and peace and quite – when (should I say IF) you can ever get time to your self!
Thanks For a fantastic colour selection and such inspiration!
I saw this opportunity via an email newletter I receive from you. Knitting is my addiction of choice – it provides me excitement for the things I can create, an opportunity to be able to time myself out from the world, a sense of fulfillment when I complete a project, and as always an opportunity to always learn something new and to stretch my boundaries.
I found this on Tumbler. I use knitting as a stress relief tool. I love to knit baby gifts and shawls for people I love.
I read about the contest on Twitter. For me, knitting is a way to make something beautiful and useful, and a way to give someone something meaningful. Sure, it would be “easier” to go to the store and buy something most of the time. But there’s such a feeling of accomplishment and joy that comes from knitting something. It’s a special feeling.
I heard about this giveaway via email. I’ve subscribed to your newsletter since ages ago 😛
I love knitting and crocheting. It is a way to spend my time creatively. I don’t like sitting and doing nothing. Knitting and crocheting keeps me occupied. I could tell that, in a way, knitting and crocheting keeps me sane.
I found your website and competition through Facebook a couple of months ago. I signed up for your newsletter and now you send me gorgeous emails! As my Rav name suggests, I knit to stay sane. In these frenetic times it’s good to sit and create beautiful things. This creativity is given a head start when the yarn is a work of art in itself!
Wow what beautiful yarn!!! Would live to win it. Thanks for the givaway & your blog.
I love your yarns and drool every time you send out an email or when I see it on IG or Pinterest.
I knit and crochet but due to a tight budget I need to pick my projects smart. So to not overbuy on the most gorgous yarns.
I am in the process of learning how to spin too.
I’m subscribed to the newsletter, so I hearded about it by mail.
Yarn means life to me, I could stare at yarn for hours. Knitting and crocheting helps me to fight against anxiety.
Thank you for the giveaway.
I foumd out from your email newsletter.
Knitting is my therapy:) I found out about this giveaway through email. I would love to try this fabulous yarns!
Your posts started popping up on my FB feed, and I hopped over to drool over the amazing colors immediately! The rest is history. 😉 I can’t wait to get my hands on my first purchase this week!
I found out about this giveaway through your email and I usually see it on Facebook as well! Thanks for doing this!
Every time I spend my limit on EFA yarns you bring up another drool-worthy colorway! Love your yarns!!
I love to knit and spin! My next house is definitely be in the country where I can have some animals which I hope will include alpacas and sheep for fiber. I heard about this giveaway on Facebook.
Was reminded to enter via my newsletter 🙂
I taught myself to both knit and crochet when I moved to Australia, six years ago. I was far from my family, and unable to work due to visa restrictions, so I thought I’d pick up a hobby. Little did I know that yarn would become my obsession! My day doesn’t feel right unless I’ve managed even a row or two of whatever project I’m working on.
Hoping to get some of your luscious yarn as an Xmas present this year 😉
I heard about it through your newsletter 🙂
I have been wanting to learn to knit and crochet since I was a teenager but never got around to it..Only now when I am doing my housejob in medicine and I got sick enough to be on bed rest for more than a week that I finally got around to it. And I absolutely love it. I have started with crochet and once I have the basics down good, I plan on starting on knitting. It completely relaxes my mind from all the daily tensions and overwork..I have never quite come across any other hobby quite as wonderful ^_^
I checked my email this morning and there you were with all your beautiful glory of yarn and goodness. Made my day a little brighter. Thanks for all you do!
I saw this through your newsletter mailing list! And for me… knitting is a way to express my artistic side while also making something practical and that can be concretely held and warn to let people know that I love them and I think of them! It also helps when I need time to think, or to listen, in order to keep my hands busy and brain quiet.
WOW, what jaw-dropping, saturated colors in this giveaway! I admit it: I am an EFA addict!! I simply cannot resist the gorgeous colors! The Superwash Pearlescent Worsted is my fave!! I have always loved yarn and fiber, but I’ve fallen hard core in love with knitting: loom and needles. I feel like a love struck teenager and EFA yarns make me squeal just like a teenaged girl! I knit to relax, to create beautiful things, to stimulate my love of learning new things and the joy that comes from feeling my brain work in harmony with my hands. What an absolute jot it would be to win this giveaway!
Chandi,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this gorgeous yarn. I can rarely afford such lovely yarn, so I appreciate the chance to win it. Love your patterns!
Kris
Crocheting is my first love. It works up fast for me,although I do knit. I am an avid crocheting I love making items for my granddaughters. Also making gifts for others,I have a desire to put a smile on everyone’s face when they receive a gift from me. I am currently trying to set up a web site to sell my hair accessories ect but it takes money and brains to do it lol. Give me a crochet hook and I’m off a running,my therapy. Chandigarh I love love your fibers,they are all breathtaking . Unfortunately living on a limited incom and not able to work it’s hard to come up with the money. But I follow you on instagram and at lest I get to see all your beautiful fibers and your beautiful face. Hugs from Debbie??
Wool/Yarn for me is what keeps me strong…my mind trying to figure out patterns, keeps my hands and arms moving and active with my disability, helps my dexterity, allows me to give those close to me lovely gifts from my heart and to strangers during warm winter clothing drives, and thank you to those who help me with my daily challenges with my health limitations. I found out via your newsletter. Love your colors
Hello! I actually stumbled upon the giveaway from your blog after looking up a few videos for help with beginning to knitting and now I can happily say that I am a KNITTER and crocheter!! I’ve been crocheting for several years now, and love giving my projects away as gifts I’m looking forward to now adding in a few knitted projects as well. 🙂 Both have become and been a wonderful outlet that I can not wait to grow even more.
Your email newsletter – Wow – beautiful colors!
I saw this on FB and in my email. I am just in love with your yarn. I would love to buy all of it but the funds are just not there. I drool at all of the glorious colors. I have bought some of your yarn and love, love , love them. My hands love to knit with them. Expression Fiber Arts is my candy addiction. But the money candy jar is empty. 🙁 Knitting is my stress relief and keeps my hands nimble as I start to get older. My family love my knitted gifts. My coworkers also. 🙂
I get your newsletter to drool over the beautiful yarn. I learned to knit and crochet while recovering from surgery. It is now an active form of meditation and a way to express my love to my family and friends.
Love these colors! I was taught to crochet when I was 7 by my paternal Grandmother. Every summer she would visit for 3 months and we would spend our time together crocheting away. As an adult it brings her back with me every time I pick up a hook and yarn. I also gave up smoking 4 years ago and , about 2 years ago a friend showed me how to knit and now I have both skills to help me keep that nasty addiction at bay. 😀
This came up on my Facebook feed after another friend liked it.
Crochet is a passion of mine – I love making personalized gifts for my firends and family! I subscribe to your newsletter and that is how I found out about this giveaway 🙂
Facebook, of course! 🙂
I love knitting socks. I’m addicted. And they have gotten me through some rough days. The relaxing sound of knit knit purl, knit, in my head soothes any other thoughts!
I heard about your giveaway via your email newsletter. I am relatively new to knitting. I had tried to learn to knit several times through out my life. This attempt has finally taken root. I love the feel of a good yarn in my hands and very much enjoy having a finished product that is beautiful and functional. My current addiction is socks and sock yarns. Am just loving magic loop, two at a time socks!
Like most of the others on here, I found your site through Facebook. As soon as I saw the colors and textures, I swooned. I’m learning to knit, crochet and felt– so, I love all different types of yarn and materials.
To me, these crafts mean time. They mean I’ve taken time to go to the local shop and surround myself with delicious yarns, and in all of their wondrous varieties. They mean I have taken the time to work on a project, to learn something new, and to always have a reason to surround myself in color, and soft, squishy projects. And they mean I have taken time to carry-on a skill that was loved by my grandmother, and is still loved by my mother today.
Hello!
I am new to your blog & yarns but I happened to come by this giveaway on Pinterest.
One time I read a funny knitting quote saying, “Your husband or unlimited yarn?” Can you believe I actually hesitated? And I am a newlywed and madly in love with my husband!
Here’s a poem I just made, enjoy~
Yarn is cheese.
Knitting is wine.
When indulged together,
they help me unwind.
It’s 0 calories,
and hours of fun
but at times I end up
in tears n’ tantrum.
Cheers!
Isabelle Gunn
I saw this post on Facebook this morning. Both crocheting and knitting mean so much to me. I taught myself crochet as a way to deal with family stress, and just this past year taught myself to knit as a way to deal with my daughter going to live with her father for a year. We had never been apart for more than 2 months! I had a sort of mental breakdown and learning to knit gave me something to focus on and keep me centered.
I subscribe to your email newsletters. Crochet means I can create something with fabulous colors of yarn. I am a quilter too so I love color.
Hello Chandi, I heard about the giveaway through your Email and on FB. I love your colorways, just FABULOUS!!!!!! For me, knitting and working with beautiful yarns is my way of showing how much I LOVE the craft , and the people I make projects for.
Knitting is m therapy and a way to forget my chronic pain. I love knitting for my 15 month old grandson. I heard about this giveaway from your email newsletter. Thank you for this chance to win,
I love the cooooooool colors this month! Keep up the good work.
Hello! I heard about the give-away via email. I knit, spin and crochet (I am also a knitter that dabbles in weaving!) I always have something to do with fiber daily, I just find it soothing. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful colors with us!
In my email inbox as usual, in northern BC. Certainly could use some stuffs for xmas present knitting. Thanks!
I saw this through your newsletter. I love crocheting – I love making something with my hand and having a lovely finished product that you can give to people. 🙂
I saw the giveaway on pinterest this time. Yarn and crocheting give me the opportunity to share some of myself with people I care about. Crochet had also been therapy for me when I’m depressed.
I love all textiles. I love to sew, knit and crochet. Sewing came first, then my sister got me started on knitting and crocheting. Now I love it all. It is so satisfying to wear something that I have created with my own hands.
I get your email, I love your yarn. I am working with glacier now, making a scarf. These colors are awesome.
Great idea! I would love to win this yarn. I heard about it through the newsletter.
Saw your yarn giveaway on Facebook, what beautiful colors! I knit and crochet as a way to relieve stress and love to make things for my family.
YOU have the most amazing colors I have ever seen.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your yarn colors!
Followed from Pinterest – Liked the video of making the roving rug.
I receive your emails and am so impressed with all the giveaways you do and the yarn looks so yummy soft and amazing color schemes. I love to knit and do so most nights to help me unwide from working. My doctor suggested it years ago to help elivate the arthritis in my hands and help release the anxiety that I suffer from. I do small projects so as not to get overwhelmed with the details. It has been a true lifesaver for me and helps just down all the chatter in my mind. Thank you for always have insping patterns to create and beautiful yarn to work with.
I was notified via email about yet another generous giveaway so I just had to enter and support by sharing! Eventually sometime soon I plan to order Chandi’s yarn/spa/treat yourself crochet kits, because I am in love with them. <3 Thank you again Chandi!
