Ooooooo……I love July. Already have a couple of projects in mind!
Thank you for your kindness and generosity and positivity. It is so needed right now.
I just had to get a Gradient Sea set. Your story touched my heart. You are indeed a beautiful soul❤️
A reversible hat, a coat sweater, and the MKAL blanket!
Just wanted to say that I am in love with your YouTube and all of the wonderful vibes that you bring to your channel!! It inspired me to start my yarn journey.
Wow! I’m so humbled. Thank you so much and good luck to this month’s contestants 💕 I can’t wait to start working on my next project
Wow Keri Duff lucky girl! So enjoy all your yarn! All so beautiful 😍
My current wip is a sweater for my MILove. I’m excited about joining in the journey of expression fiber arts.
Congratulations! I won a few years ago. It’s such a lovely experience!
Hello, the yarn is beautiful! Currently working on a rectangle shawl. This yarn giveaway would work nicely for any of the shawls and wraps I’m wanting to do.
Congratulations
Congratulations, Keri! 💕
I would love to use some of your yarn. I am crocheting shawls with long, slow gradient changes. They will be beautiful.
Congrats Keri!!!
Hi! Currently I am working on your Sugarblush Shawl and I’m loving it. It’s incredibly pleasant to work, so calming and soothing giving me a chance to relax a bit during this hectic time in my life. I am also crocheting my temperature blanket and I’m incredibly proud of myself that I made it to the 6 month mark. My hopes were low for finishing it because it takes so long and time is both your enemy and a friend. But I’m actually surprised how much fun I’m having with it. I had no idea it is possible to have emotional reactions to the temperature changes, even if it’s just 1 degree. It also made me think of the weather changes and how strange it has become where I live. I plan on developing my knitting abilities (I only know the very basics) and perhaps soon Gradient Sea will become a WIP on my needles. Your video hit close to home for me. Anyway, I wish you a beautiful day and a tasty meal!
Hi Sophie,
thank you for sharing this. 😍
Hope you start the Gradient Sea shawl soon, I’m sure you’ll do great.
Beautiful shades of yummy yarn! I like to make cozy cowls, but when the weather is hot, I prefer to sew. I do miss having a portable project, so if I sit under ac, I can crochet.
Thanks for this lovely give-away❣
Hi! Chandi , I’m in love knitting because of your miraculous channel and your beautiful work. I’m working on a lace pattern shawl. Bye, love you 🙂
Currently working on a baby blanket for my new granddaughter due the 14th of this month.
Grazie per tutti i tuoi bellissimi progetti. Mi sono innamorata di tutti. Ancora devo decidere cosa fare. Uno è più bello del altro. Colazione è meravigliosa. Un caloroso abbraccio a Te e tutti che ti circondano.
I’m finishing up a knitted shawl for myself using Dewy DK.
I’m currently working on baby booties and children’s socks. Hope to finish a sweater for myself that has been hibernating for a while.
Chandi – Thank you again for another beautiful yarn giveaway!! I’m currently in a slump and to answer your question I’m not working on anything right now. I hope you and Tim and everyone else at EFA are having a wonderful holiday. 🇺🇸
I have several wips ….. summer socks for my husband, a baby blanket for a girlfriend & washcloths for my disabled mom. Love knitting!
I started a sportweight pullover in a merino/silk/linen blend last night, and I’m working on a test knit of a pair of fingering-weight fingerless mitts.
More beautiful yarns that I’d love to add to my growing stash! I’m currently working on all of the EFA a-longs right now! They are keeping me busy and in between I’m also working on World Tour and Montastraea.
I can’t get enough of these beautiful, soft and squishy yarns! Thanks Chandi and team for being a ray of sunshine!
Mila Chandy. Moc děkuji za Vaše příspěvky. Obsahují spoustu inspirace, jsou úžasné, příze hladí po duši. Vždy se těším na něco nového. Já dokončuji šálu letní pavučiny. Bude to dárek k 50 letům od svadby tety a strýce. A pokouším se o tašku ze šňůr. Moc vás zdravím z Česka. Míla
I’m currently working on the MKAL and MCAL in addition to a couple of test patterns. Thank you for the giveaways. You are too generous.
Omg I love all the greens! I really hope I win!! 💕
I’m currently working on a cotton summer shawl as well as a bunch of cotton dish towels and trivets.
Hi Chandi,
Thank you for your beautiful July give away. I was tempted to make your last crochet shawl but I didn’t have the right yarn so I’m holding off till I can get it. It would be awesome to win your giveaway then I would surely have your beautiful yarn to try and crochet the shawl pattern. Currently I’ am working on a Summer Top. It’s a knitting pattern and it’s the first time I’ve ever knitted anything more complicated than knit and purl.
I love your newsletters and I look forward to getting them. Good Luck to Everyone!
Continuing with several different projects, both knit and crochet
Really beautiful colors! I love these shades of green pink violet… thank you.
I am working on a garden lantern
So many projects!
Mystery KAL, a sweater for myself, a hat for my mom, and working on figuring out what to make for my family (roughly 10 people) for our homemade Christmas.
I’m almost finished my second sweater. Just the sleeves left to go!
I just started a new shawl today after finally untangling the yarn! It’s the first pattern and skein I ever got from my LYS, but the project has been on hold for years because I lost my original copy of the pattern and was distracted by all the possibilities I would see on sites like this or Ravelry. I have at least five projects on my needles right now, but I reorganized my stash and that old skein caught my attention again, so I felt like it was time to cast on.
The Chocomania Shawl, my never-ending Christmas hat project, and getting ready for a dishcloth a long
I love this colorway – I’m currently knitting Two Tendrils Shawl by Jennifer Weissman, a good winter shawl.
I’ve just started two blankets for my grandchildren – one knit and one in tapestry crochet, which I’ve never tried before. I also have two knitted wraps in progress, one using some of your beautiful yarn (the lustre worsted).
Gorgeous colours. I already have some projects in mind for summer tops.
July yarns are so beautiful and perfect summer colors. I’m currently working on several pairs of socks. There are so many fantastic patterns to choose from, it’s hard to decide.
I just finished a couple of shawls for my mom and my sister and a beret for my other sister🥰 💞 ❣️
I’m holding mohair together with another yarn for the first time, in a slouchy v-neck jumper.
working on cirrus top and a sweater (my own pattern) I’m a mixed media artist and I love all colors.
I’m still working on my second Prolongation, beautiful🥰
Hi Chandi,
I’m currently working on my second Fall Gloaming with Fingering yarn. I love this pattern 🙂
I am currently working on the Wilbraham shawl in the gorgeous copper patina yarns. The yarn was a Mothers’ Day gift and I have enjoyed every stitch so far. –Anne
Hi Chandi! I found out that I had cancer and had surgery about three weeks ago to remove it from my forehead and skull. They removed part of my skull and replaced it with titanium mesh and muscle and a skin graft from my left arm. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to knit or crochet again but as soon as my doctor told me to exercise that arm I started knitting on a Gansey Afghan. I tell you what…….. tears of joy were shed. I haven’t tried to knit socks yet but I bet they will be fine! Praise God! The doctors are sure they got all the cancer but still want me to undergo chemo and radiation.
Catherine, I’m so sorry to hear that! I wish you a quick recovery and am very happy that you’re able to craft again. What a relieve it must be! Take care.💕
Hey, I just had a cancer surgery, too! Mine did not affect my arms/hands though. I’m so glad you are still able to knit! I’m recovering well; I hope you are too!
I recently finished crocheting the shawl Stingray and am now knitting the top Cumulus. I am also crocheting the CAL Hearthside and knitting the CAL Perseverance.
Every month I can hardly wait for the new clues. The blankets are growing each month.
Thank you Chandi <3
Once again you spoil us with these beautiful and uniquely colourful yarns. For the first time, I'm trying to create my own pocket shawl and i wouldn't mind being able to create it in Expression Fibres, what an exciting outlook for my next project.
Love your inspiring mails, keep it up!
at the moment I’m crocheting a long triangular scarf using two colors, a gradient and a white. I always wanted to make a striped scarf and now I am!
I started working on DIAMOND GRID TRIANGLE SHAWL. It’s going well. Like some one you , I have been on a SLUMP! to get myself out . L picked up this project.
The color ways are Amazing.
Loving the Alpaca Silk Lace
I’m currently knitting a linen sweater and crocheting a blanket 🙂
I taught myself to crochet during the lockdowns (thanks to some of your videos on YouTube), so am still somewhat a newby. I am currently making a shawl – my third – which I had to unpick only once, to figure it out. The first shawl pattern I tried, I had to unpick five times (at least) before I figured it out. So, things are improving.
I have several projects on my hooks and needles, but they all came to a standstill for the moment, my arm and hand were operated on beginning of May, so still recovering, my pattern library has grown a lot.. this yarn bundle is Delish, sure would like it to jump on my needles and hook, take care
Working on a test knit.
I’m currently knitting my first pair of socks. Really enjoying doing them I also have a cotton cardigan on the go, think it is feeling a little unloved, because of the socks 😂
Currently working on 2 test tops and a couple of shawls, gifts most of them. I need to explain i have to have lots of WIPs so I can actually keep knitting, I’m suffering amongst other things from fibromyalgia and arthritis so that all of my joints are dissolving.
By using lots of different needles, needle sizes and yarns and changing between them at very regular intervals as well as using tube bandages, I can still crochet and knit. I can’t imagine having to live without crafting.
Hello Chandi,
I’m currently working on a pair of vanilla socks. 2nd one almost finished. Also have 2 wips in progress. A linen t-shirt with Kestrel yarn and a sweater from Andrea Mowry.
Keep those beautiful colors coming.
I am working on Christmas gifts just now…. I would love to win something like this… I already have a few people in mind with those GORGEOUS colors!!! Good Luck to everyone!!
I’m currently working on a crochet cat amigurumi for my sister and a pair of socks for my grandma 🙂
Test knitting a sweater currently. I love test knitting, if I were to knit something solely for myself it would take me ages to complete. For whatever reason I love deadlines, and knitting. So far this year I’ve completed 3 sweaters, a cardigan, and 3 pairs of socks, and each one has fond memories similar to that of a KAL project. Thanks and happy knitting!
I had a terrible weekend. Apparently, socks are my comfort knitting.
Working on Entangle. Love the 4 row repeat.
I’m currently working on your Hearthside and Perseverance Cal/Kal, making some gift baskets for my daughter’s hen night, a cardigan and a hat for our neighbour’s Chrismtas gift. It’s good having some small and larger, complicated and easier projects on the go as I can choose the project I most want to do depending on mind space and weather!
Hello darling Chandi!! What an amazingly generous giveaway. Someone is going to be extremely lucky and pleased to win!!
I am currently having fun with the challenges from Tour de Fleece, as well as making a very detailed market bag. The texture is turning out beautifully! I’m very pleased.
