Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
Today is a good day to be here. I am hosting a big giveaway on Spud says! to thank you for your support of Spud & Chloë during our first couple of months. It has been a great ride so far because of you.
Let me tell you what you can win in this giveaway:
1 Spud & Chloë pattern for the Flap Happy Hat
1 Spud & Chloë pattern box to store your collection of patterns (here is the box folding tutorial)
4 skeins of Spud & Chloë Sweater yarn in Grass, Moonlight, Popsicle and Pollen (These are the colors the hat is worked in for the pattern and they make a gorgeous combination.)
1 Pom Tree (this is my personal favorite pom-pom making tool)
The Pom Tree is a really fun tool for making the pom-poms and tassels for this hat. There is a tutorial available here on how to use the Pom Tree if you are interested. This is a versatile tool you will treasure forever. I use mine all of the time!
Here is the ravelry link for the Flap Happy Hat if you want to check that out.
Now, the rules are simple to enter the contest. All you have to do is leave a comment to say hello and only one comment per person please. In your comment please leave an identifying something or other like your name, location, link, etc. I will leave the contest open through Wednesday, July 29, 2009. That’s it.
On Thursday, July 30 I will use a random number generator to pick a winner. I will then post the winner’s name right here on Spud says! I can’t wait. Be sure to check in. The winner will have until Saturday, August 1rst, 2009 to email me with their mailing address. My email is on the sidebar under, Contact Susan. If I don’t hear from the winner by the end of Saturday I will select a new winner on Sunday, August 2nd.
I am excited to offer this fun first-time giveaway to you. Good luck if you enter. I’ll be back before you know it with the winner. Until then…let the comments begin!
Oh, and another tidbit of fun to share with you is here. Be sure to hop on over to see the fantastically beautiful Outer and Sweater yarn baby blankets from the Purlbee. Wow!! I’ll take a couple of those for myself, please. Great work and use of the yarns.
Added on July 30th: The contest is officially over. Thank you to all who entered.

Hello.
That’s all I had to do, right? Oh ok, fine, I’ll write something else too.
I haven’t been able to get my hands on Spud and Chloe yarns yet, though from what I’ve heard they are dreamy. Crossing my fingers that this is my chance!
I just popped over to find the Ribbit pattern and saw this giveaway – just in time! Your site is great and I can’t wait to try your yarn (whether I win it or buy it) because it looks fabulously soft and gorgeous.

would love to win something to knit – I am new to the knitting game and would love to hone up my skills. I am already a quilter and love to do embroidery as well. Always wanted to learn how to knit and find it so fun!
Well, I know it’s a longshot but I’ve got to try! Would love this fantastic giveaway!
I have just purchased the track jacket pattern and sweater yarn. I am exicted to start this project for my 23 year old son who is in pharmacy school at UW-Madison. I need to finish a few projects before I start…hopefully in the next week or so. I love your blog and have made many of your hats from Itty Bitty Baby Hats. Have a great day.
Would love this giveaway. I have two little grandchildren and I know just what I would knit with that fabulous yarn.
Would love to win that Pom Tree, and the rest of the package. Even though I know the queen of pompoms, mine are not pretty.
Thanks for the contest!
Oh, what fun – s give-a-way…love them…hope I win!
Hello from rainy Brooklyn!
I’ve been hearing so much about you guys, but I haven’t seen any of the goods in-person yet. I’m looking forward to it! Thanks for the nice contest – just the thing to break the monotony of fussing about the weather!
just heard about the blog on your Webs interview. Looks like a fun place to hang out. The patterns are great for coastal living, not too warm and not too cold.
Looking forward to catching up.
