Hi Knitters,I'm cleaning out big time. Which means if you want to win a big bunch of yarn you are in luck. I am throwing in a sweet little handmade apron in a 4-5 year-old size. I bought this for The Collector and she only wore it once or twice. It has been folded up in a drawer for years so it needs a good press. It is in perfect condition. The Collector isn't much of an apron girl and I'm not either. The apron has two buttons in the back. It is completely adorable and vintage looking and some little girl out there would just love it. It would make a great art smock, too.
Okay, here is the yarn that I will happily pack up and send to you when you win:

Leave me a comment on this blog post and say hi, tell me something good, tell me something funny, whatever comes to mind. Leave some sort of identifying information like a name, location, link, email address (it's up to you). Please do not email me to enter, you need to leave a comment. I am not sure when I will end this contest. Next week is spotty for me, I will be in and out and my work load is never-ending. I am just opening the contest up and then I will end it when I get a chance. I am leaving it at that. Leave only one comment, please.
I will randomly select a winner with a number generator. I will post the winner on my next blog post. The winner will have 2 days after I post to contact me with their mailing address. If I don't hear from the winner after 2 days I will select a new winner and then I will post it on the blog.
That's all. Have fun! Go for it!
best, susie

I have silver in my hair, gold in my teeth, and lead in my ..., hot flashes, I could have a metallic melt down at any moment. The only thing keeping me cool is knitting itty-bitty patterns and yarn from you.

You are soooooo very sweet and thoughtful! And what a yarn collection, what fun that would be to knit with it!

Just bought supplies to make Ribbit, now a giveaway too! Love all your patterns!

Oh, that apron is the best. My toddler is definitely an apron girl, she loves hats and aprons, mittens, scarves, anything she can put on.
The yarn is fabulous too, of course.
The good/happy thing I can contribute is that my 15.5-year-old most-beloved ewe Molly is recovered and thriving after a couple of recent dicey weeks. Thank goodness for large animal vets who know what they're doing.

Oh, pick me, pick me. I NEVER win anything. And all that gorgeous yarn is absolutely making me drool!

You are so generous. I am
an apron girl! I am knitting
your upside down daisy hat!
HI!!, That little outfit would look cute on my 5 year old. Two years ago our family was going to a company Christmas dinner. We got to the resturant and all piled out of the van(we have 6 kids)My 5 year old, then 3 is holding my hand and skipping across the parking lot says in a loud voice,"I smell dinner!" We all lost it. LOL
That yarn looks so yummy, I have a few kids I could knit for with all that, even recruit my 17 year old to help. :)
Wow! I have a new (2 week old) granddaughter and I am loving making adorable "Itty Bitty" hats for her. Would especially love the cotton yarns. And the adorable apron would be so cute on my 4 year old granddaughter.
Thanks for your wonderful blog which brightens my days.
Nancy in Carmel
Wow, Crafts Club at school would love this stash! I'm setting up about 10 size 8 circular needles for the groups first project. It'll be their first project and hopefully a first community project. Thanks for a wonderful blog.

Good Morning! I'm sitting here with my week and a half old baby in my arms. What's better than that?
How lovely... I came to comment on how much I love Spud and Zoe yarn and the patterns you have been designing. I just created a watermelon hat for my niece, and am using the same yarns to make a watermelon sweater to match. Thanks so much!!!

Already thinking about the possibilities with such yarn!
I love your patterns and yarn choices. I am more of an enthusiast than expert and I would love to get better!
Greetings from Wyoming!!! Taught my youngest to knit last Christmas ( a college freshman as of three days ago) and already she has knit a hat for boyfriend and a lovely baby blanket for a special friend. I love her generous and giving nature. Your goodies would make a great beginning for her own personal stash. Just discovered your blog last month and thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you. Anita
Love the blog - love all of the ideas I get from it - would LOVE to win some yarn!! Thanks for everything.
Love all you patterns and would love to use the yarn you use! The apron is adorable.
Beautiful yarns. Love the apron too. Hope I win.
Hi, Susan,
Sent a completed Ribbit to a new baby in my life and the parents loved it! I've already completed one cupcake pincushion and plan to make another for Christmas gifts. Would love to win this giveaway. Thanks!
Good Morning Susan! I truly enjoy reading your blog. It keeps me in a postive mood, especially after a long day in Mortuary School. I love yarn! I can never have too much, but my mother begs to differ. :D
Sooo...i'm the 222 commenter and it is Sunday morning, before church even! You have a really popular site. No wonder with all the adorable patterns and sewing ideas., I am so glad I found your blog via nevernotknitting. I am making a cute baby cardi and my youngest aughter is 18 years old. I just couldn't help myself!

