Contest Updates and Prizes!
The Pre-Blogiversary Contest Contest is officially closed. Thanks to everyone who sent in ideas! I shall announce the winner and her idea (starting the Actual Blogiversary Contest) on Monday, August 27th, my official First Blogiversary. But don’t think you can’t win a prize this weekend! If I get the usual number of comments on this post, someone will be the 1000th commenter and win a prize! So what are the prizes? Let’s take a look–
Left to right: Sleeping Dragon Superwash Merino in Pool, Seacoast Handpainted Merino/Tencel in Silver and Gold, Fleece Artist Sockomo in Autumn.
And how about up close:
IN ADDITION
I’ve been in contact with Anne, the totally fab designer of Knitspot fame, and we have worked out how I can provide each winner with the Knitspot pattern of the winner’s choosing. You pick the pattern, I pay the bill. I’ll be picking some patterns for myself too (Wing o’ the Moth, Honeybee stole, orchid scarf, etc., etc.). I think this is a brilliant plan, if I may say so. I was surprised I was able to think of it. I really appreciate Anne’s enthusiasm and help–she figured out instantly how we could do this.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I’ll be knitting on the first sleeve of the Minimalist Cardi and swatching some archaic cable to rework a sock cuff that wasn’t turning out to be all that it could be.
Happy Knitting!
Beautiful yarns! Thanks for the fun contests and excitement. Love your blog!
Came over from Ravelry to look at your Minimalist Cardigan. It’s looking great and I’m looking forward to seeing it progress. Good inspiration to add it to my queue.
Good luck with the contest. Those are gorgeous yarns!
That Sockomo Autumn says it wants to come live with me. 😀
Oh, that is a brilliant plan indeed!! 🙂 Ah, the suspense, the suspense – what will be the next contest phase???
Oh hey! I’m catching up on my evergrowing blogroll and here I see you’re having a blogiversary on monday! Congratulations!
Oops, I forgot to enter the contest! Oh, well 🙂 It’s not like you didn’t remind me!
Those are some pretty yarns, and giving away a Knitspot pattern is an especially awesome bonus!
Ooh, yummy yarn! I can’t wait to get my hands on some Somoko!
Wow – it’s contest central around blogland! Congrats on your upcoming blogiversary!
That’s some seriously purty yarn…. *wipes drool from chin*
oh my, those yarns are really pretty! love that sockomo.
Oooh, love the yarn, especially the Fleece Artist colors. I’m looking forward to seeing your Minimalist Cardi finished as it may be in my future knitting queue.
Damn, B, you REALLY know how to run a contest right!!
That’s some georgeous yarn! Love the name of the sleeping dragon yarn, but that sockomo yarn is calling me, calling me!
Oh, wow. That might just be some of the most beautiful yarn I’ve ever seen. I love that it’s time again for fall colours!
I love the honeybee stole. I’ve been wanting to knit it for a while and think it should be my next lace project.
I can’t wait to hear how the Contest Contest turns out!
Oh, those are some good prizes. I hope I win! 🙂
Congrats again on the blogiversary. I love reading your blog. It’s one of the first ones I started reading when I discovered the knitting blogs and it’s one of my favorites!
What lovely yarn. I love the colors of all of them.
Great progress on the sweater.
Pretty yarns! The winners are very lucky.
