give-away winners

I used a random number generator to pick 7 numbers between 1 and 116 (the number of comments - There were a few duplicates and deleted messages, which confused things, but hopefully the randomness of the numbers makes everything okay).

The first two on the list win a copy of one of my e-books: Bonnie and Bev (neither left an email, so I hope you both check back here!).

The following five get a single pattern of their choice: Wendi, Julianne, momoshari, Little Ol' Liz, and Karine (I'll be sending you all emails, so please check for them).

You can have a look at my Ravelry shop, if you're not sure which book or pattern you want. Please send me an email to let me know which pattern you will like, and I'll send you the download link via Ravelry.

Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment! I don't think I've ever had so many responses to a give-away, and I did read every one. I can't tell you how much it gladdened my heart to read some of your lovely and generous comments about my blog and patterns. It makes me even happier that I will soon have more time to spend designing and writing for you.

I hope all of you have a lovely day, and have a chance to do something you love with someone you care about!

Big hugs from the very first lambs I ever knit :)

in-store pattern sales

I've just signed up for the in-store pattern sales option over on Ravelry. What this means is that brick and mortar local yarn shops can now sell my patterns via Ravelry (while getting a nice percentage of the sale price). If you have a yarn shop and are interested in the program, you can read more about it here.

Most of my single patterns are available this way. I've only excluded some of the older ones that need reformatting, and my two books.* It would be lovely if this new feature on Ravelry brings new customers both to myself and participating yarn shops!

*My two books are already available wholesale. If any yarn shops are interested, please email me.
