Congratulations to…

number-31

Thea, commenter #31, who had a hilarious (and on point) comment: “I’m going to go for Juno, because it keeps the theme from Freyja, with a mother goddess. Although Juno was a damn scary lady, although no can really blame her because Jupiter was kind of an ass.”

And, coincidentally, the sweater name she voted for won as well…

Name Our Sweater!

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

We are gearing up to add a few of our previously published patterns to the Kelbourne Website for your downloadable enjoyment. The first sweater we will be uploading for sale is the Freyja Pullover (rav link) from the Fall 2009 Interweave Knits.  We will be updating the pattern with different photos, some neat adjustments + additions as well as giving it a brand new name!

We have a few ideas for said name, but we just can’t settle on one. So with your help, we would love you to select your favorite from the options below. As an additional incentive to make your feelings known, we will randomly select a winner from the comments and send you one of our hat patterns and the yarn to knit it with. So opine away!

• Juno
• Athena
• Jóhanna
• Miriam

We will keep comments open for a week or so, then announce the winner - both the new name and prize recipient - then!