I saw this give away right in my inbox. I receive your newsletter…and love it! Knitting means family to me. My grandmother and mother taught me to knit. My aunt knits and my other aunt crochets. I do both. When I create something with any yarn I think of those ladies and it brings me comfort since I do not live close to home. We are a military family ( you know how that goes). So much peace and comfort in the fiber arts.
I saw this giveaway on your newsletter 🙂
crochet is a way to express my love towards the people I crochet for.
Heard about the giveaway from your newsletter. Crocheting and knitting are relaxation. I lost my grandson in a freak accident 3 years ago, and so crocheting and knitting have also been my sanity. It helps remove some of the pain, and it also helps my family receiving things that have been made just for them. I love working with great yarns, how they feel and look when finished. .
I clicked through from the e-mail. Knitting is relaxing and a great way to give gifts to people I love.
I heard about this giveaway through your newsletter emails. I so enjoy following you and seeing your creations. Crocheting Lewis me make unique and special gifts, especially for my two girls. But is also a stress relief and allows me to be creative. You have really peeked my interest in learning to make and dye yarn.
I subscribe to your blog, pinterest and FB pages! I would love to try out some of your yarn <3
I discovered the place on Facebook and love to see the amazing colors and imagining different projects I could make with the yarns.
Oh yummy, I would love to win! I already follow your FB page and am on the email list, but this time I saw your giveaway on pinterest, and the colors grabbed me. Love them!
So pretty and all my favorite colors plus cables…….Yummmmmmyyyyyyy!
Found out about Expression Fiber Arts when I was searching for Knitting and Crocheting patterns. I love all of the yarn colors that you have and the patterns are great too.
I got an email about the giveaway. I have bought some of your yarn and it is so soft and luxurious. I haven’t made anything yet, but soon.
I heard about this giveaway through your email newesletter! I learned to knit as a young girl, my grandmother taught me, but had given it up for years. When I found out I was going to be a grandmother in 2013, I startred knitting again! Plus I had major spinal surgery and mobility is limited so while I sit, I knit!! Would love to win some yarn! I would knit something new for my almost 2 yr old granddaughter!!!!
I heard about this when I searched for yarn giveaways. In rural Montana there isn’t much for places to get decent yarn!!! And you had me at the word “teal.” Knitting means a lot to me. My older sister showed me how when I was eight; I cried when I couldn’t get it figured out right away! Since then I have been teaching myself. I graduated from scarves to shawls to afghans and I’m just now venturing into the world of lace knitting! As others have said, it is my therapy and something that I am actually good at! Your yarns look amazing!!!
I heard about the giveaway via email. I am a crocheter trying a little to knit. Depending on the needles and yarn my tension is either too tight or too loose. Yarn craft is soothing to all your senses.
I saw it on Facebook, and with three granddaughters and a great-granddaughter to knit and crochet for, I am always looking for new yarns and patterns!
Saw this on FB, definitely caught my eye. To me, knitting is my “me time,” something I can do for myself to relax.
I am drooling, dreaming and squealing over the lovely purples and turquoise! Read all about the yarn give-away on the email subscription today and I’m really excited. I have been crocheting since about 7 years old. My earliest memory of crochet is that my little sister (3 years old at the time) had a broken shoelace and I crocheted her a new one with green yarn 🙂 I love crochet because I love how the project grows into something beautiful from a ball of yarn. I mostly crochet to give gifts to friends and family. I love making something with my own hands. That’s one of the reasons I love expression fiber arts yarn because its hand made and Chandi is a yarn-freak like me ha ha.
I was reminded about this month’s contest via your mailing list.
Yarn/knitting/crocheting, to me, means that I can create something with my own hands that is valued by someone even if it’s just me.
I learned about this from a newsletter email, and also on Facebook. Knitting has been a passion of mine for years, and my favorite part is creating something beautiful with my hands, which I most often give as either a give or donate to a worthy cause. Your colorways and photographs are beautiful!
Saw the contest on Facebook! Crocheting/yarn started as a way for me to relax when my PPD would get out of hand and snowballed into yarny love 🙂
I heard about the giveaway in an email from you. Would love to win this beautiful yarn!
Hey Chandi,
I subscribe to your emails and try and win your giveaways every month. I started knitting just over a year ago and have come such a long way since then. If I were to win it would mean the world to me as I would love to knit some blankets for my upcoming new niece or nephew this spring. Thanks for your consideration!
Rebecca
I saw this giveaway on FB and in my email. I crochet to keep my finger joints limber as arthritis is setting in. Don’t know how much longer I will be able to do this, but for now, it helps relieve the stiffness and pain, not to mention the relaxing benefits and the gifts I am able to make for others.
wow saw this on facebook my fav giveaway yet blue blue blue lov u
I learned about this give-away in your email newsletter. Several years ago I had to stop working because of my multiple sclerosis, and knitting has proved to be my constant go-to to fulfill my need to create something useful that I had once found through my career. So glad to have the time for knitting and learning new stitches. Thanks
I enter all your giveaways! I hope this is the one I win!! Absolutely drooling all over those teals and purples!!! Ps. knitting a scarf for my sister’s birthday with some of your beautiful yarn. I know she will love it!
I was so happy to see you on the youtube channel and also on Pinterest as I taught myself to knit. I really get excited and inspired by the modern look, and the artistic colours. Thanks to you and the hubbie for doing such a great job. I am learning to SEE things I am attracted to and translate that into my craft. Cheers.
Beautiful yarn
I learned about the giveaway in the e-newsletter! Knitting and crochet are my way of relaxing. I find choosing yarn and pattern a fun and exciting pastime. I still have yet to try one of your yarns, though I hope start with a winning skein!
I saw this giveaway on your blog post. Love, love the colours of yarn you’re giving away this month, absolutely gorgeous. Knitting, crocheting and stitching are all a retreat for me, and using hand dyed yarn and threads make the journey even prettier!
I heard about the giveaway from the newsletter. I crochet and knit all though crochet is my favorite. Sitting still and concentrating is really hard for me to do. Over the years I have found that keeping my hands busy helps a lot so I started to crochet when I was watching TV on the couch with my hubby. Its much easier now to focus on not only when I am crocheting but also at other times during my day. Crocheting and knitting has really helped my focus in my day to day life and more supplies always help 🙂
What amazing colors! They brighten my days! I found your giveaway in your email. Thanks for the chance!
I heard about the giveaway via a newsletter email. Crocheting is the way I can relax and be creative at the same time. I also sell finished products so it gives me a little pocket money, too! Win-win-win! 🙂
Love your yarn. Waiting for my November yarn club order. Looks like the colors will be vibrant.
I love the colors! They are so vibrant and beautiful, I’d hate to use them (and hate to not!).
I heard about the giveaway from your newsletter, and crocheting is something that I do that helps me relax, and it’s always fun making something for your friends/family!
Love the yarn, especially the colours! I’m new to you, but can’t wait to catch up on other yarn-aholics!
I receive emails from you, which I dearly love. I love making crocheted items for my friends and family.
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. I crochet for creative therapy and relaxation. I’m a SAHM and homeschool my four precious children. The treasures I crochet are usually gifts for my loved ones. ❤️
Hi Chandi! I opened your email newsletter and rushed right over here. I crochet every night. I love creating hats, scarves, and cowls from patterns and have created my own patterns. I can’t wait to watch your tutorial on dyeing yarn with kool-aid. Awesome giveaway.
Hi! My name is Kim and I am from Tobyhanna, PA. I found this giveaway posted on Facebook. I LOVE the colors of this yarn!! Got my fingers crossed! 🙂
I saw your yarn giveaway on Facebook. I love purples and teals, they are my favorite! I found knitting when I relocated to Wyoming, where the long, brutal winters really made me depressed and I needed to find a constructive indoor hobby to help me pass the time, especially with my husband working long hours in the oilfield and being away from home a lot. I walked into my local yarn shop downtown, and not only did I learn a new skill, a made three really amazing friendships with wonderful women I met through the shop. Now I knit chemo caps and bosom buddies for mastectomy patients and I find a lot of joy giving my handmade gifts to others. Thank you, Chandi! ?
I follow you through facebook, pinterest, and your newsletter. I heard about this months giveaway through yournewsletter. Love your yarns!

I found you on Youtube last month when I was trying to teach myself how to crochet. Your beginner videos helped me so much and I’m a crocheting fool now! I’ve made all kinds of goodies and I am having so much fun. I got some of your yarn recently – IT IS SO LOVELY!! I am now addicted. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your passion!
Hi Candi.. I see this yarn giveaway when googling. I’m a beginner and right now I’m falling in love with crocheting and knitting. I’m happy to make thing from crochet and knit and give them to babies and toddlers. I’m happy see them wear or use them. And I really want to try your beautiful yarns. So Awesome colors !!!! These yarns really catching my eyes 🙂
An email announced your giveaway. I enjoy knitting for my daughters and other family members.
I LOVE the colors in the October/November giveaway. Glad I received your email update so that I could enter the contest!
i heard about it on tumblr, and knitting is something i do when i need to do something with my hands
I saw this giveaway on Facebook. Knitting for me is a way to relax and a way to make hours productive. I love to knit while watching tv and while I’m at rehearsal.
I follow you on social media and keep up with your giveaways that way. I live in Finland and luxurious warm yarn is very welcome since it’s so damn cold in here
I LOVE your yarn, it’s my favorite. If I didn’t have my husband to support my self control I’d spend all my money here. Maybe one day I’ll win one of these wonderful giveaways!!
I saw the giveaway on Facebook and already followed you on YouTube. I took up knitting last year after my son was stillborn. I found that it was a good and creative way to release some of the grief. I love making beautiful things for those I love. I am starting to learn crochet and hope to become good enough at it to make blankets to donate to local hospitals to give to grieving families after the loss of their sweet babies.
I read about this give away on your blog post. I love the colors of your yarns. And knitting cables is so much fun. Making something with this yarn using a cable pattern would be so much fun!
I heard about the giveaway from the email newsletter
Such gorgeous yarn, hopefully this time I’ll be the lucky winner, fingers crossed xxx
I found out from your newsletter. Crocheting to me is a shay to connect to the older ladies of my family line. It’s also a way for me to let my creativity flag fly
I read about the giveaway in your email. Crocheting helps me relax and be creative. It also brings fond memories of my grandmother who taught me how when I was very young
I knit so I don’t throat-punch people. 🙂
I heard about the yarn giveaway through YouTube after watching countless knitting videos! I finally realized I should probably enter since I’m so in love with knitting now. I just started recently but I’ve learned so much, especially through your videos Chanti! You’re the person who taught me the most it was so easy to understand. Since I’m a full time stay at homeom knitting has just become my craftsy way of keeping myself occupied and making things for my friends and family. I made the headband from your video for my sister!!
Gotta love auto correct.. Chandi* Sorry!
