Hooray! Crochet Giveaway

by Kelly

We're having a giveaway!

Lately we've been working on improving our shop, and we've decided that we could use a little impartial advice. In return for your help, you'll earn a chance to win some cool crochet stuff. We'll get to the rules in just a second, but first let's talk about the prizes.

We worked hard to choose things that would be useful and interesting to all crocheters, whether they're just starting out or are very experienced.

 Here are the items that you might win!




The Susan Bates crochet hooks are Silvalumes and Crystalites, size F5 (3.75mm) through size K10.5 (6.5mm) And yes, folks, those are the old style Silvalumes. There's a bit of controversy over their recent redesign, so if you've been looking for the originals, here's your chance to win a set.

There are three ways to enter our Hooray! Crochet giveaway.

1. Leave a comment on this post.

2. Check out our shop over there in the sidebar or at this link and pick out your favorite item, then tell us what it was in your comment.

3. Give us ideas! Name one thing that isn't in our shop that you would like to see. And no, it doesn't have to be a crochet item or crochet supplies. Between us we also embroider, cross stitch, do plastic canvas work, quilt, knit, and spend a lot of time in our respective gardens.

If you do all of the above, you will receive three entries for the giveaway.

That's all you have to do! And don't worry if your comments don't appear right away - our moderation is on to prevent spam from clogging the giveaway.
 
 The giveaway will end on  February 7th, 2012. The winner will be announced in a blog post on February 8th, and contacted by email if that information is provided. The winner must respond within 48 hours or a new winner will be chosen. When the winner has contacted us, we will officially close the contest with a final giveaway post.

                                    Technical Stuff

Please make sure your name is unique. Example: 'Kelly 178' or 'applejacks' would be good choices.

Winner will be chosen by use of random.org.

International shipping available for the giveaway, so if you're outside the U.S. you're welcome and eligible to win!


Good luck everyone! We can't wait to see your comments and suggestions!

 You will notice a lot of deleted posts in the comment section. This is solely because of my inexperience in handling this amount of action on our blog. If your email has been accidentally posted so that it is visible, you have my sincerest apologies. I am currently reading through every comment to ensure that all private info is indeed private. If your comment was deleted, it will be restored in such a way that your privacy is ensured. This may take some time.
Once again, I am truly sorry that this happened.  - Kelly

    ReplyDelete
  69. I like the flag, but i think it would sell better if it had 50 stars on there instead of the 46. Your Christmas ornaments are lovely, but would look great if you used 50/50 white glue/water to stiffen them out. Thank you for the contest. Looking forward to winning something.

    I love the prizes you've chosen for the giveaway. Especially the book on edgings!
    I took a look at your shop. Very cute! Id love to see some afghans that have fun characters cross stitched on them. I was surprised you don't have a bigger selection of housewares items. I also notice that the only holiday you have is Christmas. Id like to see others like Easter and Valentines day.
    My favorite item is definitively the Monet Ruffle baby blanket. Its just wonderful! Id be very proud to be able to gift that to a new baby! Its gorgeous!
    Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  109. I'm a big crocheter and I would love to see a wide selection of types of crochet hooks. The different sizes are great, but to be able to get those sizes in different styles or when they are made in different ways is the best.

    ReplyDelete
  135. You know, from checking out your Etsy site, with your skills, what I could picture you offering are baby and wedding related products. Those are 2 areas that mix well with your skills and "heirloom" items. I can just picture a crocheted topped or embroidered ring bearer's pillow on your site. Hope that helps.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Love those crocheted afghan borders!

    ReplyDelete
  137. Spa-Scented Cloths in lavender, aloe vera and chamomile, with lovely white edging...these are my hands-down favorites! And the scents match the cloth colors...so very pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  142. I'd like to see more crochet hats, especially slouchies. I just learned how to make them. I'm not really a hat wearer, but I've been sporting those with pride.

    ReplyDelete
  143. How can any crocheter resist entering such a great giveaway? I'm headed over to the shop to pick and post my fave...

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  147. I love everything in your shop, I don't have any suggestions of things to add...

    ReplyDelete
  148. Of the offerings, I would have to select the white spiral afghan for these reasons: it looks like something I would have to engage with to complete, rather than just mindlessly draw through loops, it looks like an object that anyone would love to have and display, and it obviously took some imagination to devise.

    I would like to see more complicated and attractive designs that do not look like something only middle-aged women with ducklings or kittens as the main feature in their decor would display.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Awesome! I would love to have a full set of needles. I just have a few sizes here and there that i picked up as i went along.

    ReplyDelete
  150. This is great giveaway, Thanks.
    My favorite one is Monet Ruffles Baby Blanket.

    ReplyDelete
  151. What a fantastic giveaway. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I love the American Flag afghan. It is my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I didn't see slippers in the shop and I would love to see some for children and adults. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Thank you for making this great giveaway international :)

    The white spiral afghan in your shop is my favourite item. I love the intricate detail and the luxury of soft white wool :)


    I would love to see a unique style in your shop i.e. something that you do with your items that makes them unique from every other 'crochet seller' on etsy.

    Maybe offer personalisation on your items, like a name embroidered onto the items? Or only using repurposed yarns? Loving the ornament-trios. Maybe that can be adjusted to everyday ornaments e.g. baby room decorations?

    Your handywork is fantastic, just needs a distinguishing angle :)

    ReplyDelete
  155. There is no mittens or gloves in your shop!! I think they would be a great idea to be there...
    Thank you!!

    ReplyDelete
  156. I would love to see patterns offered! Also, I don't see any headbands/earwarmers.

    ReplyDelete
  161. I love the crocheted hanging towel with santa on it

    ReplyDelete
  162. Since I am a newbie to crocheting, the one thing that you don't have to offer is "how to" books or pamphlets. I am trying to soak up all the info I can so I may learn new things! Thanks again.

    ReplyDelete
  163. I would like to suggest 2 things : gloves (especially now - freezing cold in Belgium) and patterns for it and other items.

    ReplyDelete
  164. 1. You're Awesome!!!

    2. Definitely the amigurumi bears!

    3. What about more pdf patterns? I think it's a great way to buy patterns online. Maybe more amigurumies? or what about tatting since some of the few patterns looks similar to tatted lace.

    Good luck everyone :)

    ReplyDelete
  165. 1. :) Thanks for the chance to win!

  168. I am very new to crochet. My girls ages 8-14 have picked up it very quickly. They learned from YouTube videos and books from the library. Good step by step instructions are great for us beginners!

  173. Thank you for this giveaway!! I'm really excited... would LOVE to win. I especially need hooks. I've been crocheting for nearly two years (and I crochet a lot - I'm a 911 dispatcher and crochet every day at work between 911 calls!) and I still only have 3 basic hooks. I'd love to branch out and try different patterns that utilize hooks I don't have.

  174. One thing that I would love to see... is a gift basket for those new to crochet. I have a lot of friends who want to learn... but sometimes I get so wrapped up in my own projects I'm not the best at showing them the way. I'd love to see a gift basket... with basic hooks, some nice bright yarn, and swatches... like paint swatches but showing what a row of SC, HDC, DC, etc looks like. I taught myself crochet from a book and I think having samples of what actual, good crochet looks like would have been very helpful.

  177. I love several items in your shop. Perhaps the most would be the Pot holder and hot pad (red, white and blue)
