As knitters go, I’ve been a bit of a slacker. I’ve not done nearly as much knitting as I’d like to of late and it shows. I’m on edge and cranky. No one likes me when I’m cranky. I know without a doubt that it’s stress but right now I’m not sure I can change it.
Sigh, what’s a knitter to do?
I’ve kept up on my knitting obsession through instagram and one of the accounts that I love to follow and heart is We Are Knitters. Their knit pics are knitting perfection. The yarn looks absolutely divine. On more than one occasion I’ve wished I could heart some of their instagrams more than once.
I was pleased as punch when they emailed and asked to host a giveaway with me. They sent me an absolute perfect kit of my choice, yarn, also of my choice, in exchange for setting up an amazing giveaway. (<– disclosure ya’ll).
Did I tell you I’m excited? I mean like… over the moon excited! But before we get to that, let me tell you a bit more about We Are Knitters.
We Are Knitters is an international luxury yarn and knitting kit company. They ship worldwide glorious yarns and knitting kits (you know how I feel about knitting kits? Send me all the kits!!). They offer wool, cotton, baby alpaca, and merino yarns in addition to needles, notions, and pattern kits. The wool and cotton yarns are all 100% natural as are their Beechwood needles.
Now on to the good stuff…
I opted for the Doughnut Beanie and Snood Kit in the colors purple and grey. This is one of their easy knit kits. The beanie and snood are knit up flat then stitched up the sides (don’t forget to weave in your ends). I’m more than half way done with the beanie and I am so glad I get to touch this yarn. I could touch it all day, every day. It’s incredibly soft and squishy. I hate wearing anything made with stiff yarn close to my face or neck. This.Is.Perfection. God Bless those sheep. I’d love it if you follow my progress with the Doughnut Beanie and Snood kit on instagram hashtag #nikkiknitsasnood
Now that you know what was in it for me (yarn, duh), let’s talk about what you’re getting.

That’s it! The giveaway ends on July 1st at midnight. Good luck!
Really hard to know without seeing the colors but “Spotted” sounds interesting!
i want to make it in lead
I would choose salmon and teal for the blanket. What a great giveaway!
I would make the blanket in blue klein.
I’m so conflicted about sharing news of your giveaway since the more people who know the lower my odds of winning – and this yarn looks GORGEOUS. But I’ll play fair and hope spread the word.
What color would I choose? There are so many great colors it will be hard to choose. But the natural tones seem to be calling my name.
Hoping this is my lucky day and I win this kit! Very exciting as the yarn looks AMAZING! I would very much enjoy knitting with it. The color I would choose (since I must only choose one) is Sand.
Gorgeous blanket and well everything on their site. I would pick the honey color for the kit 🙂
So many beautiful color choice, I think mauve is my favorite but also the blue Klein and the turquoise
Nice blanket.. I wouldn’t mind getting a knitting kit myself..
Love this simple blanket and I would definitely knit it in Sand or Natural.
I would like a cream color, or mint green! Really any color excites me!
I am having a baby in November … #9! It’s a GIRL! So I am going to be terribly predictable and pick Bubble Gum as my color. Would be too fun! Was fun to discover your blog today. I am now a follower!
I like the Khaki color
I would choose between Spotted and Mauve these yarns are absolutely gorgeous in every way! This would be a dream to knit with 🙂
What a great giveaway! The yarn looks so wonderfully soft. I’m going to probably choose a pretty tame color if I win though. I’m thinking the taupe would be lovely, and easy to match any decor.
I like the look of the black yarn the best.
Thanks for the great giveaway. I’m always drawn to blues first, but I’d choose the Bordeaux for an exciting change of pace. KittenWhiplash on Ravelry.
Honey
I think I might pick honey.
honey sounds like a nice color!
Deep Turquoise
I like the lead colorway as it would be netural one
What an awesome giveaway! I’d probably knit it up in Beige. I’m a sucker for neutrals.
I would choose the turquoise. What a lovely giveaway!
This would be amazing to win!! I’ve actually never worked with 100% wool before!!! :O
I think this would be lovely in black. That’s what I’d choose.
I would love a blanket in khaki!
Blue Klein! Lovely color!
The colors of the Wool Petite yarn are gorgeous. Klein blue is so bright. Spotted gray is also fantastic. Wow! Looks like a great yarn.
Thanks so much for the chance. I would probably go with the Spotted.
I’d love to make a blanket in the Taupe colored yarn!
Green would be a great color
I would knit mine in Blue Kline!