What beautiful and generous giveaway. I am currently knit a feather and fan wide scarf for my sister in law for her 65th birthday, in her favourite colours. I hand dyed and hand spun the yarn from a 70/30 Corriedale/ merino blend. I have to have it finished before the end of the month.
I’m currently working on Entangle. I just finished Sulenkti & my knitting skills are starting to improve! Thank you for these lovely giveaways. Congrats to leat months winner!
Omg greens!!! 🥰.
I’m working on a sample knit right now (hope to get it done in a couple days) I have to be monogamous in order to get it done quickly….
I SO want to do all the things! I have at least 4 I want, ok, 2 I need to finish, but I’m waiting on, you got it, more yarn!!! (Yes, from you!!)
Hopefully luck will be on my side, July IS my bday month!!
I confess to knitting a scarf! Let’s just not mention my other WIPs! Knitting is so relaxing, and my project always ends up fitting! LOL!
I made something rather unusual 😉 last month: a trellis for the sweet peas in my windowbox – crocheted in the round with chains and trebles, it looks like a spiderweb, so cute. Next will be some small project like chair socks or felted slippers. There’s too much to do in the garden…
Congratulations KERRI DUFF!!!!!
I am working on Perseverance, MCAL Heartside, Summer KAL Sulenkti.
Thank you Chandi and all other workers with EFA, for all of your stunning work and beautiful colors of yarn. I love it…..
I would love to try your yarns but it’s a little Hugh-priced for me. I love making blankets and these yarns would be perfect.
Currently working on a cotton dress for my daughter, and occasionally poking at a hoodie for myself. The latter I’m sorta making up a I go along, so it’s a bit more difficult…😅 especially since I keep putting it down to work on other things, like continuing to fix my house! Someday I’ll finish it, though…
Wow, what a beautiful selection of yarns! I just love those greens! Currently, I have in the works wool hats for veterans (knitting), a baby blanket (crochet) and just finishing up 30 hats for school kids (Addi knitting machine). I am getting ready to start your Gradient Sea shawl for myself! I love your videos and yarns!!
Currently working on a thick fluffy blanket requested by my husband, but it’s been paused for a while because it’s just so hot where we live. Thank you so much for yet another beautiful and generous giveaway!
Currently I’m test knitting a cowl for EFA and doing the MKAL and MCAL, plus a couple pair of socks, cardigan, washcloths…the list goes on! Frankly, I need to retire to get it all done, lol.
Yahoo July I have à couple of idea i can do with those yarns.Love it.😻
Currently I am working on an Arran jumper for hubby. It’s been an on off project for years now as I take time out to knit for the grandkids( they’re growing he isn’t is my excuse) a shawl for me, and a top for me. 😂
I am working on socks and more socks. I’ve been having a hard time focusing on any single project lately so I just cast on different socks.
I really want to cast on a shawl, but until I get my mojo back…., But I have to say, the yarn give away this month is devine so who wouldn’t be excited to cast on with it?.
Hey Chandi 👋 thank you so much for your giveaways each month… I love the colors 💕
Actually I’m working on a shawl for my little girl and I hope to start my first sweater after this.
I’m currently working on afghans for my granddaughters for Christmas. By the way, I love your yarns and designs!
Always beautiful colors! But I also know how wonderful it is to knit with. At the moment ai’m knitting Lampy.
Hi, thanks for another lovely giveaway! I am currently working on the Apple Orchard cardigan, but holding now for pattern updates. I’ve put that aside until they come and started the Beatrix Blanket from Yarn magazine. Several other WIPs I need to get back to soon. Can’t wait to retire at the end of August so I have more time to stitch!
I’m currently branching away from crochet and trying my hand at knitting. I am working on “My First Sweater” thanks to the wonderful video tutorial from Chandi. My sweater is turning out great and I am especially grateful for the detailed instructions for connecting the underarm sections to the body…seamless in appearance!!! I’m loving how this sweater is turning out!!! Thank you Chandi…I have confidence to now try most any knitting pattern!!!
Working on some mobius fidget toys for my niece’s classroom.
What gorgeous yarns! I am currently working on a pair of socks.
Love these colors, so pretty and are some of my favorites.
I’m just starting to do gauge swatches for the Rose Dust Sweater for my July project.
Cast on…my friend’s first thought is that it’s time to go fishing, mine is which knitting project will I start next! Totally different hobbies, but both Totally relaxing! Love your inspiration!
Je travaille sur un gilet d’été actuellement. Et j’aimerais bien avoir un très beau cadeau 😁
After crocheting kola street Currently I’m working on darcy.
I am currently almost finished my Sulentki Shawl, and am also working on another shawl, a sweater and a vest! I always have numerous projects of varying sizes and degrees of difficulty on the go, so I can choose which one I feel like working on depending on how I’m feeling that day!
Oh! Such beautiful yarns in scrumptious colors! I always have several projects on the needle and hook! Some are “portable”, always have one with me. I am working on a baby/lap size blanket I started while my daughter was in the hospital last summer, want to get it done!
I cast on Gradient Sea last night using 68 stitches for a slightly wider scarf. Unfortunately not using EFA wool but it’s looking nice and doing the job of allowing me to switch off from problems and think more positively. Thank you Chandi
I’m currently working on the crossater wrap for my daughter and I’m amazed how it’s turning out!! I’ve never won a giveaway before and simply love your beautiful yarns. I adore how you put your heart into them and you use only the best.
Lovely, Gorgeous yarn as always! I see some shawls or a Very Nice Sweater with those colors!
Socks on the needles for the Hot summer. Woolly shawl w a bit of lace flower pattern – for a different project.
What stunning colors! I’m working on a scarf – not very exciting, but it will be warm in the winter!
I have at least 9 projects on needles🤣 my main focus right now are two of them. A baby blanket I’m working on with 6 different knitters, for my niece’s first baby due in October and a prayer/care shawl for my friends Mom who is 91 and looking for a place is assist living.
Wow! Gorgeous yarns as usual. I have been working on a cable crochet sweater dress for myself, hopefully I will be making my daughter one too.
I started a shawl but have put it aside as a friend had asked me to make her a pair of socks. She wants a low cuff so they should go quick.
I’m working on a test knit cardigan for Laura Aylor and I’m doing the EFA MCAL! Also have several other WIPs.
A ribbed tank in a gorgeous marine blue shade. I love summer knitting! Loving the blue shades in this selection as well <3
Such wonderful yarn. I just using Blue Goldstone and started your MCAL. Better late than not at all.
That is some beautiful yarn. I’m just finishing up the Zakret summer shawl. It is being block right now. This was my first time working with the blossomimg yarn and I love it. The yarn is so soft. If I win this yarn there are so many of your patterns that I would love to work on.
Working on summer CAL, a crochet shawl with lace weight yarn that’s taking me for-ev-er 🤪 & some pinwheel potholders that are fast & easy! Have a Wonderful day!
Currently finishing up a baby blanket a friend started for her nephew but couldn’t finish then eager to get back to the cardigan I’m making for my mom.
Almost ready for a new project- yeahhh ! And I’m on vacation in my home country so far away from my stash which means I have to buy new yarn 🙌🙌 Have a great summer Helle Bo
Working on a shawl. Your yarns are beautiful!,
I’m working on a dress, next up will be one of the pairs of Yoga socks you have
Hello Chandi! Your cheerful greetings always make me smile, thank you for sharing your loving spirit with us all. 🙂
A couple of weeks ago, I went on a shopping spree and purchased several of your patterns. Right now I’m working on the “Darcy”shawl and it’s a super fun pattern to work on!
The colors are stunning! I see projects in my mind just looking at them. Currently, I am crocheting the Hearthside blanket, but have had to rip it out a couple times, so I’m very far behind. I am also knitting my first half-pi shawl. Thank you so much for this giveaway!
I’m actually spinning now but thinking about starting a sweater. I have a vanilla shawl on the needles and several other projects started.
Hi Chandi,
I’m working my first sweater with the Sakuro? Hues and ivory DK. It is such a lovely yarn. I have changed the pattern twice to get the right mix and with what I’m finally satisfied with. Working with 3 hues and ivory has been a challenge and exciting project. I hope to have the sweater finished by end of July (started May 1st!) and wear it on our trip to Atlantic Canada. I’ll send a picture to you when I’m done. Thank you too for showing your video about mixing skeins and carrying yarn along.
I am currently working on a 2 color brioche scarf
First – congratulations to Keri!
Currently I am participating in the MKAL and the Sulenkti KAL.
There is also a scarf on my needles – using yarn left over from my Storyteller.
Rather unusual for me to have multiple projects going at once.
Thank you for the beautiful yarns and patterns…and a chance to win!😊
Gorgeous yarn! I am currently working on a fair isle sweater in burgundy fingering wool yarn. Enjoying the color work so far!
Beautiful yarn as always! I just finished a top in pearlescent fingering and have my yarn all balled up for Keziah in the luster sport cosmic hues gradient. So excited!
Hi, I have 7 projects on my needles and as mant I am thinking of. Hope your summer is beautiful and eelaxing.
Love the yarns, getting ready to start the Mantlemist
I am currently working on a crocheted shawl in fingering weight merino.
I am currently working on a shawl!
I’m knitting the Gardergate Sweater by Jennifer Steingass. The body is completed, and I’m currently half way through the first sleeve 🙂
Currently I am working on a pair of partner look-scarves for the surgeon whose skill helped me to get out of the wheelchair and his wife.
I am working down a gift list containing something for all the doctors and nurses that were involved in trying to give me back a life outside the wheelchair.
I’m currently doing a test knit: a lovely pair of palazzo-style pants with a honeycomb cable up the leg.
I’m currently working on a pair of toe-up socks. I was looking at The Rift pattern and thinking it would be amazing in your Dewey DK. Might be next.
Can’t wait to get back to my favorite hobby, just had Reverse Shoulder Replacement surgery, looking forward to many projects through Expression Fiber Arts. Love this site. Wishing everyone a Wanda-ful day.
I am currently working on a warm weather shawl for the upcoming cool evenings. The colors and types of yarn you offer are amazing. Thank you
A happy hello! What am I working on? As a beginner knitter, I thought a KAL would help build my confidence and encourage me to learn new skills. Can I get a ‘heck yeah?’ I joined the Sulenkti KAL and I’m loving it. Your Blossom Fingering was my first high quality yarn experience, having practiced for months and months on inexpensive big box yarn. What a difference! Knitting with this delicious yarn is six scoops of amazing. So much so that I jumped at the opportunity to pre-order the Antique Rose Hues Crema Sock. When it arrived I couldn’t stop cuddling it. My dog got jealous. I’m using it for the Turbulence shawl and it’s a joy to knit; like moving meditation.
Yesterday, I indulged in the Raging Tempest Crema Sock and am planning to nervously and excitedly venture into my first fitted top. I think I’m going to try the Cumulus tee.
