I’ve been wanting to host another contest for a while now. It’s so much fun to give gifts, and even more fun to shamelessly beg for comments. I don’t really have a good reason for a contest, or even a very good game to play. But still, I want a contest. Because you know I don’t have enough other fun things going on in my life right now.
I happen to have an extra copy of Victorian Lace Today. I bought one when it came out, then I recently got one as a gift. I also happen to have a lovely skein of laceweight merino in a very white. This yarn would be perfect for hand dyeing, or for knitting just the way it is. The winner of this contest is going to get the book and the yarn, with the option of letting me dye it for them before I send it (winners choice of color(s)).
Pretty sweet, huh?
So how do you enter? Well, just leave me a comment on this post and make sure to include your e-mail address. Comments not including an e-mail address will not count! It’s okay to spell out some part of it to avoid spam collectors, but if I can’t contact you easily, you’re not winning the goods. Here’s the twist – if you want a better chance to win, put a link to this contest on your blog. For every person who comes and comments on this post and mentions that they came here from your site, your name goes in the hat again. And, of course, they get a chance to win too. How hard is that? Not very hard at all.
Let’s say you have till my kids are in bed on Friday the 20th to enter. That’ll be some time after 8 p.m. Central Daylight Time. I’ll cut it off and randomly select a winner as soon as I can make it to the computer.
Thanks for playing!
Editing to add that as of 9:32 CDT on Friday, July 20 the contest is over. I’ll put up a new post shortly with the winner. Thanks again for playing!
This sounds lovely!

Well, how fun! I found your blog and contest through the sockapalooza pligg, so I suppose no one really gets the “extra credit!” But how could I resist….

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s enough time left for me to get any extra entries from a plug on my blog, but you must add an extra entry for Purling Away at this site: http://knit.criosa.com/blog/
Oh my gosh, 207 comments, I have no chance of winning. Do I get extra points for having bought your slip stitch baby hat pattern? Email is jessica (dot)p (at)mx3.com
And a fantastic contest it is. Chris and Chaos mentioned it, and I’m back again. Hope that your and your kids are running, jumping and playing all day, every day. email:lisaDOTgehrkeATcomcastDOTnet
Oh my gosh you got a lot of comments! Bioengiknitter sent me over (Should I say Chris too, it’s just that ‘b’ comes before ’s=stumbling’)! What a great offer…count me in, lisasaint AT gwi DOT net.
What a great contest! I saw it mentioned on Alaina’s blog.
