Shetland Heather-Lacy Glove kit giveaway for April 2014

Beautiful Heather !

After the dark long winter we have been through in North America we could all do with some much needed colour. The photo above is some very Beautiful heather found in the British Isles.

 I don't know about you but that colour makes me smile & my Spirit Soar !  

And here is the Shetland Heather lacy glove kit that is a Warm welcome on a fresh Spring morning !

Knit circular on 3.5mm's with all over lace stitches that add such a feminine touch to the open fingered gloves. 100% Organic Shetland wool is light & airy & Perfect for all seasons. There is something very comforting about pure organic wool yarn & Knitwear that you DO NOT get with crappy Acrylics. Crappy Acrylics are just a waste of knitting time. In no time at all knitwear looks shabby... like its been to hell & back so what do you do....put it in the garbage....more crappy land fill ! Wool on the other hand is well worth your knitting time & Healthier for you & the Environment. Garments look good for years, they last (almost) forever !

  1. My favourite part of spring centres around sheep and their wool. It means it's time to shear my sheep and play with the wool. This is closely followed by new lambs with prospects of their fleeces... I wonder what they will produce. And longer, warmer days to spin and knit outside while the sheep graze and the lambs play. :)

  2. I like everything about spring... the green sprouts, the birds songs, the earthty smells and most of all... all the new babies lambs, it's cuteness season. :D

  3. I'm a spring baby, so it's my favorite time of year. Seeing all the brown go away and all the fresh, new life coming back gives me a jolt that is desperately needed after a long, cold winter (especially after this year).

  4. I like how the earth begins to warm and the growing starts and now that I'm a spinning I love that it's the time of year when most sheep are shorn :)

  9. My favorite thing is the bird songs. Only when they star to sing again after the winter, I realize just how much I missed their sounds. Thank you for the chance!

  14. For me, the best thing is finally getting back out into the garden -- if I can't garden, I curl up and die inside, so Spring is even more of a blessing than Winter is a hardship. Although I have houseplants to help me hang on, it's just not the same.

  15. Hearing the little spring peeper frogs, and seeing the wood ducks in the trees!! Only in spring time do I get to see the ducks in the trees!!

  26. The thing I like most about spring is being able to get out with the grandchildren for walks and there are no bugs yet. I know that this is short lived but I enjoy that the most, getting outside in the fresh air and enjoying the day.
    Thanks for the opportunity in this contest would love to win.
