Busy, Busy, Busy 2013

Already 6 weeks of the new year gone - where does the time go?   Looking at my calendar, the first 6 months are going to be a busy time here at Aunty Nat's Knits with markets and showcases that I am taking part in .

So, where can you find Aunty Nat's Knits in 2013 - here's a list :

• 15th - 17th March in the "all about bub" Collaboration Market
• 22nd - 25th March in the Yarnification 'Flowers' showcase
• 27th April in Jodulbug Creations 1st Birthday showcase
• May - if you are a fan of Tikki's Milo vest, be sure to keep an eye on my page for a special event that I am taking part in during May.

All of these showcases as well as taking part in the regular WAHM Delights market and Little Acorns Market  -  PLUS  my custom knits as well.

I'm also hoping to take part in my first 'real life market' in April this year at the Handmade Expo in Morayfield.

I also decided at the beginning of the year that I was going to try and take some time for some 'Me knits' - knitting things for me, which I don't usually do.

So, as you can see, the first 6 months are going to be a busy time for Aunty Nat.

AND, I'm also planning something special for my 2nd birthday in August - more details about that later.

'Mahunga' giveaway

The latest pattern to be released by Kelly Brooker, for Olive & Emma yarns, is a beanie called 'Mahunga', which is the Maori word for head.

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this pattern from the lovely Emma of Olive & Emma Designer Yarns. 

To pay Emma's generosity forward, I would like to giveaway a beanie, in any size, knit in the Olive & Emma yarn of your choice.  All you need to pay for is postage.  The pattern ranges in size from premmie baby up to adult.

So to enter, just leave a comment, along with your name and email address below.

Here is just a selection of the Olive & Emma yarns that I have available. 

 

And here is one variation of the Mahunga, knit in Olive & Emma's 'Pink Dahlia' colourway.

 

 

 

Entries will close 7.30pm Queensland time on Friday 30th November. Good Luck!



 

For Girls

So, we had a giveaway of a 'scrappy' soaker for boys so to be fair, I should giveaway a girls 'scrappy' soaker.  They're called scrappy only because they are made up of the 'left over' bits of yarn, or the scraps.

This soaker is a size large, measuring approximately 50 cm around the waist - slightly stretched - and a rise of approximately 49 cm.

Your soaker will come to you washed, lanolised and ready to use and also with instructions on how to re-lanolise.

To go into the draw, all you have to do is comment below and leave your email address so I can contact you should you be the lucky winner.  The lucky winner will be required to pay postage - $7.50 trackable and signature required.

Entry will be open for 1 week - closing at 7.30pm QLD TIME ON FRIDAY 23rd November.

Good Luck
