1,000 Follower Giveaway

Posted on by

Here it is folks…the giveaway I teased you about on Monday!

This is a golden skein from my stash that just never found the right project. It’s a hand painted 435 yard skein of sparkle sock yarn in Cranberry from Across the Yarniverse. I don’t think this dyer is is dying anymore but I knit some socks from another skein of sparkle sock in a light pink that I still have today. Her colors were amaze-balls.

Okay….the knitty gritty so to speak….to win this skein you must:

  • Be a follower of this blog
  • Leave a comment below and tell me one thing you would knit with this skein
  • Include your Ravelry name in the comment so I can PM the winner for shipping details.
  • One entry per follower/subscriber

This giveaway will close the evening Friday March 16th at 8 pm or whenever Jellybean finally passes out at bedtime. And I’ll stick the skein into the mail for the lucky winner!

Happy Knitting!!

**its now Friday the 16th and I have picked a winner! Will post the announcement tomorrow in a separate post!**

Major Milestone

Here’s a milestone I thought I’d never reach…this little blog has reached a 1,000 followers!

Sometimes I’m really amazed anyone wants to read my yarny ramblings. I’ve been at this on August 28th, 2012….five years ago. I haven’t always been the most consistent but this blog has been a source of knitting community when I didn’t have access to a physical one and when I couldn’t be with other IRL knitters. I have always kind of viewed this space a journal of sorts that helps me stay centered and connected. I’m beyond tickled that other crafters want to see what shenanigans I am up to. I think knitters (and crocheters) are just about the best kind of people.

This milestone has inspired me to do a 1,000 follower give away. I’m going to toss my stash and find a golden skein to share with one of you. So stay tuned for further details!

Happy Knitting!!