Thank you Chandi and your wonderful team for all you do to enable us to immerse ourselves in the glorious experience of fiber arts.
These colors speak directly to my soul!! Love the whole palette! Currently working on an alpaca cardigan for my brother and a set of hand towels as a house-warming present! It’s been fun to try new stitch patterns and play around with color. Definitely have been letting a silk shawl I started languish, but I promised myself I’d get back to it! Hope you are having a great day!
Working on blankets for our hospital’s palliative care unit. Love your quote on soaking up this day…. Raining today so I am enjoying seeing and hearing how happy the songbirds are and blooms developing on our sweet peas and hostas.
I’m currently working on a cotton baby blanket. It’s coming out quite pretty, but taking ages!
I’m working on 2 shawls right now. One in crochet and one in knit. I’m unsure of my yarn selection in the knit ( it’s a MKAL), so it’s in a timeout until I decide what to do
I just finished the gorgeous Fall Gloaming shawl which used your lovely Pearlescent Worsted in Wayfaring Hues. Gorgeous yarn!!! Now, waiting for the 2 weeks of winter we get living in Florida to enjoy wearing it.
I’m working on Mello Kitty top using Pearlescent Fingering and a mix of other yarns. Coming out great!
These colors look amazing! I’m currently working on the harukaze poncho. I take some breaks to work on some amigurumi on the side as well.
Absolutely gorgeous colors – and you’ve captured the softness in your photos!
I am working on a light weight cropped cotton lace jacket. I can’t wait to finish it, it’ll be perfect for a cool summer evening and a cool fall or spring day.
Thank you for the giveaways, I’m liking forward to see who wins this one, love the colors this month. ☺️
Hi Chandi , I am starting to crochet again after over 30 years. . . What better way to start with Tradewinds in Enigmatic hues., with your YouTube video I feel confident that I can do it. I love your selection for your July contest 🤞 💕
The 2022 MKAL, trying to anyway. Thank you Chandi. Love watching your videos.
Good morning! I hope yours is starting out as fabulous as mine.
I am currently finishing up a MKAL shawl. I’m not sure what’s next for new projects, but I have a couple WIPs languishing that need to be done.
Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first shipment from you to make the shawl Gradient Sea! Until then, I am working on a baby blanket. I like to keep them ahead for baby showers.
I am casting on lovely long hair mink cashmere this morning. It arrived yesterday but I had a project to complete. My new project is the Entre Lac shawl for my new DIL to wear with her gown during their February, 2023 wedding.
I have sooo many baby projects to work on! This has taught me that guage is oh so important, I also learned that I’m a tight crochet and knitter! I really want to make the entangle shawl. It’s soo beautiful 😍
I’m just finishing up my very first garment- a crocheted summer tee!
Hi Chandi. I just love your patterns. I recently finished Verano and now would like to start Crossaster.
My current project is a blanket I’m crocheting as a wedding gift for my cousin. 🙂
On the needles? A multi-year project: mitre-square blanket for a queen-size bed, out of sock yarn. A Sweater for me – just need to finish the sleeves and weave in ends. A cowl/shawl for a knitting retreat in September. A pair of mittens [on the second one] and a hat for my Thursday charity knitting. In line, waiting for a spot? A sweater for a BFF and a tunic for me.
I have really put my current project “on the back burner.” I started it in the FALL. It is the first sweater that I have ever attempted to knit, and I am pretty happy with it so far! I stopped mid-way thru one sleeve. I also have the other sleeve to complete along with a bit more of the body. I need to get this project back out again!
I like to have at least 2 projects going at a time. One easy (wine compatible), one more complicated (coffee required)
I’m working on the Sulentki KAL. It’s my first KAL, and I am, so far, ahead of the game. I am almost finished with the 2nd repeat. I am modifying the pattern a little, because I made a mistake on the first section and liked the way it looked, so I am continuing it on the subsequent repeats!
I’m finishing a sweater for my hopefully future daughter in law. . . I bribe her with needlework to stick around and join the family – cross fingers!
I’m currently working through the Journey shawl!
Currently im actually working on sewing an 8 panel circle skirt.
I love the colors! I am working on a summer top.
Hi Chandi,
I’m actually working on multiple projects right now. A crochet shrug, a Tunisian blanket and loom weaving. Knitting is the first thing I learned as a child and then moved on to crochet but recently you have inspired me to go back to knitting as I see all the beautiful knitting projects you’ve done with these gorgeous yarns. Your work is exquisite.
I’m currently knitting the Affiknity Cardigan by Patty Lyons. I finished the back section and now working on the front left piece. This is my first time working a real project with cables AND pockets! I love the challenge and seeing how I can create something so complex and beautiful.
Hi! I am Lidia. Now I am working on the Entangle Shawl. It’s soo beautiful and I like very much this pattern. It is very relaxing to knit. I want to thank you for your giveaway yarn and for all that you and your team do. Wish you a beautiful summer!
Ooh … these are some beautiful soothing colors you’ve curated for this give away! Just makes you want to exhale Ahhhh 🙂 I have recently finished a summer tee – just need to weave in some ends. Then the hard part is deciding what to make next. I know I’d love to make Gradient Sea soon. I absolutely love this pattern and the way that you have honored your Dad’s memory with your skills & talents and the work of your own hands. Your choice of colors and earthy yarn are such a beautiful way to keep his memory alive. I too grew up by the sea as a little girl and could really relate to your story and the way you’ve used these gorgeous calming sea like colors. I look forward to knitting this! Thank you so much for sharing your heart and your beautiful yarn with us. xox
I’m working on the Arioso Tank Top using Blossom Fingering. I was about to give up, thinking the lace section looked horrible. But I decided to wet block it first before deciding and wow! So I’m going forward with the project. Also, though not a actual project, I’m working on enhancing my skill set to include short rows and a couple of other goodies I’ve stumbled across.
I am working on prayer shawls. My church gives them to people with cancer and those that are home bond with other illnesses.
Currently working on a pair of socks for my brother’s birthday. First time in a few years that he’s getting them late. His birthday was in May! 🙁
I love all of the gorgeous colors of yarn! I’m currently working on Harukaze and Cable Wings, then hopefully moving on to Gradient Sea. I love working multiple projects!
I’m currently working on a beautiful pair of socks for my mom and my very first shawl. (and loving it!) I have my eye on the Milla shawl next. I’m totally hooked on shawls now! Lol. Socks and shawls are so much fun to knit!
I just finished up your first sweater pattern and am using the remaining yarn to knit up a pillow for my niece who is off to university in a few weeks.
I am testing a beautiful blanket with lots of techniques!
I have (too) many WIPs. I have one project that requires full concentration and much stitch counting, one project for my evening, relaxing crochet (your Adalia shawl), and two projects that require no concentration for when I’m too tired to read a pattern (blankets for donation). I am picturing the beautiful shawls the yarn in the giveaway will make! Thank you, as always, for all your lovely patterns and the chance to win beautiful yarn.
Each month more lovely than than the month before. 😉
Beautiful yarn! I’m working on a tote bag for myself!
I have crocheted for years, but I recently learned to knit by watching your videos and by using one of your kits (beanie). Thank you! I’m currently doing both to make dishcloths for the military through a project at our library. Appreciate your inspiration!
Thank you for your enthusiasm. It brightens my day. I am working on the knit along blanket and between clues trying to subdue my pile of works in progress.
I am working on a scarf for Xmas, worked in a crazy frizzy yarn I got at a shop hop a few years ago.
Good morning! I am working on a cotton crochet patchwork blanket for my daughter who is going off to college in August! I’ll miss her terribly, but am so excited for her and proud of her… sending a piece of my heart to school with a piece of my love, in the form of a comforting blanket. Just so happens to be made in blues and greens, like this gorgeous giveaway yarn!
I’m working on an infinity cowl, to learn how to use a provisional cast on, and how to graft stitches. I’m using your sparkle fingering yarn 🙂
I finished up Clue 5 in both warm & cool versions of the Hearthside CAL; I am working on your summer CAL as well Zakret. AND I have 3 sections of the succulent garden wrap done but a long way to go!
Also have 2 blankets in progress; a temperature blanket & a star shaped blanket that just needs 6 more rounds but each round takes a LONG time at this point!!!! 🙂
What a beautiful set of “beach” colors!
I am working on a shawl of my own design. Fingers crossed it will turn out!
Hi Chandi and EFA team, hope all is well. Congrats to the June winner! 🥳 far, I am working on Lily (almost finish🤞) and as a beginner knitter, Entangle is giving me a little challenge. Loving your yarns and patterns. Have a great July and stay safe. 😊👋🧶
Currently working on a blanket for my daughter.
I am on the third section of the Lilly shawl right now, and a friend and I just purchased the yarn to start accretion next!
Mainly I am working on packing to move from Alabama to Pennsylvania at the end of this month, but I sneak in a few stitches of the blanket mkal every chance I get! These yarns would look beautiful in my new to us 160 year old home!!!
I LOVE the colors in this month’s giveaway! Looks like lots of us like this color combination. I’m currently using your Rosy Future Blossom Fingering yarn to knit my THIRD CocoKnits Veronika sweater/poncho combination. This yarn is just a dream!
Hi,
Thanks for these opportunities. I’m working on the Galene shawl and love it.
Jean Shipman
I’m working on a baby blanket and a cardigan. The cardigan has been dragging on because other projects (mostly gifts) have interrupted it. I look forward to the completion of the blanket so I can return my focus to the cardigan.
Really are my colors this month. I am currently working on knitting two shawls and a baby sweater as well as learning to spin on my E-spinner for Tour de Fleece
Blankets, blankets, blankets… Working on the EFA KAL blanket, finishing a blanket with a border, and started a blanket for my niece.
I have 2 WIPs at the moment but I lost my son a couple of months ago and haven’t felt like knitting. A designer friend named her new cowl in memory of him so I am hopeful it gives me my knitting mojo back.
I’m doing some hand-quilting, working on a pillowcase doll, and knitting a prayer shawl. I absolutely love the colors of the yarn giveaway! You and your staff continue to outdo yourselves!
So many wonderful patterns and yarn! Thank you to you and your team for all that you do.
I’ve got an early start on a Muscadine shawl as a gift to my mom and will be starting the Gradient Sea when my Twisted Tweed arrives – so excited!
Hola bonita y siempre amable Chandi. 😊 Ahora tengo en mi ganchillo a SEGUE, me encanta!!! Es una labor muy interesante, cómoda de tejer y está quedando muy bien a pesar de no estár usando tu maravilloso hilo, he conseguido una versión parecida de una mezcla de merino y seda en colores matizados de crema, azul con toques de burdeos y marrón. Espero terminarlo éste mes. Un abrazo enorme y mucha suerte para todos.
Chandigarh I love your beautiful spirit! Your yarns and patterns are phenomenal!