I found your giveaway through the subscription email I signed up for, just love the colors shown, the rose red, eggplant #2, toasted marshmallow, are amazing! I love to knit and sew and knitting gives me something constructive to do while I’m sitting, home or car, and I like to make gifts for my family.
Hi Chandi, I learned of this giveaway via your email/newsletter. Knitting has been my new love for about a year and a half now. It has allowed me to learn so many new things, and actually have something to show from my “me” time! I love to learn new and challenging stitches and techniques, and love to put different colors and components together to make things truly my own!
I heard about this giveaway through tumblr! Knitting to me means something to keep me going at the end of the day that isn’t work. So its pretty important to me, haha.
I heard about the giveaway from your newsletter. I especially love to crochet and knit this time of year! It is a cozy way to relax and prepare for the advent season.
I saw this giveaway through a tumblr post, went through your blog to look at more pretty yarn and just had to enter!
Knitting for me is something my Nana taught me, and I’ve expanded my skills out from that first lesson. It’s a way to relax and wind down when things are stressful. It helps with my anxiety and it’s really cool that I can bring it places and give my hands something to do. It’s also really nice because I can make gifts for my family and friends and partner that are personal to them, and can help give them something warm. Knitting has become something that is very close to my heart.
saw the giveaway in the newsletter. I’ve been teaching myself crochet, and find it really helps keep me centred 🙂
I heard about the giveaway in the newsletter. I love crocheting because it keeps my hands busy and I love creating beautiful things for my family and friends, and occasionally myself lol

I found out about the contest from my email that I am signed up for with Expression Fiber Arts…As to what it means to me…I love to create, I love color and texture.I have been an artist all my life and tried to learn as many mediums as possible and even combine them at times. Yarn is so beautiful and your colors are awesome…I also like to create to help keep my mind off of being very ill and handicapped and it is also a way to make nice gifts for my friends and relatives.
Yup, you popped up on my FB feed, love the colors, could always use more yarn.
I saw this on Facebook ?
I became acquainted with your give away program through my email that I signed up for with Expression Fiber Arts. I have been getting your newsletter for about a month now and just love the looks of your colors and yarns. I am saving my money to buy some. I have been knitting since I was 4 ;years old. My mother taught me how, so I have been knitting for some 70 years. I love to make sweaters and shawls for my family.
I heard about this giveaway via facebook. I love looking at beautiful colorways and finding inspiration from other fiber artists. Crocheting is my creative outlet and a way to recharge! Thank you for giving all of us an opportunity to win such gorgeous products!
My crafting means a lot to me. I knit mostly, although I’ve taught myself how to go from “sheep to shawl” — combing, dyeing, spinning, and knitting-and try to acquire as much knowledge as I can. I also amuse myself with the idea that I have a practical skill and if there’s ever a zombie apocalypse, I have something valuable to trade! :p
I can’t describe how much pride and peace I get from the fiber world.
Daily I see pictures of colorful yarn skeined or caked (little posts on Facebook, emails from several yarn companies, in ravelry forums I mostly lurk in) and I just enjoy the eye candy and inspiration and when budget allows, the purchase!
I’ve been knitting for about four years now and I’ve increased my knowledge using YouTube and KALs and eventually even wrote and published my own pattern. I’ve increased my self esteem so much over the years (from learning things and from having a knit group that is sincere and amazing, people who have brought me out of my shell and encouraged me and welcomed me for who I am.)
I love going into my LYS and my opinion is valued when I offer a color selection or a pattern I’ve seen. I’ve taken part in your yarn clubs and (nearly) every day I’ve found a new color I can’t live without.
My craft has kept me sane, allowed me to participate in my community by knitting for charity, make new friends, find more self worth, and nurture a positive internal dialogue with myself that helps me work through problems (as I’m repeating my pattern mantra.) I LOVE knitting and I’m glad to have found a hobby that has become a passion and even made me a better (functioning) adult.
I heard about this via email. To me, knitting and crochet are what keep me busy. I can’t work due to a medical condition, and fiber craft is about the only hobby left to me after years of going downhill healthwise. It’s more than therapy; it’s my end all and be all. And your yarn just makes it that much better!
i herd about it from my email that I am signed up for with Expression Fiber Arts i love yarn my favorite is blue
I saw the contest on Facebook. I love yarn and the ability to make unique things.
The last time I saw my mother in person she taught me to knit. That was just over ten years ago now and I love this craft so very much. She knit me some wonderful things when I was little, and now that my husband and I have a daughter I love to knit her things and can’t wait to knit her more!
Knitting and yarn are both so addictive! So tactile and delightful! I just love it so and look forward to knitting for the rest of my life.

Hi Expression Fiber Arts!
I am extremely new to knitting. Your beginner knitting video was how I began and I found it to be so helpful that I looked further in to Expression Fiber Arts. Luckily I have a natural knack for knitting and it came easy to me (so far that is!), I even taught my mom how to cast on, knit stitch, and bind off. For me, knitting is a way to channel my creative side. My new found interest and passion has ignited so many conversations and curiosities!
Thanks Chandi for teaching me everything I know! 🙂
-Aimee
I heard about this giveaway from your newsletter!
Knitting to me means being able to slow down and take some me time, to practice a soothing activity while making something creative. I get to make the garment or accessory that is exactly what I envision in the specific colors I want.
Love the colors of this yarn. Reminds me of peacock colors. I learned to crochet via YouTube a couple of years ago. My beloved grandmother, who lived to be 100 tried to teach me, as a child, and I just couldn’t catch on. I am finally following in her footsteps and so very happy to be learning to crochet. Thank you for this offer.
i recieved an e-mail that directed me to the page…looks like some real nice yarn…never worked with anything fancy…..
I saw the contest on Facebook and got an email. I love the gorgeous colors this month! I knit to relax and to satisfy my creative side.
I found this on Facebook and knitting is my best way of destressing.
This is such an amazing yarn giveaway, and I think it is so lovely that you host these! I am a musician, and knitting adds a dimension to my life that if very beneficial to my state of being. I find it incredibly relaxing, and it is so nice to come home from a long day of intensive practicing to unwind and knit something cute for myself or my loved ones. In addition though, music can be tricky because improving at your musical instrument is a task that never finished, one can ALWAYS improve. The same can be said for many skills, but with knitting, it can be so rewarding to have tangible landmarks of progress, and to have the reward of finishing a project, which I don’t always feel the benefits of in my musical practice. So thanks for helping me to further express my creativity through your beautiful yarns and patters!
Oh, and I found out about the giveaway because I get your emails!
Saw on Facebook. Love the yarn and the colors you come up with!
Saw the giveaway on instagram! To me, knitting is an instant escape I can take with me anywhere!
I saw this contest on Facebook and I follow Expression Arts Fiber in Pinterest. These yarns are beautiful and if love to add the book to my collection. I learned to knit from my mom when I was 8, and learned to love knitting when I was 19. I don’t think I’ve put down my needles for 29 years now! I love knitting to relax, to be creative, and to make useful, beautiful things for family, friends, and charity.
I read about this give away in my e-mails.
Knitting, crocheting, feeling, smelling, and looking at yarn is being in my happy place! My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was about 8, I wanted to get my brownie badge. I constantly learn new things, mostly things not to do, and that’s OK. I’m always fascinated by the things that other knitters create. I think the colors of your yarns are incredible!
Saw it on facebook.jave your yarns and colorways for a l9ng time
I saw this giveaway on face book. And my oma who is now 102 years old taught me to crochet and I remember watching my mom knit when I was younger. These two women are my inspiration. Love them both so much.
I learned this year I have fibromyalgia which means all I can do for my pain is treat it best I can. Crocheting is very calming for me and I look forward to learning to knit one day. I love being able to create something beautiful even on the days it’s hard to get off the couch. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone!
I’m on your mailing list; so I’m constantly tempted by your lovely skeins! That’s how I heard about the giveaway! 🙂
Hello Chandi! I heard about the giveaway through your newsletter via email. I discovered you n your store when I was l researching how to spin yarn on youtube and watched your video. I really like your personality, you are a very free spirit and I love it! I crochet and knit and now recently spin to keep sane lol. Making other people happy with the accessories I create makes me happy. I want to keep sharing, more. Thank you for sharing your craft <3
On Facebook this time. Crocheting means love, love in every stitch. ..known or unknown.
I saw the giveaway on my facebook I am a knitter i love your yarns so pretty and giveaways but i have yet to win one i dont have many yarns i am a busy mom so i knit when i can,
I heard through social media of everything but twitter.
I saw this contest on Facebook. I have been knitting for about ten years now and it is the thing I love most to do. I have learned so many new knitting skills and made so many very dear friends through knitting. I love to knit for my adult daughter, my daughter in law and my grandchildren. I love making socks for myself. A friend and I even tried our hand at dying some yarn recently. Lovely results in our opinion, but nothing to compare to your beautiful yarns.
I appreciate the great tutorials you have posted! Keep up the good work – both tutorials and yarn dying.
crochetyknitter’s Tumblr brought me here and I’m happy it did! 🙂
I learned about your site by looking in YouTube “how to crochet for beginners”. I love your attitude and the way you explain it. also the views on the camara as well from different angles
Your yarn colors absolutely take my breath away!!! I love how you use photos to further illustrate how the colors relate. I can hardly wait to see your posts on Facebook and receive your emails. My mom crocheted. I loved watching her hands flow so gracefully as she came up with her own creations. She never used a pattern, but was able to come up with beautiful lacy doilies. She taught me to crochet,but I certainly don’t have her talent. I also knit and find myself doing that more because of the patterns that appeal to me. So thank you for your attention to both areas!!! Thank you for what you are able to do with color and how you share that with us. Please keep doing what you are doing!!!
I found this giveaway thru the email newsletter….I’m a brand new subscriber! Knitting/crocheting is relaxing and calming for me…after a stress filled day, it helps to just knit away the troubles. 🙂
I learned about your site on Facebook–a suggested feed–but I didn’t get rid of YOU!! I like yarns and these you have in this give a way are just my colors. I love knitting with silk and cashmere blends-yummy!!
I found this on Facebook. Your videos also taught me how to knit ♡
I’m on your mailing list so try to stay on top of all you do. Your colors just get better and better. Ordered my first yarns from you a couple weeks ago and it was even better in person than I expected. I don’t have enough time in the day to knit items with the yarn I want to order from you. Keep up the gorgeous yarns…and tell your hubby thanks for his awesome pictures of your pretties!!! I love to knit for my grandbabies and it is so relaxing.
Saw it on FB. I’ve been knitting for nearly 35 years and I love being able to creatwe beautiful and useful things. There’s not a lit of money here but like my cookie baking, knitting shows my love for my family and leaves a legacy of a kind.
I found the giveaway on your FB page. I stalk your new goodies all the time and I love the Edgar Allen Poe inspired theme for the kit club. I ordered all 4.
