about fabs knitting contest

Hi Everyone, welcome to the FAB knitting contest Page. This is a really quite informal contest - and there are two winners - one receives a $150 gift certicate, the second a $50 Gift Certificate. Here's how it works:

Email your project to: post@fabulousyarn.posterous.com

Please include a description of the yarn and pattern you used, how easy it was, etc. The yarn should be yarn sold at fab, and it would help if you attached the pattern to share or gave us a URL to point people to!

More Details

1 - Register on our Project Blog!
you can also register at our project/contest blog: http://askfab.fabulousyarn.com/ to submit your project and vote!

2 - Use yarns that we have at the shop!

3 - Share details!
et us know the pattern, yarns, yardage, etc. If you made it up, just give us a brief road map of how you made it! Other people want to know what you made, and they will want to be able to make it, too!

Scientific Data: How the winners were picked:
We have a giant bowl - each project was written on a piece of paper and folded closed. They were put into the big giant bowl, and stirred and shaken. Liam closed his eyes and picked the $150 winner, Cait closed her eyes and picked the next winner. No computers involved!]

We are collating the June results now and those results will be shown on this page soon - we'll send out a note, so make sure and join our mailing list at the top of the page!

Cashmere Monkey By Emily Ivey yarnmiracle.com

Markham Collar by yarnovermovement

Ii thought i would send along some photos of the collar i knit in the most ultra-soft alpaca wool (in FAWN), i was inspired to knit something that replicates those vintage fur stoles, & i bet this is even softer. also, i sell the pdfs on my etsy shop. Also including a photo of my friend katie wearing a CAMBRIDGE cowl in blue sky alpaca in grey wolf, so soft! thanks tara-lynn

Artyarns Regal Silk Swater with Beaded Silk Trims
Attached here is a sweater I finished using Artyarns Regal Silk Black and white with Artyarns regal silk beaded for the collar, bottom hem and sleeve trim. Fun to make even more fun to wear. Excuse my limited use of the inter net to send pictures. I am a much better knitter than I am on the computer But trying. Rochelle Epstein

Artyarns Lace Pattern Wrap
This is what I made with 2 skeins of artyarns silk rhapsody with sequins and beads...the pattern is a simple lace pattern...love it and the yarn and only 2 skeins for a quick moving wrap...thanks!

Skaters Wrap Sweater

My project is actually one my mom has done for me. It is a sweater of sorts made mainly for ice skaters because it is only the arms and a head hole. That way it just keeps your arms warm because thats all you need. Also if you dont put it on it doubles as a scarf. The one she made me is made from soft veragated yarn in hot pink to purples. The yarn I like most on your website would be the Artyarns Beaded Silk Yarn in 115 Marguerita with Gunmetal Black Beads. I love pink and the beads would give it that something special. I added a picture of me wearing it. Thank you. Emma Rose

Spud & Chloe: Summer of Bears and Baby Things

This summer I am busy knitting for seven friends having babies in August and one in September! I have been making booties and hats, but decided for a couple of larger presents as well. I am working on the Spud and Chloe Brrr Bears, one small and one medium in Spud and Chloe fine yarn and Spud and Chloe sweater weight yarn. So far it is going really fast! The bear is waiting patiently while I finish the arms! I am going to put the eyes and nose on in Spud and Chloe Root Beer, left over from my Uptown Downtown sweater

Artyarns Supermerino Hat & Neckwarmer
This is my first ever FAB project and I am so hooked! My daughter Cathy is modeling the hat I made in Artyarns supermerino 127, spring. It's a very easy pattern that I bought on the Knitpicks web store, the Meriwether hat by Alexandra Tinsley. It's just knit and yarnovers. I particularly love the shape the decreases make. I used size 8 needles and was done in two evenings. The neckwarmer...I had never paid so much for a skein of yarn and was terrified I would goof it up! It is Artyarns cashmere 5 spring 127. What a yarn! I started twice with two different patterns and then decided just to knit a rectangle. It was easier on my nerves! It's very simple, size 7 needles, several hours of garter stitch, but it is FABulous next to your neck!
