Next to Queen Elizabeth the First, Queen Victoria has always been my favourite British Monarch. After all - we have her to thank for the tradition of the white wedding dress. (Up until her, most wedding dresses were blue - especially during the medieval era)
So in honour of this stylish, graceful Queen, I'm having a little contest. From today to Monday at Midnight, simply leave a comment on this blog entry, and you could win a Victoria scarf kit.
The kit will include the pattern, and one skein of Wandering Cat Yarns Sophisticat (Alpaca/Silk - custom dyed semi-solid) to complete your very own scarf.
And, our gift to you for this Royal birthday - enter the code VICTORIA10 and save 10% at the shop until Monday at midnight!

Pretty scarf! Looks so light and elegant!
It is a very pretty scarf; nice and light.
Awesome give-a-way! Interesting too, my wedding dress was blue (and I'm not a blue person ... long story) and I LOVE midieval stuff ... I had no idea!
Happy 2-4.

Such a generous idea. I'm in. Love.
Hope you enjoy your long weekend! It's sunny and warm here, all weekend long! :)
What a lovely scarf and the yarn sounds yummy!
Two post-secondary degrees later and it's still all about the beer for me :) Although a discount on yummy yarn never hurts!
I am enjoying this wonderful weekend in honor of Queen Victoria. And a sweet way to deal with the blues of work would be to win some yummy knitting. Cheers.
Victoria herself would have loved that scarf...
Please count me in!
I'm a big fan of Queen Victoria too. She became queen just after her age of majority birthday - 18 and immediately made her mother move out of her bedroom! Up until then she'd had to be under her control all the time.
Thanks for the give a way.
Happy Victoria Day!! I'm actually glad for this holiday (which I had forgotten about) because I'm taking an intensive summer class, 2 classes a week, plus my usual 40 hour week at work, plus the kids, + + + So this week-end I'm actually catching up to my class readings, which is wonderful as I feel a lot less overwhelmed now. Also, the week-end has been fantastic here in Quebec with temperatures going all the way up to almost 30 yesterday! Yeah for the pool! Happy long week-end everyone!
