I want to thank everyone who entered my first giveaway! I’m pretty new to this blogging thing and it’s nice to know that there are people out there actually reading!
And I’m so glad I’m not the only one thinking about the holidays in August. I’ve been saying you’ve got to plan! And you are all obviously planners.
Everyone had such great ideas! Beth, Lori, and Gil are on the cowl bandwagon, T is knitting up some cabled change purses, and Alice and Natalia are knitting hats. There were some fun non-knitter ideas, too! Crafty McSchnafty is roasting her own coffee beans! Shannon and Deanna are making jewelery, and Junghwa is making a photobook.
I picked a winner in the most diplomatic way possible: I wrote everyone’s name down on a little piece of paper, twice if you spread the word about the giveaway, and dropped them all in a hat. And the name I came up with was…
Natalie of No No 2 Yo Yo, a really great blog about eating right and working out. And now a recipient of a hand knit, one of a kind winter headband! So, Natalie, email me (allyson@thesweatshopoflove.com) your address and I’ll pop it right in the mail!
Again, thank you so much for entering, and I promise to have another giveaway real soon.