If I win this, I'm going to pass it along to a friend. She make newborn hats for the hospital, and these yarns would be great for her.
Tammy
P.S. And I have a four-year-old at home for the apron!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I just knit my first project with Spud and Chloe and wouldn't have known about it if it hadn't been for your blog! Love it (your blog and the yarn).
I love to watch the goings-on at your house/blog. Lot's of fun! I really like your spirit of "no fear" especially when starting yoru quilt. That is awesome and inspiring.
Sooo...it looks like 221 people are here before me. ANd on a Sunday morning. WOW!! You have an amazing talent for sparking joy and pleasure from the common things of everyday life. I like that! You are inspiring me to be more spontaneous in my crafting.

Wow! that's a lot of yarn!!! :)
OMG . . . so much summer yarn! How exciting! You are very generous to be having a give-away. I would imagine you could use your site to sell it. I make your elefante pattern this past winter, and it has been a big hit here at the house. My next toy will be one of the following (will keep waffling until it is up in the que): knit chicken, prehistoric pal, or ribbit! Have a great day!!
Yellow Springs, OH
That's so generous of you, this reminds me of Oprah's big giveaway,well,this is the knitter's version :) every knitter's dream stash.
Oh please pick me! I have to see that little apron in person. thanks for the great blog too.
What an AMAZING giveaway!!! My hubby thinks that my stash is too big (I only have 2 semi-filled totes), and I would love to drive him nuts by adding to it!!! And what better way, than with beautiful yarn?!?! My daughter has recently taken an interest in cooking, so the apron would be great for her!!! You can find me either at my blog nanasbuttonjar.blogspot.com or on ravelry as heffalump23!!
-Sharon in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
What a generous giveaway! My daughter is almost 2 and just starting to be interested in arts / crafts / helping in the kitchen - that little apron would be put to good use :)
Wow, that's very generous. I'm a frequent reader of your blog and so enjoy your posts. I find your your children knits super cute and have made a couple of the hats in your Itty-Bitty hats book. I must also say that I loved the the Collector's fairy house you posted a while ago and hope the fairies are busy making it a home! All the best, Luciana

Heel Susan, I have been knitting your baby hats since we found out our daughter is expecting our first grandchild (in the next few days. I just hope I am not flying out to see her when you pick the winner! I will be sure to check the next post. Too exciting!!!!
I would so dearly love to win this!! lol! I've never won anything before, and get this: once a teenager approached me because he had TWO tickets left to sell from his block for a raffle where the prize was going to be a car. A VW beetle, a Herbie twin... well, I had only five dollars in my pocket and only bought ONE ticket... guess what happened...
The OTHER TICKET was the winner!

I just received my Spud and Chloe yarn order to make a blanket for my baby. It is beautiful! I can't say enough about how soft it is, and the colors are wonderful. I am so excited to get started knitting, and I am already planning me next projects.
I just love your blog(s). Thank you for the giveaway!
Oh Wow! As a fairly new knitter I'm still building my stash, which is always a good excuse to acquire more yarn :o).
Itty bitty hats was my first knitting book purchase, with itty bitty nursery right behind it. Can't wait for the toys book next.
Oh my goodness, what beautiful yarn! I really need to win!!
Funny...I was just looking on ebay for some yarn to make some more hats.
I have a 3 1/2 year old apron wearing daughter too.
Throw my name in the hat please.
I love your books. I am slowly working my way through all the Itty Bitty hats for my daughter. She already has a lot of hats. Brianna from Wisconsin

Right now...I'm going to go rest a bit.
An art smock? I might FAINT if finger paint got on that darling apron :-) Okay, here's my all time favorite joke....

