Giveaway Contest

I wanted to do something fun and different for this giveaway. So, rather than use Random.Org this time there is a contest involved and potential winners are also being referred from GiveawayScout.com. I mentioned a few posts back that I have cut by hand hundreds of circles. I've done the cutting, now you do the guessing. How many circles would you say are shown in the following picture?:

The person who comes closest without going over will win a choice of the following:

1) Taylor Custom Closet Divider Set (unisex)--OR,



2) For my knitting buds, a knitting project bag. For non-knitters a functional bag for whatever you care to use it for. OR,

3) Your choice of some yummy 100% merino hand dyed sock yarn. The yarn has a very tight twist, is soft, and is a delight to work with! Yarn #1 is perfect for the upcoming fall, it is red, yellow, orange, and brown variegated. I call it Fall Foliage. Yarn #2 is turquoise and the lightest shades of green. I call it Ocean Water. Yarn #3 is varied shades of lime. I call it Iceberg Lettuce.
(The colors are more vibrant than they appear here)

All that is needed is a comment giving your guess, what you would like to win, the dividers, the bag, or your choice of the three yarns. If you would like to win the yarn, just put..yarn #1, Yarn #2, etc... Only one choice of yarn is to be won, so pick your fav!!

As always, additional entries will be given for:

1)Those who follow this blog. You must put an additional entry stating that you follow, even if you've been following prior to this post.

2) If you mention the giveaway on your blog.

3) If you mention the giveaway on Facebook, or Twitter.

4) If you put my blog button on your blog.

That gives you the opportunity for 5 entries!! In the event that two or more have guessed the same number of cirlcles, Random.Org will be used to pick the ultimate winner. Winner will be chosen and announced next Monday, September 6, 2010. Have fun and may the best guess win ;-0

Is This A Knitting Blog?

For those of you who have wondered...this is a knitting blog--for the most part anyway. I do so enjoy knitting, but I have had to expand my business and who would have thunk it? Closet dividers. Closet dividers have taken over. I'm not complaining 'cause I enjoy designing them, not to mention the tremendous increase in sales. Occassionally, I do get orders for knit items though. An Etsy customer requested this hat for her 2 year old son. This is my first second hat made for a toddler. The first one is still on the needles. I had to make a second trip to my LYS and get more yarn and start over since I was just about the close the first hat that turned out to be way too small. It will fit a 1 year old and I guess I will list it on Etsy eventually.

I have cut hundreds of circles by hand and the following picure is a small showing of the fruit of my labor. It is very gratifying the get to this part of the process--packaging and mailing. Whew!

I have a "gang-bang" amount of yarn for baby stuff. I've never put it up on Ravelry because, honestly, I don't have time. Somehow, I will figure out how to incorporate a little knitting into my day--some personal knitting, e.g. my monkey socks which I love, --some business knitting. The boutique that will be selling my closet dividers, if I can ever finish cutting and get them to them, has also asked for baby hats and booties. This is just what I've waited for, and alas, I don't have time to knit them. Sigh. It is about to get better because I have a Cricut ordered and on it's way to my house. Yay!!

I'm trying to think of something fun for the upcoming contest. I plan to post the giveaway contest details on Monday! Have a happy, happy day!!!
