Don’t forget: my second annual Charity Challenge for knitters and crocheters is in full swing. Knit or crochet something for someone in need before December 31 and you’ll earn a chance to win prizes. Check the contest page for full details.
I’ll be announcing prizes throughout the coming weeks and today I’m excited to bring you news of the first two prizes, donated by two awesome sponsors!

Chicago-based Myrtille sells gorgeous handspun yarn and handdyed yarn and fleece on her Etsy site. She has graciously donated a gift card for her shop and free shipping to one lucky Charity Challenge winner! Myrtille’s yarn and fiber stands out for its stunning colorways.
Three Bags Full (@Etsy)
Michele from Three Bags Full is based in Maine, where she makes fabulous cotton project bags that can help keep you organized. Each bag is fully lined with coordinating fabric and includes a secure zipper pull with a handmade bead. On the inside, the bags have an elastic holder for knitting needles and a pocket for stitch markers and notions. Michele’s bags would make great gifts, and not just for knitters. Michele has graciously donated the fun tropical print bag pictured to one Charity Challenge winner!
Thank you so much to these small business owners who are making this giveaway possible through their support. Please consider visiting their shops for gifts or treats for yourself. If you are a vendor or pattern designer and would like to support the Charity Challenge this year, please email me at wooldurham@gmail.com.
So are you getting excited about the contest now that you’ve seen some prizes?! Stop by on Wednesday and I’ll be sharing some links to help you find projects that need help from knitters and crocheters like you.