Hi! This is indeed a super-duper giveaway. I enjoy reading your blog. Kristi (queenbee1958 on Ravelry)
I'm a frequent reader but infrequent commenter. I'm Alicia from Texas, and my daughter, Hannah has modeled just about everything I've knitted as I've worked my way through Itty Bitty Nursery and Itty Bitty Hats. Can't wait to get my hands on Toys!
My fun news - we just found out we have another baby on the way which was a HUGE surprise, but a HUGE blessing. We haven't even shared our news yet. My hands are already itching to knit something for our newest family member. =)
What a generous giveaway. Thank you!
Hi, I'm Rebecca from Southern Illois. I love to read your blog, you are so creative and entertaining. Being a poor college student, I don't have much money to spend on yarn and all these look soooo great!
Oh my, it's the MOTHER LODE of yarn give-aways! I can't tell jokes worth a hoot, but here's something real my 2 year old granddaughter said to me yesterday as we were working on a new puzzle: "Grana, you are a VERY good helper!"
Hope I win, just so I can finally say I WON!
Chris from Holland,MI

OK, here's my joke, it is kind of visual...
What did the 0 (zero) say to the
8 (eight)?
Nice belt.
Makes me laugh, would love to win the yarn, I will share it, there is sooo much. Thanks
I would love some of that yarn! Thanks :-)
Your give aways are soooo generous! I have a neice that would look so cute in the apron.
I LOVE that apron. My oldest daughter starts K tomarrow (08/24/08) and it reminds me of the smocks that I wore for painting in K. The memories are spinning.

In case you didn't know (as it would seem that I didn't), don't go to Florida on vacation with old sun block. And if you do number 1, don't do the following: stay out in the sun for around 5 hours looking at all the really cool fishies in the water by the rocks. If you do both #1 and #2, you will burn places that make sitting, walking, standing still very uncomfortable. Walking with the back of your knee caps burnt is not even fun. That's my funny thing.
And now for this: I love this blog. :D Your hats make me all kinds of happy, even though I don't have kids, know kids, or have anyone in my life making kids right now. I have your first book and am knitting through it for charity. I started with the petal hat. Thanks for sharing your great designs (esp. the free ones on Spud and Chole!).
Hi Susan,
I bought a book of yours at my LYS and have been following you since. I am drooling over the idea of a yarn giveaway.
Liz from WI
Wow! What an amazing collection, let alone a giveaway! I would love love love to win that and then I could actually make the rainbow marley I keep thinking I should make!
I hope this comment works this time because I would really really love to win this giveaway. Awesome yarn, awesome apron, awesome blog!
Jill
Love the apron.
I have been knitting for 3 years. All I can make are scarves and baby hats........ Am I knit challenged? I would love to win your yarn giveaway.
yaya
What a wonderful collection of cotton yarns! Phoebe, who just turned one, could get a whole wardrobe of baby hats and cardigans out of that!
Something good ... hmm ... Phoebe is currentlly wearing my sunglasses and a necklace her brother made out of a leather strap and various colored plastic beads. She's looking pretty good at the moment! :)
I can never have enough yarn and since I live in your neighborhood, you could drop it on my front porch and save a trip to the Post Office! Since I have 2 sons, I have a little girlfriend who'd be adorable in the apron...also in the neighborhood!
thanks, Anne
Always a joy to see what you are doing and sharing. Thank you for all you have contributed and continue to offer our world of knitting geeks! Hugs!

Oh, how generous you are! I would LOVE to win that gorgeous yarn!
I'm a newbie to itty-bitty hats, but have made 4 since the end of May. My favorite has been the pumpkin hat (made it twice.) My soon-to-be-born great neice will never have a chilly head!
Wow what a generous giveaway, thank you! I enjoy your patterns a lot. I am hoping to start on the elefante for my little one this week. He turns 1 in a couple of weeks and our theme is...you guessed it elephants! =)
I hope I win....fingers crossed.
wow! how fun! my daughter would love that apron and i would love that yarn!:)
angela
Susan, hope I win. I am in the Itty Bitty Knits group on Ravelry and my ravelry ID is vereader.
I am currently making the circles & stripes stroller blanket, then I'm going to try the watermelon hat pattern you posted. (It will be my first hat attempt--if I survive then I will try something from Itty Bitty Hats--LOL.)
Wowser! Winning would be excellent timing as I just started a blanket with my Tahki Cotton Classic stash.
That's alot of knitting materials while sitting at a swim meet! How did your son do at the meet? I hope he has a great long career in swimming!
Take care!

