Yarn Giveaway!

10 September 2009 · 41 Comments

bines_finalBines is live!

To celebrate I’m having a giveaway.  The Schaefer Yarn Company has graciously donated a skein of their lovely Heather yarn in Dian Fossey (that’s the yarn I knit them in, just to be clear), and I’m giving away a copy of the pattern (or a copy of a different pattern if that’s what the winner would prefer).

If you’d like a chance to win the yarn and pattern, just leave a comment on this post.  I will leave comments open till Monday evening.  On Tuesday I’ll randomly pick one person from the comments and contact them to get their address and mail them their loot.  Just be sure you use a real email address when you leave a comment, or else I won’t have a way to contact you.  Don’t worry, I’m not organized enough to do anything nefarious with your email and no one else will see it.

Love the detail in these socks, they are very pretty. These can excuse any slowdown in gardening. I just plain dislike gardening, but manage a small amount to keep our home looking half way kept.

Very nice details in your sock design and I especially like this colorway you’ve selected. Dian Fossey – interesting name for a yarn, I’d be curious to know how the yarn represents it’s namesake. Perhaps her favorite colors, do you know?

This pattern is definitely a “must knit” for me and I really love how it shows off the gorgeous yarn. Congratulations!

More twisted stitches, oh joy! (really, I like them a lot). Sometimes you have to be careful not to appear sarcastic when you’re not.