Hi! I am a sockaholic, so I am always working on at least 2 pairs (one I call the “car socks” – I knit while my husband is driving to keep me from freaking out!) Also seem to be up to my ears in baby projects these days – blankets and sweaters! (Not for me – that ship sailed ages ago! A lot of the nurses I work with are young and starting families, so…) I LOVE your yarns – have worked with a couple of different ones. The colors are amazing.

I am currently working on crocheting some granny squares ( I have 8 done) with peacock coloring. These will be made into a afghan that I’ll probably keep. I have enjoyed getting patterns from here to test out.
Gorgeous yarn! I am working on a Casapinka cowl and the MKAL blanket.
Beautiful! I love the combo of blues and greens together. Yummy!
I am working on the summer knit along. I love the EFA yarn I bought…Blossom fingering!!
My WIP is Darcy, loving the richness of the yarn and the color is just gorgeous
0mgoodness! I am working on so many projects right now. For Christmas, believe it or not. I just finished one blanket, I am in the middle of two blanket crochet alongs that will take the year, til December to finish and with oneof the blanket cals I’m learning to do Tunisian crochet. I am also crocheting a scarf and I just finished a shawl that I’m giving away as a birthday present and I am also knitting a sweater for myself for the very first time.
I’m working on the Sulenki KAL. I’m on part 3 of 4. So far it isn’t very big, but I’m enjoying the process!
I’m finishing up a baby blanket for my second baby, due in August! It’s going to be close whether I get it done before he comes!
Finally got to the sleeves on a top-down seamless tunic made in a merino/silk lace weight. The tiny yarn on tiny needles means this felt like an endless endless endless project, but the end result is so gorgeous. Can’t wait until autumn so I can wear it!
I’m working on a summery cotton top for myself. And after a couple decade of saying “I’d love to learn to spin my own yarn”, I bought a wheel three months ago and spend time spinning most days to learn and improve.
Mostly, I’ve been working on a hooded scarf. I also have a few pairs of socks and shawls and sweaters going.
I am currently working on a test knit using your ephemeral fingering yarn. But would love to make my mum a version of it with some of those beautiful colours.
I am working on a cardigan for my brother and a blouse for me… I am using the pearlescent yarn I really love its texture.
As always, this yarn selection is amazing – it looks like the embodiment of summer!
I’m currently working on a baby blanket for my niece, a year-long blanket CAL, your wandering scarf and my first pair of knitted socks for my husband. It wouldn’t be any fun if I was just working on one project at a time!
I currently have the Textured Laguna wrap on my needles out of that lovely shade of green “oopsey” yarn you had for sale! I am LOVING THIS KNIT!!! (I also just placed an order with you for the last 2 of that beautiful oopsey pearlescent yellow and I am going to add two sections of that into the wrap to make it longer…will send you a photo after I block it). I also have not one, not two, but four……….FOUR different pair of socks on the go…….LOL My family tells me I have “issues”, but no, my creative brain just needs LOTS to do ALL the time…….sew much fun! Chandi, I just love you and Tim and all you do between your fantabulous tutorials (Love your bubbly personality), the quality of your yarns, and Tim’s AMAZING photography!!!! You BOTH have such an eye for details. If I were to come into any kind of money I KNOW you would probably faint at the huge yarn order you would get from me!!!! LOL LOL LOL As it is now I probably need another lifetime to knit up what I already have, BUT, I would STILL place that huge order…………like I said………issues sister, ISSUES! Have an amazing day! HUGS, Justine
Hi Justine,
That’s very sweet of you. I’m very happy you like our yarns, videos, patterns, and Tim’s photography so much! We appreciate it. 🥰
I’ve got 2 mosaic projects on the way, one or so tedious and complicated and the other is easy but slow. And I have a jumper for my sister I need to get started on. But these yarns…so yummy and they could make something just for me!!
July is going to be a busy month! Working on the Willow shawl as a gift for my son’s teacher, but almost done so I’ll be able to pick back up my blanket for the MCAL and start the Zarket pattern for the summer crochet along. So excited for my next project which will be, my first ever, one of the beautiful tanks/tees, just trying to decide which one.
Hello. I just finished Stephen West’s Garter Abyss. Currently on the needles are: Roseroot by Lene Tosti and Anker’ Summer Shirt by Petite Knit.
Thank you you for offering such a great giveaway.
I’ve currently got a pair of socks going & High Lonesome sweater. 🙂
I have TWO Perseverance blankets on needles, one for my youngest daughter and one for me!!! Just finished Wrought by Time hat and Piuma fingerless mitts for my sister, both in a peach colored yarn – she has uterine cancer. Need to finish my FLAK sweater.
I’m currently knitting socks and weaving a scarf.
I am currently working on a top down pullover! I absolutely love the colors of the yarn in this months giveaway!
In the middle of a sweater I designed based on Hitomi Shida’s lacy pattern #76 and Samantha Stadter’s Calion.
My favorite ones are April and June. But I would love any! I am new to your page, I have chosen the pattern already (Crystal Roads), but cannot decide what color combination to choose and if 70%merino+30%silk or 50/50. Love your patterns, love your yarn, love your videos/podcasts!!!
I love the hand of your yarns. And the color ways are incredible.
I’m finishing up a pair of socks and ready to start the next pair, using your yarn from the Annie’s Sock Kit Club! I was so surprised to open this month’s kit and see EFA yarn!!
Hello Chandi! Thank you for a chance to win your yarn, it’s so beautiful!!! Right now I’m knitting a summer top.
Lovely colors!
Hi, I am currently working on the Cozy Season shawl using that lovely pearlescent yarn. I’m just in love with the colors of Journey. I’m trying to finish a kimono for myself, and a baby blanket for a friend who is due in a couple of months. I want to start on the MCAL, when I get a few moments. This month’s colors are perfect!
I have just finished an Open Seas poncho using your Pearlescent Worsted in Hortensia and loved working with it. So soft and gorgeous colors.
I’m working on some light and airy scarves for the warm weather and sundresses. Still need something around the neck when in the AC! 😉 Love the giveaway yarn colors – they’re the bees knees!!❤️
Your colors are always so stunning! What a beautiful assortment!
Currently I’m working on – too much! I’ve started a lot of projects recently, and they’ve really crept up on me. Time for some finishing!
I’m currently working on finishing up a Westknits shawl, and I have a crochet triangle shawl on hold at work.
Of course, I got the pattern name wrong….it is Open Waters by Ilga Leja, which works up beautifully with your Pearlescent Worsted yarn.
I have multiple WIPs, The Charleston Sweater, The Firebird Shawl, Horsing Around Socks and a colorwork sweater.
Hello. I have fallen absolutely in love with your yarn. Even though I’m on a fixed income I have been squeezing enough out to get one skein a month. I still haven’t yet found a pattern yet worthy of your yarn. But whatever it is I’m sure will be beautiful. I also wanted to thank you for your tutorial videos. You have helped me learn to knit. I became medically disabled a few yrs ago.. And learning to knit has helped my piece of mind.
Thank you so much!
You’re most welcome! I’m happy our tutorials are so helpful to you.❤️
Just started the Sweetgum sweater using Twisted Tweed. Love the yarn and really love the buttons!!
I’m working on a sock. The second one always takes me forever… Also stewing over a sweater I started for my sister. It didn’t go as planned, and I’m trying to decide how to proceed. Always an adventure!
So much luscious yarn! I’m working on a bucket hat now.
I’m trying to finish a blanket for the last nephew that I have left to complete one for. He asked for green, so I’m trying some different mosaic crochet techniques to draw it all together
I’m currently working on a couple of crochet pattern tests for EFA designers. And the MCAL. And the summer CAL. Lol! It’s kind of all EFA, all the time right now!
Just was gifted the Cable Wings and yarn kit for my birthday – can’t wait to cast on this weekend!
These are gorgeous! I’m working on a crochet halter top for my daughter, but I’m anxiously waiting for the Twisted Tweed trio I ordered so I can start Gradient Sea with it!
Hi Chandi. I’m working on the Summer KAL and CAL.
All of your yarn is GORGEOUS!!! I am currently working on the Glacadh Cardigan and the monthly mystery blanket!! I have a whole stack of other patterns I am wanting to get yarn and try out next! Starting with the Wonder Knit Shawl as my first knitting project to learn!
Working on mostly shawls and scarves – about 20 projects in one state or another. Some of your yarns, some of your patterns, some of several other small shops’ yarns, and small shop and mass market patterns. Two sweaters that need to be seamed – that might take a couple more years (LOL). Hats for a couple of chemo and other hairless friends, and even one for myself. I have the fiber and findings for a crocheted bag, but I have been afraid to start – much heavier yarn than I use for most things, and weaving into leather? We’ll see.
The yarn selection for this month’s giveaway is utterly stunning – just my style – hope I win. Thank you for doing this!
Working on many as I continue to increase my stash so excited whenever I see new dyed selection lots of ideas planned
Your Gradient Sea story touched my heart. My Mom recently passed with Covid. She taught me how to knit when I was 9 years old, and every time I pick up my needles, I think of her and thank her for giving me this gift. Can’t wait to receive the yarn to start my shawl in her honor. Thank you, Chandi, for your beautiful videos, encouragement, yarns, patterns, . . . . . . . . heart and soul! P.S. The blues really speak to me!
Love the colors! Currently working on the MKAL with you, another blanket, and have a shawl and a sweater in progress.
July is my Birthday month! The The Colors are Radiant and fabulous! I have had a tough couple of months after a knee replacement. What an excellent Birthday of beautiful colors. Good luck everyone
July is my Birthday month! The The Colors are Radiant And fabulous!
Socks are my go to for summer. Love the beautiful colors of your yarns.
I’m working on the Gradient Sa pattern. I did reduce the size to a scarf. I’m also going to start the Cabled Coffee Cowl because of the cables that it has.
I’m working on knitting a shawl for myself and am crocheting a floor pouf for my daughter
I’m finishing a scarf and in the sequence I’m starting a brand new slouch hat for my husband – the one he is using is in shambles!
Your positive, sunny attitude is so welcome in these trying times. I am currently working on 2 projects – a lovely Martin Storey cardigan in wooly wool and a beautiful tee which uses Seacoast fingering.
Currently working on your crochet along, another afghan, starting a shawl, and just as soon as the rest of the yarn for Wonder gets here finishing that for the 2.5 time. Just finished Lily in a lightweight bamboo last night.
Hi Chandi, I am working on bathing suit sarongs and a vintage bed cover. I love the colors of your yarn. Thank you for all the videos you post, they are very helpful. I also love your inspiration to see beautiy in everything!
Pretty pretty! I’m about to start a raglan cardigan with some color work on the sleeves!
As always thanks for the giveaway & for always sharing so much positivity, great patterns & gorgeous yarn. Hope this finds you & your family doing well & healing.
Currently working on a couple of your wraps, couple tops, cardigan, baby blankets & household gift items.