I found out about this giveaway from the newsletter. Knitting and crocheting mean total relaxation to me because I can come home from a stressful day at work, pick up my latest WIP or start a new one and feel the fibers slipping through my fingers as I work, it’s very therapeutic.
I learned about this fro your email. I started out learning how to knit, and then moved on to crochet. I have to say, I like to crochet better; I can focus better, and all the counting keeps me concentrating on what I’m doing.
I saw your give away on Face Book. Love the beautiful colors of your yarn. I was a knitter for years but am now unable to knit due to Autolmmune disease. I taught myself to crochet a while back. It’s very calming and soothing for me. And I have less joint pain crocheting .
I’ve been knitting and crocheting for several years now. I do it because it’s relaxing, but mainly because I have lots of young family members and love to see the smiles on their faces when I give them something I made.
I’ve always crocheted but it wasn’t providing the proper look for my projects. That’s where you come in. I was looking for a basic and easy to follow ‘how to’ on YouTube and stumbled on your knitting tutorial. I tried and failed miserably. lol After several attempts at knitting, ripping my tiny project apart a billion times and stabbing the ball of yarn with a crazed look in my eyes and a maniacal laugh escaping my lips, I finally found a comfortable and natural way to knit. Learning this new skill has helped me in many ways and has expanded my creativity. I started out about four weeks ago with the intent to knit legwarmers and fingerless gloves and have completed a wrap/shawl/scarf with sleeves and have started on a sweater. Good thing the dystopian look is starting to make it’s way into the fashion scene because my knitting style (or lack there of) fits perfectly. lol It has also helped me recover from breast surgery and my husband said that I actually look happy while I’m knitting. Thank you for generously sharing your talents and providing inspiration to the knitting challenged. 🙂 ~Namaste~
I saw this on Facebook, and it is the most beautiful yarn I’ve ever seen. Every day I knit or crochet something for chatiry, and it keeps me going. Just once I would like to make something nice for me.
I found the giveaway post on this site. I love the blues and greens in this one. Knitting is very relaxing to me and helps keep my anxiety levels in check. I also like to give loved ones handmade gifts with three pairs of socks on the agenda for Christmas gifts, including a pair for The Sasquatch’s human twin.
I found out about this bodacious yarn giveaway through your EFA newsletter! I’m working on Christmas right now and this would be outstanding! 8-D
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. I knit as a way to feel productive while relaxing. also it is my social activity to try to go to knit nights.
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. To me, crochet means so much, it is hard 5o put into just one word. I fist taught myself how to crochet via YouTube in 2009. I had just been in a horrible wreck, lost my job, lost my appartment, and lost my kids in a custody battle. I was really depressed and even suicidal. I had lost everything, and felt completely worthless. Then, I saw a doll that my great grandmother crochet for me before she died back in 2000. S9 that same day, I got on youtube, and found Mikey from the crochet crowd. I watch his videos all day, and by the end of the day, I was no longer thinking suicide…I was thinking about what my first project will be. These last few years have been tough due to a work injury, but I keep crocheting, and am happy that I can make pretty things with string.
I’m actually entering your giveaway for my MOM, Corinne, – the totally avid knitter (but not techy). I found your blog while looking for instructions on how to crochet. Thanks for all the videos. I am about to start on my first crochet project thanks to your explicit instructions.
Hi, Chandi! I just discovered your YouTube channel (and by extension your website and other social media) this morning while I was searching for a video on how to crochet a snowflake :). Your video is winderful, so positive and easy to follow. I’ve subscribed and I am looking forward to learning more :). Have a fabulous November! xox
I found the giveaway through your Facebook page. Knitting and crocheting mean to me keeping an ancient art and life style alive. Growing up in a family that made and passed down items made with love was a tradition that I wanted to keep alive. My mother quilts, her mother was a seamstress and now does needlepoint. My father’s mother quilted and grew up making her own cloths. I picked up crochet from my great grandmother. I see a little as well. I love taking a skein of yarn and making something beautiful. I find handmade items are warmer from the love that is put into them.
Knitting is something I do at work with friends. We get to collaborate and talk and have a great time
I found this on Facebook. I’m a diehard knitter who stayed after my mom passed. Knitting was her craft and she amazed me with her talent.
I saw the giveaway on Pinterest as I was looking for inspiration for some gifts I am making for the holidays. Knitting and crocheting are a meditative practice for me. I love that I can take a single piece of yarn and by looping again and again end up with something that will bring warmth and love to a significant person in my life.
I heard about this giveaway through the newsletter. Crocheting is more my sister’s hobby then mine, but I do it a little and I’m trying to learn how to knit.
OMG – gorgeous yarn! Please for the love of mercy – PICK ME!
Saw this on Facebook. Knitting is my favorite way to relax.
I found crochet and knitting when I became ill and needed something that would keep the movement in my hands. I have lost the feeling in about half of them and experience a lot of pain in them and the rest of my body. I used these crafts as therapy, in the beginning. Since then, I have found benefit to this mentally as well. It has become a huge passion of mine. I love, love, love yarn so very much. It keeps me happy. What more could anyone ask of something in their life.
I forgot to add that I found the giveaway on Instagram
Hi Chandi, first of all I love your yarn colorways! I heard about this giveaway from FaceBook. Please pick me to win this wonderful package?!
I heard about your delicious giveaway on Instagram! I crochet and knit however I’ve crocheted since I was a little girl. It means so much to me because my grandmother taught me how when I was very young. After she passed away in 2005 I decided that I would from then on crochet for her ?
It would be insane to win this giveaway!
Thrilled for this awesome op to win!! Your gorgeous Instagram posts are a daily reminder what beautiful yarn is available to fiber artists – and real treat to the winner!!
Thanks for the emails that keep me up to date on the giveaways!! The colors of your yarns are so inspiring.
I saw it on Instagram. I love to be able to make handmade things for my family, and colorful yarns inspires me to knit all the time!!!
I found the contest on Instagram. I crochet for fun, stress relief, and a creative outlet that doubles as a great way to make gifts. Love your yarn,,
I found your giveaway on instagram!
My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was very little. I promptly forgot soon after. Last year I picked it up again and haven’t stopped since! I’ve tried my hand at knitting as well. After coming to your blog I realized that you’re video is what I used to learn to knit! I had no idea! I also spin a little 🙂
For me yarn crafts are a way to relax and create at the same time. I can can learn so much and keep learning because there is so much it there!
Found your videos on youtube while I was looking for videos on how to knit. My mom tried showing me the other day, and even though I watch her knit most nights, I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I am going to give it a try again in a few days thanks to your videos.
I heard about the giveaway from your Instagram! 😀 what does knitting (or an yarn work) mean to me? Well, I can’t quite pinpoint one thing that makes it so significant. I am a very kniesthetic person and most things I gift for my loved ones are things I can make myself. Knitting has helped me express my love AND creativity that’s unique to my personality. It’s also a means of relaxation during this challenging and stressful time in my life of studying and full time work. It’s how I unwind at the end of the day. It’s also just REALLY FUN!!
This yarn is gorgeous! Saw the giveaway on Instagram and knitting is my therapy!
Saw this on Instagram. Could not resist the beautiful colours. Knitting and crochet are my sanity. They help me keep track of my day’s achievements when rest of my day is spent teaching or counselling which have less tangible results.
I saw this on Pinterest. Knitting has helped me to make new friends in a retired community. We all meet once a week and help each other with projects and do show and tell.
I found your giveaway on facebook, and to me crocheting means taking raw material, feeling it run through my fingers and watching it turn into something beautiful. I love knowing that the finished product was made by me, by hand.
Thank you for offering such a generous giveaway!
I saw this on my Facebook page this morning!! Beautiful yarns, but I have been a fan for a year or so!! Thank you for sharing all that you do with us!!
Such lovely colours! Exactly the colours I like to wear. Hopefully I will win this time…but I am sure everyone hopes that so good luck to us all!
Hi Chandi!
I found you through google and YouTube. My husband and I are recently separated so I was looking for a hobby since my son (6yrs old) spends every other weekend with his Dad and I just didn’t’ know what to do with myself. I remember as a child my Grandmother attempted to teach me to crochet, but I don’t remember a since bit of it.
Your videos have been so helpful!! Who knew I could learn a whole new hobby without even leaving my house!
Thank you so much!!
Hi, Chandi! ?? I found this giveaway via your newsletter (your yarns make me drool!). For me, knitting and crocheting are a way for me to express myself with my hands. I like to challenge myself in different ways, usually jumping off the deep end and making something ambitious (the first pair of socks I ever knit were in Entrelac~no joke)! Keep the yarn coming, your colors are simply divine! ??
I found out about this on Facebook! Knitting is my therapy. I’ve been knitting for a few years now, and it was a way to reconnect with my grandmother again before she passed away last year. Your yarn is gorgeous!!!
I found this as a sponsored ad on Facebook. Crochet is my way to be creative and create beautiful things!
Found this on Facebook, the colors are gorgeous and it looks so soft!!
Heard on facebook and instagram!
I found you on Google, wanting to know if there were any yarn giveaway competitions!
I crochet and love making my now 16 month old baby jumpers to keep her warm! Xx
I heard about this giveaway through youtube as well as facebook. – I actually consider myself to be in the beginner knitter category still. I taught myself, through youtube videos, how to knit about a year ago, and have completed a small blanket. For the majority of my life (22 years old) I’ve battled with severe anxiety and depression. I was trapped, and I never knew of anything that could help me during my darkest days. With knitting I have my escape. It brings me ultimate joy to see my completed works. It helps manage my anxiety way more than before. I feel that without ever knitting I’d probably still be lost. It has helped tremendously in my life. I don’t know what I would do without being able to knit. It brings me serenity, and it is one of my biggest delights.
You taught me to knit today!!! Your videos were so easy and you’ve got a great sense of production as well, not just hands and bad sound 🙂 I would be OVER THE MOON to win this lot, my 7 year olds name is Indigo, so I would make him a cozy blanket.
I got an e-mail and saw this on Facebook. I knit and am learning to crochet. Knitting for me is peace and pleasure. I love soft yarn and feel connected to those I love. I want to wrap them in hugs of softness and warmth. Your yarn is a delight.
FB is where I saw the info about the giveaway.. Last month, a friend shared your website with me and as soon as I checked it out, I fell in love with the colors of your yarn. Last week, I ordered a few shanks and can’t wait to work with them. I’m a knitter and crocheter, but have always worked with yarn bought at the local craft store. I have a few of your patterns and am excited to work them with your yarn. I like the way you share your yarn with something from nature……it’s a great visual. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
Beautiful! I am so excited you do this. You do such great work. I love the yarns. Thanks for the opportunity to have more. 🙂
I found this giveaway on IG. I love to knit and crochet. It keeps me sane and happy. 🙂
I saw on twitter this month first, then instagram, then Facebook. Love your colorways!
this is such a gorgeous giveaway. I am new to cabling and would love to create a cabled project. colours are beautiful and your yarn is a must try.
