Look what I found in my mailbox today! My prize from the contest! I won this Beutiful skein of sockyarn by Zen String Lotus Toes. The colorway is called Draconian.

Sharon also sendt me these supercute stitchmarkers!

And to my Big surprice I also got a knitters ring *jumping up and down* I have been eyeballing these for quite a while now!

Thank you so much Sharon! I really really love what you sendt me!

She-Knits KAL contest winners

I am so happy with this She-Knits KAL and I hope that regardless of whether or not you are all posting or responding to other peoples posts that you are somehow being inspired by what you see or at least learning something. I just love it all, and kind of ran the contest as a way to thank you to all of you for taking the time to share your creations. I was feeling so...I don't know...sort of like this KAL is more for ME then anyone, so I ran a contest so I could give you all something a.k.a .... ...a thank you of sorts...I wanted to give you the chance to win some free stuff ....something more then my ongoing writing of THANK YOU and awesome and all the other things I find myself saying! For better or worse just 4 of you entered, and I am not sure whether it is because you aren't interested in contests, or the prizes offered, or not reading through the post. Since there were only 4 of you I have decided to give you all a prize of some sort. So Valerie, Cynthia, Silja and Anne, please e-mail me privately and tell me of the listed prizes (form the original contest post- here-) what your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices would be and you addresses and I will send you all something!!!
*****Added later in the day...Ok Cynthia + Anne, not that you snooze you lose however Valerie and Silja responded right away, so what I have left is the Peruvia yarn (and maybe a little goodie) just send me your addresses if you want the yarn******

I am so curious, for you others that didn't enter was it because
1. Not interested in contests?
2. Not interested in those prizes?
3. Didn't catch the post?

I am stillll writing up the Floral Bag ...which will be called the Caroline Bag...it's a very detailed bag...am almost done!
I am writing up a pattern for a messenger style bag, which can also be used as a laptop bag. Here's a peek...lots of texture.

Contest for She-Knits KAL members

I have decided to have a contest to give away some of my yarn and it is exclusively for my She-Knits KAL members that have posted at least once. You can still post between now and the end of the contest and be counted so if you haven't introduced yourself, go for it! There will be two winners picked.

How do I enter?

You enter by leaving a reply to this post with a web address link to a knitting pattern or a picture of a knitted item that has a pattern for sale (or free) of something you think is great that you have not yet knit, but want to. If it is a pattern from a book, then link the book.

You may enter up to 2 times if you have two separate links. The links must all be working, so make sure you check!

When will the contest begin and end?
The contest begins now and ends midnight Oct.10
The winner will be randomly drawn and announced Oct. 12.

What do you win?
There are two prizes to CHOOSE from...in other words first place winner gets their choice, and second place winner gets what is left!

If any of you listen to my podcast you'll know that even though I ordered the Berrocco Yarn, Peruvia to make the tilted duster, I have decided against knitting the tilted duster so I am going to give some of it away in this contest. Now, since a number of you are International I hope you understand that if you win I will be sending you a smaller amount of yarn then if you win and are within the United States, international postage is just BRUTAL.

Here it is...the color is tomato, the skeins are 174 yds and I haven't decided how many I will give away yet but it will be at least two or more.



It is a 100% wool and is considered by most to be quite soft (though i still think it is a little scratchy...but I think all wool is scratchy.

OR***************

A surprise mystery skein of sock yarn that is 400 yds.

OR************* ( and sorry my lovely International participants this last choice is only for people within the US because International postage is just brutal!