I’m about to finish my prolongation shawl, this time a rainbow one🌈
We are expecting our grand baby soon. She is especially dear to us already because we lost another at just six months.
What i am working on is a shawl filled with flowers for her Christening.I have crocheted her coming home cardigan, bonnet and booties in soft dusky pink with tiny white buttons adorning the cardigan.I certainly am having the time of my life !
What beautiful color choices. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of this luscious yarn. I’m learning to knit summer pullover tops for myself. I enjoy your ideos and really sophisticated web presence. Thank you and your entire team.
Not currently working on anything! I should pick up a sleeveless cardi I have half-finished from last winter!
Such beautiful colors! I’m working on a baby blanket right now 😊
I’m working on a cardigan, requested by my sister, like the ones our mom made for the family more than 40 years ago. The process has brought a lot of memories. Mom taught me to knit and this cardigan was my first “real” project back in the day. I know my sister will feel the hugs from both of us when she wears it.
Hi! I am busy making bags this month. LOVE those colors and can’t wait to see who wins!
I love your yarn so much! I just finished a tank top and a shawl and am finishing another shawl, with one shawl just started! I like to work on multiple projects 🙂
Hello! I’m currently working on your Entangle shawl using your Ephemera fingering yarn. I liked the colors used in the pattern sample so much I decided to use those for mine as well. The pattern is lovely and the repeat has been super easy to memorize. I’m really enjoying working on it.
I’m currently knitting a baby blanket! Thanks for another fabulous giveaway🥰
Hi Chandi. I’m anxiously waiting for my first order of your beautiful yarns to be delivered… it’s on the way. I’m going to knit your melting transitions shawl in pearlescent. Wishing you a happy and joy-filled day.
Working on the blanket, Perserverance 2022 MKAL. Waiting for more buttery bulky to finish a sweater. Starting a sweater with Dewy DK “Be the Storm”.
Another pair of socks for a family member…
So much inspiration! There’s never enough time in the day to play with fiber; all the colors, textures and squishy goodness keep calling.
I’m working on a scrap sweater at the moment. But I have a goal of working through as much of my yarn stash as possible this summer and I think Satis may be the next project for my hook.
Your yarn is beautiful as always! I’m working on a washcloth right now — sometimes something simple is just the thing!
I’m currently working on a baby blanket for my great niece (who was born in March so I’m a little late), and a hat for charity.
Love all the colors for the July picks…. It’s my birthday month, maybe I’ll some luck….I love making shawls the most, I need to start on some Hats amd Scarf too.. Thank U
I am starting a shawl using some of your scrumptious sock yarn.
Currently I am working on the Dahlia Shawl. I have about three of your projects done with about 4 on my to-do wishlist I call it. One I really want to do is the Duha. Maybe I will be able to if I win this giveaway. Best of luck to everyone. Thanks for the generous opportunity Chandi. Stay well.
I am almost half finished knitting The Stashbuster Sweater. When I finish, I want to knit The Gradient Sea shawl next.
Having suffered from “start-itis” lately, I now have about 4 projects on my needles! Today’s pick from the pile is an ongoing sweater soon to be followed by a shawl, a weekend cowl and slippers for use at my spinning wheel. I think I will have to live to be 1,000 to get through everything!
OOOOOOOhhhhh!
I SOOOOO want to win this giveaway!
I’m currently working on sewing myself a new very overdue wardrobe. So far I’ve finished four jumper dresses, a skirt and a T-shirt. The last two over the holiday weekend. I have fabric I bought nearly seven years ago to make a few items for my wardrobe but life interrupted that attempt. I have a few crochet projects percolating in the back of my mind but I think I need a bit more of a break from crocheting so I can finish my clothing and my final hand sewn quilt top(for the time being). Plus there’s the on going battle over my vegetable garden I’m having with our local urban deer herd.
My WIP is the Trillium Shawl. One of the first kits I bought and finally got a swift to make the center pulled balls. Loving the yarn and my progress so far
Just finished Alpenbow shawl. Lived learning to knit 3colours stranded in one row. The lace sts were very different and enjoyed the variety. Have my fingers crossed for this give away. Such gorgeous yarn. Can’t wait to make the next great pattern. Thx.
This weekend I finished 2 projects, so am taking a little break. But I’m getting an order of yarn in on Thursday or Friday, so it won’t be long until I’m at it again! 😉 I’ve discovered Tunisian crochet and can’t seem to stop using the technique… oh, I also have 2 blankets that will be ongoing projects when I just need to do something with my hands. 😅
Ohhh those July colours 😍. I’m a crocheter, and often use your patterns. But I also like trying new things, so now I’m a newbee on weaving! Currently working on a diamond twill shawl. Also a lot of patterns in queue…. pffff so many nice things, so little time 😉.
I’m currently working on the Riptide tee. Need to block and seam it next. Also need to block the Dream Glow shawl that’s been done for a while. Next up is the Hadi tee. Many other of your patterns and yarns are waiting in my stash. I wish I had more time to knit!!
Hey y’all!
I am currently working on a unique project. I’ve done minor designing on things that I no longer need a pattern for (e.g. fingerless mittens, hats, bowls etc). Never have I done something complicated. My teenage son asked me for a kilt for his birthday. I’m a knitter/crocheter not a seamstress. There are zero patterns that I could find for a kilt. Oh sure, kilt accessories abound the pattern net. LOL
OKEE DOKEE then. I researched kilt construction, how to knit pleats and how to knit plaid. Then I took his measurements to my gauge at our chosen yarn and figured it out. The knitted portion is finished, the ends sewn in. Now to sew a non-showing liner for the inside so that the knitted fabric doesn’t stretch out of shape when he puts it on, attach that and then hand-sew on the leather buckles I bought of a crafter on Etsy.
WHEW!
I started my journey on knitting during the pandemic. I’m so happy and thankful to have found you in YouTube! I’m currently working on throw blankets for my parents since both of them are getting knee surgery soon. Thank you for your tutorials and beautiful self.
Lots of socks!
I’m currently working on a sweater for a family member for the winter.
I am working on Clue 6 of the EFA 2022 MKAL. Also putting together a C2C granny square throw for my daughter using flat slip stitch seam crochet (108 squares).
I’ve been trying to work down the list of projects that I already bought yarn for, and avoid buying new yarn until I finish those — but you have such beautiful colors! I don’t know how long I can resist!
I’m still in PT and healing. I have a very well organized folder of projects. I’m going to have to start from scratch and a work my way up again. I still can’t cast on and it’s driving me boizonkers!
Hi Chandi. I’m currently working on a Christmas afghan. It’s called the Retro Ornament Throw. It’s pretty time consuming since you have to make different colored ornaments, then crochet them together with white yarn.
This giveaway is my favorite so far!! All of the greens and blues are amazing!! I’m currently working on a new Phoenix by HOS and making mini whales, which have become an unexpected obsession.
i’ve finished 2 lace shawls for local library auctions next month (i still need to block them) and i’m knitting a 3rd lace shawl for a friend.
I just finished a crochet Camellia cowl with the absolutely gorgeous alpaca silk dk in March aquamarine. Now I’m thinking of starting a shawl; I mostly crochet now because I have 4 little ones and two cats, and for some reason it’s easier to fix the crochet when they get into it lol! But I absolutely love the Gradient Sea pattern, it just may get me to pick up my needles again!
I’m working on Perseverance, Hearthside and Love and Lace
I’m currently working on a shawl (Darcy) and I’m putting a border around a blanket I crochet. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and good luck!!
I just completed three granny rectangle blankets and now working on finishing my knitted blanket that is huge! I usually knit more than I crochet, but lately I’ve been crocheting a lot. Such fun!
I’m currently working on a sweater test knit. I’m also learning to spin so I joined the Tour de Fleece so I’m committed to spinning every day of the Tour de France. It’s amazing my improvement so far and it’s only been five days.
Hi Chandi, you are ever so cheerful and live, thank you for that 🤗
At the moment I am working on a crochet Hap-like shawl, pattern by me 🙃 and have a few other WIPs on the timetable.
This giveaway pile of yarn smells like lavander field by the small lake.
Thanks for the free patterns and all kind of giveaways, stay happy and healthy ❤️
Working on socks (always), The Shift Cowl and an Aran sweater.
Hmmmm…. let’s see…… I’m knitting a shawl as a contribution to a woman with breast cancer in our area, I’m still working on ‘Infinito’ by Joji Locatelli which is a beautiful, lace-edged cowl, I’m still working on a beautiful top (‘Marsh’ by Berroco) that I started last summer that has an intricate charted lace back which is not my greatest strength! Plus I have many sweaters impatiently waiting in line to be cast on. I swear I can hear them grumbling from the next room!!! Impatient lot, they are!
Thank you Chandi for being you. When I could mot afford to buy your yarn, I still visited your site to smile and feel peace. Your yarns do the same thing when I hold them and caress them. I am working on Hearthside, Glacadh and finished Zahret. My list of to-dos is very long.
I am working on the Miss May mkal by Curious Handmade (Helen Stewart). I’m loving this shawl. It’s the laciest thing I have knit in a long time.
I only discovered you recently and I just adore your approach and the look of your yarns. I haven’t bought any yet. I’m in France so there’s postage too! I currently have a number of projects on the go. I’m working on Trade Winds using some yarn from my stash and Turbulence using some sock yarn I have. So very busy as always.
I have so many WIPs going on right now! Just cast on another shawl yesterday with some lovely hand-dyed yarn that my husband got me as a gift.
I’ve been making a bunch of the Flutterby barefoot sandals. I’m obsessed!
I’m working on a couple of test patterns using EFA yarn. As well as a Hadi T. I’ll need to start Christmas baby hats for the local hospital soon (but not with my pretty EFA).
Wow, I love these colors!! I am currently working on several projects. one is an owl purse for a friend, another is a blanket for up at the cabin, and another is individual sections of the Mable leaf bedspread it will probably take years for me to finish!
Working on sunflower placemats
Hi Chandi – I want to thank you for all of your uplifting emails and quotes – I’m in a difficult season in my life – you have been a breath of fresh air to the staleness – I am getting ready to start your pattern “The Journey” – I believe it will help me through the fog.
The yarns look stunning. And your giveaway will make someone very happy.
I’m currently working on a blanket. Also 3 lacy crochet scarves. Your yarns would be a welcome addition to my yarn supply.
Thank you
I am currently working on Faded Blush shawl, using the Faded Rose Oasis Fingering kit. This is a gift for my friend who will be a mother in early September.
HI I love the way you greet us on the emails you make me feel so special and always makes me smile !!!!!! I have soooo many wips right now but my main focus is two blankets two of my daughters are building homes and I want to make them blankets for their new homes but also am working on a summer tee for me from one of your patterns I absolutely love the way you look in the photos Thank you for being you !!!!!!
Just finished a pair of lace socks, and am going to start another pair, this time with colorwork.
