Yarn Giveaway Drawing Winners!

Congratulations and thank you all for participating and donating. For those that didn't win, buck up, neither did the Patriots. But I have a book give-away coming up so maybe you're up for round two?

Without further ado....

Batch #1 goes to Leigh (yellows)

Batch #2 goes to Martha (pinks)

Batch 3 goes to Michelle (orphans)

Batch #4 goes to Peg (silks)

Batch # 5 goes to Restless Knitter (weaver's batch)

My method of choosing was to pick 5 names and note the order they were picked.
The first up had first choice if they stated one and so on.
I will need everyone to contact me with their address so I can get these shipped on out.
My e-mail is available on my profile page to the right. A word about shipping, I am not the fastest. These usually get packed up in bundles as I have time and am planning town trips. It's free but it's not always speedy. Assuming I get your addy in a reasonable amount of time, you should look for your packages to arrive within two weeks.

WOO HOO!!!! I'm a WINNER!!! I almost never win anything, so I'm really thrilled. And getting ready to contact my SPCA regarding another donation.

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.

Michelle said...

Thank-you, Theresa! My lot is perfect; I'll use them to make special, quick-knit gifts! And last week I donated to pet shelters in the two towns nearest me; will also be checking with the county animal control shelter to see what their needs are and contribute.

Congrats to all the winners.
You have inspired me now to take a beautiful knitting book I have bought to our local knit shop for a raffle with the proceeds going to the rescue shelter.
Like you said Pay It Forward...
Thank you.

Oh, Miss Maddie; what a wonderful idea! I received a knitting book in another giveaway that I will NEVER use; I wonder if my LYS would take it and I could donate the proceeds to a shelter? If not, maybe I could sell it on eBay and donate the proceeds.

What a delightful idea! Can I use that?

Leigh said...

Leigh as in me??? Oh, I'm so excited. The yellows are absolutely perfect. Just the cheery thing I need with all our subtle winters browns, greens and grays. My donation to Indian Creek Llama Sanctuary is on the way.

Thank you so much! My donation to a local rescue organization has already been made.

Congratulations to the winners and thank you for raising awareness of local vendors!

Congratulations to all! I can't wait to hear/see what you all make with your winnings.

You know, I was thinking about that, Denise, and remembered that one of the local shelters has a gift shop that carries some handmade things. I think most of my winnings will be made into small projects and donated to that shop to support the shelter!
