Ok, maybe not great...but certainly not bad yarn give away.
Here's the deal. I have 13 boxes of yarn and I don't mean small boxes. I mean storage boxes, the kind you have to get a guy at K-Mart to pull down off the shelves. I have nearly 100lbs of yarn. It has taken over the house. So the box you see here is full of yarn from top to the bottom and this is the actual box with the actual yarn that can and will go to one of you.
To let you know: I don't do expensive yarn see The Great Yarn Debate so this is garden fare yarn some of it is sport weight, some chunky, most is worsted. Colors are all over the map: black, white, blue, different wines and red, pink, green, variegated.
There's Paton's Classic merino, Paton's Canadiana, Red Heart, Lion Brand Wool-Ease and Jiffy, Sensations boucle and mohair, Bernat's Softee Chunky and some that I don't remember the brand names.
There's at least a dozen skeins. There's enough for booties, hats, even a scarf or two.
So How Do You Get It?
Simple: you have to do 2 comments. One on any post in the blog and the other on this post to let me know which post your comment is on. In others words; say I am Anita Purl (get it, I need a purl? Oh, I crack me up.) I make a comment on 'The Head 2 Toe Project" (December 2007) and I come back to this post and say: Anita Purl: The Head 2 Toe Project.
That's it - I would be entered in my own contest. Wouldn't it be a hoot if I won?
Next, every one who comments will have their names placed in a hat and the hubby-bubby will select the winner. The winner will be selected and announced on November 28, 2008 (which happens to be my birthday.) The winner will give me an address to send the goods and off they go. Now my h-b would prefer I keep this box and give away the rest, but that's not gonna happen.
That's the whole deal. Trust me, if this goes well, there's more than enough yarn for me to do this again in May (to celebrate my wedding anniversary!)
Happy posting!
No, it doesn't count if you've commented before - you have to do a fresh one!

Hi! I left a comment on October 13's project updates (I hadn't noticed the date until just now, and that was my birthday!).
I love the idea of this contest. We have a group that knits a lot of charity items, and a contest like this would bring a full box of yarn! If I win, I can take a little for something to knit and then share the whole box - they're always desperate for yarn!
Hi there , I am Turtle and i also left a comment on the great yarn debate!

Gotta love those workhorse yarns!
I'm Timiae... "The Great Yarn Debate."
Your stash is impressive. And I completely love the garden fare workhorse yarns. I couldn't afford to knit if all I used were fancy yarns. But every now and then, I do require a little spoiling.
Anyway, I posted a comment to your post "Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldier's Families"
Thank you.
I commented on "It's Your What?" And as a knitter on a budget-(hoping to go back to vet school soon and saving for tuition and living expenses) I can really appreciate the workhorse yarns!