Currently participating in the CAL of the Zakret shawl. This is the first project I’ve attempted with changing colors-so exciting to learn this technique!
I’m trying to finish Casapinka’s MKAL from last year before her next one starts in August…I’m on the ‘turtle track’!
These yarns are extravagant luxurious, and just plain fabulous!! The colors are wonderful…so beautiful. I’ve been crocheting a lot this summer and these yarns would prove to be so perfect for my projects. Thank you Chandi and everyone at Exoression Fiber Art!!
I’m currently working on the 12 month crochet blanket (MCAL) Hearthside.
My most active project right now is a pair of Christmas socks for my granddaughter.
I’m revamping my multipurpose craft and sewing room. First up was creating a floor plan with better flow, at least I think I did. Now I’m into sorting all my STUFF by craft. I’ve reached the how will I ever tame all this STUFF phase. Seriously, I should have paid better attention to George Carlin. Then there’s the STUFFED walk-in closet used primarily for perfecting my pivot and exit quickly moves. Once I’ve finished this entire endeavor I’ll probably celebrate by going out and getting more STUFF!
July’s colors are just beautiful
Beautiful colors. I have two projects going on. lol One is a poncho for fall and one is a summer shawl. I am a slow knitter so I have to start now to get a fall poncho ready. lol
Since I have retired my yarn budget has really decreased so I can’t get all the lovely yarns I used to. So the poncho is with Lion Brand yarns and the summer shawl I am
knitting with Premier yarn. It would be nice to win. I have had really nice yarn in ages. lol
Best of luck to everyone and happy knitting/crocheting!
I’m currently working on Willowherb socks and a Hitchhiker shawl.
I am finishing up the Fiddlefooted tank. It has been such a fun pattern. I may have to make another one in a different color. 😀
Currently working on a slip-stitch waist or shoulder wrap in a blue, cotton/bamboo blend. Full disclosure: I haven’t touched it in a few months but maybe it’s time to complete it.
I am working on some socks, a shawl (that has 3 skeins of EFA yarn n it), the EFS MKAL, another shawl, and learning to use my new CSM!
I am waiting to cast on a bobtail squid pattern for more son!
I’m working on wrapping up 4 pairs of socks! Then I’ll be attempting to make my first sweater using the Creery pattern
Currently working on…a lot lol. The Hearthside CaL, A monthly kit from Annies, just started a baby blanket CAL. Not to mention my WiP pile that shall not be named XD
Right now I’m taking a break from knitting and catching up on some very neglected needlework projects.
I’m working on the Worth shawl. The linen stitch and alternating colors are new to me. Good news = I loved the way my swatch looked and started the shawl. Not so good = I goofed up on just row three. Bit of a setback, but now I have unknit that row and have embroidery floss on hand and plan to try using a lifeline. It’s a journey. (-:
I’m taking a short, temporary break from knitting, and working on a patchwork quilt – all by hand, so it’s still portable for now!
Right now I’m knitting a pair of socks for a friend at Basket Addicts in Havelock, NC as a thank you for teaching me to weave a basket (which I can now store yarn and knitting projects in 😊)
Just to say the wool is wonderful and I love receiving it in the post. Its something I save up for but it’s always worth the wait since I live in the UK. I’ve just ordered the wool to do gradient seashawl, cannot wait for that to come. I have never been disappointed, sometimes it is very hard to choose with all the colours
Learning cable for a future project.
I have several projects on needles. A sleeveless top
A shawl
Pair of socks
Afghan for my brother and sister-in-law
Blanket to be donated for a fundraiser
I also think I have a lace angel in progress somewhere
I am currently working on 3 summer Tops, 2 are almost done, one is 2/3 done. Then I will move on to a blanket for my Grandson.
Oh wow, just look at those colors…perfection. I just finished Balance Point and am starting the Worth wrap as a gift. Cannot wait to see her face!
What gorgeous yarn I would love to win this ! At the moment I’m working on several projects a chevron summer shirt , a shawl, a mosaic blanket
and a view more all crochet
I have a few UFOs that, but currently working on finishing a shawl for a friend, before she heads over to OR to send off her son to school. The others are the sleeves for a Lovenote sweater in Alpaca Silk DK. And then to start another shawl, hoping to gift to my mom by Christmas, and then a Tee for me, oh, and a some beanies for some of friends. 😀
The colours are stunning as usual!
Currently I am working on a lightweight shawl and a baby blanket for a friend. I’m super excited to gift it to her newborn baby 🙂
These are lovely!!! Please, what is that stunning green yarn? Is that something that will be available to purchase?
I’m working on my second Gofleidio shrug. My dad has been in care home since December after contracting a rare auto-immune disease that left him mostly immobile. He was finally able to return home 2 seeks ago, even tho he is still struggling severely. He saw me finishing up my first one and asked me to make one for him as well because it would be much easier for him to put on and take off than fighting with a long sleeved shirt or jacket. This disease has left him cold all the time and has affected his arms, torso and legs, so dressing himself has been a huge accomplishment. I’m super excited to get this finished for him to help keep him in comfort…thank you, Chandi, for the wonderful easy pattern!
Hi Jenny,
I’m so sorry to hear that but relieved that he was able to return home. Oh, how wonderful that you’re making Gofleidio for him. 🥰 He’ll cherish it for sure. Take care!
I am currently working on afghans for 3 grandchildren with one done and two to go.
I’m mostly working on a lovely mosaic stitch cowl, but I’ve also got a Mussleburgh inspired hat on the needles for my niece, and plans to start a pair of socks for myself.
What a gorgeous selection of yarn, but that’s no surprise. All of your yarn is beautiful.
I have a grandbaby due in early August and I’m happily knitting blankets and toys.
I’m working on a cozy memories blanket and need to start another pair of socks (as soon as I figure out how to do a rounded toe toe-up).
CurreNt WIPs: a large, beaded lace shawl; and EFA’s houndstooth scarf pattern! Although, that one’s on hold, because I’m not sure about the color choices I made. 😬 😱 😥
It probably seems ironic to have a New Zealander entering a giveaway for wool from the other side of the world! I’m in awe of your colours and the stories behind them. I’d love to be able to try your fibre combinations too. Current projects embarrassingly include a jersey, short sleeved top, crocheted granny square bag and a blanket. No shawls or wraps on my needles, so am eyeing up Aisling with its wonderful cablework. Still, we’re in the depths of winter here so knitting and crocheting are perfect distractions. Just wish postage between us wasn’t so breath taking.
Such beautiful yarn I can’t wait to start a new shawl pattern I just picked out on your site!
I’m working on the Mandisa crochet top and Perseverance, knit along throw. Haven’t worked on them much due to 4th of July holiday with family visits but hope to get back to my much loved projects.
Love, love, love your yarn and patterns!! Chandi you are caring too!! Keep up all you are doing!! Thanks Marti
I currently have 3 shawls and a jacket on needles.
All the colors are awesome! Good luck to all who enter.
Working on the Brunnera shawl and a baby blanket.
Those colours are gorgeous! Currently I’m working on an afghan, though it’s hard going when it’s hot.
Working on a hat for Hats for Soldiers; Solstice Caps for Two! is the pattern. Just started the Lintilla shawl. And I’m trying to get myself motivated to finish my Make Gnome Mistake gnome. Just finished a Dolores the Sheep which turned out great.
I’m working on two patterns by Laura Dobratz, Noelani and Water Street Bridge. Unfortunately for me I keep losing stitches, so I’m stuck on both until I can get to the nearest yarn shop to have them fixed!
I’m still swatching stitches – just for fum! Never thought I’d become a process yarner as well as a productive yarner.
Fiber work is teaching me patience and exploration as well as meditation and yarning for its own sake!
Sometimes I do quick, small projects just for fun too.
Loving these gorgeous cool tones! I’m crocheting a baby blanket and other items for our first grand baby due in late fall. I recently discovered you via another Facebook group and planning to treat myself to some of your lovely yarn.
Oh the things I could make with those! Blue is my fave color, and the rest are just as gorgeous! I’m currently working on hunting for another skin of yarn to finish the pineapple shawl I made! I need it for the border. It’s around here somewhere. I love how the shawl turned out so far. I’m also working on a diamond painting. Trying to stay cool in this heat!
Working on Sierra scarf with Knock on Wood Zane Silk Worsted – beautiful!
Here it is July and I’m working on a self-designed holiday stocking for my new grandson.
Right now I am crocheting an angora bunny rabbit with fluffy yarn.
I am at the tail end of my “Metamorphagus” shawl using your beautifully dyed fingering. It’s a labor of love and your yarn makes it look outstanding!
Currently I am working on an amigurmi Dino for my 4 yr old, a baby blanket for my 1 yr old, a hat and scarf combo for a friend of mine and best of all, in the tail end of Crossaster ! It’s beautiful. Thank you so much for the opportunity Chandi!
This giveaway is just soooo delicious, Chandi! My husband asked what I was working on. I told him “I’m knitting a moebius just for me.” Since I’m usually knitting/crocheting gifts or charity items, making something for myself this time was an uplifting surprise for my hubby.
I am working through a series of newborn / baby hats as a learning experience. I finished one and am onto the second. I am sure there will still be yarn for a third, so I plan to continue until the skein is gone.
Working on 2 graduation gifts – Crazy Diamond Wrap and Nurmlintu and a Reagan cardigan for a friend.
Multiple WIPs, currently trying to learn crochet with your intro to crochet cowl kit!
Im working on sulenkti and the MKAL at the moment.
Always working on a shawl and crocheting a bag from a pattern I am hooked on!!
What a gorgeous and generous give away! Thank you so much. I’m finishing up a Find Your Path Shawl in Luster Sport with Allure Silk Fingering for the Arrow section. It is beautiful. I am working on a Love and Lace shawl in Seacoast Fingering. I am surprised how much I love the Seacoast fingering yarn! It’s texture, super sofness and drape are wonderful!. Fortunately I’m moving to a larger apartment in a few weeks; I will need the extra space to block that shawl!!
A pair of socks, a sweater, a top and a shawl! And getting nowhere (it seems) on any of them!
Grandson on the way so crocheting him a couple blankets. One done and second one is 2/3rds done. 😊
I’m traveling from Germany to Alabama and I’m working on the EFA blanket CAL and the Purl Soho tulip tank. It’s keeping me grounded amongst the chaos. 😊
I love July’s yarn giveaway! I’ve entered and am crossing my fingers. Congratulations to June’s winner, Keri Duff! I’m up to date on the MKAL blanket. Looking forward to Clue 7. Chandi and the whole EFA team for all that you do.
Just finishing up a knitted pillow. Next up a crescent shawl which will be a gift for a friend.
Beautiful as always. I’m currently working on a large shawl. When I finish that, I’m going to cast on the Iraira shawl with the stunningly gorgeous pearlescent fingering from your shop.
The yarn is so beautiful! I’m working on a pullover sweater that I can wear next winter, but I have so many more patterns just waiting to be made. Thank you for the giveaway!
