There are so many amazing knitting projects out there. I could make a profession out of being a knitting voyeur.

But my favorites are the projects knit from our yarn. Like this, knit with our new bamboo cotton fingering.

Or this, a Samovar knit from Springvale DK. The larger gauge made it a beautiful baby blanket for the knitter's niece.

I'm in love with weaving with hand dyed yarns. All of the colors, none of the pooling.

Look at the curls! The chubby cheeks!

And the sweater is adorable too.

Riordan is such a great colorway for dudes of all ages.

A: Amazing original design.

B: Great color on you, jimiknits.

Sweaters! For twin babies! I love babies!

I especially love babies in sweaters.

I had the pleasure of seeing this in person. I would wear this baby every day if she were mine. (Another Samovar.)

Here's what to make with one skein of awesome yarn. Fingerless mitts are great for cold hands at the keyboard.

Am I the only one with that problem?

And here's what to make for cold hands everywhere else. I'm a sucker for a great cable.

Which brings me to our contest!

We're giving away three super sweet prizes:

1. A $100 gift certificate to anything in our store.

2. A three month membership to the club of your choice.

3. Three skeins of a custom dyed colorway on Springvale Worsted or Adorn Sock.

Here's what you have to do to enter. You must complete all the steps to be entered to win.

1. Between now and midnight Pacific Time on September 7th, 2011, upload your finished project photos into our Flickr pool. Feel free to upload more than one picture of your project, but only one of the pics will be eligible to win.

2. One picture from each finished project already in the Flickr pool will automatically be entered. (No need to upload again.)

3. Projects can be of any nature, and can be knit, crocheted, or woven. But they must be completed. I love me some handspun yarn, but the yarn needs to be made into something other than yarn.

4. In the description under each photo, please include: the colorway name, the yarn type, and the pattern name. If you made up the pattern as you went along, you can just say it's a personal pattern.

5. I love seeing pictures on Ravelry and on your blogs, but in order to be entered to win this contest, the projects must be in our Flickr pool. (It's free and easy to join.)

6. The finished projects must either be made from Three Irish Girls yarns, or from one of our patterns.

Three winners will be randomly chosen on September 8th, 2011.

Have at it!

And thanks for feeding my knitting voyeurism addiction.
