Milestones giveaway!
I reached two milestones in the past week. I now have 200 Facebook fans and I just posted my 300th blog post! To celebrate, I’m having a small giveaway with a little something for the crocheters and knitters who read my blog.
For my crochet peeps:
I’m giving away a PDF copy (via email or to your Rav library) of my Beginner’s Guide to Tunisian Crochet ebook, along with 2 bamboo Tunisian crochet hooks sent to you via snail mail. This ebook includes instructions on the three basic Tunisian crochet stitches as well as three pattern stitches, along with recipes for scarf patterns. You can use these same stitch patterns for other types of sampler projects, like blanket squares, pillows, scrubbies, or placemats.
For all you knitters out there:
I’m giving away my copy of Stashbuster Knits: Tips, Tricks, and 21 Beautiful Projects for Using Your Favorite Leftover Yarn
Both giveaways are open to domestic and international readers. The winner will be chosen at random.

Hiya!!!
I would LOVE the crochet version of the gift you are giving away for your contest.
I am learning Tunisian crochet, and that book sounds fantastic. Thanks for the opportunity.
I already follow you on FB.
I am already in your Ravelry group and love it!
I knit and crochet so I would be happy with either one of these great prizes! Thanks for the opportunity! If I have to pick a first choice, I guess it would the knitting prize but either would be wonderful!
I would like the knitting prize. I would use the needles to start another Hemlock Ring
I joined your Rav group–I am Lnupermom there
I would like the crochet prize.Thanks for this wonderful opportunity
I do both, but already have the Tunisian ebook
The prize would come in handy for ideas on what to use my stash for. I have way more stash than I thought I did, what was I thinking trying to organize it 
I am also in your group on Ravelry.
I have also posted on FB
Shared on FB and joined your ravelry group as Marseeya.
I would love to learn Tunisian Crochet.
I’m both a knitter & crocheter, but I have never tried Tunisian. I think my preference would lie there.
I’ve posted on my twitter feed: https://twitter.com/#!/DoyleCg/status/174153111622008833
And I’ve jumped into your Ravelry group. ;p
Also posted and shared info on my Facebook Page.
Im Andi Bee on FB. Also joined your Ravelry Group. RissaTS on Rav.
Thank you.
Crochet all the way!
Congratulations. I started blogging recently so I can appreciate the accomplishment of 300, posts. (a month ago maybe not so much) I also enjoy reading your interviews and project updates, so keep going.
I knit and do not crochet, so I would prefer the knitting prize. I do no’t have size 9 circs so I’m sure they will come in handy. I also habe a few skeins amd hanks of yarn with no projects in mind so maybe this book could help.
Oh, the knitting package sounds wonderful! I’m on your ravely group and Facebook!
I’m more of a knitter, so I would love to read the Stashbuster book and try the Dreamz needles. I’ve had my eye on them for a while – they are so pretty! I’m sorry they didn’t work out well for you, what features do you prefer in a knitting needle?
I tweeted! (And I’m interested in the knitting prize.) https://twitter.com/#!/MamaHobbit/status/174168959799672833
I am both knitter and crocheter but I prefer the knitting prize!

I’d love the knitter’s prize. Since 2005 99% of my yarn purchases have been from thrift shops, where I often get single and partial skeins, of which I now find myself with a plethora. Any and all advice found in this book would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the giveaway.
Me? I’d love the knitting prize! Heaven knows I have plenty of stash and need ideas!
Thanks!

