VK Live Winner, Very Pink Knits Tutorial + Knit Blockers Giveaway!

Happy New Year! There's no better way to start things off than with a little inspiration. Deborah B. will be getting quite a bit of inspiration as our winner for the 3-Day Marketplace Pass for this month's Vogue Knitting Live Event in New York City - we'll contact you via Ravelry to arrange for the delivery of your prize!

For those of you who can't make it to the event, please enjoy the latest tutorial videos from VeryPink.com! This first one features our Marblz needles, and host Staci Perry covers everything you ever wanted to know about twisted stitches: when they're good, when they're bad, and how to correct a twisted stitch.



Earlier this week, Staci shared a brand-new video demonstrating how to make a provisional cast-on using our Dreamz crochet hooks and needles.


If you missed the first videos from this series which we've sponsored, click here for a free shadow stitch tutorial and here for a free Modern Tunisian Quilt pattern that's great for beginners.
