What's Your Beach Contest

We survived another Knit and Crochet Blog Week!  I love the challenge of seven straight days of blogging, but I had a harder time than usual because I actually was not home for several days, so I had to write many of them in advance.  But now that we are back to business as usual I have a surprise for you.  Last week I was contacted by the designer of my current favorite hat pattern.  Mel Ski, the host of Singlehanded Knits, has graciously offered a free copy of Drizzle for readers of Faithfully Geeky!


I blogged about how much I love this pattern a few weeks ago.  I wound yarn for it and cast on instantly once I saw the pictures of Mel hanging out on her beach.  All I wanted was to knit up my version and wear it on my beach over Easter weekend.  And now you could wear it on your beach.  In the comments, let me know what is your "beach".  It does not have to be an actual beach, but where do you go to escape and get peace of mind?  Let me know.  I will keep the drawing open for two weeks until May 12, and then draw via random number generator.  I hope you are as excited as I am!

    How cool! I'll take almost any (East Coast) beach, but I spent the most memorable family vacation at Edisto Beach. It was just awesome and relaxing. As far as what my beach is in my day-to-day existence, it's probably the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

    Neat! My fantasy beach is the one in Skala, Kefalonia, where my grandparents took me a few times as a kid. But being unable to get there whenever I want, I like taking walks in nearby state parks, especially this time of year, with the wildflowers blooming.

    We love our beaches in australia. I have great memories of camping right on the beach in Streaky Bay and Busselton.
    But anywhere near the water is find by me.

    Polis Beach in Cyprus has to be the best beach I have ever been on. It is tucked away from the main tourist beaches, it has a eucalyptus wood next to the beach to provide shade and a little cafe to provide refreshment. It is also incredibly clean and beautiful. I dream of going back one day and it is the place I visualise during the times when people suggest going to "my happy place"!