I saw this giveaway on my FB feed today. I love to knit because it’s soothing. When I’m stressed, the repetitive action of knitting is calming, and I love that it results in something that I can use. I enjoy giving handmade gifts to my friends and family, and I’m always looking for yarn that has no wool content because I have a severe allergy to it. I love using alpaca, cashmere, silk, bamboo and cotton, and acrylic when I can find one that is really soft.
I saw the giveaway on Twitter first, this month. I love yarn and fiber and am currently learning how to dye and spin my own yarn. I’m primarily a knitter, though I also dabble in crochet. Also, I defend my thesis this month and this would be a lovely reward!! I’m on the east coast of Canada 🙂
I found out about the giveaway by googling yarn giveaway! Your blog was the first post. After looking around your blog I’m glad I found it! I am a happy hooker for many years now ! Crocheting is my forte and I hope to learn knitting soon. I like many types of crafts. Not only is it a great creative outlet its also very therapuetic. I suffer from anxiety and depression and having a skill that not only benefits me but also others helps me everyday. I am able to bring in extra money to my household through this skill and also give some pretty amazing gifts to friends and family.
I follow you EVERYWHERE lol. Saw this giveaway on Facebook first! Knitting is my escape. I do it every single chance I get.
I heard about the giveaway as a Sponsored Ad on Facebook, but I’ve already entered a number of your contests. I learned to crochet first then knit. It’s a (mostly) calming exercise in creativity and I do it nearly every day. Knitting has since become my preferred method.
Giveaway was seen on Facebook.
I started knitting and crocheting 5 years ago when my husband deployed to Afghanistan. I taught myself with Youtube Videos and books. I fell in love with it and have been doing it ever since. My favorite thing to do is window shop for yarn. I just can’t get enough of all the beautiful colors. That is why I am so excited about this giveaway. The yarn is SOOO beautiful. Thank you for the opportunity.
I saw this giveaway on facebook. My favorite yarn craft is crocheting, but I also knit a little and loom knit a little. I will be learning to knook soon too. I find crafting relaxing and it helps me keep my hands busy so I don’t snack so much.
I saw the giveaway on Facebook, thanks for the chance to win. My Mom taught me to crochet when I was little. We still crochet projects together. I would love to learn to knit and have just found your YouTube channel, I’ll be watching your videos, thanks again.
Beautiful work. Thanks for the opportunity
I found this giveaway on Facebook. My grandma in England taught me to knit when I was four but I didn’t start to knit seriously until I was 36 after having to leave work due to a chronic illness. It was a lifesaver, giving me something to look forward to as I was housebound for many years. Planning my next project or completing a project and giving it as a gift to a loved one got me through the really tough times. My health has improved greatly over the past 25 years but knitting continues to be an important part of my life as I now have several grandchildren to knit for. Knitting is part of my daily routine…part of my healing routine!
I found it on a friend’s facebook.
Here is my story:
I started knitting just a week ago – and here’s why: My boyfriend and I are saving up for a big trip. So – financially, I really shouldn’ be spending money on clothing. I decided, if I was going to get any new sweaters for winter (MN) – then I better figure out how to make them on my own. I searched youtube for a lesson – and was very very impressed with your beginner lesson. I thought – I can do this! So – I went an bought yarn and needles. And I started. I started over about 4 times!! LOL! But – then I got it! However I did make a bit mistake – I only bought one thing of yarn – went back for another tonight and they were all out 🙁 So – I have a half finished product, and I just started a new one!! Thank you for your tutorials!!!
I saw the giveaway on pinterest. I am an art student, so crocheting and knitting are ways to create without getting graded. It’s also wonderful stress relief. Nothing better than coming home after a long day and getting out the yarn.
I found this in my e-mail.
I learned about your giveaway via Facebook.
To me crochet is a wonderful memory of my grandmother. As a little girl I looked up to her as my teacher of something I will never forget. I crocheted off and on for many years and it is just part of my life now. In 2012 I taught myself to knit. Ever since then I have not gone anywhere with a WIP.
My children have also grown-up to love the crafts and my almost 9 year old son is already knitting. My 7 year old daughter is trying to learn and my 2.5 year old son just wants me to male him more hats LOL.
My husband is a proud supporter of my crafts telling me about how amazing my creations are and reminding me of how I use to say I would never knit LOL.
I want to thank you for this chance to win some of your beautiful yarns and I promise should I win this yarn will not only match everything I own but have my friends swooning to get there hands on some too
I found this giveaway as a sponsored post on Facebook.
I enjoy crochetting because it can be relaxing. With having 7 kids this is something I can do for myself. It is also such a great joy to see what can be created with yarn and a hook. My kids enjoy my hats and toys.
Saw the giveaway in the newsletter I subbed to. Lovely yarn…I have never worked with yarn this fine.
I saw the information about the giveaway on your Facebook page…thank you for the opportunity to win such deliciousness!
Crochet has been my passion for about 6 years now. It’s an outlet for creativity, accomplishment, and relaxation for me. There is nothing like finding that perfect project, the perfect yarn, and digging right in!
I saw this giveaway on Pinterest. I love all crafts but knitting is what I do most. I really enjoy being able to make clothes for my 2 kids and husband. Socks are my favorite because it’s such a small project, I can take it anywhere I go.
Another set of beautiful yarns!
Beautiful colors!! I heard about this giveaway on both Facebook and Instagram.
I saw this in a Facebook sponsored post.
I absolutely love the pictures that come with photos of the yarn. Delicious!
Hi Chandi,
I saw the giveaway on your website. Knitting is an escape for me– gets rid of stress and helps me think about my day. I’ve been knitting a long time, and I am addicted to the texture and feel of good yarn. I find it very therapeutic!
Thanks,
Julie
Jst rec’d my “Mystery Bag” of Expression Fiber Arts sock yarn. Beautiful yarns. So ready to start a new project.
Hi Chandi,
I noticed your beautiful yarn on my Facebook news feed and I feel like it was a blessing. What absolutely beautiful yarn. Just what I have been searching for but couldn’t really find in the colors I wanted. Anyhow, I began crocheting after my husband of 12 years committed suicide in front of my children and myself. This was a really extremely difficult time as one can assume. I was sinking into a depression and I already have a severe case of adult adhd. A friend of mine was expecting twins and had no means to support these babies. I was at walmart in the craft aisle when I noticed the crochet accessories so, I picked up yarn and things and started a new hobby. Everybody told me I would never finish one. Well Chandi, I finished both and continue to this day with my love of crochet.
I heard through Facebook. Thank you
I needed a way to de-stress ( final year exams are not fun) and knitting seemed like the best thing to learn, I found your videos on youtube and was instantly hooked. I tried knitting before but I couldnt get the hang of it, your video made it really clear and straightforward so thank you for that! I love the blog and am inspired by your story. I’ve found knitting really serene and a great way to wind down at the end of the day and let all the facts, figures, and stress go. Once I’ve really got the hang of knitting I want to try make myself a blanket, and then a sweater or something along those lines.
I subscribe to your site…Knitting is a very relaxing hobby for me..I get great satisfaction from creating…
Lovely yarn! I would very much enjoy using it for a special project!
Your post came across my FB feed and the colours were just so beautiful I was hooked! I knit for relaxation as well as for the finished project, and teach knitting to my high school students for the same reasons!
I saw this giveaway on Facebook! What an awesome contest. Thank you!
I originally found you on Facebook and subscribed to your newsletter. Every time I receive the newsletter I can’t help “drooling” over your gorgeous colors. I love the way you post your inspiration picture and the resulting yarn. One of these days I will be able to afford to purchase your yarn so I can create something special. For now… I will just have to dream.
Hi Chandi, I’ve been knitting and crocheting for about 55 years. They are the threads that connect me to my family – my mother and my nana, both long gone. I still carry on their tradition of making special gifts for the toddlers and children in the family. It keeps me sane and stress-free!
I heard about this giveaway on the Expression Fiber Arts YouTube channel, which I have been using to learn to crochet and re-learn how to knit! I have been making my family and friends scarves and headbands to give over the holidays to surprise them. Two of the most important women in my life tried teaching me to knit as a teenager, and I’ll admit I was a bit of a knitting disaster. One of the women, my Granny, passed away four years ago, and I have found reconnecting with knitting has been a way of connecting myself to her. It turns out I just needed a little bit of practice and patience and my projects are (somewhat) wearable!
I saw this on FB. My daughter has a yarn store so I thought we could see your yarns first hand and maybe order some for her store.
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook.
Knitting and crocheting to me means relaxing and being able to make things, for myself and family.
A knitting friend posted the giveaway on facebook. Your yarn is PRETTY. I have been knitting since I was five when my grandmother taught me, and love all colors of fine yarn. I knit to meditate, to think, to keep the arthritis away, and to fulfill my creative urges.
Saw this giveaway as an ad on Facebook! Too cool 🙂 The variety of textures available to work with when spinning, weaving, knitting, and crocheting really helps my penchant for tactile methods of coping with stress.
Hi Chandi! I love the yarn colors that you come up with! I knit and crochet all the time, it keeps me from losing my mind! If I get chosen to win your contest, I plan to make Slouchy Beanies for myself and my daughter! Thanks for the opportunity to win your gorgeous yarn and the book also!
P.S. heard about your giveaway via Facebook!
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. Your yarn is gorgeous!
I saw the giveaway on Facebook!
My mom taught me to knit a loooooong time ago, and then again as an adult! I’ve taken up crochet in the last few years and really enjoy it. :). I would love to make my mom something special with the silk/sparkles, maybe a prayer shawl, as she’s surviving cancer. Love my mom! ?
By email and on FB I was informed of your give away, and what beautiful colors this month. Holiday gift knitting is upon us! These yarns could turn into some lovely gifts! It is such great fun to give hand made gifts. Send some love my way, and I will spread it around! Thanks for doing what you do Chandi, you are wonderful.
I saw this on Facebook. I am a beginner knitter but a fast learner, so looking forward to learning more and I would love to win this package.
I heard about it on Facebook. Thanks.
Hello,
My name is Victoria and I saw this giveaway on Facebook. These yarns look delicious and have a ton of exciting potential. I am a Fine Art Textile student at Kent State University, so my days are full of dye work and planning studio projects. I have always been a knitter and crocheter, and I like to work on small pieces for my etsy store in the evening as a break from schoolwork. This color pallet in these giveaway yarns is inspiring and just the thing I need to get started on holiday gifts.
Your yarn is just amazing! Every time I think I have a favorite, I get another and it’s my new fav!
I saw this giveaway on Facebook, but OH how I have always drooled over your beautiful yarns! I’ve always loved knitting for the sake of making functional and/or wearable things. I’m even more excited now that I’m about to have my first child, I’ll have even more reasons to knit more plushies and more clothes!
Thank you for doing this amazing giveaway!
