Another good karma giveaway!


I have nothing to blog about today. How about a giveaway?

I will be giving away your choice of *ANY* one sweater from my shop to one lucky winner! Ready for the rules?


Mandatory Entry:
* Go to my shop and let me know which sweater is your favorite (doesn't have to be the one you win).

Want an extra entry?
* Follow my blog, and if you already do just say that.
* Do something kind... Slip a sweet note in your husband's lunchbox, play that game you've played a hundred times with your kid that you hate, but your kid loves, a random act of kindness to a stranger, bring some baked goods to a neighbor (that's what got someone the winning entry in one of my past good karma giveaways!) , and let us know what you did! It will make you feel good about yourself, make the recipient of the good fortune happy, and it will get you another entry! No fair posting something you already did, or were planning to do!... it's makes it more fun this way!
* Blog about this giveaway & link to it.
* Blog about encouraging kindness, and giving. (you can blog in the same post about this giveaway & encouraging kindness, and still get 2 entries).
* Have a giveaway of your own!

Make sure to leave a separate comment for the entries you complete!

Deadline: Saturday, February 13th at midnight, Central time zone. I will use random.org to pick the winners the following morning (February 14th). **please leave an email if your blogger profile does not include it or you don't have a blog. I need a way to contact you.** Once a winner is drawn I will contact them and the winner will have 48 hours to reply back before I draw a new winner.

*Due to the weight of some sweaters (could cost $40 to ship one heavy sweater in some countries!), i'm afraid i'll have to limit the contest to US & Canada residents only for ANY sweater. Those from other countries can still enter, but will be limited to sweaters that are under 1 lb.

I love the Big soft blue argyle lambswool sweater for upcycling. Argyle is simply classic and fun.

Wow..nbr (484) the cashmere diamond design sweater would make a beautiful pair of couture gloves ;-)

My hubby is outside shoveling 2 ft of fresh snow with more falling. I am going to cook him his favorite Penne ala Vodka w/ sausage for his thank you dinner. If you have been reading my blog on Friday..you know he is getting pie for dessert!

Marla said...

I follow your blog. Also, this week I took a meal to a friend who is recovering from surgery. No one asked me to do this...I hope they liked it!

[393] Big slate blue cashmere sweater for upcycling
love this color and it looks so soft!

truemomrn said...

My favourite is the #464- soft froggable maroon wool sweater. Ever since reading Harry Potter, where his friend Ron gets a handknitted maroon sweater for Christmas from his mother and maroon dress robes I wanted to find out what the colour "maroon" looked like. I thought of it as an ugly colour, as Ron really hates it....-but, as I found with the sweater in your shop, it isn´t ugly at all- I REALLY LIKE IT! Thanks for having this giveaway!
I was so very pleased when I got my wool sweater package I ordered from you! It was really worth paying the overseas shipping- they are so soft and nice and I really adore the camel sweater- did not even upcycle it, it´s sooo nice for wearing....Thanks, Kris!

I am sorting my yarn right now to whip up 40 premie hats in 40 days for lent. I don't give anything up, instead I take time and make something for someone in need. I will make a few extras in honor of your good karma giveaway.

No fair making me pick- there are so may gorgeous sweaters! But I love the blue argyle and the lovely striped cashmere- I am shopping half for my daughter and half for my baby boy due in June :) So many lovelies!

Natalie said...

And I am now officially a follower! Wahoo!

Darlene said...

I loved #479, the plum colored turtle neck with the snag on the sleeve. I'd frog it for the yarn - unless I make something else out of it after felting it.

buzzd said...

I like [462] big soft purple wool sweater with fair isle accents

lindylinda said...

I love (499) Stripped cashmere! What great colors! Thanks for the great wool ideas on your blog.

stepholiveira said...

I love the striped GAP cashmere (#499)...it looks so warm and cozy. I have enjoyed your blog and all the fun ideas for wool felting projects.

Today I have made a dessert for a meal for the homeless women that seek shelter in churches around town. I hope I can dig out from the snow from the weekend to deliver it. 3 days and no sign of a plow yet.

Alissa said...

oh man... that's hard! i think i like 368 or 464 the most... they're both fabulous.

I did my good deed for the day...while at the Goodwill store shopping for wool sweaters (what else?), I gave a girl enough money to get herself a pair of shoes that she was eyeing and did not have the funds for and was getting ready to leave empty-handed.

Unfortunately, my "good deed" entry comes because of tragedy. My neighbors lost their house and most of their belongings in a fire today. Our church is working to round up some things that they need and I was able to come up with 2 bags of clothes in the right sizes! I feel like it is so small in comparison to what they lost, but I guess every little bit helps! Our prayers are with them!

Anonymous said...

I keep going back to look at the pale yellow cardigan on page 3 D12, 512, along those lines. And I think my good deed shall be putting together a Mardi Gras package and sending it to some little family members who live up north and aren't able to experience the wonderful Mardi Gras parades like we get to in South Louisiana....

Bailey said...

the argyle cashmere sweater! Oh what great things that could make!

Kati K said...