Hi Susan, I can't wait for your itty-bitty toys to come out! I love your itty-bitty series. We've been trying to have a little one for 14 years. Now when I get upset I just start an itty-bitty project & I think of how much the wait will be worth it! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!
Thank you & hope I win, you always have the best giveaways! !
Diane S. ~ Selkirk, NY
I love your itty-bitty hats! I made the birthday cake hat for my friend's little boy and it was so cute that I'm planning on making two more this fall. I've been trying to get some Tahki but none of my local stores seems to have it. I've also made your cherry hat for my niece and I can't wait to make her more hats! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway! You are too generous!
I'm sarahdluck on Ravelry.
Those yarns are lovely!I have several baby showers coming up at the end of the year and I'd love to make a bunch of cute hats. And my daughter would love to wear the cute apron
I've been following along at Spud & Chloe -- such cute patterns. I can't wait to make up the bouncy bunny!
OH WOW, i WOULD LOVE TO WIN ALL THIS STUFF. i LOVE THE LITTLE APRON, DID YOU MAKE IT.
Well gosh--over 300 comments! Holy cow. I have way too much stash, so I'm no competition. But here's what I wonder. I wonder what the intended project for the Tahki cotton was.
Hi there, love the yummy colors of your wool. They kinda remind me of girl scout cookies, thin mints, lemon creams. Hmm, something funny. How about realising at 9:30this evening that we had a project due tomorrow. We got that little sucker done in 1 hour. Definitely a record in this house but not something I want to try beat.
Ooohh! I wanna win. Just finished the rambling scarf and will post pictures on ravelry soon. Thanks so much for your inspiration and great designs. I get so many compliments because of you!! Thanks!
Susan, thank you so much for your generosity with your stuff and with your life :) I love the apron, but the yarn looks amazing too! I'm thinking I must be a Knitter since I desperately want more yarn (can't pass up yarn. any yarn.), but am in the middle of first trimester all-day-sickness and can't knit a lick these days (or eat or stand up). We're going on a trip to New Zealand soon to visit friends and sightsee so I'm saving up my energy to make the cupcake hat from Itty Bitty Nursery. I absolutely love that book and can't wait for the next one. Have fun cleaning and getting your house done!
Hi Susie--
thanks for cleaning out your stash--you are too generous!!
Love this kind of yarn..anything to make baby items for Charity I love..
What a lovely giveaway !!
I have just made a moss stitch blanket for a friend and washed today. Its collapsed into spagetti- like string in the water !!
Im just hoping it will come back to its original shape..I have only 4 days until I need to gift it. What a worry. !!
I have just been made a Nana and would love to use the yarn for baby projects.
Nicky
I would love to win this beautiful yarn so that I can make some baby hats. I have all of your books

How many comments. WOW
i'm 9 days away from delivering our third son and have horrible pregnancy insomnia...you blog has been a delightful respite to this ever-learning knitter!
Wow. I mean, wow. I love all of those yarns! I am pretty much a baby hat knitter--I've got a 16 month old named Gus and hats for he and his friends--this is all I've got time for! I would love this giveaway so much (and so would all the babies!) Let's see...something to make you laugh...knock knock, who's there? Impatient Cow. Impatient Ca--MOOO!
I'm new to North Carolina and would love to have that yarn. I don't have a favorite yarn shop yet. Thanks for the chance.
Hi! This weekend we are celebrating because my baby boy (6 months) came out of surgery, battled complications but today is healthy and happy. Not sure which hat to make him but fall comes quick to my neck of the woods.
Hi Susan. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. It's alway a surprise
skburger@insightbb.com
hi! I recently told my sister about your wonderful email letters...she loves them and your Collector... she is also a fairy fan. Hope to win so I can share the goodies with her. thanks for your generosity.
Here's something funny... I had a dream I was making star-shaped dishcloths this morning, just before I woke up. I've never made anything star-shaped and I figured out how to do it in my dream. (I'm a new-ish knitter, you see.) If I win this lovely contest I'll try out my dream technique and see if it works. (=
I absolutely love your Itty Bitty Hats and Nursery books. I've made many adorable baby gifts from your patterns.
I hope it's not too late to leave a comment...
thanks!

I love your Itty Bitty Hats and Nursery books. I've made many a baby very happy with your designs!!
Keep up the great work!

Love all of your books! I've made many a baby cuter with your cute designs!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Amy
I've just 'cleaned out' my home as well, and this would be an AWESOME way to start off my new 'accumulation of stuff!' Thanks!!
Here's my favorite joke: What do an elephant and a plum have in common? They're both purple! ...Except the elephant.
Susan- You have the best give aways..and I'm not just saying that because I would love to win the goodies! Hope that you make another trip to Michigan to show off your new book.

Hi Susan,
I just love your blog! It is always so fun to read as well as inspiring. Your patterns are just great. I have your Itty Bitty Nursery book and my goal is to knit the Tea Set. Thanks for having the giveaway.