I’m in your Rav group. KittenWhiplash. I just realized that without the “With A” part, I could be confused for Snidely’s grandchild.
Congratulations!! I would be interested in either of the giveaways.
Thanks for a super giveaway and may your numbers continue to grow by leaps and bounds.
I would be interested in the crochet giveaway, as I’m just starting to learn Tunisian.
I’m also in your Ravelry group
I definitely would like to have the tunisian ebook. Sounds fantastic!
have posted to rav, twitter and FB.
Thanks, karyn! The class was great, but exhausting! I feel like I need another weekend
.
Ok, I have Abby, Enjoli, Marcia, Christine, Kacy, and aimeefae entered for the crochet prizes. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I entered craftink, lynn p, Gwendolyn, Julie, Kara, KittenWithAWhiplash, and Beth W for the knitting prizes.
Thanks, Gwendolyn – I was surprised to see how many posts I had!
Kara, I’m still finding out my favorite knitting needles, since I’ve only been knitting for about 18 months. These ones seemed to cut up my yarn.
I’m so glad to see two multicraftual entries from Jennifer Lucas and Rose.
Oh, I’d love the knitter’s prize as I went through my stash over the weekend and felt such guilt as I have waaaay too much yarn for any one person! Thanks for the chance to win this great book.
Haha, Evelyn. This book definitely will help with stashbusting ideas.
I would love to be entered for the crochet prize. I have been dabbling in tunisian crochet and the ebook sounds fantastic!!! Thanks!
I just joined your ravelry group and would like to be entered for the knitting prize. I haven’t actually learned how to knit yet, but I’m taking a class starting this weekend. I think the knitting book for beating my yarn stash and what would be my first pair of circular needles would help catapult me into the world of knitting
Congratulations on becoming bi-craftual, Erin! Good luck with the knitting lessons.
I would love the crochet prize. I would love to learn Tunisian stitches. I have been wanting to try it but have never gotten a hook. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway.
sandyb, Tunisian crochet is very fun!
I joined your ravelry group.
If I won I would want the knitting prize. Mostly because I haven’t gotten up to Tunisian crochet yet. I’m still making all kinds of mistakes with plain crochet
Christina, Tunisian is actually a bit easier than “plain” crochet, but I totally understand not wanting to add too many new things at once!
I am already a member of your Ravelry group and I still like the Knitting prize.
I shared this on Facebook.
P.S. knitting prize.
I joined your group on Ravelry.
I tweeted about the giveaway.

Hi !
I will definately sign in for crochet prize !
Tunisian crochet blink at me from time to time, and i will be please to start with you design !!
Oh, and i’ve just join your group on ravelry !!! ;D
Knitting with leftovers is definitely fun. I have made one sock yarn blanket and now am making a worsted weight blanket for the homeless shelter.
I would like to learn crochet tunisian. This looks like an excellent tool. Thank you for making this giveaway available.
I have just sent in a request to join your Ravelry group. My ravelry name is BearyAnn
I am on a serious stash buster diet and sorely in need of inspiration that says use what you have not drool over yarn you can’t afford so would love this.
already in rav group.
I would prefer the knitter prize. I always looking for projects to use up leftover stash. I have been waiting to try the Dreamz needles.
Thanks for entering!
@ LaNouchette and BearyAnn: I think you will have a lot of fun if you dive into Tunisian crochet.
@ Sherry: You can definitely find a lot of scrappy projects that would be great for charity knitting in this book.
@ cguard and Knittingdancer: The book is really specific about the yardage used for different parts of each project, so you can definitely dive deep into your stash.
I’m a knitter and I love stashbusting and Melissa Leapman’s patterns.
Thanks for stopping by to enter, patsy.
I’d prefer the crochet prize as I’d love to learn Tunisian crochet
Welcome, Redhedhels and thanks for entering.
I would love the tunisian ebook, I would love to try your moss stitch scarf-I just faved the book today, before I read this post!
What a weird coincidence, Simone! Thanks for entering and sharing the love.
I am also a member of your ravelry group (tilly27)
And I shared the love on facebook!
Wohoo! That is too awesome. I’m a better crochet than knitter so Tunisian it is. Maybe I’ll teach Tunisian once I figure it out to the kids at the library; we recently started a craft club there. Knitting is tempting but I’ll try to find it at the local library instead.
Welcome, Ying, and it is great to hear that you are working with kids at the library!
Thanks for this! I would love to have the crochet version
I just joined your Ravelry group too! 
Welcome Meg, and thanks for entering and joining my Ravelry group!
Lovely giveaway! I would like the knitting prize.
Thanks for entering, Connie K.
Ooh, this is a hard choice… I would love to learn Tunisian crochet, but at the same time I have a giant stash. I think stash wins out this time lol, so I would love the Stashbuster knits book, although I’d be happy with either prize. Thank you for the giveaway!
Thanks for entering, Teresa! I will enter you for each prize (one for each of your entries), ok?
