In the spirit of the season, and to celebrate over 100 sales on etsy, I am giving two skeins of a new yarn away!! (It is of course also available in the SHOP. )

Meet Wink. A new sparkly yarn that is a joy to dye, a marvel to hold, and wonderful to knit with.

Ok I'll let you take a peek.

SPREAD word, tell a friend, and you will be entered again - up to three times.
Your friend needs to leave a comment to be entered, AND tell me who sent them so you can be entered again!
Of course that friend can be entered again too if they tell a friend...you get the idea.

    I am trying to find your address, I have a couple cards to mail to you but seam to have lost 1/2 my address book. Email me if you don't mind. I thought I saved my package from my last order but can't find that either.

  34. Great yarn, love the sparkle. Having seen it in person I can safely say the photos, although beautiful, hardly do it justice.

  37. I love the purple especially, but they're both beautiful. I also love the photos from the Troy Market. Does your daughter sell there too? Her business name is familiar. You told me to enter your contest. Let me see if I can find someone else.

  38. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the color of your yarn. I found your site through a friend that found my site: www.goannabanana.blogspot.com/

    If I win, I will write about your yarn on my site and post pix of what I knit. It will be great exposure for you on the West coast!!!

  39. Debbie, I call my daughter, a teenager who does not have her own business, my "crafty girl". I frequently talk about what she has made or cooked or taken pictures of. She is very smart and has a really good eye.
