Contest!!!
July 9th, 2007 at 5:55 pm (contest)
To celebrate the location of my new blog (and yay for a new domain!) I’m giving away a little giftie for summer knitting. This cute bag is lightweight, a canvasy type material; but will stand up on it’s own as shown here.
The story behind this bag: I bought a book at my LYS. When I was telling a friend about it and how much I paid, I realized there had been an error in what they charged me. They had overcharged me by a bit. I called them on the phone, explained the situation, and said I could come by later that day to get the refund done (I don’t live that far from this LYS). When I was in the shop, the owner apologized profusely about the error; and gave me this bag as an apology. I thought a kindness like this should be shared out, and since I was looking for blog giveaway item, it’s perfect!
But wait, there’s more! Take a peek inside the bag:
Nestled inside is enough yarn to knit two pairs of socks. One is an Opal yarn (100g ball) and the other some knit-picks patterning sock yarn that are so fun to knit up!
To enter the contest, please send an email to contest AT persistentknitter DOT com. (You may leave a comment, but to enter the contest you MUST send email to that address or you won’t be in the drawing!) If you think it’ll help you can give me a good story as to why you should win, but I’ll just choose the winner by random. Get your email to me by Saturday July 14th, at midnight pacific time!

What a really lovely gesture. I don’t really have a good reason as to why I should win but I love contests and love to win prizes.
I love the bag and I LOVE to knit socks. :)
I hope you enjoy your new “home”.

The new blog is so pretty! I’ve been out of touch, but I think of you everyday when lugging the black backpack to work…
