Did Someone Say Prizes?

First of all, thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Mittnz Challenge. You knit, sewed, crocheted or bought an incredible 644 pairs of Mittnz.

How is that compared to prior years? Well, to be honest, the total is low. (And though it bugs the sh*t out off me to hear other people say it) In this economy, that's phenomenal!


This is most of the prizes for this year's Mittnz Challenge. I will admit that one was "missing on picture day" and I am tearing the house apart looking for it!

Somewhere in this room is a set of KnitPicks double points. I thought I put them in the box with all of the other prizes as they arrived, but damned if they can be found!

I have conducted the official random draw of all nine-pair participants, and am pleased to announce that the following ::drumroll, please:: kniiters/sewers/crocheters should be expecting an email from me requesting a mailing address.

Nancy G, Bev H, Cherri, Ann H, LizzyK8, Carol K, Julie, Jennifer, and Mary's sister.

Don't throw away those ticket stubs yet! I will still be awarding the needles as soon as i find them.

You would be amazed at how clean and neat parts of this room are. You would be equally amazed at the mess everywhere else, I'm sure!

Please Get In Touch

If Charlotte and Jami whill send me their snail addresses (privately to abmcmanus AT verizon DOT net--make the obvious changes), I will get the yarn and book to their respective homes (that would be yarn to Charlotte, book to Jami).

I'm holding both of you to your promises!

Look What I Found!


And then, I found an extra copy of this.

So, would you like a copy of Kaffee Fassett's Family Album?

I will say right up front that some of the styles are very dated, but the colorwork is glorious. You don't get much better than KF!

Think of it as eye candy or inspiration.

Leave me a comment. If there's more than one of you out there, I'll draw a name.

Craft It Forward



AnnaSophia has a wonderful crafty blog with all sorts of great ideas, so when she said


"If you want to win a handmade ♥GIFT♥ from me. Be one of the first 3 bloggers to leave a comment on this post, which entitles you to a handmade item from me.

Winners must post this giveaway on your blog, meaning that you will {Craft it Forward} too, creating a handmade gift for the first three bloggers who leave a comment on YOUR post about this giveaway! The gift that you send can be any price range and you have 30 days to make and ship your item(s).

Now do you see why I thought this idea was genius? How fun is this gonna be? Remember, it’s the spirit and the thought that count! When you receive your gift, please blog about it, sharing appropriate Linky Love! If you are not one of the Top Three to comment on this post, you can still play along. Please start your own {Craft it Forward} chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same. "

I mean, how could I resist?

My craft it forward arrived today. Thank you, AnnaSophia. I love this sweet little notebook! It's just the thing to tuck in my purse so I'm not writing Notes About Important Stuff on the back of receipts from the Tree or Ollie's!

So, now it's my turn, and yours! If you'd like a little something crafty from me, leave a comment. I'll draw three names at random (thank you Random Number Generator). If your name is pulled among the 3, I'll contact you for your snail addres, then I'll make you something and send it along. Remember that you need to post when it arrives and Craft It Forward to 3 more bloggers.
So, what else do we have in the giveaway bin?




I went NUTZ at Goodwill on the weekend and came home with many pounds (like 13) of yarn that I will use mostly for weaving. These gems were among the haul, and since I'm unlikely to use them anytime soon, I thought that I would offer them up.
Any takers?? Tell me what you would do with 5.5 balls of LB Fun Fur (black, lava, and denim), 2 balls of Patons Allure (one is so purple that it's almost black, the other garnet red), a ball of black Chincilla Light, and that bit in the middle of Yin.

Best answer wins the yarn.
