A week of sunshine & a giveaway!

So we’ve got a rare week of sunshine here in Ireland and it feels good!
Its making me want to knit all the summer yarns. Right up on the top of that list is linen. Linen is a fantastic fiber to wear in the summer and best of all it just improves with use.
The most recent design I did with Linen was Nouri for pom-pom quarterly. (Print & digital version here). This uses Quince & Co Kestrel which is a heavy worsted organic linen that is spun using a ribbon structure.

If you want to knit a version of Nouri for yourself I’ve got a great giveaway courtesy of Quince & Co! They will give a sweater quantity of Kestrel to the winner of the giveaway.
In the comments below just let me know what color of Kestrel (there are 17!) that you will knit your version in. Only comments on my blog will go into the raffle. I will draw a prize on the morning of the 10th of June (Irish time).
Note: If you live outside of the US you will only have to pay shipping costs, yarn costs are free.

  1. I haven’t had the opportunity to knit in any Quince & Co. yarn, and I’d love to! I’d choose the Pebble colorway. Thank you!

  3. I have this sweater bookmarked! I’m a purple gal all the way so I would use Byzantium. Gorgeous color!

  5. This sweater is lovely, and we can use cool summer knits in the desert! I’d love it in Porpoise.

  6. So many great colors – ebb tide would be my choice. I can’t resist blues!

  9. I am knitting with linen right now and love it. I would love the Wave colour. Thank you.

  10. I love the sand best and summer is so short here in Alaska, I’ll have to knit fast!! I’ll have to tell my knit group!!

  16. Nouri is up next in my queue!! Growing up on an island in the Pacific, one of my favorite childhood pastimes was tidepooling and making friends with the urchins….so my Nouri will definitely be in the gorgeous Urchin colorway :)

  18. My yarn is delivering today and I got Pom Pom in the mail on Tuesday.

  20. I love reading all the comments to see what colours other fans have chosen. I’m torn between Byzantium and Anemone…but I think Byzantium would be “my” sweater.

  21. I adore this in Pebble! This sweater makes me so happy for warmer weather!

  22. What a lovely sweater! I would knit it in Sand. Seems like a great summer color!

  24. All of the colours are stunning, but “Wave” was the clear first choice for me. Thanks for keeping this contest open to non-US residents too :)

  26. I love this sweater and have been planning to knit it since the summer Pompom came out. I would love the colour Minos!

  27. Love the color in the picture, love the style of the sweater! Beautiful & very wearable.

  29. Hullo! This was the first design from the latest PPQ I queued of Ravelry.

    I would probably choose Urchin, which is in definite keeping with my fave neutral colour schemes.

    Lovely blog!

  30. Aegean would certainly be my choice,reminding me of long stays by coast.

  31. As a red head with fair skin and blue eyes, I think Cove would look fantastic! I haven’t knit with linen before, it looks interesting.

  32. Urchin!!
    Great colour – cool animal – not very tasteful though…
    The sweatjer is stunning – it has an air of summer <3

  34. Oh a lovely sweater this would rock in green . I’ve never did a garment for me yet ..this one would be lovely

  35. I would love to knit this for my daughter. Hard to pick fav colour, but porpoise stands out to me- thanks for the chance.

  36. I would love to knit this in Senza. The natural color is perfect for summer, no matter how intense the sun. Lovely sweater and lovely yarn. Thank you for the chance to enter!

  38. They’re all lovely colours but I’m going for Sand.

  39. It would be very hard to decide between cove and sand. Actually they’re all great. I love Quince & Co.

  41. All of the colors are wonderful–it’s a tough choice, but I think this would be lovely in Wave.

  42. I would knit this GORGEOUS design in the GORGEOUS Kestrel colorway Byzantium.

  43. That’s a tough one, but if I have to choose i’d say cove would be my first choice. Love that sweater!!

  47. Oh, I have wanted to knit with Quince & Co yarn but haven’t yet – this would be lovely! I would choose Wave… What a gorgeous color.

  48. As a resident of a warm state, I would love to knit one in Antler! Thanks!

  49. Minos. I love both your designs and Quince yarns– perfect combination.

  50. It would have to be porpoise as it looks gorgeous
