Blogiversary Prize Winners! :)

Posted on August 1, 2008 by gettinitpegged

Yippee!!!  The winners have been drawn!  It was completely fair and unbiased, I promise… even though I would have given prizes to everyone if I could because each and every one of you deserve it!  This is the preschool teacher part of me coming out… it’s hard to let only 3 win.  😛

But, alas, there are just 3 prizes, so only 3 must be drawn… here’s how I did it:

Each comment was worth one entry.  Each blog participation in the questionnaire was worth two entries.  Each referral was worth one entry.  Each entry was assigned a number.  Three numbers were  drawn by the random numbers generator.  The prizes have been awarded in the order that they were announced. 

Therefore… drum roll please……..

Winner #1 (who’s lucky number was 21) is: Dianne Carroll! 

a Signed copy of the Loom Knitting Pattern Book!

Prize One: a Signed copy of the Loom Knitting Pattern Book!

Winner #2 (who’s lucky number was 61) is:  Robin McCoy!

Nine Skeins of Velvet Spun yarn by Lion Brand!

Prize Two: Nine Skeins of Velvet Spun yarn by Lion Brand!

Winner #3 (who’s lucky number was 52) is:  Terry (Balancedact1)!

Too-cool, gadgety Pom-Pom Makers by Clover!

Prize Three: Too-cool, gadgety Pom-Pom Makers by Clover!

Congratulations ladies!!!  😀  Please send your shipping addresses to:  Bethany@GettinItPegged.com so that I can pop your goodies into the post for you ASAP! 

And again, a BIG Thank You to everyone who came and spent the day with me.  I really had soooo much fun…you guys are the best!  😀

Blogiversary Part II…

Posted on July 27, 2008 by gettinitpegged

Are you ready for another way to WIN?

Well, I’m a naturally curious person… I get to meet all these wonderful loomy ladies (with a few guys sprinkled in) without ever having met them, or spend time in person at their house, eating pizza, or party cake…

So, inquiring minds want to know!  😉  This is what you do…

If you have a blog, you can copy and paste the questions below into a post…all filled out with your answers, of course.  Then make sure to link back to here, inviting others to participate in the party.  Leave a comment here to let me know that you’ve completed your post.  This will also let everyone know to go look at your blog to read your answers…kind of like a blog block party!  You will receive 2 entries for participating on your blog, and one for every person who comes to the party, and leaves their answers, with your name as the invitee! 

If you don’t have a blog…don’t fret!  You can answer the questions right here in the comments!  You will receive an entry for you and for any friend who you’ve invited to come and play…cool, huh?!  😀  Let the games begin!!!

  1. What was your age when you first discovered your love of yarn?  What (or who) was it that introduced you to all that fibery goodness?
  2. If you could sit down with anyone in the world to have a little knit along, who would it be?
  3. What is your favorite comfy place or position in which to work with yarn?
  4. Like our heroin in the story below, do you ever dream about soft fuzzy goodness?  Or how to do a particular technique you’d never thought of while awake?
  5. What type of loomer/knitter/crocheter are you?  Do you like long involved projects, or quickies full of fast satisfaction?
  6. Have you ever guiltily postponed dinner due to your involvement with a project?
  7. What is your ultimate goal in your yarn life? 
  8. Do you have a favorite snack you like to munch while working with yarn?
  9. What is your all time most favorite yarn tool/accessory that you absolutely could not live without?
  10. What is your favorite movie?
  11. What is your favorite book as an adult…and what was yours as a child?
  12. What are you working on right now with your yarn?
  13. Is there a special project that you’ve been just dying for someone (or yourself) to design?
  14. Did someone invite you to join in on the party today?

Don’t forget that the story continues…  It’s not too late to add to the drama of a Knitter in Need…  😉