Working on Wilbraham. It’s a nice combo of not every row is the same yet there are patterns to make it a casual knit. And the resilient sock yarn is such a pleasure. I’m using the suggested Copper Patina kit, and the colors are so rich. The brown looks like fudgy chocolate in some spots.
Hi Chandi !
Christmas Socks !!!!!!! 16 pairs since April . Just learned how to make them and I’m making pairs of y sweet sister and me for the upcoming holidays!
Thank you, always , for your ever generosity and kindness.
All the vey best,
marcia
Wow, 16 pairs, that’s awesome! 🤩
WOW! these are right in my color favs. Love those cool colors, blues, greens, and purple shades. As always a great job! Got my fingers crossed for sure. You never know. Maybe I will be the lucky winner this month. Love knitting with your yarns.
I’m not currently working on anything. Needing inspiration.
I am currently working on a cardigan for fall.
I am currently working on a wedding afghan for my grandson and his bride for their October wedding. It is the largest one I have made as they are both very tall and have a Wyoming King size mattress— 84×84 inches”.
Hi, I learnt to crochet from you only through your YouTube videos and have been following you since, and have accessed all the free patterns released during the free pattern Fridays, I’ve made couple of shawls following your patterns (esp. Adeline, boho, etc.)and have given some to my sisters and they loved it and also gave some to my friends and teachers they are all so in love with the work its all thanks to you.
Alas, nothing right now. With a two year old toddler and another on the way, not much else gets done in the name of joy time. But I have many projects queued in my mind.
Currently working on Bordeaux Nights. Using Blue Hyacinth Oasis fingering and Blue Hydrangeas Alpaca Silk lace.
Also working on MKAL Perseverance.
Love the colors in this month’s giveaway.
OH! What a dream come true it would be to win one of your giveaways!!! I am saving up my pennies to buy some yarn on your site. & choosing which ones I want is really hard because they’re all SO lucious! I am working on a lacy summer top, a long beach dress, & 2 blankets. I just pick up whichever one I’m in the mood to work on. At the moment, I have my lacy summer top, made with bamboo yarn, almost done. I’m loving it! Have a great day!!!
I am woriking on a lace shawl. Have a great summer, all 🙂
Hi Chandi!
I’ve just finished a bralette (I just need to weave in the ends) and I started a second one.
I am currently working on a few different projects. I am working on a shawl, a giraffe baby blanket toy, and a dog jumper, and I have just bought the most beautiful yellow yarn from you Chandi so I can make one of your top patterns.
Thanks for offering this fantastic giveaway! I am currently working on a cotton crocheted top, a pair of stranded mittens (for my niece), a lacy wool shawl, and I am also doing some spinning for Tour de Fleece.
The project I’m currently working on is a sweater for a friend by the Make and do Crew. I also have the red velvet shawl on other hooks :). July’s yarn giveaway colors are beautiful (some of my favorites). Thanks Chandi for this generous giveaway.
I’m working on a hexi quilt that I started 3 years ago. Trying to get it squared off so I can quilt it. Ikm still plodding along on my first pair of knitted gloves, too.
I’m currently working on a knitted ‘feather & fan’ baby blanket for my colleague whose baby is due in November…I over-bought yarn for the project (just in case, as its a pattern I’ve never made before) and I just figured out I’ll have more than enough yarn left over to make a pram blanket too!
Hi Chandi! I am currently working on a yellow sumer top for my daughter.
Gorgeous colors.
I am working on the Suletki KAL using Alpaca silk DK. It is so soft.
These are pretty yarns! I’m currently working on a pair of baby blankets for my step brother’s twins, and a shawl that I frogged for being too small.
I am not currently working on anything.
I am currently working on the Adeline shawl using the Resilient Superwash Merino Sock yarn in Currant, as a secret sister program reveal gift. I am also working on a lamb lovie for our contractor and his wife who just fostered-to-adopt a newborn little girl.
I just finished a beautiful test knit and will get back to my sweater that I started almost a year ago now lol!
Beautiful colors. I’m working on a pillow and then will start a shawl.
Hi, thanks for the contest! I’m currently knitting a cotton/linen tee.
Thank you Chandi for the chance to win your gorgeous yarn! Projects I’m currently working on are an evening out shawl and 2 sweaters (one open and airy, the other with a hoodie).
I’m currently knitting my first sweater and crocheting a temperature blanket for the first year of my marriage! <3
The July yarn selection is beautiful! But, I shouldn’t be surprised as every month is gorgeous! I’m working the Sulenkti shawl now. Just received the yarn for the Gradient Sea shawl, and I have 2 more kits waiting to be started! If i’d spend less time looking at yarns and patterns, I might accomplish more knitting! Thanks for all you do. You are truly a gem.
Starting a new shawl from expression arts collection in hues of blue with touches of chartreuse.
Wow, what lovely yarn. I have just finished swatching and casting on for a hooded cowl to gift to my aunt who taught me knitting this year. She has been knitting for many many years so we are converting me from a crochet only to crochet and knit. This project will be my first one with a lace pattern. It has a lot of yarn overs. Wish me luck. I don’t know what to do with them when I drop them. I dropped a lot when I did a pattern swatch. By the way, I noticed that there is a sock yarn in the package. Socks is on my project list. Do you have any videos on making sock patterns?
Thank you, Cindy! 🥰
Have you heard about lifelines? They can save you so much struggle when working with a lace pattern. We have a video on how to use them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x4b2_Q9xvI
Regarding your question on sock tutorials. We don’t currently have any videos on sock making, but there is something in the works. 😉 I don’t have a timeline on it yet, though.
Hope this helps!
I’ve been working on the MKAL and MCAL and in between the clues working on WIPs and the Summer CAL and just finished Sulenkti, getting ready to block.
Trying to finish up the Rosie Shawl by Dormack. The cable pattern for the roses is killing me. Thank you for the giveaway. These colors are beautiful.
What beautiful colors for summer! Currently working on a scarf, vest, and wrap. Hoping one of them gets finished soon!
Hi, lovely giveaway yarns as usual. Congrats to Keri, Iucky lady! I’m working on Lampy right now, with gradient reds I had in my stash 😁 xx

Gorgeous colors and July is my birthday month. This would be an awesome birthday surprise! Thank you for the giveaway.💓
Gorgeous colors and July is my birthday month. This would be an awesome birthday surprise! Thank you for the giveaway.💓 Forgot to say I am working spinning wool and crocheting a shawl.
Finishing up some baby blankets and animal lovies. Starting Christmas gifts (cardigan and circular cardigan with medallion in center back). When it is my turn, I want to make the Kola Street shawl.
So many projects! My MKAL Perseverance blanket, a Tunisian crochet wrap, a HUGE Tunisian crochet blanket, a knit Beach Martinis Wrap as a gift, a granny square tee…I think that’s all that I have going right now…? And about 10,000 more projects in the to do queue! 😁
Thanks so much, Chandi, excited to enter! I love your positivity and encouragement and beautiful yarns!! I am making a dragon amigurimi for my son and some swim suit covers for my daughter and me right now!
Love the yarns for this month! I’m working on a Ziggurat cardigan, socks, and a Musselburgh hat. All are fun and interesting knits and your yarns would work well in all of them!
I am still knitting my 2nd project in 50 years. I am also crocheting a shawl that is going a lot faster than the knitting.
Gorgeous yarns, as always!
Currently I am working on a mosaic crochet bedspread…. Also, a crocheted summer top.
I’m currently working on a cardigan for my sister, a cardigan for myself, and a summer top for myself.
Such a lovely combination of colors and textures for July! I often resist the urge to register for the drawings so that others who LOVE the colors will have a better chance to win if my name isn’t in the list. This time, I just had to join the contest – these colors speak to me. I’m currently working on the MKAL in the warmer color pallet. Hope you are having a lovely and productive summer. Thanks for all your words of encouragement.
Hi Chandi, thanks for another month of patterns and beautiful yarn. I love the tutorials too.
I am currently working on the “Dill Tee” in 100% cotton in a beautiful bronze color as well as a pair of vanilla socks from Dec 2021 SUN Club sock set by Marina at Pineapple Yarn.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful bunch of yarn this month.
Currently I am doing a big elephant embroidery project.
So pretty. I am working on colour work beanies as Christmas gifts
Thank you for another giveaway! I’m currently working on a market tote and a pair of shorty socks!
Currently working on the 1st of 3 pairs of Flights of Fancy socks (crochet), Perseverance K-A-L, Hearthside C-A-L, and a steeked Cardigan with hidden pockets.

Oooh, another batch of lovelies! I’m currently using up some ancient cotton stash yarn for washcloths – and working on a stripey dress in new, organic, fingering weight cotton. Summer holiday projects :o)
Am currently working on Sommerknus Tee. Enjoy your day!
Just wanted to say I enjoy watching your videos. You have such a soothing tone of voice and you are such a cut-up. I love to watch your bloopers also. You make me laugh. Thank you for your stories and your inspiration.
Right now I am crocheting a chenille blanket. I know, why would I do that in the 100 degree weather we have been having in Texas for the past month. Well, I must either be crazy or love my daughter. Maybe a little of both.
Anyhoo, everyone have a great summer and try to stay cool.
Currently knitting the Turbulence Shawl. So glad I splurged and put other projects aside.
Congratulations, Keri Duff on winning the June Yarn Give Away!!! have fun with all of that aquishy beauty!
I think the July colors are Scrumptious! I would love to have all that goodness!
I’m currently working on a variety of projects, but most frequently a cross stitch of a sunflower 🌻
I’m currently working on both the KAL and the CAL. Can’t wait for the next monthly pattern for each.I also have yarn on order for another project. I have fallen in love with your yarns and patterns. With 3 or 4 projects going at one time I never get board.
This one is great! I might have to ditch my current projects (scarves) to start a new one with these colors!!!
Test knitting a colorwork sweater…my first one!!
I am currently working on a shawl, but ran out of the yarn I was using so I am waiting for the yarn I ordered so that I can finish it. Being new to crocheting I didn’t pay attention to amount needed or that I might use more yardage than was suggested, or that lot numbers actually matter on yarn. First I ordered same yarn but different lot number and once I received it understood why I should not have done that. Also I am working on a gnome, but since I have been suffering with a migraine for the past week and some rather sick cats, I have not done much crocheting. I am looking forward to getting back to my projects as I find crocheting to be relaxing and I feel like I am actually accomplishing something worthwhile.
I’m currently working on a very easy corner to corner baby blanket. Thank you for the chance to win your generous giveaway.
I’m currently working on knitting up the Etude n° 2 shawl of EFA design team.