Hi, Susan! Our granddaughter, Zoe, loves hats, so I am having fun knitting through your Itty Bitty designs. The one most commented on so far has been the birthday cake hat. People stop Zoe & parents everywhere wanting to know where they got her hat. Even the doctor at Zoe's 1-year checkup said that everyone should have a birthday hat like that! I just smile and keep knitting! Thank you for bringing lots of joy to so many. I've recently retired...more time to knit (smaller paycheck) so would love to win!!
Hey Susan_
I just got back from Maine and visisted a wonderful shop there - Heavenly Socks in Belfast Maine. Just the type of great local shop your readers would like. They carry a nice selection of "Maine made" yarns which supports the local, farmers, spinners and dyers - picked up a skein from one of my favorite farms Done Roving. If you get a chance to visit 'mid-coast Maine you'd love Belfast.
Thanks for another chance to win one of your generous give aways.
What an AWESOME giveaway!
The funniest/cutest thing I can tell you is that my 2.5 year old daughter wants to knit. She takes my needles and says "I knit, I knit" and taps the needles together and tosses the yarn around like a salad. Adorable! A chip off the old block!
Thanks for being so generous.

wow, what a generous giveaway! I love it! I have been dying to make toys from your book for my babe on the way and having a stash like that would be the perfect way to get started.
Hi Susie,
Wow, what a giveaway! My 4-year old would love the apron, we are cooking a lot together right now. And I am thinking of a summer dress I could make with all that cotton yarn for either her, or my grand-daughter (yes I have a 4-year old and a grand-daughter, crazy!).
I love all your tales about the Collector, she reminds me of my oldest daughter. Take care,

Love it! I love the blog and reading all your updates keep it up!
Awesome contest! Makes me want to go yarn shopping though...
Hello! I just love checking your blog each day! Thanks for all the great inspiration!
What a great giveaway! I have been knitting for a little over a year now. I started knitting when I just couldn't find any quality baby knits for my son. I love babys in hats, so my first purchase was your itty bitty hats book. I recently found this blog and have been following you for a month or so.

I have the perfect little girl to wear that apron. She would love it, as in never take it off. Oh, how she needs that apron!

What a great giveaway!
A very cute joke for you...what did the snail say when he was riding up on the turtle's back???? WEE......
I love that joke. Valli of sweetpeaquilts@yahoo.com.
Hi Susan,
I wanted to tell you that Mondays are special days....each of us has the opportunity to start anew!!! Your give away looks spectacular and I hope I can win the stash. I have a niece who would love to wear the apron.

Hope I'm not too late to enter!
Susan,
You are so generous! Thanks for your great patterns and give-aways!

What a great giveaway! I would love to win so I could make hats for The Preemie Project!
i just love your books and can not wait until the new one comes out. I just love making the hats and giving them out to all the newest members of the family. I also love quilt ideas can't wait to see you make some of those. I would love to be able to do half of what you can do. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Nicole H. in MN
Hi Susan! What an awesome giveaway; thanks for the opportunity. It's Michelle from Chicago. I don't know if you remember, but I'm the one who sent you the pictures of my girls in the sweetheart hats last year {Maeve & Fiona}.
I do have a funny story to share; however, is a bit embarrasing. But. I'll risk humiliation and tell it. Maeve is our oldest and she just turned 4 on 8.15. Daddy has always struggled with his 'sailor' mouth and just recently I heard Maeve use a bad word! She was in the bathroom and had just went potty. She is a big girl and is very good about washing her hands. But is NOT good about drying them. So after she washed, she tried to open the door, but was not able because her hands were wet. And out of frustration - to no one but herself yelled out, "I CAN'T GET THE ----ING DOOR OPEN!!!"
........
My only response was to go and open the door. So I did & she just said very calmly and cooly, "Thanks, Mommy!" And went back to playing.
I hope this wasn't too harsh/crude to tell on your blog. But I find that people really get a kick out of these kinds of stories. :)
{f.y.i. she hasn't said it since, so I just left it alone.}
Hi Susan!
I'm a new knitter as of November 2008! I LOVE making baby hats and love your patterns! Thanks for putting up this great blog! :)
Autumn from Burbank, CA
Hi! I wanted to tell you how much I love your blog. I read it faithfully everyday. And now you are offering another great give-away. The apron is fabulous - I have to admit - I focused on it first - very vintage and little girl looking. I would love a chance to win this gorgeous apron and of course all the yarn would be a bonus too - I love knitting for babies. Now if someone in the family (not me) would just have a baby already - the youngest cousin is turning 5 - we need a baby!
hi susan,
i love all your hats and toys! my granddaughter has been a lucky recipient of them from a few sources. Nice friends, yes!!
do i have to purge my stash if i win some of yours?
r
Wow great stash of goodies. I can hardly wait for your new book to come out. Every time a friend has a little one I turn to your books for the perfect gift.
Sarah T
so, i've been reading your blog for quite some time now, yet this is my first comment. (it's great yarn, i had to try). I just wanted to let you know that i have had some rough days recently, and being able to escape a bit on the internet with people who love making stuff as much as i do can really change everything. Thanks for being out there and making beautiful things. ~kaitlin (davis, west virginia)
I love your patterns and cannot wait for the next book of patterns to come out.
Oooh, please enter me! I would love to win some yarn. Thank you!
Hi Susie! I love all the ideas you post and I tell my husband that you're responsible for my knitting addiction (thanks to itty-bitty books). Would love to use this yarn to make lovely itty-bittys and my daughter would put the apron to great use!
becky in frederick
oooohh.. lots of hats or little sweaters, all those wonderfully quick projects!
ravelry - sitdevil
I am so in love with your give aways. I am addicted to your patterns. I desperately NEED to win this one. I have 4 granddaughters and this give away screams their names.
barb
Your fun spirit, creative talents and kind heart are an inspiration to more people than you can even imagine! What a great idea and offer! Good luck to everyone! See you in the IBK group!

