DPN Project Holder Giveaway

DPN Project Holder Giveaway

I tried several different methods of making these project holders / DPN protectors and finally came up with a design I liked.  So I made a few for me, and then made a few more.  But this is it. When they are sold, there won't be any more.  

Then I thought: Why not give 2 of them away?


That's right!  TWO!


There will be 2 winners of this giveaway!


If you don't want to wait to see if you win the giveaway, you can purchase from my Etsy shop now.


DESCRIPTION OF DPN Project Holders in giveaway:
Length: 7.5 inches (19 cm) end to end
Will fit needles approximately 6.25 - 7.5 inches (15.5 - 19 cm) in length.
Please note: needles and my knitting example are not included. 

HOW TO ENTER
Simple: just leave a comment below and make sure to include a way for me to contact you.
Open worldwide. 
Giveaway will take place on September 1, 2014.
If I can't reach the winner, or you don't respond to my messages in a week, I will draw a new winner.
Good luck!
p.s. it would be lovely if you would like my facebook page, follow my blog, favourite my etsy shop, or share this giveaway amongst your knitting friends.

UPDATE!  Winners have been chosen!  Thanks everyone!  See the more recent post on my blog for winners' names!

Almost forgot to post these photos from the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto.  
That was a few weeks ago now.


I thought it would be lovely to see more artisans.
Hopefully, my next visit!
