WIN MY FIBRE!

Each month I will hold a competition.

I will post a vintage pattern.

You make up a funny caption for it and email me here or on my ravelry group, "I spotted rockpool candy".

The person that puts the biggest laugh in my belly will win either a skein of my handspun yarn or one of my spinning or felting batts in a colour of their choice. The competition is open worldwide.

JULY COMPETITION NOW CLOSED.

And the winner is.......Otterwise! Yep - it's the vicious ones that get me every time!
