Contest #1: Celebrate Your Life

My first ever contest--this was fun.

Shopping Yet???

There were some great sales over the weekend for the superbowl, and boy, all my friends will tell you that I love swaps because I love to shop. I won't tell what I got. That way you can't tell what is for me or my swap partner BUT I hit two of my local yarns stores (and back again) went to the Amish Market (they do have some cool stuff) and went to a local coffee shop. I was shopping with Pheelya and we had to stop at Starbuck's for a coffee and snack break so we could have more energy! Hope everyone else is having as much fun as I am!

Contest #3

I would knit the long-sleeved cardigan version of Eris, with BFL from Wooly Wonders by Nada, in the dark brown shown here, or the Coffee with Extra Cream colorway.

Contest number two: A Still Life with Coffee & Yarn

Here is my submission. This is the yarn and coffee I received from my pal, LaVerna. I hope you guys like this one. ;) Everyone elses pictures look great so far. This is really exciting to see all the ideas.

Happy Knitting!

I got my package already!!!

My partner and I have exchanged emails but I haven't gotten her package together yet - well I better get my butt in gear!

Just look at all the goodies LaVerna sent me!!!! Please click on the photos to get a better idea of just how gracious she was with her package! There is over 600m of beautiful yarn!!! There is a coffee mug, an inspirational book, a dishcloth with Texas on it (I was a little slow seeing that one!) , stitch-markers, a really cool pattern!, oh yes Coffee - 3 different kinds to be exact, note cards, biscotti, & piroulines! I don't think I left anything out, but did I mention the yarn!

This is the nicest stuff I have ever seen and definitely have ever owned! WOW! LaVerna, I just don't see how I am going to even come close to this for you, but you can bet I am gonna try! Thank you so much for such a wonderful package! Hubby and I will most definitely enjoy the coffee and I am gonna enjoy the rest of the loot!
