Happy Sunday -- With a Giveaway

Good morning from your tardy blogger. Mr. Jefferies and I took an impromptu trip to visit Abigail in New York this weekend. I even remembered to bring the camera, and there were plenty of great things to photograph -- most notably the sign in the massage/acupuncture place that we visited yesterday morning -- but sadly for the blog, the old camnesia took hold again.

Ahhhhh, though. We had side-by-side mother/daughter foot reflexology, but first they put our feet into buckets of hot tea. And then we had hot stone full-body massages. Life.is.goooooooood.

I also could have welcomed you this morning with a great pee place post -- I haven't done those in a while, have I?! The rest area in Guilford, VT, just over the Massachusetts border, could have provided you with entertainment for a week. Well, OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's really quite special: Playground, formal garden, bench yoga stations, art gallery, etc., etc., etc. However, it was very dark when we got there last night, and quite cold. Mr. Jefferies and I used it for a half-hour exercise and stretch break. The cold air was a very welcome head-clearer at that point. The flash on my camera is not working, though, and the nighttime photos are useless. I need to get that camera looked at.... or replaced.

But how about a nice little giveaway instead of all that? Would that interest you? Of COURSE it would!

I have an extra copy of New England Knits by Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre. 

I was going to do a full review, with photos and all that, but when I Googled it, I saw that at least one person has already done that. So instead, I will point you in her direction, and say, "Yeah, what she said." And I'll go have another cup of coffee. Fair enough?

Let me know in the comments to this post by midnight tonight if you'd like this book, and I'll do a drawing tomorrow. Happy Sunday!

Oh me please! I would love this book; I'm on a very satisfying run of stash enhancement and I think there's several sweaters in there I could be knitting RIGHT NOW. :)

[Judy]

Hey Norm. I'd love to win that book. And the rest area.. most of the VT rest areas are superior to the other NE states. Have you enjoyed the one near WRJ with the recycled water treatment facility? Plus.. good coffee.

The book would be fabulous as an early holiday gift! Something to look forward to!!!!

[Becky]

A hot stone full-body massage!?!? Ooo, that's even better than 100% cashmere. As for the book, that one's been on my must-have list for a while. Please?

[Jessica]

I'm going to have to check out that rest stop! The chilly weather has made me crave New England knits....

[Ah-Ling]

aaaah!!! i would love to have that book!!

[Kate/Massachusetts]

It's a lovely book...thanks for the chance to win a copy!

[aliceq]

If that's the peestop just south of Brattleboro, they must have really cleaned it up. While the surroundings were decidely rustic, the odor was more reminiscent of barnyard than woods. Of course, that was maybe 10 years ago...

As for the book, I hadn't thought I'd like it, but I've seen a few FO posts in blogs and on Ravelry that have convinced me otherwise.

[Gwen]

add me to the list of people who'd like that book...it has plenty of "ooh, yum" projects!

[Kris]

I would love to win the book - I've had my eye on it but haven't picked it up yet.

[Mary Beth]

Ooh! Ooh! Pick me, please!

[Betsy]

Oooh - looks like a fabulous book. Please add me in too!

[Carole]

I love the image if you and Abigail and your side-by-side foot massages. It makes me think about Hannah and I doing that some day. And yes, I'd love to win that book.

[Denise]

I would love the book. My husband and his family are from New England while I am a west coast girl.

[Renata]

It's minus 7 degrees C (19 degrees F) here in B.C. right now, and I can definitely see myself knitting up one of those beautiful sweaters. Please add me to the list!

[naomi]

Count me in, please!

I'm glad you seem to have had such a refreshing weekend!

[Lise]

I would like to win too. Thanks for the giveaway.

[Laurie]

The book looks beautiful. I'd love to have it; thanks for offering it up!