Oooh, love these colors. I’ve got a few ideas of projects they’d be amazing for. Currently, I’m getting caught up on the yearlong MKAL and MCAL blankets, before starting another project. I love working with EFA yarn. 😊
I’m spinning, planning to cast on a hat but just keep spinning……
I thinkI have a crochet problem…I am currently working on 4 projects…somehow if something takes time to make, I need a pause and start making something else. So, my current project…a bikini set. Others on the pause..mandala vest, a sweater and a tote bag.
Omg! Those are sooooo my colours ❤️ I am currently working on a shawl in some rustic Canadian wool.
I am working on your Lily shawl pattern right now!
what a lovely gentle calming selection for us this month. beeyooootiful!
I’m testing a toddler cardi and as soon as that’s off the needles, it’s back onto the summer top I am making for myself and I’m still managing to whittle away at ye olde WIPs that are hogging project bags and some cables. 😁
Hello, Wow! This month’s giveaway yarn colors re beyond beautiful!
I’m currently working on a stroller baby blanket and a wrap.
I’ve started the season of Birthday Knitting… First up: a vest for my Mom!
I’ve recently started weaving and I’m working on a scarf for starters.
I’m currently working on two things. One crochet blanket for my granddog and knitting one infinity scarf. These months colors are beautiful.
Such beautiful yarn. I’m about to block my Balance Top and am knitting up another tank top for this warm summer (The Roman Holiday by Sari Nordlund)!
Hi, I’m working on my first pair of socks.
Wow, so many comments! Working on socks with sock yarn and other misc projects with cotton yarn. This July collection is lovely and would love to do a shawl with it.
I appreciate your kindly postings, your positivity is a blessing, that is so needed. I am working on finishing a knit bunny for a youngster. During the winter I like to knit shawls.
Gorgeous yarns! I’m currently working on so many projects…. a summer top, a fall shawl, a pair of socks and a shrug. I’m sure there’s more but I can’t remember them all. Thank you for the giveaway! 💜
Finished my first ever pair of socks last December and currently not working on anything because it’s way too hot in the desert! I have only just started using fingering yarn and your patterns are all so elegant. Just purchased some fingering yarn off your site and looking forward to knitting some of your patterns I downloaded!
Thank you so much for this monthly giveaway. I’ll be sure to check in monthly from now on!
i am currenty working on a cowl and a shawl. I have been trying to find yarn that is the color of blue jeans. stone wash, light and dark denim I think this slip stich cowl that needs 3 skeins would be perfect and match everything. Almost!
I’m currently working on your CAl. I’m still at the beginning and I’m enjoying it. Good luck to everyone!
I am currently working on a C2C wattle stitch baby blanket for a great-grandchild expected in February. Also making crocheted pot holders for Christmas presents.
OOOOHHH!! I LOVE EFA YARN Its always so beautiful!!! I am finishing 1 project right now by Andrea Mowry Satilite shawl. I am planing to start youe Bordeaux Nights shirt no ruffle and Im contimplating 3/4 sleeves or elbow sleeve. I need 1 more skein of oasis Mercurial before I start it. So I will most likely start Balance Point first since I already have Gabriella and Zaria but Im concerned becouse there so different. pink/magenta and blue/purple I think I should have stuck more in the same shades. I, going to have to knit a sample half and half to see if it works. they look good together but in a tank top the darker/brighter may not work well. Im going to be working on something even if its samples to make sur it looks good before I put lots of effort into not liking it.
So pretty! I’m in finishing mode this month. I just moved and realized I’ve got way too many WIPs right now. Off the top of my head there’s a dish towel, socks, a baby blanket, and a rug.
Another July birthday, here. 💗
Currently ‘mainly’ knitting a slip stitch *and* mosaic baby blanket, Ravenknits’ annual summer mKAL shawl & Test Knitting a hat plus two different women’s tops.😉

Hi Chandi, love your yarns. So beautiful, thank you for having giveaways! I have multiple projects going now. The blanket KAL and CAL. Socks and a shawl.
I’m currently knitting a Cathedral Windows prayer shawl, a pair of Momo Socks, and a scrappy mitered square blanket. And I’m currently crocheting a World Map C2C blanket. All different levels of portability and complexity for my different moods.
I’m working on a Loch Ness Monster Amigurumi with Super Bulky yarn, so she’s almost as big as my cat!
I’m currently working on the Sakura Market bag and the Quartz Pullover.
My EFA stash just keeps growing, along with all the patterns! Currently, I’m working on a bobble border baby blanket. It’s not an EFA pattern, nor am I using EFA yarn, but my last project was a super adorable lacey halter made with moongleam fingering. A perfect pairing for summer!
I am crocheting a donkey.
I adore all these colors- but the green is amazing!
Currently I am working on the Sagebrush tank top by Grace ForTheFrills in Magnolia “Brambleberry” Universal yarn. I am on a mission to complete a top that actually fits me.
Thanks for the opportunity., the positive vibes, and for the gorgeous patterns. Currently working on the Sierra pattern but with a lace weight yarn, double the stitches and smaller hook. It will be a gift.
Thanks again and good luck to everyone!
I am currently working on a tshirt and a shawl (I am always working on a shawl with someting on the side lol)

Working on a stuffed animal teddy bear. Love this yarn!! Looking to casting on the Amaya shawl next.
I’m in the middle of unpacking in a new to us location after another forced renoviction…..but I still manage a few hrs in the evening finishing a brioche star shaped throw……& then I can work on the last 2 months log cabin crochet along (hopefully before July’s portion is here.
Currently I am between projects. I know, it’s not something that happens often, I am usually working on several projects in parallel. But I was on holliday and I took the time to finish (almost) all my unfinished projects. Sooo … I was just thinking what should I start next … It should be something summer-ish, because it’s very hot here, so maybe a cotton cardigan …. I have saved from somteime the pattern for the Serenity Springs cardigan, it looks just about right for this time of year ….
Right now I’m knitting my first lace shawl, I’m also crocheting a queen size chevron blanket, knitting another shawl and ababy blanket, crocheting an amigurumi alien, a nautilus pillow, and my nephew wants me to knit him a beanie, lol. So you know, not much going on, lol. Have a Wonderful July Chandi and everyone!
Working on a cowl, a shawl, and a blanket … and need to start socks!
I’m currently working on a shell stitch blanket for one of my nieces
Hi Chandi,
At the moment, I’m working on a crochet Baby Blanket for my new grandson coming soon; it’s a fish tank with coral, seaweed, fish, and bubbles. I’m also Tunisian crocheting a top, and have my first large knit project on the needles: a queen-sized blanket; it is just garter stitch as I wish to get more comfortable with tension and fixing a mistake (NO…) – so far, so good.
Your giveaways are awesome, and I’m crossing my fingers… 😉 Thank you for the chance to win and for everything you do.
Sending hugs and kisses,
Millie <3
Hello Chandi
I’m working on tow patterns.
Palette and Entangle.
It’s a challenge because I have crochet only the last 3 years. So now I’m trying learning kniting again. And watching yours videos here on the beach in Öland Sweden. It’s wonderful warm and sunny day.
I hope you’re having a good day.
Best regards
Gabbi
Im working on a baby blanklet at the moment.
I am knitting the Sulenkti shawl, 2 pairs of socks, and the My Boy Lollipop sweater.
I am working on a jumper designed by Kate Davies (Lilias Day) oh and knitting some socks for Christmas presents.
Hi Chandi. As always your yarn giveaways are beautiful! I’m working on a shawlette.
See you Friday!
I’m working on the Muscadine shawl
I’m looking through the site and trying to decide what pattern that I’d like to attempt. I’m a fairly new knitter and want to find one that’s not TOO difficult. I hope to decide and order my yarn from you before the weekend is over. There are so many beautiful yarns and colors to choose from!
Hi Beth,
welcome and you I’m sure you’ll find something appropriate on our page. We’re looking forward to seeing your first project. 💕
This summer, I try to knit my stash, one project at the time. For now, I’m knitting a cardigan, a shawl et some socks (I can’t have only one project).
Hey there, I absolutely love that you do a giveaway each month! We are in the middle of a move so most of my stuff is in storage. I have been taking this as an opportunity to learn some crochet skills. I am left handed and I have had the hardest time trying to figure out how to do it. I finally found a tutorial that works for me.
I am doing a test crochet
Hello! I’m currently working on a blanket, it will be a wedding gift for a friend.
My current project is completing the waist ribbing of “my first sweater.” This pattern is from EFA and the wonderful video tutorial. I have learned so much from this project, and my sweater looks fantastic!!!
I finally started my Creery sweater! I’m still working on the yoke but it’s knitting up beautifully so far!
I am currently working on a couple of knitted hand towels for Christmas gifts for my family. 💕
In a bit of a knitting funk right now…..haven’t picked up my needles in monnths 🙁
Sorry to hear that! I’m sure it’ll go away again. 🥰
I’m currently working on the Amaya shawl, and the MKAL.
I am just in awe at how BEAUTIFUL all of the yarns and patterns are. And your photos are top notch! They’re so elegant and classy and I absolutely love everything about your shop!! I’m currently working on a summer crochet shell top and beginning to learn how to knit.
This collection right here are my favorite colors. I’m currently working on a wash cloth in cotton.
I am working on the shawl from L.A. Robinson book Brioche from the Beginning to Beyond 💝
What a gorgeous collection of yarns. I am working on a summer sweater.
Gorgeous collection as always! Super in love with that green! I’m just finishing up my first knit sweater. It’s been a real challenge but such a great learning experience. Very grateful to have my Mom helping with advice — even remotely! And I’m 7 rows into the Glacadh pattern. Loving the look and the challenge of it so far. It’s only my second crochet project (the first being a wide-brim spring hat), so I’m certainly one to jump in at the deep end with projects 🙂
First of all, thank you so much for your generous giveaways each month. As usual you’ve picked some gorgeous colours.
I am currently working on a shawl for my mother. At the rate I am working, it may be ready for her birthday at the end of November 😂. I also have a tunic style top in the works for my granddaughter. I hope it will still fit her!
I have several projects that I’m currently working on. I’m doing a Pemberley shawl and a Free Spirit Shawl by EFA. Also working on a Manis by Yamagara in EFA Sincere Sock and some Mohair I got at my LYS.
Your yarns and patterns are amazing! I crochet, but I keep trying to learn to knit. I get frustrated, and stop, but I came across your videos, and they have helped me much! Maybe this time I will get it! I want to try making one of your shells or scarves. Can you suggest a simple one for me to start with?
I’m so happy you’ve found them useful. Here are all of our Beginner level knitting patterns: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/patterns.html?_bc_fsnf=1&Craft=Knit&Difficulty=Beginner
Maybe one of these appeals to you.
I’m currently working on a blanket and i have a shawl I want to make for my daughter.
I’m currently working on the border of my #Shawlography (finally) and knitting socks for #summersockcamp2022. I didn’t realize you do a mystery KAL, but now that I do, I’ll be planning to knit along with you next year 🙂
Currently finishing the Find Your Fade shawl and starting the Look at my Holes shirt.