I would love to have all that yarn. Love your books and patterns.

Oh my gosh! So much yarn in baby-licious colors. That apron is too cute also. I know a five year old who would much appreciate it. I've had fun seeing your kitchen remodeling over the last few weeks though I'm sure it hasn't been fun living through the chaos!
Susan, I'd love to help you out with your stash management issues. All the more yarn for me to make more fun itty-bitty hats with. :-) Jean
I have a number of pregnant girlfriends and need to get knitting soon before the babies arrive!
Pick me, Pick me! I promise to share the yarn and knit up some Charity baby hats!
I just found out I'm going to be an Auntie! :D
I also know a 4 year old who would just squeal in delight over that apron!
Hmm... something funny. I use transit to get to and from work every day. While riding along, I either knit or crochet to keep my fingers busy and the time just flies by (considering a round trip is 5 hours every day!) In the past week, I burned through a giant ball of Peaches and Cream coton turning the lovely cotton into washcloths for gifts. On one of the buses I use, the driver noticed that every day I seemed to be always working on the same size square, never growing or getting anywhere and it had him puzzled... until I pulled out 11 more identical squares out of my bag! LOL I blew him away!

Wow, wow, and WOW - what beautiful yarns! Again, how generous of you to share. I never miss your blog. Besides all the great patterns and insight from you, all the incredible links - my whole knitting world has grown immensely. As for the apron, have to admit I am an apron girl - because my grandmother always wore one (and she made them - beautiful hand-smocked and huck stitch). They were apparently magical because all the food that came out of her kitchen was fabulous! (Mine, perhaps not as magical...) Thank you again.
Jane from Appleton
Hello! I love reading your blog...I feel like you are a friend!! I've been busy all weekend working on the Textured Baby Blanket - almost finished! White square with the colored holes is my favorite. Thank you for sharing! Michelle B. from Noblesville, IN
How generous you are to give away all these FABULOUS yarns, Susan! I knit for charity (hats, sweaters & blankets) and use this as the opportunity to try the "better" yarns since the items only take a little bit of yarn. Makes me feel a whole lot better to make something useful...much better than just swatching!
Margie
oooh, looks like fun. I enjoy your site. I love to crochet, but have never quite figured out the knitting thing. Maybe this winter....

What a great giveaway love your blog. I have 11 grandchildren and can't get enough of itty bitty hats!! karenlambert@cox.net
Your blog inspires me to be a happier, more creative person!
Susan - thanks so much for the sweet watermelon hat. I have downloaded it and can't wait to make it for my daughter. Maybe this fall. :) I haven't been online much lately (the little one has decided naps are definitely out), but I'm having fun catching up with your blog!
Erika C from Fredericksburg, VA
I would love to be entered into your giveaway! Love your books!!!
Jody
Another giveaway.....I really never win but it sure is fun to think about what you would do with the winnings. Sending four kids back to college (two to Madison)this week so I will once again have time to knit and sew. When I am in Madison visiting my son I always stop at Lakeside Fibers, one of my favorite knitting stores. Maybe one of these times you will be there, I would love to meet you.
Please Pick Me!

I love your cleaning ....when i clean it's dust bunnies...you yarn yummies:)
