Lixie Knits It

I’m planning on making the competition in the latest episode a regular thing so am looking for people to donate prizes for future ones. If you have something to promote that is knitting/crochet related get in touch and we can chat about it. I’m as keen to hear from the smallest etsy sellers as I am to get an email from Rowan!

Let me know if the magic of itunes doesn’t like this! Or if you spot a mistake!

There was an error in the first version which said you needed 2000 yards of yarn for a pair of socks. I have corrected this to 500 yards which is about 1/4 mile which is what Lime and Violet estimated it at.

May the power of itunes deliver this pdf to you safely. Let me know if you spot a mistake although the pattern is very forgiving. Definitely a good one for beginners!