I saw this on Pinterest. I am an avid knitter and crocheter. I love the colors and the feel of the yarn in my hands. I am fascinated by the different patterns and items that can me made with “a bit of string and some sticks”. What I love the most is making something for someone else and seeing them wear it. I like knowing what I make will help keep someone warm.
Everywhere! :p Also knitting means to me doing pretty things for friends and family.
Saw the post for this on FB.
Your yarn looks yummy.
I heard about your give away on your blog on your website. Your yarn is so beautiful. I ordered the scarf set, even though I have been knitting for 1 year, I love projects that are quick and easy. I can not tell you how much I love looking at your colors they are wonderful. Thank you for everything.
I love this yarn!!!
Through email, Facebook and Pinterest. Yarn is so beautiful because of the oh so many beautiful projects that it can turn out to be, not to mention all of the many different and beautiful colors it has. It’s just endless years of beautiful items that have been made and continue to be made everyday by so many in many different ways. I think if we didn’t have yarn, it would be lots of sad people. As using yarn and being able to create whatever our minds can imagine it to be, helps a lot of people deal with and overcome sadness, depression, anxiety, pain and on and on.
Hi Chandi! I’m excited about this scrumptious giveaway! You are far too generous! I crochet and I’m learning to knit. My grandmother taught me to crochet years ago, but I finally picked it up in earnest when I was pregnant with my son, and I just haven’t stopped!
Love your yarns. I follow on facebook and pintrest.
I saw this on Facebook. I have been a follower of you for a long time. Crocheting is therapeutic for me. I am no longer able to knit due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. I just finished crocheting the squares for a lapghan, using my stash. It would be wonderful to replace the yarn with this!
I like knitting and crochet because it satisfies my creative urges, and it’s a satisfying way to make things with my hands. I heard about your blog from Facebook.
I heard about this giveaway on twitter. I love creating things.. knotting and crocheting allows me to unwind after long stressful days at work.
Crocheting and (to a slightly lesser extent) knitting are my therapy when life seems to be overwhelming me.
I fell in love with crochet a few years back when looking for a new hobby. I have literally been ‘hooked’ ever since! I love my yarn from overseas, particularly scheepjes and stylecraft. I enjoy making blankets, scarves, hats and amigarumi and am going to venture into combining fabric with crochet to make some blankets soon. With two grandsons, I am very busy but enjoy relaxing on our getaways in the RV with my husband and taking a couple projects along. It has helped me greatly with my depression and anxiety something with the repetition has a calming effect. my future goals are to start up my own etsy shop creating props for baby photo shoots, as I have received such positive feedback from my work from those who’ve seen it locally. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get brave and do it one day! Haha!
I am 8 years old. This is why I’m using my moms email. I love to crochet and knit. I’m coo for crocheting! I really want to win. I’ve made four hats. Two of them are cable knit, and one other is a ribbed crochet hat, and lastly, the crochet hat I’m working on right now is crochet using puff and half double crochet stitches. I want to win so badly! My mom and I live in Canada and we saw this giveaway on Pinterest but we have also been receiving your newsletters. Bye!
I would make some shorts.
Hi,
I saw your banner at the bottom of a raverly chat room I was in and loved your colors.
I have been knitting for a little over 3 years. I started with simple Christmas gifts and found them to be borrowing after a few projects. My local yan shop recommended raverly.
And I know knit every day, with several projects on the needles at all times, o.k.nway to many projects.
I sent an email in hopes that you will select 3 wonderful colors and 3 different weights for a Stevenbe class I will be taking at stitches west 2016.
So many wonderful patterns and yarns and not enough time to k it them all.
Debbi
I saw the giveaway on Facebook. Knitting keeps me sane – gives me a way to relax and decompress and create at the same time.
I saw this on facebook. I enjoy knitting and crocheting for my family and friends.
What knitting means to me? It means the satisfaction of a completed project. From start to finish, I am responsible for every well made and screwed up stitch. I can take pride in a job well done or learn from failure (usually a bit of both) to ultimately have, at the end, something tangible that I made. I’m not really sure why, but I think an obsession is forming 🙂
Google got me to this giveaway!
I follow you on Facebook and I am a subscriber to your newsletter, so that’s how I found out about the giveaway. I love to knit because it relaxes me. I have anxiety really bad and knitting helps to calm me down and keep me relaxed. When I’m knitting, nothing else matters. I can get into the zone and all the crap that constantly swarms around in my head disappears. I love making beautiful things and feeling that sense of accomplishment when I’ve completed a project.
I can almost FEEL the textures of the yarns and I love the colors!
I heard about the giveaway via email
I’m just learning to knit. I love the idea of using my creativity to make things that people will use and enjoy. And a portable creative outlet is awesome, too. I heard about your blog on Ravelry.com.
i love to knit. it calms me and gives me something to do with my hands. “active meditation”, i tell people. i recent moved into a teeny tiny rv and most of my stash of really nice yarn was lost. i would love to have amazing yarn to make holiday gifts.
Caught this giveaway on Facebook. The yarns are absolutely gorgeous.
I saw it posted on facebook. I love to create and make things. It brings joy and sanity to me in stressful times. It make me happy to be able to make a pretty item for the people around me. I am a yarn junkie,lol
I’ve always wanted to learn to knit/crochet. Finally I went to YouTube and saw your beginners tutorial and watched how easy and clear you made it all seem. Before that I was having intense panic attacks sometimes I would feel tingling on my left side. My anxiety attacks were making me hypertensive. Since watching your video with your cheerful and positive and fun loving attitude you’ve saved my life. Watching your tutorials and practicing and learning and studying techniques and patterns. I keep my little project bag with me wherever I go. If I’m shopping it’s in my buggy. At the doctor it’s in the waiting/examination room. I used to lay down and hope my fear would make me pass out and I could sleep through my anxiety attack. Now if I feel one coming on I reach for my bag and turn on one of your videos and I’m instantly cured instead of being terrified and wonder if it will pass or if it’s a heart attack and grip my phone to call 911. Thank you for saving my life and sanity. Thank you for being there for all of us. And thank you for being so kind, generous, and an inspiration to those of us wanting to learn this beautiful craft and giving us hope that we can do this no matter how much we fail in the beginning we can do this and teach and share with others your passion for the craft and compassion for strangers. Even if I never win one of your generous prizes you’ve given my the gift of health, happiness, and friendship with other yarn lovers. Thank you!
KT and the Squid (www.facebook.com/KTandtheSquid) posted this giveaway on Facebook and I immediately fell in love with the colours of those yarns. Knitting and crochet are like meditation for me. Something to put my mind to. I love to learn something new with every project I make. With the book from this raffle, cabling might be next. Yay!
Oh, and did I say that I love love love those colours? I did, didn’t I? Well, I LOVE them <3 #fingers-crossed
It’s my sanity and my way of helping my family since I am unable to work outside the home any longer. Thank you for having this giveaway ?
I stumbled across this giveaway when I was searching for a tutorial to learn how to block my first knitting project – a cable knit scarf for my husband. I’ve been crocheting a little less than a year, and picked up knitting about 6 months ago. I enjoy both of these crafts because they are relaxing, and I love having a finished product so I can see the result of my hard work. In my professional life, I am constantly pushing myself to do better. I struggle with the fact that there is no “right” way to do the work that I do, and I always worry that I am not doing enough. I think part of the reason I like knitting and crocheting so much is that I can get that satisfaction of a project done correctly and completely. I am definitely a bit of a perfectionist!
There is never a point in time where I don’t have multiple projects started. I travel overseas and state wide with my job. I spend a week packing all my yarn and making sure I have just the right project, then the night before I throw in my clothes. The minute I sit down in the airport I am nonstop till we land. You have beautiful yarn.
I am an obsessive knitter. I saw this giveaway pop up in my newsfeed and fell in love with the luscious yarns and colors – my favorites.
I love this yarn what a beautiful site and gorgeous yarn!!! love it!!!
I discovered this give-away on Facebook. I am a self-professed.knit-a-holic!! I knit at home, on car trips, in waiting rooms, at the movies, at sporting events…you name it!! I learned to knit not long before learning I was expecting my first born…(our 5th pregnancy!) Due to being a high risk patient, I was put on bed rest for six long months. Knitting totally saved my sanity! It kept me occupied during the long days in bed, most days with no company to talk with. It kept me calm and my mind busy. And in the end, I had lots of cute knitted items when our baby boy (now 22 yrs old) arrived. I look forward to each of your emails. The yarns, as well as their corresponding photos, make my heart sing!!
This was shown to me on facebook by another knitting friend. Love the colors. Trying to finish my next project so I can purchase more, or have it placed on my christmas list!
First of all, your yarn is so beautiful- instant love!
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook.
For me crochet is something that has intertwined itself into my life in good and stressful times since discovering it. It’s relaxing and such a great creative outlet, plus it totally works with my love of playing with colours.
I heard about your yarn giveaway thru Aaron Reck. For me knitting and crocheting is a practical method of creative expression and a connection to my mother and grandmother who taught me to do both.
Hi, hello, hey, howdy…. 😉 I heard about your giveaway through your newsletter. Your yarns are GORGEOUS!!! I’m 21 years old, and I’ve been crocheting for 13 years and knitting for eight. I love socks, cables, and lace. <3
I heard about this giveaway in a email. I love to crochet and knit,plus its a great way to reduce stress. I currently have a few projects I’m working on for Christmas gifts.
I found this giveaway on fb. I love knitting the most. Although, I also crochet and spin. Being able to makes thing like blankets and sweaters by hand for my babies, friends, and family means the world to me. It’s slso so relaxing and gratifying 🙂
I had googled a crochet men’s scarf and found your site. I love making things from crochet, and recently decided to start knitting… but didn’t think I could. I saw a Youtube vid of yours and you were sooo cute! You made the knitting look so easy and I love your quirky and fun personality. I watched several othes, and can’t wait to start. I will make my niece the headband you taught…. Can’t wait! I also want to learn tunisian. Your yarns look gorgeous. Someday, I want to learn to make and dye yarn, as well. There is such freedom in learning a craft! Thanks!
Oh my goodness! The colors are just fabulous. Saw this post from your Facebook post. I’m a self-taught knitter (about 6 years now) and a self-taught crocheter (about 3 years). The yarn actually relaxes me, or its the methodical movements of the needle/hook and yarn together. Anyway, after a rough day, picking up my projects makes the day better.
I heard about this giveaway in an email, and on facebook. Crocheting and Knitting is a gateway to mindfulness which leads to a healing of my heart and mind. It allows me to calm the demons, battle my depression, and live a more loving life.
