Fundraiser auction: Handknit Damask shawl
I am heading west for five days in June to attend the wedding of a dear friend. Airplane tickets are expensive. In order to reduce my travel debt I would like to auction off a Damask shawl (pattern by Kitman Figueroa), hand-knit by me using Cascade Heritage Silk (fingering weight, 85% superwash merino/15% mulberry silk--I'm willing to use another yarn, for example if the recipient is sensitive to wool or vegan or whatever, but this yarn is soft, smooth, shiny, excellent value, and known for fantastic stitch definition, and it should work beautifully for this project) in one of the following colours : 5603, 5608, 5617, 5618, 5619, 5625, 5626, 5628, 5630, 5633, 5637, 5639, 5642, 5653, 5659, 5672, or 5673 because those are the ones we have in stock at work.
Bidding will start at $25 for the smallest version of the shawl, to cover my out-of-pocket for pattern and yarn; if it goes above $100 the winner will get to choose the small or medium size, if it goes above $200 the winner will get to choose small, medium, or large. Shipping is not included. Auction will remain open until noon EST on Friday, February 15th, 2013, and knitting will commence as soon as the transaction is complete.
To bid, simply reply to the last comment on the thread marked "bid here"; please post any other comments and questions in a new thread. Bidders who do not have Dreamwidth accounts, please identify yourselves in your comments so that I can keep track (any name you like, but please be consistent).
Please pass this info on to anyone who you think might be interested in a gorgeous, hand-knit, one-of-a-kind shawl for themselves or a loved one.
(I am also open to commissions, if you want me to knit you something else; please contact me for availability and cost estimates.)
