you all know about my handspun EZ snail hat. well, now there’s another fabulous snail hat in the blogosphere.
here at Knithound Brooklyn.
which makes me want a whole legion of handspun snails. can you imagine how happy a place the internet (and real world) would be if only there were a bunch of these around?
enter the knit-a-long. a handspun EZ knit along. if you’d like to join the snail maddness, there’s a thread in ravelry here. and we don’t necessarily require you to use handspun ;)
EDIT: and then there were two threads! also the July hat-a-long in the Hats! Hats! Hats! group. thanks janknit :)
p.s. join and talk about it by blogging, tweeting, mentioning it in a forum, or inviting others to join and i’ll enter you in a drawing for a skein of my handspun! be sure to come back to this thread and comment to be entered. you have until tuesday the 7th at 5 pm eastern time.
i was just ogling lisa’s version over at knithound. that pink cvm might be perfect for this. (as if that weren’t enough, the thought of winning a skein of your handspun might make me cast on just about anything!)
I think I have some perfect handspun for this. Fun!
EZ’s snail hat is also in “The Opinionated Knitter” around page 94-96. I am very excited and will be knitting along in my own handspun. I also RT’ed your tweet about this contest/knitalong.
I just joined in the cosymakes group on ravelry :) I’m excited!
I mentioned it in the Over The Fence group on Rav. (http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/over-the-fence/706194/1-25)
Looking forward to this one, I’ve not knit one of these before. Thanks Cosy!
hi Cosy – I posted to my blog a few minutes ago. I figure I’ll do some updates, too. This is so cool!
Lisa
I have enjoyed looking at your blog and shall have a go! Looking forward to a chance of a prize!
Yay! I’m in and I have so lovely handspun to knit it with too! :) Will tweet about it in a moment…
Great idea – EZ and handspun!
Just posted over on the Zimmermaniacs discussion group on Ravelry. Can’t believe that there wasn’t a thread there already. :)

i bought the pattern forever ago and haven’t gotten to it, so this is just the excuse i needed to finally make myself a snail hat!! (it’ll be my first EZ pattern, i’m just a bad knitter!)
i just tweeted: http://twitter.com/_leethal_/status/2500766079
I knew I had been carrying around Vogue Knitting’s winter 09 issue for some reason…….to make the EZ Snail Hat:)…..getting a chance to win some delicious handspun is a bonus!

Hey, I’m really enjoying your site! I’m hoping you might be interested in a great craft show near me, the no coast craft-o-rama in Minneapolis. I not involved – just a shopper who thinks you’d be a good fit!
I’ve enclosed a link – love the snail hat!
