Contest Giveaway!

I said that when I reached 100 followers, I'd have a giveaway so here it is! I now have 103 followers so I'm going to do both a yarn and book giveaway done as one prize.



The prize is a copy of Strip & Knit with Style and a skein of Tofutsies!
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post to win. Please make sure I have a way to contact you. The winner will be picked randomly chosen on Friday, April 2nd and I'll post the winner right away.
Still working on my cable afghan and hope to have a nice blog post before the contest ends. I promise the photos will be better than the one in this post. I'll ask someone else to take the pictures.

Kathy N said...

I hear ya on the ability to take good photos. I definitely do not have that talent. But I knit! So I'm in for the drawing. Of course the fact that I love tofusies and making yarn from material probably influenced me too. hehe :D

I'm a follower on twitter (knittingmuse) Thank you for doing the drawing.

One Sheep said...

I never heard of this book , but I went to their website after seeing it here. Amazing! I was "gifted" (had dumped on me) a couple yards of t-shirt weight poly knit. It's kind pinky, kinda orangey, very swirly like a muted Tequila Sunrise just starting to blend, and altogher ugly! The colors are magnificent, the material - not so much. I KNOW that it will make a fabulous yarn. So even if I don't win the giveaway, I'm a winner for finally knowing what to do with this fabric. Thank You!

Chris Hay said...

Found you first on Twitter - really enjoy your blog! I especially liked you post a few days ago when you mentioned asking questions on Twitter and the quick responses. I'm new to Twitter, so it's great to hear that.

A COMMENT. Sorry I am having one of those days. Oh how I love Tofutsies and my local yarn shop no longer carries it under the mistaken notion that someone, somewhere in Northeast Ohio might be allergic to the shell fish content.

phoenixfire said...

I've never knit with Tofutsies, but I've heard that it is a wonderful sock yarn. Thank you for this generous giveaway!
