Giveaway Winner
Congratulations to acerani, who won our Leafy Yarn Bowl giveaway with this response:

A sweater! I'm timid about knitting clothes - it's long and challenging, so I hope it turns out wearable!

We will contact our winner via Ravelry to arrange for the delivery of the prize.

Thanks for joining us!

What Are Your Crafting Resolutions for 2018?

As 2017 winds down, it's a great time to take stock of your accomplishments for the past 12 months while also making plans for the year ahead. Perhaps you made some resolutions at the start of 2017; were you successful in all of them, or did a few escape your to-do list? Sometimes your priorities change as the year progresses, but you may decide to revisit those forgotten resolutions, or perhaps make new ones, as the calendar begins anew. We know that many knitters and crocheters embark on yearly challenges related to the craft - for instance, by pledging to knit a pair of socks each month, or going "cold sheep" and only knitting or crocheting from one's stash for an entire year.

Even if you don't make an official pledge for 2018, that there is always something new to learn about knitting, crocheting and crafting in general! We look forward to sharing lots of inspiration and tutorials with you in 2018, and we'd love to hear your suggestions for tutorials and other features you'd like to see.

Do you have any special challenges, techniques or projects you hope to tackle in 2018? Tell us about them in the comments for your chance to win a Leafy Yarn Holder from our 2017-18 Collection! Be sure to also include your Ravelry ID or email address so that we can contact you if you win. We will randomly select one lucky blog reader to announce as our winner on our first blog post of 2018.

From all of us a Knitter's Pride, have a safe and happy holiday season. See you in 2018!

Dreamz Tunisian Crochet Interchangeable Set

Happy New Year from Knitter's Pride! January is a great time to take stock and set goals, especially when it comes to crafting! Perhaps in 2013, you'd like to learn a new technique such as colorwork, entrelac, or Tunisian crochet; Knitters may decide they'd like to try their hand at crochet and vice versa; or perhaps you've never made yourself a sweater and have decided that this is the year to give it a try!

Whatever your resolution, Knitter's Pride has the tools you need to make it happen. We'd like to help you on your way by offering some great prizes this month on Facebook, Twitter, and Ravelry, as well as on this blog!

Three lucky readers will win one of three great prizes below; to enter, simply leave a comment sharing your crafting resolution for 2013. We'll randomly choose 3 comments (one for each prize) to announce on our next blog post on January 23rd. Be sure to also leave a way for us to contact you if you win such as an email address or Ravelry ID.

Good luck!
