One Year 'blog-versary' Give away!


Well, I've had a little rummage and I've come up with two give-aways. The first one is for the knitters amongst you:

two balls each of Noro Silk Garden shades 282

and 236.

....should be enough to make this

- or anything else you may prefer! I've also included a pair of KnitPro wooden needles

as they are my all time favourites. I love these needles! they are wonderful to knit with, and I am slowly replacing all my older needles with pairs of these. I love their interchangeable circular needles too, and their DPN's......!! Lastly, the lucky winner will also receive a skein of 'Celebration' superwash merino sock yarn (thought it was apt!)

from the wonderful Abstract Cat Crafts on Folksy.

For the fabric junkies amongst you, I've put together a pile of Japanese Fat Quarters.

Most of these are of a pale linen background with wonderfully cute designs on. I'm not sure exactly which fabrics I'll be sending as I'm expecting a delivery any day soon....

and may swap some,

but you'll get at least six fat quarters and some of the lovely ribbon that I picked up on my last visit to Holland.


So, please leave a comment letting me know which package you'd like and I'll put all your names into a hat. Feel free to post about it on your blog and I'll put your name in again - I love to meet new people! Just let me know when you do, so I can give you another entry. I'll draw the names on the 19th January, so you have 10 days to enter. That's my birthday and I quite like the idea of giving presents away on my birthday!!

  64. Happy birthday for the 19th and happy blog birthday too. You have had a very eventful year so it is wonderful to see you celebrating. I would be very happy with either giveaway but maybe the wool and needles please if I am lucky enough to win. They look much more glamorous than my usual pins.

  87. So sad I missed your wonderful giveaway! The colours of those yarns and those fabulous knitting needles. I saw a pair of those needles when I visited Tasmania last year and have kicked myself for not buying some. The scarf looks amazing (and it doesnt roll at the edges...)

    Japanese fabrics are gorgeous too. They are always such beautiful quality and the whimsical characters are so cute.

    Lucky person who wins one of your beautiful stashes.

    First visit, via Twiglet.

    Jacky.