Hi! I’m Stephen, I have been crocheting and knitting since i was, about 10. I was looking around for free yarn today, and came across this site, and sign me up! I also intend on buying yarn from here, but free ones work too. It’s nice to meet you. How about you check out my blog as well, at DarkDevero.com
I found this giveaway on Pinterest. I crochet and have been for more than 20 years. I am constantly learning and trying new things. I find crocheting a great way to express my creativity:)
I saw the post on Facebook! My sisters and I love to crochet and knit. They are disabled, so it gives them something to keep them busy. We recently opened an Etsy shop to help with medical expenses, and we love to make special things to give others just to brighten their day. 🙂
I heard about the giveaway on facebook. I knit, crochet and spin. I learned to spin from your videos! Knitting means the world to me. I have Lupus and arthritis in my spine. I knit daily and it helps me get thru the day. My knitting goes everywhere. I take it to my monthly infusions and my nurses say my blood pressure lowers as soon as the yarn enters my hands! Would love to win your beautiful yarn.
Hello! I YouTube’d knitting for beginners and your video was the first to pop up. I watched and I am absolutely in love with knitting. I want to learn and be able to make gifts for family and friends. I saw this giveaway when I signed up for the new letters and I love the yarn you sell! I cannot wait to beginning knitting and becoming more advanced. Thank you!
I saw the yarn giveaway on Instagram! Knitting and crochet means time alone to de-stress. Working two different jobs and going to school full time is pretty stressful! Yarn is my getaway time. So relaxing!
I heard about your amazing give away through your facebook page. I love looking at your beautiful yarn, and I hope to buy some soon! My amazing MIL taught me to knit about two years ago when I was desperate for a hobby. It has been life changing. It went from being something I just did for relaxation/ stress relief after a day of teaching middle school to a way to bring in extra cash each month to help support my family more. I taught myself how to crochet by watching YouTube tutorials last year, and my favorite things to make are newborn mermaid tails and mermaid dolls. The yarn in this giveaway would make the most BEAUTIFUL tiny tails for my Maeve the Mermaid dolls that I just launched in my etsy shop yesterday ? the amazing pattern is from The Merino Mermaid.
Hi Chandi,
I love your yarns. The colors are superb. I heard about the giveaway on Facebook and my email. I knit.
Hi I saw this wentry on instagram. I was so excited because I am a passionate knitter and just love to experiment with all types of yarns, wqhich cause me great inspiration to creat beautiful projects,and already wondering what can I create next. Thanks so much!!!
I enjoy knitting gifts, very rarely keeping things for myself. I love to teach knitting, watching a new knitter get excited when it all finally clicks ! To me that’s the best reward ! I’m a self taught knitter and have kept a few things for myself over the years but always wonder why my head or my neck are cold 🙂
My friend who taught me to knit shared your giveaway with me! This color palette is so beautiful! For me knitting and crocheting is a way to LOVE those who are far away and spoil them with handmade treasures from me <3
I follow you on Facebook, every time I see a giveaway I always enter. I knit, I crochet, I weave, I spin and I sew; to me, all of those a both a way to express my creativity and as a way to relax and cope with a stressful job.
I heard about the giveaway through your email. I learned to knit first, then crochet. I lovelove it because I can be creative and share my crafts with my sister, who also knits, and family and friends who receive my goodies.
I saw this on your website. I have been crocheting, knitting and sewing since I was 8, over 50 years. It is such a satisfying, delicious, sensual activity, and I would be lost without the experience of working with yarn and fabric. It soothes my heart and soul and knitting is a meditation for me…. Thank you for providing such exquisite yarns!!!
I found out about the giveaway through Instagram because I follow you, but one day I was looking for some knitting tutorials, as I’m a beginner, and your channel popped up. I fell in love instantly. Knitting is just about the only way for me to calm down and relax. I carry needles and yarn with me everywhere! A couple of years ago I my anxiety level became very high and I had to find a way to control it so someone I knew suggested knitting and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Facebook
Knitting calms and relaxes me.
I heard about this giveaway in your email, but was reminded of it on Instagram.
What knitting means to me can change from day to day. As a stay at home mom to 4 girls (plus two grown girls who are on their own now), who recently moved to a new city,some days, knitting is a calming activity, like visiting with an old friend. Other days, it’s a bit of mental exercise. Still others, it’s a way to meet new people, or an excuse to go exploring in new areas. (Who knows where the next great yarn store might be hiding?)
Since I’ve moved away from my parents, sister, and two of my girls, it’s also a way of of telling each of them, “I’ve been thinking of you. I made you this. I love you.”
Thanks for the opportunity for “stash enhancement”!
Thank you for the opportunity. I hope I am selected.
First off I found your site on Pinterest! Those yarns in the giveaway are my ABSOLUTE favorite colors!!!! They are so beyond beautiful I almost cant stand it! I am disabled and I’ve watched my mom crochet since I was a little girl. Due to my disability its hard for me to go out and do the simple things in life. Crochet for me is an outlet for my emotional expression. The pieces I create with just a hook and some yummy yarn amaze me as well as the recipients of my creations. I find this is so very therapeutic for me…….its hard to put into words how it helps me to feel like I’m contributing to the world one hook & stitch at a time. Thank you.
Saw this on Facebook. Love love! Knitting is my Calgon…Expression Fiber Arts, take me away!
Found out about you from Instagram. My favorite thing is crochet. Just love it. Am back to knitting these days. It’s different but getting used to it. Would love to show my winnings to my group KNITBEIRUT. We meet every Wednesday’s in a bistro or cafe with a group of international specia ladies and gents. We sit have a drink a meal and of course crochet and knit. It lasts 4 to 5 hours without noticing. Hope to try one of yarns. Nathalie
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. I’ve been crocheting for many years. In the past, it was mostly afghans and small giveaways like bookmarks and ornaments, but lately I’ve gotten into wearables. I’m new to the hand-dyed yarn community, having been introduced by a dear friend. I don’t dye myself, but I’m in awe of those who do!
Just saw a Pin for this month’s giveaway on Pinterest. The yarn’s gorgeous colors screamed out to me! I learned to knit from my grandmother and mother YEARS ago, and only recently picked it up again and became addicted to the hobby and YARN! When I knit I feel connected to my Granny and Mom and feel like I am carrying on a tradition….
I get word of these giveaways via email and on Facebook.
Knitting/crochet/spinning is my way of ensuring I spend quality ME time.
My husband also knits, crochets, spins, weaves, so it is a hobby we can share. (Unlike NASCAR, football, woodworking, camping, etc.)
Hey! I learned of this yarn giveaway through your wonderful website. I’ve learned so much through your videos and I absolutely love your yarn!
I heard about Expression Fiber Arts when I purchased Chandi’s Hat from Mamachee, and found out about the giveaway on Facebook after I began following the page. I began crocheting when my husband and I found out we were pregnant for the first time. I have always been a crafty person, and I wanted to make a baby hat to take my baby home in. We didn’t find out the gender of our daughter until she was born, so I made boy and girl and neutral hats and donated the rest to the hospital nursery. I continued crocheting as a way to cope with postpartum depression as a type of therapy, and continue to crochet as a creative outlet.
OH MY GOSH! THESE ARE GORGEOUS! Purple and blue are my 1st and 2nd favorite colors. I’d love to crochet birthday gifts with them. I found out about this giveaway through Instagram.
I hear about your giveaways on email and facebook! knitting/crochet/spinning are for me to help combat depression. and to help keep my mind busy when i get down and bad on myself.
I heard about the giveaway on Facebook. I’ve been knitting for over 10 years. I enjoy the soothing meditative rhythm of knitting. I love to knit for my friends. I think about the person I’m knitting for as I knit…each stitch is filled with love.
I heard about this month’s giveaway on the facebook page. I’ve been crocheting for years and have just recently started knitting. I love yarn and that it provides endless possibilities to be creative.
I saw this on Facebook and was taken aback by the beauty of the yarn. I started crocheting early this year and I am now trying to learn to knit. I love creating accessories but I think I love the yarn itself the most!
I heard about your giveaway through your amazing newsletter! I am a YouTube taught crocheter. When I was out on bed rest while pregnant with my daughter I was going crazy! I needed something to do that wouldn’t put me in labor. So I picked up crocheting.
Learning this has brought my mom and I so such closer together. She is a craft nut. She sews, knits, crochets, etc and now we can bond over different stitches. I even introduced her to the magic circle/ring
I found out about the giveaway from YouTube while watching your beginner crocheting video. I watched the video 2days ago and already have made a few things. I was recommended to start crocheting and knitting to help with my stress and as a alternative to pain management. So far so good! Although now, all I want to do is stitching….lol. anyways, hope I win as I could use the yarn as I really don’t have much at this point and can’t afford much due to our house being destroyed by a storm.
Good luck everyone!
Tonya
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook, the newsletter, and the blog. I have no idea which one was first, but I did see it on al three. I love your work, Chandi. I confess I am a bit jealous! I want to quit my office job and surround myself with yarn. Keep up the great work and thanks for the opportunity to win 🙂
I heard about this from youtube. I would love to win because knitting is one of my new hobbies. I’m a brand new mom, and I would love to knit new thing fo my baby and family. Seeing as how my sleep habits have changed I can use knitting as a way to stay busy while I am awake at random times throughout the day and night.
Thanks.
I found this giveaway while wandering around on pinterest….
Knitting/crocheting /felting is about using each stitch as a mantra – a prayer to infuse the creation with my love and intention for the person who is to receive it…. It is a way of taking the intangible and helping it manifest in a beautiful object….
I learned of your contest by your Facebook posting. Knitting is a multifaceted way of experiencing beauty: the tools, the materials, the end result.
I found you on Facebook. I knit to relax and to keep my fingers moving. I refuse to let my arthritis win!
I found the giveaway on Facebook. Love the colors!
I found your blog from Facebook. I love to crochet, I taught myself several years ago. To me, I love to create something from a ball of yarn, it’s therapeutic. I suffer from arthritis in my knees and back so I turned to crafting and crocheting to keep my mind off of the chronic pain. I would love to learn how to knit, I need someone to help me with that. I have tried to self teach but I am having trouble with that, lol.
Facebook
Knitting is relaxing and productive at the same time
I heard about this wandering around knitting sites. I like to knit. Favorite colors are purple and teal.
Have been a follower of your sites for a couple of months now, just one look and was hooked 🙂 I liked how simple and uncomplicated your projects and way of teaching was, not to mention the encouragement and up beat tone of your blog and your others followers. How did I begin my journey into the fabulous world yarn arts? I guess it’s just a family tradition. I even have some of my mother’s hooks and some of her mother’s needles. As far back as I can remember, there were always crocheted blankets around the house, on beds, throw over the backs of chairs and couches, and stuffed into our linen closets, and it seemed like every time my grandmother visited us she would always be crocheting or knitting away on some project or gift for someone. Eventually when I was old enough my mother taught me how to crochet. It was a neat and fun way for us to have a special bond. I love creating and giving life to my ideas/projects, and love that sense of accomplishment when I finally finish a project 😛 And after my mother passed away six years ago, I am reminiscent of all the good times we shared and feel close to her. I feel it helps me relax when I’m all stressed out and on the other hand gives me a challenge to work on and keep my mind (and hands :p) busy. It gives me that soothing feeling of home.
