Yo!
We are getting close to $5,000. Well, okay, we have about a thousand more to go to get there. But I'm an optimist. Who knew?
Can we do it before the end of August?
What do you think? It's a knitters' and crocheters'
back-to-school challenge!
Remember to email me if you've donated, if you want to be entered in the drawing. And if you make multiple donations, I'll enter you multiple times. More prizes thankfully received, as well.
------------------------
Look, we have a few more prizes to offer:
Larkin has a copy of Knitting Under The Influence to send to a lucky winner.
--------------
Blog-free MaryBeth M. has thoughtfully donated the following:
Regia Cotton Tip and Top;
A hank of Wool in the Woods yarn;
and 3 balls of Fortissima Cotton sock yarn.
--------------
I'm tempted to keep this one for myself, it's so soft and squishy and just my color:
A whole sweater's worth of Jaeger Persia, in taupe and cream, with a Rebecca pattern leaflet for a nice cowl-neck boucle sweater. Wonderful! This is donated by Elizabeth M.
----------------------------------
And Helen will send you this fabulous skein of Sweet Feet in the colorway "Cowboy" if you win:
Thanks to everyone for the generous donations!

We also have a wonderful new crocheted version of Gwen's Scarf pattern to offer from Carol:
Jeanne has kindly converted the Word doc into a lovely pdf. Thank you, Jeanne! Here is the pdf:

***COME BACK TOMORROW FOR SOME PRIZE AWARDS. DONATE NOW (AND DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL ME) TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR DRAWINGS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THAT STARMORE BOOK OR SOME OF THOSE LOVELY YARNS YOU'VE BEEN COVETING MIGHT BE GIVEN AWAY!!***
Vicki asks: "THAT Starmore book?" which I take to mean "WHICH one?"
This one, donated by Chris N:
a like-new copy of Alice Starmore's Book of Fair Isle Knitting.
Did you click that link? Did you perchance notice the price tag on that baby?
We can do it! We can do it! (said in my best Little Engine that Could voice)

Hmm, good thing it's payday. I'll hit you up once I cash the ol paycheckeroo.

Oh thank Jeanne for converting that! I had a heck of a time with it! I would stand on head for days to win AS's book! I could probably use the blood supply to the brain anyway;)

"Yo"?
Um, who do you think you are, Scout?
Congrats on the $$$!
("Yo". She said "Yo". Take her into the city for a couple of hours and she gets, like, all ghetto street on me...)
