Episode 5: Giveaway!

My camera is on the fritz, so instead of the regular video podcast, I offer up an audio one, with a slideshow to keep you entertained.
The photos used for my knitted bits are sometimes my own, other times screenshots from Ravelry of the pattern page. I'm sure you'll be able to tell which is which.

stitchinoutloud, one of you will win a Ravelry pattern up to $8!

  1. Hi Maya,
    pity not to see you, but I still enjoyed the cast. The hexagon mittens look very pretty, and will be a special gift.
    congrats on membership, and well done for 2011 knit meter
    Hope the camera works next time.
