Want details about Silhoutte’s Black Friday sale? Here they are! And there is a secret…

November 23, 2011 by Vikram Goyal

Actually, there are two secrets. But first, the basic details.

Go to http://silhouetteamerica.com/shop.aspx on midnight 25th Nov 12:01 MST, and use the promo code BLACK to get 30% off any purchase (excluding CAMEO, download and gift cards).

You can also get the shapes for only 50 cents each! There are over 19000 designs to choose from!

The sale starts 12:01 MST midnight 25th Nov and ends Nov 28th.

Now to those secrets, or rather, the real goosip!

First, if you use the promo code GOSSIP instead of BLACK, you will get 40% off, not 30%. An extra 10% off for being loyal readers of CraftGossip.

Second, why is the CAMEO not in the promotion? Because it is hidden in a secret link! And we have that link. That link is

http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/blackFridayCameo.aspx.

You can only find the CAMEO through that link and it is on a very special price. Use the promo code GOSSIP to get the CAMEO at a very very special price (it is so special that we can’t reveal it). It is at such a special price that we recommend that you visit it as soon as the sale starts otherwise all the CAMEO’s at that sale price would be gone!

Remember, none of these links or promo codes are valid till the sale actually starts on the 25th of Nov (Friday) at 12:01 MST.

So good luck everyone! And thanks for reading CraftGossip! Happy ThanksGiving!

Stitch Some Seagulls on Your Sweater

It’s been well documented that I love a knitting pattern with a bit of whimsy, so when I saw the Mine! Pullover from Sarah L. Kelly recently I knew I had to share it with you.

I mean, who wouldn’t want to knit a sweater with a yoke full of seagulls? And another seagull at the waist? Chasing little crabs?

The story behind the sweater (and you knew there had to be one, right?) is that while Sarah was traveling around Europe there were a lot of cheeky seagulls about. They reminded her of the scene in Finding Nemo where the seagulls say “mine, mine, mine” and thus the Mine! series of patterns was born.

Oh yes, there’s a whole set. It was the sweater I saw first but there’s also a pair of socks (and the pattern says there’s a cowl, too, but I couldn’t find it as of this writing. If you see it let me know and I’ll add the link here!) so you can totally deck yourself out in pesky seabirds if you want.

But back to the sweater for now. This is worked in DK weight yarn from the top down in the round. The yoke and a section at the bottom are worked in stranded colorwork, with stripes on the body, though you could make the body a single color if you wanted. Details like the beaks and eyes are added with duplicate stitch to make the knitting a little easier.

The colorwork sections are charted. The pattern comes in 10 sizes, with a finished chest circumference ranging from 32 to 68 inches, or 80 to 170 cm.

The socks are worked in sock yarn and come in three sizes. There worked from the cuff down and change needle sizes to accommodate the less stretchy nature of stranded colorwork. You can choose from a side profile or a seagull that’s looking out from the sock. Make a matching pair or mix it up.

Both patterns are available on Ravelry: sweater and socks. If you make them I’d love to hear about it!
