Birthday Giveaway *Closed*

It's a bit over a year since I started blogging, and it's time to celebrate! I'm guessing that my readers are yarnistas as myself, so I've had a look in my (ever growing) yarn stash, and here's what you could win:

Mostly merino wool, but also some shetland soft, alpaca, cotton and some mystery wool. And I'll even throw in a cute tote bag from Loop in London to one of the lucky winners!

The rules are simple:

• Leave a comment below = one ticket in the lottery
• Put a picture link to the giveaway on your own blog = another ticket
• Write a post about the giveaway on your own blog = yet another ticket

So you could get a total of three tickets, and the chances to win are quite good, given all the yarn (over 1100 grams)! So spread the word and leave your comment by the end of 1 March (midnight Norwegian time = GMT + 1), cross your fingers and wait for the winners to be announced on 2 March. Entries from all over the world are welcome!

The Joys of Blogging

A while back I won a blog lottery over at Pyssel och Knäp, and the sweet Maria threw in a lot of other goodies as well - just look:

Stitch markers, a magnet for keeping track of where you are in a lace chart, and a skein of lovely Drops Lace yarn. I can't wait to try this yarn out, thank you Maria for this great pre-Christmas surprise!

Pay It Forward

No, not the movie, but a concept in the blogging world: You receive a present from a fellow blogger, and within 365 days you're supposed to pay it forward to three new people. Who in turn will send presents to three new people each, and so on and so on. It's like a giant chain letter, but without the threat that something bad will happen if you fail to obey the rules..

This spring, I received these goodies from Marion:

Would you like to get something from me? The first three people to leave a comment are in! Comments closed!

You can live anywhere in the world, but you will need a blog to show off your present - and to invite new recipients.

And the Winners Are...

I must do this more often! It's been great fun finding both new and familiar blogs to explore. In total, 109 people participated (from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Spain, USA, Canada..) with 196 entries. Thanks to Ms Excel and Mr Random (of course he's a guy) the winners are picked! Drumroll...

The four lucky winners are:

Likis Strikk!

Who will receive this in the mail: 

Thora!

Who can wait for the postman to bring her this:

Marion!

Who won this:

and Anette!

Who can look forward to receiving this: 

Congratulations to the winners!

Ravelry Friday Favorites, Week 15 + Giveaway Reminder

It seems that babies are popping out everywhere - if you're not expecting one yourself, I'm sure you know someone who does. Here are some great baby knits:

The images and patterns are not mine, but belong to the designers. Clicking on the images will take you to the Ravelry patterns - you will need a (free) account there to access the pages. 

And if you haven't entered my big giveaway yet, it's not too late! Just be sure to do so before midnight. Good luck everyone!

The Luck of the Draw (Giveaway!)

Comments closed! I will announce the winners later today.

I've been fortunate enough to win several giveaways lately, so it's time to give something back. This lottery is for a total of four prizes. Each prize will consist of a mix of goodies - some fabric, some yarn, some notions, and not to forget the red egg cups..
More will probably be added as I continue my spring cleaning, but here are some tasters:

And now for The Rules (please read carefully, they are not your standard rules) :

• A comment here will earn you one entry in the lottery. Don't worry if you don't have a blog, choose the 'anonym' option and leave your email address in the comments form. 
• In your comment, state whether you knit, crochet, sew, like retro egg cups, or all of the above! 
• Linking to my giveaway from your blog (using the picture above) will earn you another entry. 
• Writing a blog entry about my giveaway will earn you a third entry. 
• Adding my blog to your blogroll will earn you a fourth entry (if I'm already on your blogroll, this counts too!).
• Please write how many entries you've earned in your comment.

So - a total of four entries is maximum. It's nice if you follow my blog, but I think it should be a voluntary thing, so no extra entries for followers.

The giveaway closes on April 15 and I will draw the winners the following day. The giveaway is open to everyone, no matter where in the world you live. Feel free to comment in English/Norwegian/Swedish or Danish!
Good luck!
