Knitting SOS's first Knitter of the Month!
Kylie Archer, 28, from Sydney, Australia.
Prize: a skein of HipKnit's fabulour hand dyed superwash merino DK.
Kylie's only been knitting since May 2008, but she's the fastest learner I've come across in years. And amazingly prolific, 'hmm, I like that, I think I'll knit it in 5 different colours and one for my mum!'Here she is wearing the Anthropologie Capelet. http://peonyknits.blogspot.com/2005/11/anthropologie-inspired-capelet-fo-and.html (316 views)

This month's Knitter of the Month is Alex McLean from south London.
Alex knits once a year after seeing me at Dork Camp (long story, http://dorkbotlondon.org/wiki/index.php/DorkCamp08 ). Last year he knitted a pair of booties for his soon to be born son. And this year he started Project 4 from Knitty Gritty - the Zig Zag Scarf. After knitting one zig with me, he completed the rest of the scarf all by himself - which is quite impressive for someone who's only had two knitting classes.
Here's the handsome Harvey modelling the scarf made by 'Dadad.' (+611 reads)
Prize: 'some yarn to match my Missus's eye's please' was Alex's request. So I found a lovely hand painted chocolate yarn as his prize.

This month's winner is Harriot Lane Fox who wrote that lovely article about me in the Sunday Telegraph. See the Press page for the link to the article, and Harriot's knitting journey so far. I just want to say...she didn't write the article so I'd make her KofM...this is just my way of saying, thank you for saying nice things about me! That always deserves a reward! Also, her enthusiasm as a new-ish knitter spills out throughout her article to hopefully inspire lots more people to pick up knitting needles.
