I would like to announce to all who knit or crochet that today is also Gift-A-Long Eve!
You may well be asking, "What is 'Gift-A-Long'?"
To jump start holiday gift knitting & crocheting, a group of over 150 designers who offer self-published patterns for sale on Ravelry, have joined together in a promotion named "Gift-A-Long". The first phase of this promotion starts tomorrow with thousands of patterns being offered at 25% off after applying the coupon code "giftalong". The official dates for the discount are November 1-15 (with most designers using GMT). I am one of the designers, and all three (wish there were more) of my self-published, for-sale patterns are included.
Clockwise from top:
Two by Two by Two, Version 1
Jemma Cowl
Two by Two by Two, Version 2 (Both versions are included in one pattern.)
Fingering Weight TATU Socks (Four sizes included.)

There are soooo many wonderful patterns to pick from!!! I now quote the group page for the "Indie Design Gift-A-Long" group:
"Prepping for the holidays as only fiber folks can, with special deals from tons of indie designers!
What is Gift-A-Long? It’s a multi-designer promotion to help you kick your holiday gift-making into high gear!
Put plainly, from November 1st until November 15th any pattern listed in the “List of Participating Patterns” thread is 25% off when you use the code “giftalong”.
Once you’ve got your Gift-A-Long patterns, we encourage you to join a relevant KAL/CAL! (For instance, if it is a cowl, please join the cowl KAL/CAL.) KAL/CAL participants are eligible for lots of lovely prizes (check out the Prizes thread for details) but you gotta post to win!
KAL/CALs will run until December 31st, plenty of time to knock out all your holiday knitting and crocheting.
On your mark…get set…. GIFT!"
Did you get that second part of the promotion? Using any of the patterns offered in the Gift-A-Long (GAL) promotion, start a project (link it to the pattern page) and post about it in a relevant KAL/CAL thread on the group's discussion board. There will be contests, and random prizes will be awarded to anyone who posts about their GAL projects in those threads. When you finish a project made from one of the GAL patterns, post about it in the FO thread (one post for each FO, and one FO per post). There will be two major giveaways (with hundreds of prizes) for GAL FO's: one in the middle of the GAL KAL/CAL and one after the December 31 ending date. Please take a moment to join the gift-a-long group, where you can learn of any updated information.
Surprise! Tomorrow is here! I wrote this post a few days ago. Then I learned that the organizers wanted all participating designers to keep it quiet until November 1. Then I learned that November 1, 0:00 (midnight) GMT = October 31, 8:00 PM EDST. So, (while I may be a bit late with my Halloween greeting;-) -- I waited to post this until now to be able to say: The sale has just begun! Here is a link to my post in the "List of Participating Patterns" thread. From there you can begin your pattern browsing. Enjoy!
