Win Karla Repperger's Huntress Cowl Kit

Are you a fan of author Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games series?  Have you read all the books and seen both movies?  And are you looking forward to buying the just released Catching Fire DVD?  Than this is the perfect Blog Giveaway for you!

Huntress Cowl

In the opening scene of the 2nd movie Catching Fire we are reintroduced to the  main character Katniss Everdeen.  The setting is early morning in the forbidden forest she and Gale hunt in to ensure the survival of their families, we watch as she sits and reflects upon her life. 

  

This is where our talented new knitwear designer Karla Repperger enters the scene.  She too is a fan of the series and it was this exact scene and our beloved Katniss that inspired her to create the Huntress Cowl.

Repperger and I have teamed up, we're not fighting the evil forces and President Snow from the Capitol, but we're bringing you this awesome giveaway!   The Huntress Cowl and two skeins of Cascade Magnum in Midnight Heather to knit it in.

 

 
Meet Karla Repperger: Repperger is a crafting enthusiast from St. Louis, Missouri, where she lives with her husband and their four "fur-children". She works as a Systems Analyst for Edward Jones Investments, but dabbles in a variety of hobbies while at home.  Her main focus is making lampworked glass beads, however, she also enjoys sewing, knitting, graphic design, homemade lotion bars and baking.

Some other interesting facts about Karla include: she's 1/2 Venezuelan, a self-proclaimed nerd who loves science fiction and anything Star Trek, has a soft spot for animals, possesses a degree in Atmospheric Sciences, enjoys developing web applications, loves ice cream and the color yellow.

The Huntress Cowl is knit flat, in pieces, and seamed using large “coils” to create the shape around the neck. The bulk of the piece is knit using the Herringbone stitch on varying sized needles to create the variegated stitches like in the original cowl. The “coils” are constructed using a simple crochet stitch around a core of your choice.

It is sized to "fit most” as it’s not fitted and stretches easily.  The modeled is sized for an 8 with a 34” bust which usually works out to be a medium.  If you wish to size up, you can easily add stitches in multiples of two for width, and knit additional rows for length.
