Celebratory giveaway

This month marks a milestone for me. A year ago, I finished my first knitting project. I also started this blog. In honor of my impending blogibirthday, I've decided to have a little contest.

You can win some yarn or fabric if you're an addict like me.
If you don't knit or sew, you can still win! I will make you a little crafty item (like a hat, tote bag, pouch, etc.) in your favorite color(s).
I will also include a few random treats/trinkets in either prize.

Here's how you can win:
by 8:00 PM CST on October 25th (my blogibirthday), leave a comment on this post with an interesting random fact about yourself. I'd also love to know about your favorite etsy shop. I will randomly select a winner, or maybe two.

I really enjoy the hobbies I've picked up in the last year. Here's to many more years of crafting!

  1. Wow, you've accomplished a lot in one year of knitting. I only did 3 scarves and one hat my first year.

    Random fact: I made my first scarf out of sock yarn and it took 8 months.

    Favorite Etsy shop:
    This lady will machine knit socks from your sock yarn.

    It sounds silly, but I really enjoy the socks I got myself for Christmas last year, and I never would have gotten around to knitting them myself!

  2. Wow, a year? It amazes me how fast time passes, but not that my daughter is very talented!

    A random fact about myself? Not everyone knows the secret of a Comanche County milkshake!

  3. Random Fact:

    When I was 7, I wanted to prove to myself that I could remember something my entire life. At that time, an infomercial came on TV starring Ed McMahon. The number was 1 800 441 7575. I think about it every now and then to prove to my seven year old self I still have skills.

    Okay, and as a twist on your title, The celebrity I'd like to win in a celebrity giveaway is John Krasinski. Yums.

  4. Congratulations on your knit/blogiversary. I've been really into Butterflygirl Designs' Etsy shop lately--the cutwork Italian resins spindles are gorgeous and so are her batts (I ordered a Blue Morpho batt recently but have been putting off actually spinning it because I'm afraid I won't do it justice!) random fact about me: I once got mobbed and bitten by ducks at the community center during my driver's ed classes in high school. I've taken special pleasure in eating them ever since.

    Favorite Etsy shop: whoever has what I'm looking for at the time

    ramdom fact: my fourth grade teacher taught everyone in the class how to knit. She felt like it was a great way for kids to learn to follow directions and it also helped with their fine motor skills!
