FRIDAY {SURPRISE} PRIZE!


This week's fave commenter will be receiving a set of bow tie hardware including slider, clasp, and bow tie clip, so they can use our tute and Make a Bow Tie.

So this week's winner is Amber on the Bias Tape Table Runner post, just because she made us laugh with her comment: Why is it whenever I see a table runner I automatically get visions of miniature cartoon people running on it like a treadmill? It must be this getting-dark-at-4-o'clock nonsense already effecting my brain...

Now whenever I look at my table I see the same thing. Amber, please use the contact form to send us your address and we will send out your bow tie hardware kit. Winners have five days to contact us before forfeiting their prize to another lucky reader.

Now, The Season of Cozy is upon is, so we're celebrating by giving away some snuggly yarn! This is one skein of Bamboo Ewe yarn (55% viscose from bamboo and 45% wool - extra cozy) in Twilight from Stitch Nation by Debbie Stoller.

Use it to whip up one of our pretty Crochet Wreaths!

To enter, leave your comments on any and all posts between now and next Friday. We'll pick our favorite and announce it Friday afternoon. And hey, I just want to say THANK YOU for your comments, they make us want to keep going.

I LOOOOOOVE that yarn! It is so soft and squishy. It's what I use to knit anything for my babies. Check out this sweater that I knit from it (I even used Twilight): http://12love-jlchatt.blogspot.com/2010/10/finished.html

That yarn deserves to be in Florida...with me...strolling along the beach, looking adorable as a headband. :)
