The Sweater of Broad Shoulders KAL starts today in the Midwestern Knits Ravelry Group!
Read more about this Chicago-inspired sweater here on the Sweatshop of Love blog. We'll be knitting along for the next three months here on Ravelry and I hope you'll join us! There are several other KALS happening this fall featuring projects from Midwestern Knits (click here for more info). If you don't own a copy of Midwestern Knits, you're in luck - TODAY ONLY, you can get 20% off your eBook purchase by entering the coupon code KALKickOff at checkout!
KAL Prizes Include (everyone who finished by the deadline will win):
But guess what? I have an extra-special surprise, just for my blog readers: 2 lucky people will win their choice of a super-cute animal tote bag from Gleener!
I first spotted these totes at TNNA earlier this year and went totally nuts. I was psyched when they offered to send me a tote of my very own AND offered two prizes for me to give away! Each bag is made of 100% cotton and really sturdy - think heavy-duty cotton canvas, not flimsy muslin. These totes are clearly built to last! They're available in cat, owl or dog designs, and each is silkscreened on by hand, then embellished with beautiful embroidery and cotton applique details. Naturally, I chose the cat bag, are you surprised?!
Besides the adorable prints, my favorite feature is that they are the perfect size for sweater projects (the website says each bag measures 16" h x 14" w, FYI). Those three mondo skeins of yarn I'm using for the Broad Shoulders KAL? All 3 fit in my cat tote with room to spare!
Want to win a tote bag of your own? Leave a comment on this blog post saying which print is your favorite! Be sure to also let me know your Ravelry ID or email address so that I can get in touch with you in case you win. For bonus entries, be sure to follow my blog via Bloglovin, follow me on Instagram, or follow Gleener on Instagram, then leave a comment here telling me which action you performed.
I'll randomly select 2 lucky winners to announce next Monday, September 21; please note, this contest is only open to the US and Canada. Many thanks to the nice folks at Gleener for their generous donation!
Good luck!

They're all super cute! But I'd have to say the cat one is my favorite as it reminds me of my own cat.
