Wow - congratulations on such a milestone! I just found you through Ravelry but I must say, I will definitely be playing catch-up and hanging out for the rest of this ride.
ReplyDeleteAs for what you asked...
* I love to crochet granny squares. They are just so sweet and versatile and homey. I have a shameless love affair with grannys.
* My favorite fiber would honestly be acrylic... you know, the soft and squishy but not easily split kind. Does that make sense?
* My favorite weight is DK or Worsted. Anything less than DK is just too fiddly for me.
* My favorite colors... oh wow, this is hard. How about I just say that I like bright, happy colors. Will that work?
I also wanted to let you know that I am now following you through GoogleConnect, I have liked your page on Facebook and am following you on Twitter as well. I don't want to miss a thing.
Congratulations again - I'm off to play catch up!
Congrats on your first year!!! :0)

I also tweeted about this, and have signed up to follow the blog. Thanks for the great giveaway, and your Rowan vest is absolutely AMAZING! Congratulations on your win. You are really talented...
Hello Jean! You are the big winner! I hope this message finds you. Please email me your snail mail address and Ravelry name at laurindar3atgmaildotcom. And let me know what yarns besides mohair you would like, maybe some cotton for making toys? That's what I like to use. I do have mohair to send you as well, and blue is easy as most of my stash is blues and greens. How do you feel about a mostly dark green mohair with bits of navy blue, burgandy, and gold? I have several skeins of this, and will include it if you think you can use it. :)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI've just popped over from Ravelry! What a wonderful giveaway!
My Favorite Thing(s) to Crochet are shawls and scarves and cardigans and gloves and hats; it depends on my mood! Hats are always good.
My Favorite Fiber(s) (for serious work, or just for fun) are mostly acrylic/wool blends, although plain superwool is OK too.
My Favorite Weight of Yarn to Work With is aran because it works up quickly and there are so very many patterns that use it. I also like double knitting but I'm less keen on the finer yarns.
My Favorite Color(s) are most of the mid to dark shades of blue and wine red. On the whole I prefer darker, jewel colours to pastels.
I've joined your blog (although I'll be following in a blog reader), I've started following you on Twitter and I've tweeted this giveaway.
Wow, this is just so full of awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour Favorite Thing(s) to Crochet: Hats (for the VA, they helped my dad a lot), and kittie blankets for the Humane Society
Your Favorite Fiber(s) (for serious work, or just for fun); Acrylic - its just so easy to keep clean
Your Favorite Weight of Yarn to Work With - Worsted, works up fast, but not too fast. :-)
Your Favorite Color(s): Off-white and purple (but not togheter :-) )

Congrats on your views!!
Love ur vest. Congrats. I like to crochet a variety of things, mostly wearables. I make a lot of gifts, so it varies, though I use worsted and #3 the most. I like trying different fibers, but tend to stay away from hand wash wools. Pinks, teals, purple, off white, blue, gray, beige colors. Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI am loving this giveaway! What a generous way to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteMy answers:
I love to crochet dishcloths and thus cotton yarn. Wool yarns make me itch!
Having a new love affair with lace cotton, too!
I make things for my young daughters to wear, too.
I love cotton and acrylic yarns in bright, happy colors. But my favorites are blues.
I follow on twitter and Facebook.
I'm thrilled to be a part of your community and celebration!
Great giveaway! I love to crochet toys and things for my house. Blankets and clothes are my nemeses due to my lack of patience to finish large projects! I love cotton yarns best, but also love silky bamboo and soft merino. My favourite colours are muted berry type colours, navy, neutral greys and caramels. In the uk our basic go-to yarn is DK which is like your sport weight I think.
ReplyDeleteAlso follow you on twitter and will retweet the link to this great giveaway :)
Congrats on a great first year! Thanks for the great giveaway. Right now my favorite thing to crochet is baby things. I will have 3 new grandchildren by the end of the year, making 11!

There is no way to explain the pain. I am sorry for your loss. Blessings to you
