December 2 - today's giveaway

Good morning! I figure that I'll be able to get the daily giveaway up around 10 am (my time - Atlantic time), so I'll count whatever entries I get by then for the previous day. Yesterday's winner (thank you online random dice roller!) was Alison - congratulations! Up today for grab is a *huge* chunk of roving dyed by FatCatKnits on etsy. You don't have to be a spinner to use this stuff - you can needle felt it, use it for thrummed mittens, or even for knitting with (just separate it into pencil roving and chunkily knit away). Good luck, everyone!


In personal knitting news...Mr. Munchkin somehow lost a mitten in the grocery store last night. And you have never seen a sadder little boy. I swear his heart was completely broken by the way he was carrying on. But it's a good thing that he's got his mother and her stash - new mittens on the way now. Pictures to follow.

Thank you for this interesting idea. It sure does make one think about what they are doing for others! I love the colors of this roving.

I've always loved the "Pay It Forward" idea and try to do that on a daily basis. Even if it's something as little as letting the person behind me at the grocery store go first because they have fewer items. Cool idea you have!

Way to boost the comment count lady!!! And thank you for yesterday's yarn. Don't enter me today, or I'll have to not comment for a whole month! And I like to comment!

I have wool for the hat--1 undyed, 1 very pale tan colour, and 1 washed out orangey colour. I think they'll look okay together. Thanks for the pattern.
