More Prizes and a Special Offer from "I'm Knitting As Fast As I Can" Susan! (updated at end!)

I might be starting to lose my organizational skills a little bit. I'll deny I ever said that, so don't quote me.

Anyhoo, if I've already blogged this prize, please forgive me -- she didn't donate it twice, and I thought I had already blogged it, but now I'm not sure, and I'm way too lazy to go through all my prize posts to find out. So just to make sure all the bases are covered, Kathryn K. has added a new copy of Reversible Knitting to the prize pool. Thank you, KMKat!

---------------------------------

What's knitting without reading -- or more appropriately for many of us listening to -- books? K. Gormley has donated the following amazing prize (Just wondering -- can I enter? Probably not, eh? Phooey.)

A Recorded Books audiobook of your choice - no longer than fifteen (15) cds (adult or children's titles). Winner: Go to www.recordedbooks.com and browse! (This is donated by K. G. privately, not sponsored by Recorded Books)

-----------------------------

And then of course (life is so complicated!) you need a gorgeous artisan tote bag to carry all your prizes and books and knitting in; am I correct?!

Margaret K. has donated one tote bag featuring her friend Catherine Fridey's artwork (maximum retail value $22.99). These bags are made of sturdy canvas and would be excellent for toting a project. The winner may select a design from either of Catherine’s shops:

Catherine Fridey was born in France, where she studied fine and graphic arts, but has lived in the U.S. for most of her life. She has always had a special fondness for Medieval and Renaissance Art, and feels they still generate strong emotions from people with themes that transcend time. She also enjoys painting birds, butterflies, and flowers, which stand alone or show up in the borders of her larger works.

Attached is a sample of her artwork, a painting entitled “Alsace” (she has given her permission for this image to be used in connection with this prize).

I can already hear all the ooohs and ahhhhhhs over this one!

Donate, and let us know the amount of your donation at redscarffund@gmail.com, for more chances to win!

And then we have a wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL special offer for you. Susan has made a super-generous offer: If you order any of her patterns between 6 a.m. Eastern Time today (November 19, 2009) and 6 a.m. Eastern Time tomorrow (November 20), Susan will donate all the net proceeds to the Red Scarf Fund!!! This way you will get a beautiful pattern (or however many you want) AND the OFA will benefit. There is no limit to the number of patterns you can purchase, but you must put "Red Scarf" in the comment line during checkout. [UPDATE, at 9:17 a.m. Eastern Time: WE ARE SMOKIN'! $50 already! Please keep it coming, and thank you, thank you, thank you Susan! It turns out that no comment line is coming up, so Susan is going to just donate all sales proceeds today to the Red Scarf Fund. And here is a link to her Ravelry patterns for your ease of finding them, and here is a photo of her very popular Feather Duster pattern to lure you in:]

Thank you, Susan! And thank you to all who donate and who buy Susan's patterns in support of this cause!
