lauraslefthook!!! Congratulations!

Laura, e-mail me your address and color preference and give me about a week to make and mail.

And a huge THANK YOU to everyone else who participated in my giveaway and anniversary celebration. I had fun! Keep checking back for more sales and giveaways throughout the year.

New items and a GIVEAWAY!

Happy one-year birthday to LikeClochework! In celebration, I am introducing two new items and running my second giveaway. I'm also running a sale in my Etsy shop with free gifts and free shipping. I am also offering a FREE HAT to the first person who gets me to the front page of Etsy (see details here).

NEW ITEMS
Introducing the "Pamela" flapper hat! This retro-inspired cutie is named after my mother, for whom - after much complaining and teasing on her part - I promised to name my next creation. Here it is, mom!



Also officially joining my repertoire is the "Flower Scarf," so named because you can roll this lacey lovely up into a flower. It looks lovely on your dresser when not in use.




GIVEAWAY
Oh yes, the giveaway! It's quite simple, really: Leave a comment on this post and you will automatically be entered to win one of my new "Flower" scarves. You have until February 22 at midnight (EST), after which my husband will pull a name from a hat. The winner will be announced the following day. That's it! Now go eat some cake and enjoy my birthday!

And the winner is...

...Donna!!! Congratulations, you win one of my newly designed Shelly Caps! We will be in touch :-) Thanks to my husband for drawing the name for me. And happy International Crochet Day to everyone, as well - I hope you all got some crocheting in today.

I spent the day in the rain at the Montgomery County Scottish-Irish Festival, to which we will return tomorrow, hopefully in the sunlight. We came home earlier than we had planned, and I was going to make myself a black and white hat and scarf set (for Cornwall, One and All), but alas! I have no suitable black yarn at the moment. So instead I got out the sewing machine and made myself a purple plaid skirt to wear tomorrow. Perhaps I'll pair it with my almost-not-tacky crochet Irish Rose vest for a truly... "unique" look.

Don't forget the GIVEAWAY!!!

Just a reminder to enter my International Crochet Day Giveaway. You have until midnight on Saturday, September 12!

Crochet Day GIVEAWAY!

Here it is, my friends, the giveaway you've all been waiting for! In honor of International Crochet Day on Saturday, Sept. 12, I will give away one of my new Shelly Caps*. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite yarn or fiber (or e-mail likeclochework@gmail.com). It's that simple! At midnight on Sept. 12 I will put all the names into a hat and my extraordinarily talented husband will draw a name from said hat. Winner will be announced on Sunday, Sept. 13. Let the games begin!


*I choose the color, you choose the size.
