Read Along Knit Along Sponsor Spotlight

September 6, 2018 Leave a Comment

The Read Along Knit Along is brought to you by LoveKnitting, Eucalan & Knitter’s Pride.

The Read Along Knit Along prize pack always impresses, and this one's no exception. Take a closer look at Knitter's Pride's Rainbow Knit Blockers, Eucalan fiber wash, and an exciting gift certificate from LoveKnitting. :)
Every time we do the Read Along Knit Along, we’ve managed to put together some pretty exciting prize packs. This go around, our excitement includes colorful knit blockers from Knitter’s Pride, a travel pack from Eucalan fiber wash, and a generous gift certificate from LoveKnitting. Let’s take a closer look at each prize, shall we? And if you’re participating in the RALKAL, just scroll to the bottom of this post to enter. 

Knitter’s Pride Rainbow Knit Blockers

The Read Along Knit Along prize pack always impresses, and this one's no exception. Take a closer look at Knitter's Pride's Rainbow Knit Blockers, Eucalan fiber wash, and an exciting gift certificate from LoveKnitting. :)
How adorable are these?! The rainbow color palette makes me think of a trendy kids toy, don’t you? Squeeing over the cute factor aside, you might be wondering what knit blockers even are. They are an alternative to individual pins for blocking your knitting (or crochet), particularly sections of knitting where you might want 4 or 8 pins lined perfectly in a row to even out an edge. Knitter’s Pride’s Rainbow Knit Blockers are great. They come in a sturdy box for safe storage, and they’re obviously nice to look at too. In addition, they’re rust proof, and the holes in their plastic tops can be used to even out tension across multiple blockers. Pretty awesome!

Eucalan’s Getaway Gang Pack

The Read Along Knit Along prize pack always impresses, and this one's no exception. Take a closer look at Knitter's Pride's Rainbow Knit Blockers, Eucalan fiber wash, and an exciting gift certificate from LoveKnitting. :)
Eucalan Delicate Wash is probably the most widely-recognized delicate “detergent” for blocking and washing hand knits and for good reason. Eucalan comes in 5 gorgeous scents: eucalyptus, lavender, grapefruit, natural & jasmine (Lavender is my current personal fave). They also have these cool wipes that serve as an on-the-go alternative to detergent pens for the inevitable day when you *gasp* spill something stain-y on something handmade. For the RALKAL giveaway, the winner will get a Eucalan Getaway Gang, a pack featuring two sample sizes of each scent of delicate wash, a travel mending kit, an emery board, and 6 of those awesome travel wipes too.

LoveKnitting Gift Certificate

Last but not least, LoveKnitting has also provided a generous $100 gift certificate for this prize pack. Our lucky prize pack winner will definitely have fun spending (Digital gift certificates aren’t exactly fun to photograph, but they’re sure fun to use!)

A note on Very Serious Crafts: In the post I discuss stepping away from the @seriouscrafts podcast to give myself more time to devote to some minor medical issues. Don’t you worry - my health will be fine, & @molliejohanson @redhandledscissors and I are still pals, and after a short break of their own, the podcast will be back! Just sans moi. 💁🏼‍♀️😆