I found this giveaway on Facebook. I love to knit although I’ve only been doing it a few years now. I especially love your yarns and all the amazingly vibrant color combinations.
I got your announcement in my email as I subscribe to your newsletters. I also saw it on facebook. Your yarns and colorways are so wonderful, I cannot find the words.
I have been crocheting since I was seven years-old; knitting since my early twenties. (don’t know what took me so long.)
Yarn work is my therapy. It relaxes and helps me focus. It centers me. It is also one of my few creative outlets. I always feel my best when I am doing something creative.
Thank you for sharing your talent, and creativity with the rest of us!
All those gorgeous teals and purples brought me here from Facebook! I’d love to knit with some of that yarn!
I follow you on FB! I absolutely love your Peacock colorway and would feel soo lucky to get one of that for my stash!!!
I saw your post on Facebook.
Crocheting relaxes me and gives me a sense of accomplishment. It is also a great conversation starter when I crochet in public.
I love greens and purples together!! Sooo, why is it I gravitate towards browns when I make sweaters for myself??
blues blues blue lov u on facebook and added to my stash
I watched one of your youtube videos and found out about the giveaways!! I was so excited! I literally just started knitting today! I watched one of your videos today, after being interested in learning how to knit so maybe in the near future I could make my family and I some warm scarves, blankets, hats, socks, maybe even sweaters later on; so I don’t have to spend tons of money on buying them store bought. My mother in law knits and crochets and my mom used to knit a while back, so I thought I’d give it a try. 🙂 Thank you for your videos and taking the time to do them. They are very helpful and informative and easy to follow. Thanks!! 🙂
This awesome give away was in my FB newsfeed. I love to crochet to relax and also for the joy of creating something. Something my great grandmother passed on to my mom and she passed on to me.
I heard about your give-away in your email. I’ve been crocheting since I was 9 or 10. I love to crochet gifts for my family, especially my 2 daughters-in-law and my youngest son’s girlfriend, along with my Mom. It’s also my therapy and happy pill!
I found this contest because I have subscribed to EFA blog for a while – your colors are so inspiring to me, and I love seeing what you come up with next!
I saw Facebook newsfeed. Love to crochet, it is such a stress reliever and I get to make items for family, friends and also the needy.
I found your videos on youtube. Your yarn colors are gorgeous. I shared you on facebook and pinterest – I don’t twitter…. I am currently making two granny square blankets for my sons. I have exhausted my yarn supply and winning this would just be wonderful!! Thank you for offering these great yarns. Oh, and your tutorials are easy to follow. I’ve had trouble learning to knit, so I will definitely go back to your videos to get some lessons.
Facebook and I love the experience of knitting and crocheting. The feel of the yarn, the working of my hands. From beginning to end. The fact that I can fix my mistakes, and others, gives me great satisfaction. FUN, FUN, FUN!
The give-away popped up on my FB news feed. Purchased some of your yarn last month, just so happy with it.
I won’t lie, I was searching for yarn giveaways and found a link on pinterest that led to this give away. I’ve been low on money lately so I keep hoping by some amount of dumb luck I’ll win something somewhere.
I’ve been crocheting for about three years. My mother taught me how to chain and one day I just up and decided I wanted to know how to do more than a simple chain. I mean, chains are fun but I didn’t know at the time there was anything I could do with it. So, I went searching youtube and used the tutorials I found there to teach myself.
For me, crocheting is something for me to do when I’m not feeling good. It feels productive and after every project I finish I feel proud of myself for accomplishing something. Then I either donate it or keep it for myself and twice a year I’m able to sell it and make a little bit of money. Crocheting is one of my very favorite things to do in my down time and since I’m sick fairly often it makes me happy to know there is something I can do while watching Netflix. I often have to rewind my videos just because of how caught up i get in my work. Crocheting isn’t my only hobby but it is the only one that really makes me feel good about myself <3
I heard about this giveaway on Facebook. I have love reading everyone’s reason that the use yarn. I do it because it’s calming. When I get into a rhythm it’s like meditation. Focus on the needles, the yarn, your hand. It centers me and give me peace of mind. And at the end I have something to wear and love or give away!
I heard about this contest via Facebook. I am in TN, USA!!
I saw your contest post on Facebook. I love seeing the new yarn colours pop up every day! Even though it’s not his thing, I make my husband look too 🙂
I taught myself to crochet and am now teaching my almost 8 year old daughter! She would be thrilled if we won, because blue is her favourite colour and her birthday is on Monday!
I found your giveaway on Facebook. I crochet and have for almost 16 years. I started as a way to cope with being unable to have children. I became angry and was well on my way to bitter when I picked up a hook and started making blankets for new babies in my circle. I never looked back… and 10 years later I was blessed with a baby of my own room make blankets for.
Heard about giveaway thru email and FB, your yarns are always so beautiful, would dearly love to win, thank you for the opportunity.
My Grandma taught me to knit when I was five years old and I cannot be far from my projects. It was a special bond between us that I treasure. I love the new textures and your colors are fabulous. Everything that I have purchased from you has been top quality and so very soft to work with.I would love to win this month’s giveaway. The colors are gorgous and there is so much I could do with it. Keep giving us such beautiful yarns to work with. Thanks, Betty Ann

I found this website from just looking around on Google and omg! knitting and crocheting means the world to me even though I have only been doing them for a year I have fell in love with it. I don’t make anything for myself I always give everything I make to others to see how happy they are when they get something, I even make my little brother crocheted stuffed animals and he loves them. I have recently started crocheting and knitting for charity to make blankets and cloths for orphans its a great feeling to help others
I found you on Facebook, I crochet and to me it means a lot. I have a neck injury and I cannot do a lot but I can still crochet.
I follow you on Facebook, and saw the announcement there. I crochet for fun and stress relief, and usually end up giving away most of my creations.
LOVE your yarns! I found you one day while I was browsing yarn pages on Facebook. I started knitting two years ago due to back surgery and five months bed rest. Needless to say, I just had my second surgery and just designed my first pattern! I love knitting lace, cables, and anything that lets me play with yarn. I also just made my first crochet project and I want to tackle weaving next. Yay!
on Facebook and Instagram I really enjoy crocheting Love the different colors
I heard about the giveaway via facebook. Knitting is a way for me to relax and make unique gifts for others.
I found this giveaway from just looking at the blog after watching your videos on youtube! I just started knitting and am loving it so far! Thanks for making such wonderful and inspiring videos!
Hi there! I’m on your mailing list, plus I follow you on Facebook, so I always see the giveaways posted there. This one has got some great colors! Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful yarn!
First off thank you. Your YouTube videos taught me how to knit. I have been Knitting now about a month and found that I really enjoy it. Also it keeps my hands busy so I don’t smoke ? I just heard about the give away tonight watching your video on headbands. So thank you and can’t wait to learn more.
I saw this giveaway on FB. I raise my own fiber animals…Shetland sheep and alpaca. I spin, dye, and weave, knit, and felt… I love FIBER!! I have always loved yarn. I love making yarn, using yarn and sometimes it’s enough to just buy it and pet it and keep it, maybe name it George!!?
Love the colors!!! They would make great crocheted clothes!
I heard about your giveaway from a Twitter friend and followed her link. I’ve been knitting and crocheting for the last 45+ years and am also a novice spinner. For most that time, I used synthetic yarns from department stores, not even knowing where “wool” actually came from. After visiting a New England county fair and chatting with some ladies at their spinning wheels, I was fascinated – enthralled! – with the discovery of natural fibers, their attributes, their differences, and I’ve never been the same. I love the feel of natural fibers through my fingers. I love creating projects that talented, creative designers have made and watching them come to life in my hands. I usually have several knit and crochet projects going at once so I’m never bored, and I love giving handmade gifts. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
I follow your blogging! I usually check it while I am at work, I know, I know I’m naughty lol. I have a lot of down time at work. Cabling is one of my next challenges!
I read about it on this blog! Knitting is learning, creating, blessings and so much more to me! Love it!
Hi! I found about this giveaway on Facebook right after I placed my first yarn order with you. It was very difficult to stay in my budget perusing your offerings but I survived!! I’m not a sit still girl, always have to be busy with something. Knitting and crochet skills were gifts to me from my mother and grandmother. What better way to keep busy when listening to TV or the radio. I love color and texture and knitting gives me my daily dose. Besides, I have something useful to show for my relaxation time!
Found this giveaway just in time on Facebook. The yarn is gorgeous…..such beautiful colors!
Good luck to all, but I hope I win!
I’m an avid knitter and was just perusing knitting websites when I came across this giveaway. Knitting is a huge part of my life, especially during our cold autumns and winters. I’m already busy with holiday knitting! The yarn is absolutely gorgeous!
I read about this Giveaway on one of the emails you sent. Ever since I was 8 years old my mom would try to teach me how to crochet. She taught me how to make a small coin pouch and I tried to make a scarf of my own for the winter however, I wasn’t very good at it at the time so I stopped when I was 10. Just last year when I was talking to my friend about knitting, I remembered how I used to crochet so I decided to find my old crochet hook and make a scarf again. This time, I found it a lot easier and I felt so relaxed while I was doing it. After finishing my scarf I started to do more research on different patterns and my mom bought me more crochet hooks of different sizes since I only had one. I also made an amigurumi rabbit for my newborn niece for the first time and it was a big success! I watched a lot of videos and picked up on how patterns worked and tried to create my own. Many of my friends do tease me about it because I’m 16 and I like to stay at home and crochet all day, but I just find it SO therapeutic, I wouldn’t stop for anything. Recently, I looked over your emails and couldn’t stop wondering how the colors of your yarn always matched the pictures you posted them with. After I found out that you made your own yarn, I was so surprised that it was even possible so I watched more spinning videos and looked for any guilds I could join to borrow a spinning wheel and learn how to spin. I learned that spinning wheels are very expensive and require maintenance so I look up beginner spinning classes with the drop spindle and am starting next Sunday.

Hi Chandi,
I love your yarns! Saw the giveaway on Facebook this time. I love knitting especially because it’s like a kind of meditation and yet I can also express my artistic sensibilities and create gifts that people love to receive. My current passion is socks, but I also am delighted to know how to knit clothing for myself and my children that we are proud to wear!
Facebook…gorgeous colours!!!
This amazing giveaway was on my FB newsfeed, the stunning yarn immediately caught my attention. I crochet because it helps me keep my anxiety and depression under control, and in the process, I have made some wonderful things for friends and loved ones. I am looking forward to learning more about your product, and patterns!!
I am a life long crocheter and as recent self-taught spinner. I recently fell and broke my hip and have spent many hours crocheting during my recuperation. I have just begun to spin as rehab. Thank you for your updates that let me know about your contests.
I saw your post on Facebook. Your yearns are positively yummy. I have been knitting and crocheting for fifty years.i craft for relaxation and gift friends and family with items that can not be bought.
