Magmatic + Rifton= The Perfect Match

Oh you guys... this week's giveaway is GOOD!

Ever since Jill released Rifton last January I KNEW I had to make another version of Magmatic Scarf in it. I got a skein from her right away, but since she sold out so quickly I decided to wait until she had more to release the pattern to the public. I know this frustrated some of you who have been waiting for it for over a year... sorry?
So,  I want to tell you about Magmatic and then I want to tell you about Rifton and then I want to have a GIVEAWAY (cause its' Friday, yo!)

Magmatic Scarf was originally the last mystery knit-along of 2014's M Club.... it was made with 3 mini skeins and 1 set of Space Cadet Mini's. Members got "parts" of the design, including beads, throughout the year's shipments and then they put them all together into a magic ball and started knitting. (You can read about more about it here.)
Magmatic is worked in an elongated chevron stitch in the round, and then steeked to turn it into a scarf. Fringe is then "self-made" by unraveling stitches at each end of the scarf. Knitting Magmatic is a blast... cutting it is awesome, and fringing it is just plain fun! Of course, the pattern includes videos for these last steps, don't worry! I love the original version that I made with beads, but check it out in Rifton..... (yes, that is my girl, I can't even...!)

Clockwise from Top Left: Spring, Autumn, Summer, Winter
Rifton is pretty special...  it is a single ply, fine USA grown & spun wool yarn. Each colorway shades between 2 natural undyed wool colors and dyed in the wool (by Jill) brights, making it a unique striping ombre yarn. 

Rifton is made in super small batches... Jill will have this "round" for sale at her Studio Open House this Saturday at Rhinebeck AND AT THE SAME TIME be posting it for sale in her Etsy shop. (A little bird told me it would be up around 4pm.)

Time for a giveaway...
Who wants to win a skein of Rifton in Spring to knit Magmatic Scarf (or Magmatic Boom?)
Just leave a comment below by 12pm (EST) on Oct 20th letting me know what you up to this weekend while I am at Rhinebeck! I will randomly choose a winner and announce them in next week's Friday giveaway post!

Last week's winner... 
Congrats to  JoanieBaloney.... Get in touch so I can send you your Colinette Jitterbug to knit Biplex!!!!!!!

Oh, and it is my duty to inform you that sign ups for 2016's M Club close on October 20th...

    Green! Definitely my colourway. No Rhinebeck on the West Coast so I am having a mini getaway with friends. They are all knitters so we foresee a couple evenings of knitting, catching up and whatever mischief we can create. I'll read the Rhinebeck reports but my own getaway is going to be a ton of fun. I already know where to go for cupcakes.

(okay, that excludes laundry and other miscellaneous household jobs). If I am still clear headed I'll block my Circo. Actually, to me, this will be a great weekend 'cause leaves are turning, weather is holding and the wine rack and tequila decanter are full. Life is great!!!

    Laura, thanks so much for this new version of Magmatic. I loved knitting the original and wore it almost every day last winter. I have to say I was scared to do the steeking but your video inspired me and it was quite easy in the end. Just love you patterns - am a bit obsessed with beads now!

It starts at 1000 and, supposedly, runs to 1300 (at which point my husband shows up and takes any lunch orders!), but invariably I have a few who stay later, as late as 1800. It's fine by me, because I would be here knitting anyway, so it turns into a mini getaway.

    I really like Magmatic Boom! And the yarn & colors are beautiful. I'll be spending most of my weekend helping my brother-in-law with "widower" business - my sister passed away on the 4th. Bro-in-law is quite physically limited (on oxygen full time and an amputee, rt leg) so I'm helping him get things done and some sorting etc. He makes decisions and I do most of the physical lifting etc. After spending time with that, I go home and knit to relax. So glad I have an outlet for emotion & stress. Very therapeutic! I'd like to win the contest so I can knit the Magmatic Boom for my other sister. She isn't in great health either, and I want to make her something nice for this winter. Anyway - Love your work and appreciate your talent. Have an awesome weekend!

    I had hoped to go to Rhinebeck this year. Hubs agreed last year to go, and the only stipulation is that the Detroit Lions could not have a home game that weekend. I had to wait months to find out the football schedule, and wouldn't you know it, there are (3) home games in a row in Detroit, one being the Rhinebeck weekend :( However, I will be knitting tomorrow and get to babysit my granddaughter in the evening. Maybe next year, the Lion's will be away during Rhinebeck weekend and he will agree to drive with me to New York. Fingers crossed!!

    Not sure of the day or time but sitting on the ship outside of Split, Croatia enjoying a lazy day. Maybe knit some. Tomorrow planning on walking around the Dubrovnik city wall. And maybe some knitting.

    That sounds like fun - and it is a skill I haven't learned yet, cutting something in the round. I wish I could get to Rhinebeck to meet you but I think it is too much walking for me. I enjoy your patterns. And am soon to start knitting with beads on Craftsy. HM at HVC dot RR dot COM

    Weekend with the storm here in Portugal. Cooking for the family, knitting a little bit and trying to finish a hat, reading a few pages, getting in touch with friends on long distance whattsap calls, lighting a vanilla candle just for pleasure and having some hot chocolate anyway even if still it's warm.

    Yesterday (for I Love Yarn Day) I went to the Espanola Pumpkin & Fiber Fest (not exactly Rhinebeck but it's the closest event I can actually attend) and had a great time. There was a fantastic exhibit of coral reef made entirely of knitted/crocheted/sewn items which I hear will be travelling to Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. So very cool! I also won a door prize of organic oatmeal and missed the opportunity to make a fiber pun about it on the phone.

    That is one gorgeous cake of yarn! I didn't do anything exciting this weekend: work, some knitting, a little yard work, some reading. One of these days I'll splurge and fly east for Rhinebeck, but I got to go to Oregon Flock and Fiber a few weeks ago, so I'm not too jealous.

    That yarn would go on my schedule very near the top, it is lovely.

    I spent my weekend, um, working, cleaning house & doing laundry. What was I really doing? 1) Searching my Ravelry queue & discovering nothing in my stash worked, and 2) Lurking on Twitter and suffering a severe case of #RhinebeckEnvy. On the + side, I blocked a 6-yr-old WIP!

    Well, since I couldn't get to Rhinebeck, I visited my LYS in Tarrytown, NY. Bought a swift (ball winders back ordered) and wound yarn by hand and knit all weekend. It's hat time here, so that's what's on my needles now.
