Today's Giveaway: Amelia Earhart Bomber Hat Kits!

WEBS  has generously provided enough Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky for TWO kits, one purple, as shown, and one their Colonial (#40)  Blue. This quick-knit pattern from the Fall Knitcircus, by Quenna Lee, isn't just for kids, though our models were so cute we couldn't resist this shot. I finished one in one weekend, and found the lace intuitive and pattern fun to work.

WEBS was the first place I ever ordered yarn online; I had learned to knit recently, and my friend, who always had good ideas and had discovered a Debbie Bliss baby book, showed me the site and convinced me to go in on an order with her, because we'd get a discount that way. I couldn't believe so many yarns existed, and browsed the pages with growing excitement. Our then-budget didn't allow much wiggle room, so the WEBS' house brand Valley Yarns gave me a chance to try a Merino-Bamboo blend  and make my first lace scarf!

A family-run business for two generations, WEBS was passed on to trusted family friends Steve and Kathy Elkins; who stock almost every yarn under the sun and offer discounts the more fiber you buy! Their much-beloved podcast Ready, Set, Knit, offers yarn insights, glimpses of their family life and interviews with top designers.

For a chance to win an Amelia Earhart Bomber Hat kit (yarn and pattern) please comment below, making sure to tell us your email, twitter or Ravelry ID, with your favorite Valley Yarn, or who you know that would love this hat.  Two runners-up will receive Knitcircus Fall Pattern Collections. Winners will be picked by Random Munber Generator Friday morning.

Not having a yarn shop within an hour, I get my yarn, almost entirely, by ordering online. Unfortunatley, I haven't used Valley Yarn in the past.

My DD has been begging for a hat something like this - she would be over the moon!

What a fun hat! I've purchased from WEBS since the time they sent yarn snips out in envelopes on a monthly basis. I used to await those envelopes with great anticipation, but the website lets me indulge whenever I like. I'd make the hat for my niece in Arizona.

[Larissa]

I was lucky enough to visit WEBS, once. I didn't leave myself nearly enough time, though! Guess I'll have to go back...

[Faith]

I'd knit this for my oldest niece (since it looks too big for my daughter, although I'd rather have the opportunity to see her in it daily). Maybe I can hope for a hand-me-down...

[Debbie H]

I think my Sister and Myself would look cute in these hats. Thanks, Debbie H

[Margay1122]

Thanks

I enjoy all of the webs emails mentioning products and the pattern of the week. Excellent marketing.
I think the next contest should be people writing in comments to tell us how many hours we need for a first visit to WEBS :).
